decent watch, disposable band
The watch is of good quality, keeps time well, and keeps functioning despite my abuse to it.
However, the band will "skunk" like a gym sock after a few weeks. I have had three of these watches, and the original bands last about 3 months.
The watches are pretty good if you are willing to invest the time to replace the bands with plastic or rubber replacement straps.
I bought a 4$ rubber strap to replace the cloth when it fails, and the rubber strap will last about a year...

Honest Review
It is amazing that you can get such rugged dependability for this price. I am now buying my second Casio Forester only beacuse I am EXTREAMLY hard on wrist watches. Do not hesitate to buy this watch.

We use this as our official team watch!
I have had one of these for over three years that has included high heat (105) and humidity, extreme dirt/sand and direct exposure to rain and a bicycle ride that ended in a crash! It has the original battery and has been running great since I've had it. Because of this, it is now the official timepeice of the Big Hopper Project team!

Outstanding buy
I found this watch to be an outstanding value. I always enjoy getting maximum value for my money. As a senior citizen on fixed income this is important. This watch looks good, is very readable and with the velcro band is as comfortable as an expansion band. Had tried a G-shock but found it too big/cumbersome. The Forester model by Casio is a best-buy in my opinion.

Long-lasting and rugged
I received this watch as a Christmas present in 2004. The time of this writing is September 2007, and the watch is not only still running, it has the original battery! I've never had a watch that lasted this long on one battery. It has also survived without any major scratches or any other damage, despite the fact I wear it constantly while working in a warehouse. Easy to read, as well. A good, comfortable, rugged watch.

Ironman Triathlon Sports Watch
This was a gift for my husband for our vacation out hiking at the Grand Canyon. The watch was in perfect condition when it arrived and great casual watch. He loves the easy of using it. And it looks good on him as well. I would highly recommend this watch as a casual day to day watch.

Display is hard to read
Reviewing Timex 54571:
This is my second Timex Ironman. It has a nice feature set for the recreational/fitness runner: light, compact, and the top button for starting/splits is very convenient. The plastic strap is much better than the nylon/velcro strap on my previous watch, which had to be washed regularly because it absorbed perspiration.
Unfortunately I can't recommend this version of the Ironman for runners because of the display, which has light gray numerals on a black background. It looks cool, but is very hard to read in dim light. Even in bright outdoor light, it takes a second longer to read than my old watch, and it gets annoying really fast.
Also, this version doesn't have some of the features of the newer models, like event alarms, and repeating timers.
Rating :   
Nice and practical
It is a nice looking and practical watch. It fits my basic needs for exercise and triathlon training. The watch is light-weight and water-tight. The functions are easy to access and clear to use. And the price is quite appropriate.

Took a licking even before it was first worn...
I ordered this watch as a Christmas present for my husband. A few days later, I noticed a package on the side of the road around the corner from our house while walking our dog. I was surprised when I looked closer and saw my name on the label. We had had a bad, windy storm that week and I guess that's how my package ended up squooshed and soaked on the side of the road. Though the box and plastic packaging were badly damaged, the watch was unscathed and still made a great present. My husband loves it. I've been using Ironman watches as my running watch of choice for years and have never had to do anything other than replace the battery. Great watch choice.

This precision digital compass with an extra-large digital display combines digital compass technology with popular watch features, to create a highly-function design for outdoor and everyday use. It's constructed with a stainless-steel bezel, engraved cardinal points, and an all day glow EL backlit display.
Customer Review :
Affordable compass watch great display
This watch seems well made & durable (something I was very surprised at for the price)! It is 5cm in diameter, quite large but not massively bulky. The display is just exceptional! Extremely readable large digits & even day, date & month viewable together (which is very rare). Despite it's compass function, I'd recommend this watch for anyone who has poor vision.
The compass seems to work well & is very easy to calibrate & set the declination. In compass mode, North is indicated by one of the LCD lines around the edge. The bearing is displayed where the date would usually be. Personally I'd have preferred 'compass mode' to have taken over the larger 'time' digits.
Display Color: That shocking vivid green pictured above (described as 'all day glow') is actually a highly reflective green filter on the LCD. At some angles it will appear to glow as in the above picture but usually it is a more subdued green, as pictured in the Silva version.
Branding: I've seen the Silva version advertised at over twice the price of this one. The Silva watch is often described as being 'Backed by Silva's 60 year outdoor heritage'. They are the same watch, obviously made by a Chinese company with a space left on the case for other companies to stick their brands.
Overall: Extremely pleased with this. I bought it more for the large exceptionally clear display than for the compass function. I tried out some of the Suunto models in a local store but surprisingly none seemed as nice a design as this.

Questions & Answers
Question : What are the best running shoes on the market?
I am trying to run along side or behind my daughter and son while they are in cross country. My question is what would be a good running shoe for me to purchase. I can't afford expensive shoes so please suggest something affordable.
Answer:
A lot of times it depends on the runner. I myself am kind of heavy (for a runner) and need lots of shock absorption. I found a great pair of Adidas at Costco and another pair at Fred Meyer. Only paid $35 per pair and they work great. I believe they were called the Adidas Super Cusion at Costco, and Mega Cusion at Fred Meyers.
Sometimes Roadrunnersports has a good sale, but personally I like to try them on.

Question : Where is a good place to buy running shoes in Taipei, Taiwan?
I am running in the marathon at Tarko Gorge in November. I need to pick up another pair of running shoes, but I have no idea where to go. I've been in Taiwan for 2 months so I know where to get shoes at night markets etc., but I need quality running shoes. It would be nice if there was a shoe or running specific store. It would also be nice if the store has people that speak English and could fit me for quality running shoes. Price is really not an issue.
Answer:
If you are wear it for the competition,don't but it at night markets.
You should buy it at department stores, sports wear store...etc.
In Taipei, go to Gongguan (公館) very close to Taiwan university, there are some sports wear shops there, price are resonable,quality is also good.
Every year from October in Taiwan, time for department store's on sale, buy everything ,they always has discount better than regular time.

Question : How to donate running shoes to people in Africa?
I want to get other kids in my school involved with a program that would send old (but still usuable) running shoes to less fortunate kids in poor countries. Does anybody know of a really good program to send the shoes to?
Answer:
Search second sole on google and email the web guy for the website and see if you can mail the shoes to the store there. Hopefully you live close to Cleveland Ohio. If not sorry but at least you have an option. I just know this running store has a box for shoes for kids in Africa.

Question : How to i pick my running shoes and clothes?
How to i pick my running shoes so that that are best for me? I want them to be safe and comfortable. What should i look for?
And how do i find good clothes to run in thatt are comfortable and good for running?
Answer:
http://www.runnersworld.com/article/0,7120,s6-240-319-326-7152-0,00.html
check out this link. it shows you what kind of arch you have, which means it is easier to pick the perfect shoe for you! If you need arch support, I pretty much suggest shoes from asics. they are very comfortable! if you are looking for clothing, then I suggest these for shorts:http://www.anacondasports.com/ProductDisplay/10551/10201/173434/173409/139411.htm
hope it helped!

Question : Are good running shoes supposed to make your feet feel like they are sticking to the ground?
I bought a pair of saucony running shoes today and when I tried them out on pavement it felt like every time i lifted my feet it took some effort to un-stick them from the ground. I found this kind of annoying so I took them off and debating returning them. Is this what all good running shoes should feel like?
Answer:
How odd, Saucony are generally known to be some of the best shoes for running, although I never wore any, having instead had experience with Asics and Nike.
If a running shoe is good you should, generally speaking, not notice it, that is it shouldn't be too heavy and it should ergonomically aid your running in a way that does not harm your joints, tendons and ligaments, and it sounds like this is not what this shoe is doing for you.
If you feel the shoe is defective absolutely do take it back.
But if you're not sure you may want to try to search for other user's experiences with that shoe, maybe the sole needs to be worn a little, but it does sound weird.
It might also help to know what Saucony model you have purchased.

Question : What type of running shoes would you recommend for a heavy person?
I pronate, and the guy at the runner store said that I need stability running shoes. I am also 6'4 220 with a low arch and big feet. What say you? Do i need stability or motion control. My current shoes are Nike Shox and they make my feet hurt very quickly.
Answer:
Try the Brooks Ghost or the Asics Gel Kayano. Both offer lots of cushion and support and are good if you over-pronate
Ghost:

Question : What are good running shoes for beginners?
Are there good running shoes at a reasonable price? Also what type of socks do I use? Any help is appreciated!
Answer:
I agree on Asics or Brooks. I used to wear adidas and Nike, but I've been wearing Asics for the last 3-4 years and I just bought by first pair of Brooks this year...what a difference. Much more comfortable! The best thing to do is go to a running shoe store and have them analyze your foot...they will fit you in a shoe designed for your foot type.

Question : Do good running shoes really make a difference?
I started jogging and i was wondering what are the benefits of getting good quality running shoes? Do they really make a big difference? If so, what's the difference between wearing them and regular tennis shoes?
Answer:
So im basicly giving you all he advice i have lol
have funn running
Well they matter in Cross country BIG time!! because we don'tt run on solid courses, it's always better to have a sturdy light weight running shoe i go to Academy for my shoes and equipment. good store =] some tenis shoes wont have an arch which is good to have when your running =] Um all of my friends really like then Nike but its to heavy for me so i dont i go with a really light weight shoe with a good arch. One of my friends counld only find spikes that were light weight so shes been running on spike shoes with out the spikes she says its the best shes ever ran in. Umm if you like running you should deffinetly try Cross Country its a great sport. and later on in the season definitly try track. It will work on your speed and Cross country will work on your distance. Eat right!!! thats a big important thing. and always remember to drink water all day long before you run! Always have that water bottle in hand! Dehidration sucks! and remember KEEP RUNNING dont stop to walk. it ruins your training. keep going and have goals set to where your mind will be focused on that spot not focused on pain or thirst.
uh thats it pretty much Keep Those Knees up!
