Timex Ironman Triathlon 30 Lap Men's Sports Watch
Skip or contact Timex directly, waterproof sports watches commonly use PFAS-based water-repellent coating, brand silent on composition.
The Ironman is marketed as waterproof and durable, features typical of sports watches treated with water-resistant coatings that historically rely on PFAS. Timex discloses nothing about PFAS in publicly available product specs. No third-party testing or PFAS-free certification is evident. Contact the brand if PFAS avoidance is a priority.

What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 45% confidence. It is not a lab result.
No independent PFAS lab test is on record for this exact product. A lab test could move the score in either direction.
The brand has not made a specific, verifiable PFAS-free statement, so part of this score reflects that missing disclosure rather than a confirmed material.
Formulations and coatings change between production runs. Always check the current label before buying.
