Q: The model is WR100m Ironman. I bought it at Kohl's three years ago. The group was broken yesterday. I wore it to Kohl's. They have bands like Timex mine.
A: Back to Kohls, ask a manager. If you buy the tape again, and it's a brand of watches they sell well, they have the skills and tools to do this, it takes literally 30 seconds to do, why would not they replace it for you ?
One side of the band accidentally came off when I turned the watch around my wrist, now I'm having a heck of a time putting it back on. Since the band doesn't attach with the spring-loaded bars of normal watchbands, does anyone know of a method to reattach
This is a great looking sports watch, and the light is really bright – it’s a white LED both at 12 o’clock and 6 o’clock, so it allows for nice visibility in low light. The stainless steel case is nicely polished and looks very sharp. This watch really looks more expensive than it is, and I’ve had people ask about it when wearing it. It’s an eye catching watch.
The MDV102-1AV is 200m water resistant, which means it can handle you going swimming, snorkeling, even some diving without much problem. This watch has a screw-down crown too, which makes it even more water resistant. The only thing to watch out for is washing the dishes, hot tubbing, or showering with it – warm/hot water isn’t great for watertight seals on watches. I’ve heard it can weaken the seals and cause a leak.
The little marlin on the watch is a great touch, and the face is very easy to read. The white markers contrast really well with the black dial, and even have a mirror-like edge to them, which makes the markers stand out even more. The offset date at 4 o’clock makes it look interesting, too.
My only disappointment was the band – it’s a hard rubbery band and not very comfortable. That’s why I took off one star from my rating. Aside from the band this watch really rocks! To solve that, I bought a Timex Expedition Adjustable 16-20mm watch strap TX977761L, Timex watchband, Fast – Wrap Expedition, 16-20mm, Black, Adjustable, Long. It’s for a Timex Expedition, so it says Timex on it, but it’s a great velcro strap that’s really easy to adjust and install on the Casio.
If you decide you want to change straps like me, just pop out the strap that comes with the Casio, pull out and save the little springs, then attach the Casio (using it’s springs) to the Timex strap. Took 3 minutes and I love the adjustable Timex strap, it’s very comfortable and dries out easily when it’s gotten wet.

If you are a multi-sport athlete, a heart rate monitor like the Garmin Forerunner 305 is a great choice. Apart from measuring your heart rate and calories burned, the Forerunner 305 has a courses feature that lets you compete against your previous workout by comparing heart rate and pace — a great way to see if you are improving. It also has a GPS feature that measures your pace and distance travelled. This is a good one for triathletes, who can switch between different sports without resetting the device. It also has a foot pod — a small device that can be attached to your shoe lace to measure speed and distance — that can transmit the distance and pace data to the heart rate monitor, which you can use if GPS reception is unavailable. Garmin has an online community with which you can interact to plan and analyse your workouts; the company also has a proprietary software that does the same job. The product comes
