I did a search but didn't come up with any help

Newbie 60 y/o looking for suggestion on larger face and easier to read watch for swimming and running capable of splits /laps  similar to Timex Tri but easier to read (old age eyes are not what the used to be !!!)

Same question for my bike computer or one that displays multiple functions at once Time out,speed,distance ,etc

Thanks

I don't have a suggestion for the watch. I like my Timex Ironman 50 lap watch and so I've not done any shopping.

There are so many cyclocomputer options!  Have you checked out the trisports.com site?  They have good pictures of the computer interface:

I have purchased many good bike computers over time, just by going to the bike shop and looking at what they have.  Good luck!

I have a Timex Ironman 150 lap watch that has ridiculously large numbers.

It's a lot like their smaller 50 lap version, just bigger...

I found this one on Amazon though it says unavailable:

With some internet searching you might be able to track one down.  The numbers are HUGE.

If you've got the cash to burn, check out watches for eventers (horseback riding). Nothing like needing to see your time with your watch out at arms length while galloping to a jump...

The above site generally has somewhat higher prices, unless they are running a sale. Amusingly enough, they are also selling the Timex Ironman GPS.
