Today I was doing some maintenance on my watch. This year will be the 13th year I had this Timex IronMan watch. Remember the old Timex motto, "It's takes a licking and keeps on ticking"? It's true!
I purchased the watch in 2005. So far it's on its second band and fifth battery. I use this watch for running, biking, swimming, hiking and sometimes just to time myself at doing certain tasks. I know when it's time to replace the battery because the numbers get faint and at certain angles with the light on I can't even see them.
I replace the battery myself. I was told as long as the gasket is still in one piece after the back cover is removed, the watch is still good. Replacing the battery is easy. Putting the band back on is a lot harder.
There is a broken piece on the face of the watch. I'm not sure if this will effect it when I'm in the water. I guess I'm going to take that chance. If or when this dies I'll buy another Timex.
