Since you love your Mom and want to keep her around a long time, why not give a gift that promotes health, fitness and … timeliness? Yep. Timex makes smart watches designed for fitness training; runners, cyclists, walkers and more. Timex partnered with Ironman to create sleek, ladylike watches appropriate for the fittest women on the planet. I have one, and love it so much I plan to give one to my Mom for Mothers’ Day. I think it’d be a great gift, cause a smart watch is not only useful for workouts … it’s useful all the time! Timex offers quite a few options, so I’ve listed their detailed description below.
- Distinguished by its slender stainless steel top ring, chic silicon strap and adaptable color palette, the Timex Ironman All Day 50-Lap collection offers an array of essential sports timing features – including chronograph, interval timers and a training log – within an elegantly contemporary presentation that is fit for any social or professional setting. Available in plum, black or white, the collection is water resistant to 100 meters and boasts an INDIGLO® night-light for easy viewing in dark conditions. It features a wide range of sports timing functions, including: 50-lap memory recall for workout review; chronograph training log that stores workouts by date; 99-lap counter; two interval timers; three customizable alarms; two time zone to stay on track while travelling; built-in reminders to quickly and easily set the watch, and replaceable silicon strap. The collection is currently available at Sports Specialty retailers worldwide and on Timex.com, priced at $64.95
- The Timex Health Touch contact heart rate monitor is an easy-to-use heart rate monitor that conveniently offers precise heart rate readings on the wrist with a simple fingertip touch, without the need for a chest sensor. It boasts a number of useful features, including on-demand heart rate, a target zone with heart rate alert, and calories burned. Designed for fitness walkers and gym-goers, the watch also includes a stopwatch, countdown timer, daily alarms, water resistance to 50 meters and INDIGLO® night-light. Available with a stainless steel top ring in a men’s grey case and a women’s black case, the Timex Health Touch contact heart rate monitor is currently available at Sports Specialty retailers worldwide and on Timex.com priced at $59.95.
- The Timex® Ironman® Sleek™ 150-Lap watch with TapScreen™ Technology is a revolutionary collection of precision sports timing instruments that conveniently responds to an athlete’s touch. The innovative collection’s three signature elements – TapScreen Technology, Target time pacer, and Labeled interval timers – are designed to enhance performance by allowing athletes to focus less on managing their sports watch during workouts. The collection’s revolutionary TapScreen™ Technology allows users to easily activate the lap feature by “tapping” anywhere on the timepiece’s face, rather than having to locate and push buttons mid-stride. The Target time pacer delivers distinct audible alerts, indicating audibly if the runner is on pace, slow or fast, in addition to displaying the time ahead or behind pace. Its16 interval timers are labeled with intuitive names such as warm, slow, med, fast and cool, making complex interval workouts automatic and effortless. The collection’s strong, modern design is engineered to optimize style, ease-of-use and comfort. The watch face features a large-digit display and curved lens for easy viewing and tapping, and the durable, muscle-lined strap minimizes skin contact and optimizes ventilation during strenuous activity. The collection is currently available at sports stores around the world and at Timex.com, priced at $89.95
