TSP6: The Timex Triathlon Watch

Written By Ross

Today I’m going to talk about a  piece of equipment that was super-important to me in the 1980s. The Timex Triathlon watch. I remember buying my first one from Argos in Slough. Maybe in 1985 or 1986. 

It really was a technological leap forward at the time. You could store lap times and the buttons were easy to see and press. Features you only previously got on classic hand-held stopwatches.

So here’s a bit more about the history of the device and my plans to go back to using one with a pen and paper training diary in 2023.
