Question:	Is this watch waterproof
Answer:	your best answer will be on the garmin website. https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/p/641375/pn/010-02157-23
Question:	Does this track elevation gain during your run

Question:	How does the strength & scratch resistance of garmin's power glass compare to sapphire and gorilla glass
Answer:	There is no charger. The battery has a shelf life of apx 1 year.
Question:	Which maps come with the fenix 6x pro? only north america or the entire world
Answer:	It did not come in the original package
Question:	Is the 6x Pro Solar Black model made of titanium and does it have a sapphire screen

Timex Ironman GPS

Just select your workout and start. Quickly connect to GPS for real-time pace, speed and distance. After your workout, upload and charge with the universal micro USB cable. Ready. Set. Go.

The Timex Ironman collection has been helping athletes cross finish lines since 1986, and we know that athletes want to do what they love, not stand around and push buttons, so we made it simpler without any compromise. There are no hassles or extra frills to get in the way of your run.

With multisport training functionality for running, swimming, and biking, plus a variety of metric displays, interval timers, and a race mode, this watch will help even the most advanced athletes complete their goals.

Simple Interface

Every day we are faced with the challenge of finding time in the day to workout. When you finally find time to get out and run, don’t waste your time figuring out how your GPS watch works. Timex Ironman GPS is as easy as 1,2,3.

Long GPS Battery Life

The Timex Ironman GPS packs a punch with its 12 hour GPS battery life. Long enough to get you through a long running event or to run multiple times without needing a charge. We are all bogged down charging multiple devices on a daily basis, so don’t let your GPS watch be one of those things.

Quick GPS Fix

How many times have you been pumped and ready to take off for your run, only to be stalled by your slowly connecting GPS watch? Don’t lag behind other runners because your GPS watch takes forever to find signal. The Timex Ironman GPS uses the latest antenna technology and satellite location assistance to get you out on the road and running before you lose the motivation. Now you can take off first and be the leader of the pack.

Universal Cable

Charging clips and cradles are the farthest thing from convenient. We’ve had enough of each device needing a proprietary cable and we are sure you feel the same way. Use a standard, universal micro USB cable to charge and transfer workouts from the Timex Ironman GPS. Each Timex Ironman GPS includes a micro USB cable. However, if you lose it, any spare micro USB cable will do the job. Now that's convenience!

Lightweight, Slim Design

We know how much you value a thin, lightweight watch. Timex Ironman GPS delivers on both of those needs while providing a 50-meter water-resistant case. No more sacrifice, we give you everything you want and need.

Advanced Training Features

Yes, we focused on making this watch as simple and easy as possible. However, we believe in your growth and know that in less than a year you will be achieving goals you never thought were possible. For that reason, we built in some advanced functions that we know you will love and use in the near future, such as customizable training pages, multisport timing functionality and pace alerts.

User questions & answers

Question:	has anyone found a replacement band
Answer:	If you can sew get some Velcro (non sticky back type) and make a strap for your leg, if for your hip, get a material type belt and sew some Velcro to it. Then buy some wide sticky back Velcro industrial type and stick it to the back of the mouse. You can buy both types on Amazon. My mouse kept falling of my easy chair so I got an armrest cover and put some Velcro on that and my mouse. Hope that helps.
Question:	Does it have heart rate
Answer:	Hi, the polling rate is 100hz for BT connection and 125hz for 2.4G nano dongle connection. Thank you for your question!
Question:	Does this watch have a large face or small one
Answer:	Hi, press DPI switch button and the red light LED indicator will flash. Flash once means DPI at 400; flash twice means dynamic DPI between 400 to 800, flash 3 times means dynamic DPI between 800 to 1500. Thank you for your question!

Answer:	The little diamonds in the middle of the various designs are definitely red.
Question:	Will the strap stay/come clean
Answer:	Hello. Typically, the Levy's XL straps are higher in price. They have a higher list price from the manufacturer due to the added material used in making the strap. Actual prices may vary by model and options chosen. It would be a completely separate model, with the '-XL' in the strap's item number (SKU). For example, this strap (MSSN80-RED) would be MSSN80-XL-RED for the extra-long version. You should search for this number, and if you need help finding it or ordering, you are welcome to contact us.
