Today is an Ironman Triathlon Shock kinda day I think. Doing yard work with my Dad and jumping in the pool later. This tough cookie is perfect for all of it. I like this model especially because it's got mineral glass and is extremely comfortable on the wrist.
Happy Father's Day fellas.

I love the look of this! Very tempted to buy one. What's you verdict Ben?

Of all the Ironman models that aren't almost 30 years old... this one has got to be my favorite. It fits as comfortably as the classic 30, but it solved both of the issues with a greater water resistance (200 instead of 100) and mineral glass instead of acrylic. The bezel is safely raised above the screen, but it doesn't add too much to heft or make it awkward... I love the simpler functions too. It only has 1 alarm... but it also forgoes the odd date occurrence function which really drags down the process of setting the time. It looks cool, feels cool, and you can count on it for anything.
