I received this watch over a decade ago as a gift and it's still working, with the original battery. I cracked the body on it today so instead of waiting for it to quit working due to dust and particles getting inside, I bought a new one. Surprisingly, it didn't have a manual included like it did before. Thanks for this video. Got me up and running in less than two minutes.

Awesome! Just replaced battery watching the battery video. Thank you! Also figured how to get repeat interval for 30 sec repeats to pace track running. Been going around that mountain a while on this watch, no kids in stores had a clue. So great to see repeat and end etc to set timer from this. Thankful! Taking the time to share this knowledge is much easier than reading instructions … feeling thankful!

Fantastic video! After days of considering which smart/fitness watch to buy, I ordered one of these, instead. They last forever and you can change the battery instead of buying a new device. My phone does everything a smart watch can do; I don't need redundant, $$$ devices. Thanks so much for this.

Totally agree! I actually have an Ironman r300 smart watch and during the first year I had to send it back to Timex for repair. It was a headache and took months to get it back… then I had to contact customer support to get it to pair to my phone because in the meantime I got a new phone. 🙄I’m afraid to wear it in the water and despite babying it, the face is scratched and chipped along the edges after a few years. The simple, yet inexpensive Ironman watches are true to Timex’s classic phrase, “Takes a licking and keeps on ticking.”

My 2016 model, TW5K86000, saves Chrono sessions. At the finish line, press Stop then hold Recall to put the date and lap times into storage. To Recall a list of your workouts hold the Recall button in when in Chrono mode. The Start and End buttons go through the list of session dates. Then use the Mode button to view the laps and splits in the selected session.

Donald- Thanks for posting this as others will find it helpful. The Ironman Classic models will store multiple chrono workouts by date. I also have a Classic in my collection which I prefer over the Shock model in this video. Unfortunately, the Ironman Shock model can only save the last workout... which is both “shocking” and lame in my opinion. :)

I still have it, but it needs repair. I wore it into the ocean and accidentally pressed a button, which filled it with salt water. I didn’t have time to take it apart for a few weeks so the sea water corroded it. It’s going to take some time to rebuild it although I may just buy another. In the meantime I’m wearing my 20 year old Jocko Willink Ironman T66801. I used to wear these watches 24/7 and even showered with them. With age the gaskets get tired so I’m still trying to find replacements.

Glad the video was helpful. This watch doesn’t have a speaker. If you’ve turned on the beep in settings and the watch doesn’t beep at all (for example, when a button is pressed), the most common issue is that the back plate was put on upside down after a battery change.

Did i miss something? Can you program uneven intervals like 10min-5min-10min?
@BruceAlanR
@BruceAlanR 5 жыл бұрын
Good question! Unfortunately, the Shock and many other models only have a single countdown timer, which means it’s good for a single repeating interval. Models like the Ironman Classic 100, Classic 50, Sleek 150 (not Sleek 30) have 2 countdown timers which allows you to do two different intervals (for example, 10-5-10-5-10-5 etc. ). It stinks quite honestly. Luckily, I also have a 20 year old classic that I still use on occasion.

If you want the chime to occur on the hour it will do that by default if you turn on the chime.

This watch is almost perfect! Anyone know a watch that is just like this, but has a GPS for pace count when running in random locations? Also, a heart rate monitor would be nice, but that's everything I want in a watch.

I agree. Would be great if there was an option that incorporated the old school display and features of the Ironman with modern features like GPS and heart rate monitoring. Let me know if you hear of anything.

I want my Iron Man to make more than one chime on timer. How do I change it in settings? If I select end, it gives me multiple chimes, if I select repeat it’s only one chime. I’m trying to run 20 second hundred meter intervals so I need to hear more than one beep can you help me? Thanks!

Can you set different time intervals like, 5min run and 2 minute walk? If you can how do you set it? The functions the watch has is the Chromo, Timer, Occassion and Alarm.
@BruceAlanR
@BruceAlanR 3 жыл бұрын
On this particular Shock model, there is only one countdown/interval timer, which means your run and walk times would need to be the same (2 minutes running, 2 minutes walking). Of course you could set the timer for 2 minute intervals and run through two sets of intervals and then walk 1, but that would only be 4 minutes of running followed by 2 minutes of walking.

I have just purchased the Ironman T5E511 for the purpose of setting up lap/interval times, please tell me that this watch does this function, having a hard time finding out how to make that work, I have just started a running program and this week it is 1 min rest and 2 min run?
@BruceAlanR
@BruceAlanR 5 жыл бұрын
If the Sleek works like the Shock model, use the chrono mode to time laps. Use the interval timer for 1 min rest, 2 minutes running. Since the Shock only allows for one interval at a time, set the interval timer for 1 minute.

Cocobutter Lalo is correct (thanks for posting!). The crescent moon means indiglo mode is on. If you press and hold the indiglo button until the watch beeps, indiglo will remain on until you press and hold it again to turn indiglo mode off.

Timex didn’t make it easy. 😁 Press and hold SET/RECALL to enter set mode. Then press the MODE (next) button repeatedly until CHIME appears in the display. Use the START/SPLIT button to toggle the chime on. Then press SET/RECALL (done).

My 2016 model, TW5K86000, saves Chrono sessions. At the finish line, press Stop then hold Recall to put the date and lap times into storage. To Recall a list of your workouts hold the Recall button in when in Chrono mode. The Start and End buttons go through the list of session dates. Then use the Mode button to view the laps and splits in the session.
