My new TIMEX watch

I’ve been eyeing on Timex watch for quite some time, especially their ironman series. (though I already own one of their adventure series) I thought that would be useful for my training sessions and races. After browsing through the Timex website, I’ve narrow down into 2 from the series, the ironman 30-lap and 50-lap series.

Timex Ironman 50-Lap Full

From their website, their listed price is $50 and $60 respectively. So I started to check out what’s the market price in Malaysia and Singapore. They aren’t exactly cheap as I found out that the selling price is twice the price listed on the website. which is about RM250 for 30-lap series and RM300 for 50-lap series. That’s kinda ripped-off.

Just happened recently, I got to know that one of my friends, an American, is going back to the States for Christmas, I thought I could get her to buy me the watch with a much cheaper price.

Then finally, she’s back with this today…

The best thing is, it’s even cheaper than their listed price on the website. It’s only $34.99, which helped me saved up to $15.01. After conversion, the price I paid for this watch works out to be only RM120. Woohoo!
