Timex Timex Marathon
Made for smaller wrists, this sports watch boasts many of the features of the full size watches. Excellent for athletic youths or smaller-framed adults.

Times Fan Disappointed
Date:May 3, 2013
I'm sadly disappointed with this watch. I wanted a simple sport watch that I could wear for all my activities, including swimming. I am a regular lap swimmer and have worn a watch in the pool for years. After the second swim, the outer part of the buckle came off, leaving the pin and the tongue still in the band. MEC graciously replaced the watch. The same thing happened again: the outer part of the buckle fell off the band as a result of hitting the plastic lane ropes. I am neither a competitive nor an aggressive swimmer, so I do not hit the lane ropes hard during backstroke. I really liked the style, but this watch won't work for me.
Pros: Simple
Cons: poorly made

not so small
Date:May 3, 2013
no complaints whatsoever. plenty of watch for a low price. just wanted to comment on the size. i purchased the watch online based on comments about it being small.
i have found that i need to put it on the smallest size in order for the watch not to slip over my wrist bone. i am what would be called petit, but certainly not small.
i like my new watch but discovered that it is twice as thick (high profile) as the Ironman men's model and the face not much smaller in diameter.
great value watch, just not so small if that is really important in your decision making.
Pros: Simple, Good Value, Reliable

Good for the money
Date:March 10, 2012
If you have a small wrist this is an invaluable addition to your sporty gear. It is stylish enough to be worn in casual occasions and sturdy enough for sporting events. Good quality build and very light.
Pros: Rugged, Lightweight, Simple, Good Value, Reliable

The value of time
Date:October 16, 2011
Being an old dog, I don't need a watch that can time 50 laps, or even 8 laps, for a single exercise session. More than one lap might kill me. Just teasing! This meets my basic needs (time, day, date, timer, alarm & light), is small enough that it sits semi-discretely on my wrist, and has a very friendly price.
It is sufficient and efficient - don't buy more than you need.
Pros: Lightweight, Simple, Good Value, Reliable, semi-discrete

Does everything is says!
Date:July 2, 2011
Great for my small wrist and a great basic athletic watch for the price: date, indiglo light (for my son's night wakenings), alarm, easy to read and operate.
Only wish that it came in more attractive colours/design.
Pros: Rugged, Lightweight, Simple, Good Value, Reliable, Waterproof
Cons: Unattractive

If Wrightsock ever abandons this model I may have give up walking. CoolMax is the ideal fibre and this double-sock design has kept my feet comfy for years. Great as liners for winter socks. The heels do wear out while the sock has a few more years left.
Pros: Good Value, Versatile
Cons: needs heel reinforcement

Perfect watch if you want something simple
Date:May 21, 2010
I love this watch as it's very simple and the price is right. It has the stop watch function, timer, alarm, and date. I like having a watch that I use all the functions and am not paying for "bells and whistles" I don't use. It also fits my tiny wrist and doesn't look like I'm wearing a mini computer!
Pros: Lightweight, Simple, Good Value, Reliable
