Timex Ironman Innovations – iPod and Running Watch Combo and Other Smart Technology

Timex sports watches are designed for people looking to start jogging to improve their fitness as well as some of the highest level elite athletes, including marathon runners and those training to compete in the gruelling Ironman triathlon events. To achieve peak fitness, you can undoubtably imagine that there is a lot of training that is required to reach this level. In order to get into shape, the Timex Ironman watch provides you with the features that you need to keep track of your progress and maximize your performances. Since the early 1980’s when the Ironman watch was released, it has gone on to become the leading sports watch in terms of sales.

The Timex Ironman Triathlon watch contains features that you need to record and measure your performances at every step of the way. What’s more is that Timex have continued to push the boundaries of what technology can offer. Some of the modern Ironmans include support for heart rate monitor chest strap devices as well as solar panels that can recharge the lithium-ion battery from sunlight, to keep your Timex running longer without needing a battery change. Another popular power saving feature as well as the most famous upgrade is the INDIGLO illumination system that provides a brilliant backlight without incurring the power drain that other sports watches typically use.

One of the newest innovations is the iPod and running watch combo, the iControl Timex Ironman Triathlon watches. The iControl can communicated wirelessly with your iPod or iPhone when it is in airplane mode. Using special play and pause button that are positioned on the front of the iControl watch you can control the playback of your music collection and move forward and backwards through your playlist, all without having to physically touch a button on your iPod player.

It is innovations like the iControl that have kept the Ironman positioned as the top-selling sport watches for men and women. For those who are completely dedicated in their training, the Timex Ironman watches, provide you with the features that you need to measure your training and keep yourself on track to achieve your targets. With Timex’s commitment to durability, your Ironman watch will stand up to the rigor of competitive sporting performance and with the modern-day styles, the Ironman watches are also one of the most attractive watches for wearing in every day scenarios. As the old slogan goes, a Timex Ironman watch will “take a licking and keep on ticking” and this is no less true today than it was in the early 1980’s when the first Ironman watch hit the stores.
