The Ironman Flix is $90 (And It Won’t Check Your Email)
The Huckberry x Timex Ironman Flix is down to $90. It’s a rugged, distraction-free throwback to an era when sport watches just told time and tracked laps.
There is a specific kind of fatigue that comes with modern tracking. I love data—obviously—but sometimes I don't need my wrist buzzing me about a Slack message when I'm trying to clear my head on a trail run. This Huckberry x Timex Ironman Flix reissue scratches a very specific itch for "dumb" technology. It is distinctly late-90s in design, but the olive-drab and black colorway makes it feel less like a retro toy and more like legitimate field gear. It reminds me of the equipment I grew up with: simple, practically indestructible, and completely disconnected from the internet.
It’s currently marked down to $90 (from $129), which puts it firmly in the territory of a reliable "beater" watch you don't have to baby. It offers pure utility—timing, laps, alarms—without the cognitive load of a smartwatch. Sometimes the best upgrade you can make to your workout is just removing the noise.
The Specs That Matter
- Indiglo Night-Light: It uses the "Flix" system, meaning a flick of the wrist activates the backlight. Indispensable for pre-dawn starts or camping trips.
- 100-Lap Memory: It stores enough split data for a serious interval session, but won't upload it to the cloud. I find that refreshing.
- 42mm Resin Case: It’s lightweight (approx 45g) and sits low (12mm), so it doesn't get snagged on backpack straps or jacket cuffs.
