Timex iControl

The iControl watch of Timex is definitely as tough as it looks. First of all, it is available in a water-resistant casing, it sports indiglo backlighting, and works well with your iPod. The dongle gives you the ability to control the volume, track, and play and pause functions of your pod. Like other sports watches, it still sports the usual alarm, chrono, recall, and interval timer modes.

Aside from that, you’ll realize that the iControl watch transmits signals seamlessly to your iPod. You can simply control your music in a heartbeat because everything has been designed within easy reach. You don’t even need to look down and stop midstride to make your pod respond to whatever it is you want to do. You can control functions such as play and pause, track forward and back, and volume up and down. The chronograph training log stores workouts by date, with best lap, average lap, and total segment time. If you want to split or lap in large digits, there’s the 100-hour chronograph. View as many as 50 laps when you access its memory.

Moreover, the total run format and synchro timer maintains total activity timers settable up to 24 hours. This includes the countdown and stop, as well as countdown and repeat. There are 3 customizable alarms the watch come with: daily, weekly, weekend, and weekly options. You can also time your runs and control the duration of your workout. Most importantly, the watch is lightweight but is designed with durable resin strap that is extra strong to make sure it lasts long.
