IWIS are good chains, but you still have to worry about stopping them rusting.

Modern X or O ring chains don't have lubrication issues, they only have corrosion issues.

The Timken chains have a new super hard coating to help with wear and also protects against corrosion so that it is unnecessary to squirt oil or whatever on them to stop them rusting which in turn means that (providing the sprockets are cleaned when the chain is changed), grit doesn't stick to the chain which means greatly reduced sprocket wear.
