keps time well Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Was looking at clock reviews for a new station clock and saw the IRONMAN watch listed so I thought I'd chime in.

I've had one for years that I keep in my Sextant case. On average, it looses about 9 seconds PER YEAR if left on it's own. Great,dependable watch. Easy to set to WWV or time.is/UTC on line. The only reason it's not in the shack is that it doesn't stay lit and I need larger numerals.

General thought on station time keeping - I have an old reel/reel SONY and run WWV through one channel (off a general coverage rcvr (R-1000))and headphones through the other. You get time stamps of all you contacts. I think some old VCRs could do this also.

Great watch, I'm very happy with the accuracy.

A Keeper Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I've been wearing the IRONMAN Triathlon watch daily for at least eight to ten years. Can't remember exact date. Used it for all sorts of applications. The alarm is great. The timing of laps around my favorite walking path is great. Periodically I have to call TIMEX to get a new band for the old one has just worn out. Like the UTC time as well. I really do not know what I would replace it with if it crashes, unless perhaps another

Great for Hams Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Amen to the first reviewer!

You can easily switch back and forth from UTC to Local time. It is a wonderful watch for hams.

This one is a keeper. My daughter gave me mine three years ago and the watch is both accuarate and rugged.
