Timex Sports Ironman Triathlon 100-Lap 66801 Wristwatch Logo

Timex Ironman My watch has frozen up. None of the buttons work. It happened when I stopped the chronograph at the end of a race. I don't think the battery is dead because the display is flashing. Any ideas?

    I have the old Timex Triathlon 8-lap Indiglo watch with the two start and stop buttons on the face. My chronograph started to act wonky and further usage of it caused the clock to reset to 12:00:00 1/1 and freeze. I held down all five buttons on the watch for about 10-15 seconds. The display quickly flashed and the clock started! This advice works!

    You're right. This worked. Nice!

    Alright, I had the same problem and held all five buttons in. Now my watch is blank. There is no display. What now?

    It works!!! One thousand times THANK YOU!!! Why on Earth Timex does not post this solution on its website if it is a common problem?

    Thanks--the all 5 buttons worked for me too (though it took me a minute to figure out how to do that!). :)

Ironman Timex what time should I change day and date

Hello Norma,

As a matter of...

INTERNATIONAL time standard indicates the time always
changes BETWEEN 1 & 2 am...

General CLOCK-WORK standards HIGHLY recommend
MECHANICAL timers, clocks chronometers & chronographs
always ONLY be advanced... (or stopped)...!!

NEVER ever TURNED BACKWARDS

Hello , I own a timex iron man triatholon model no t5g691 , the problem is none of the buttons work . they only work when I press them all together to turn it off . I also went recently swimming with it...

this problem occur only if one of the buttons are stuck inside, because you cannot push two or more buttons at the same time unless that you have to reset the watch. 2nd probably the buttons of your watch didnot reached the contact inside, sometimes it needed to be cleaned and had to be lubricated. if still did not work. reset your watch using the reset button inside the watch. i hope this will help you a lot.

Go the the Timex web site "timex .com"

Go to the bottom of the page and you can just make out "product instructions and downloads", select this and then select "product manuals"

Choose your watch......

How can i recall multiple laps during a run?

The Timex Ironman 30 Lap also has a stopwatch that can be used to keep track of split times for racing sports like running or cycling. Press the "Mode" button until the display shows "Chrono," then press and hold the "Set/Recall" button. To start the timer, press the "Start/Split" button. It will continue to run even if you exit to another mode. Pressing the "Stop/Reset" button will stop the chronograph. To record a split time, press the "Start/Split" button again while the timer is running. To see your split times, press the "Set/Recall" button while the watch is in Chrono mode. You can then scroll through the various splits with the plus and minus keys. Press "Set/Recall" again to exit display mode and return to the timer.

How do tou reset the review function on a timex 30 lap ironman triathlon?

Yeah...it took me awhile to figure this one out too.

You can't actually reset the Review function back to zero. Instead, you replace the data with your latest workout.

Here are the steps:
1) turn on heart rate monitor
2) setup HRM zone
3) start chronograph
4) do your workout
5) stop chronograph
6) review your results

Starting the chronograph is the key. This is the step I missed
