## Overview

The Timex Ironman Essential 30 Watch is a robust digital sports watch featuring a 100-hour chronograph with 30-lap memory, dual time zones, and a 24-hour countdown timer.

## Description

This bold modern design gives you a large digital screen on a circular watch case and smooth black silicone strap, with everything you love about Timex Ironman sports watches.

Review: Awesome design but not accurate at all - The overall design and quality (for the price) is very good. The screen is very legible and the straps adjust perfectly to the wrist. Its main/only problem is the accuracy, I've used it for 3 days and it already keeps losing time, about 5 minutes a day. It doesn't seem to have battery problems (the light works perfect).
Review: Quick delivery, handy watch for swimming - Very quick delivery. Great watch for timing laps in the pool.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this watch have military time capabilities?**
A: Yes it does...you choose between 12 and 24 hour format. Ive had it now for about three weeks and am very happy with it and that's coming from someone who has only worn Casio for over 25 years and have owned all the expensive models all the way up to the new $1000.00 Frogman. Finally, I can see the time again.

**Q: Dual time zone?**
A: Hello, thank you for your question! Yes this watch has a 2-time zone setting.

**Q: Does it has hourly signal?**
A: Hello, thank you for your question! Yes, this watch has an hourly chime option that can be turned ON/OFF.

**Q: is it a reasonably slim watch? i.e. Can you wear it with a business shirt & suit or does it prevent the cuff from showing under your suit jacket?**
A: You don't wear this watch with a business shirt and suit.  It is not appropriate but it is beyond the point of the question.  The watch is slim enough for its kind.  It isn't as thick as the Casio G-Shock but it isn't a dress watch.  It is a sport watch.  If you need a slim watch to wear with the suit, you should look somewhere else.
