I replaced the Ironman watch I purchased about six years ago after the band broke with this newer one. I bought another Ironman hoping for another five or six years. This one comes with a completely rubber watch band. Very uncomfortable and tough to get the end of the band into the loop. It tends to stick to my arm. The face seems smaller too. Almost looks unisex. I was disappointed because I almost can't discern between it and a female watch. The price was right and I bought it because all of the functions are identical to my old one. It's just not comfortable and I don't care for the looks of it.
