Non GPS watch thread. What's your favorite?

I have an ironman as well. I hate the fact that it is branded after that lame try-athlon though.

Most times I just run without a watch.

I like the Timex Sleek 150

Timex ironman is pretty good. When my mileage is 60 or below I use Garmin, above 60 I use timex.

Stainless Rolex Datejust.

Nike Triax Fury 100 Lap watch.

It is not made anymore, but the combination of function + form has not been matched.

When I'm doing pacing workouts taking splits every 200/400m is very helpful for post-workout review-hence my love of a 100 lap watch.

Plus, it had this "Target Time" feature that could be custom programmed. I made some great tempo workouts on roads and trails.

Beautiful watch. Almost tempted to buy another on ebay for $100+.

I saw the old Timex 1994 100-lap mentioned in other threads. What's the model number for that one? I heard the newer ones aren't as good. They have a 250-lap now, but it's touchscreen, which I don't care for.

Timex Ironman 30 Lap Oversize. It can't be beat. I have about 6 or 7 of them that I won by beating hobby joggers at the local fun runs.

I carry the cronus with me on my runs. I like the lighted display for night running.

Seiko super runners 120 lap memory. Two interval timers so I can time the rep and then the recovery. Robust, light. It has pretty much all I need in a runner's watch.

How does the two interval thing work?

I had a Nike, think it was part of the Triax line. The face was elongated and curved to fit your risk. It was beautiful and I alway received comments on it. (I think Paula used one). Had your basic stopwatch functions.Unfortunately, it lasted only a couple of years, as once the band broke it could not be fixed, so it sits in my drawer.

That is the most common complaint I've heard about Nike Triax watches. They look beautiful but the band commonly breaks off. I know people with several Nike Triax watches just sitting in drawers with broken bands.

This is the best sport watch ever made. So intuitive you understand how it workd in 10 seconds. You push da one button it starts. Da other button, it stops. Push da button, it starts again. You get splits by pushing da button den pushing da udder button. See? Velcro strap.

If you already know where you're going and where you've been, this is the watch for you.

You can get it at Walmart. $10-15. No one knows what brand it is because some Chinese factory has been selling them to Walmart unbranded for decades. Don't try to get it online. It's not listed there. I've had this watch for over 20 years. When da battery runs out, you just buy another watch. Simple. See?

I just got a 10lap timex ironman. Beautiful. Light, and somehow it has 30 lap recall on the laps! I got the 10lap because it is slimmer and lighter.

What's your favorite non-GPS watch for running.

I still have my Garmin, but for some races under heavy canopy, a GPS is a pain in the neck.

For most of my runs I don't wear a watch anymore. I've rediscovered a sense of liberty I had long forgotten.
