Leading Brits at London Marathon wear Timex TapScreen

The Timex Ironman 150-Lap Sleek TapScreen has proven a big hit since its launch with both recreational and elite athletes. In fact, the two leading European finishers at this year’s Virgin London Marathon were both sporting this stunning sports watch!

British runners Andrew Lemoncello and Andi Jones were the only European-born athletes to finish inside the top ten and both did so wearing their Timex Ironman 150-Lap Sleek with TapScreen technology.  

Tokyo-born Andrew produced a sensational debut performance over the marathon distance to finish in 8th position with Andi ending the race in 10th spot. The pair have both represented Great Britain at the Summer Olympics and Athletics World Championships and are amongst the most respected distance runners in the United Kingdom.

The Timex TapScreen collection provides a host of outstanding features including a built-in audible Target Time Pacer which provides continuous performance feedback. SportASSIST programmed Andrew and Andi’s target finish times into their watches to ensure that they were constantly aware of their race pace.

Athletes can also log split and lap times with a simple tap on the watch face thanks to the advanced TapScreen technology and the range also includes a detailed lap management system, 16 labelled interval timers and nutritional alarms to ensure athletes keep on top of their hydration and refuelling needs.

Combine this essential functionality with a stunning design and it’s no surprise that the Timex TapScreen collection is proving so popular. To find out more about the Timex Ironman range or place an order contact your account manager today.
