 1 glitch but otherwise, so-far-so-good March 28, 2008

It has performed exactly as described. I chose this one for its plain, no frills styling (all black...I like it that way)and size. I made sure I purchased the largest, plainest model available so it couldn't be confused with the female versions. It is quite large; I like that, too.
I'm not so fond of the wrist band styling, but it's not a major issue although I wish it was fastened onto the watch body in a more traditional manner. I wish it had the push-pins that other watches have so you could purchase a replacement band off the shelf and replace it yourself. This band appears to be integrated as part of the entire watch body. It seems sturdy, but if the band were to break it looks like you might need to have a jeweler replace it for you. I mention this because I've been pretty rough with all my previous Ironman products.
The glich:
I was on an elliptical machine at the healthclub that was wireless enabled for heart monitors and I think the transmission signal may have disturbed the watch function. The song volume spiraled uncontrollabley loud and spontaneously. I detached and re-attached the receiver and it worked fine and hasn't done this since. I'll keep an eye on this.
an oddity:
This display is very large and readable; however, when you activate the indigo/nightlight the illumination is "reversed." On my previous Ironman's the numbers would remain dark and the background lights up green. This watch lights the numbers green with a dark background...like a negative image. It's fine; I just had to get used to it.
overall:
I'm very happy with my purchase and I would recommend it. I've gone swimming with it and it works fine - just make sure you follow the instructions and DON'T press the buttons while you're underwater for fear of damaging the watch.
The only other thing is maybe it's a LITTLE larger that I'm used to.
FYI:
I don't know if Amazon updated the product discription to include 6th generation iPods, but I went to an apple store and checked it with Nanos and Classics, (G6). It works.
Out of the box review November 30, 2007
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
I have owned several Ironman watches in the past and have been happy. The main (out-of-the-box) complaint is that the band is not replaceable. I prefer the velcro straps and would have greatly welcomed a standard watch face that allowed the user to replace or exchange the band. Not sure why Timex did this (and the main reason for my 4 star rating). I am curious as to why this product (that lists for $125 dollars) is now widely available for $65-80 dollars, Perhaps Timex is simply realizing that the functions of the watch do not warrant the price. It is a cool concept and the inverse indigo lighting is also nice (the digits glow blue rather than the entire face when using the backlight). It's great that the watch functions after the Ipod has been placed in HOLD mode. I will try to update after the ski season, where I hope to use my new Ipod controller the most, on the slopes. One other slight downside is that my Ipod nano does not fit in any standard case that I have available with the transmitter unit attached to the docking port...

I just bought the T5K047 watch yesterday and after reading the listed first review: I will be returning the watch. Timex two words: replaceable wristband.
Consumers might want to opt for the Scosche iPod Wrist Remote (PLUS: 150 ft. range, compared to the paltry 10 ft. range in Timex, replaceable velcro strap, big buttons (good for mt. bikers sporting gloves). NEG: NOT for iPod video).
I was going to purchase the Scosche but I have the video(no cigar). In addition, I'll wait for the market to generate an all inclusive standard "ironman features" watch(stopwatch,timer etc.), plus iPod control, PLUS(a big one) heartrate monitor. Word has it MIO is coming out with one soon.
The whip cream, nuts and cherry would be a Bluetooth feature, but I doubt that a watch with those many features will come out soon.
Timex: Consider including a hard case when the receiver is not in use. That small (vital) piece of equip. can be prone to getting banged up or misplaced easily, considering you are targeting active lifestyles. Buh-bye.
An excellent Techno-Geek item May 16, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
This is an excellent item for the ipod. I'm using this with the 80GB classic and it works like a charm. The range is great and I haven't had any glitches, lack of reception or radio interference.
Keep in mind that the receiver is powered by the ipod, so when not in use, you'll want to remover the receiver so you don't drain your battery. It doesn't make a significant impact on play time when in use, but you will see your power drop if you just let it site for hours at a time.
All in all, a great product.
Plus the watch works well in that respect as well. It's easy to read, super bright when you need the light, and the alarm will actually wake me up. It's also sealed to 328 feet, so you don't have to worry about the weather or diving. Just don't use the buttons underwater.
I love that I don't have to worry about my ipod getting wet when roaming the streets of Seattle anymore. Keeping it in a jacket pocket or slot in my bag while controlling it via the watch works perfectly. I'd definitely recommend this.
 Using with the iPod Touch January 6, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Since I am a techno-geek, the more gadgets the better. When I upgraded from the "nano" to the "Touch," it meant that I would have to unlock the Touch screen in order to change volume, skip to the next song or pause playing. With this I can merely go to my watch and do those things without having to move the Touch from where it is. Since I exercise regularly, this is great since it means I don't have to take the iPod from my pocket or its holster to do those things.
In addition, the watch has those functions that people who exercise like. Namely, a chronometer, timers with lap functionality. And the plus is that the alarm is loud enough to awaken me in the morning.
