I’ve recently purchased a new Timex Ironman. The old one – about a year and a half old, gave up the ghost. I thought I’d send it in for service, but in the meantime decided to buy another to use to track laps, time cardio time, and – what was the other thing? – show up places on time.

The printed instructions which came with the watch are tiny, and cram many languages into one sheet. Not readable. (No microscope available).

. After nearly an hour – I was able to read enough of the oddly-formatted Acrobat file to set the time. (took printing at least six overlapping sheets). I’m not sure I’m man enough to try to learn the rest of the watch’s functions.
