Timex Ironman T5C401 Unisex 30-Lap Digital Fitness Heart Rate Monitor Watch

This is my second time buying a Timex. Now is a gift ... but it is just perfect. Works well, light, good size. And this product just proved that the customer service from amazon.com is excellent.
When I received the box the clock was missing. I contact Amazon and they sent me again imitiately.
I was very pleased with my purchase and with my seller!

Easy to use. Definetly helps me to make for a more efficient work out. It even counts calories burned!

I like this HRM better than my polar one for a couple of reasons. One, since it is pretty much an ironman watch, I am familiar with what the watch part can do and two, it was easy to figure out without having to read a confusing manual. The only thing I wish it had was a softer chest band like my polar has but I don't really notice it all that much.

I bought this HRM so I can have a HRM and a countdown timer which is really important for me.

First off I have never trained with an HRM before. I went with the Timex because I have used the ironman line int he past for running and I enjoy the simple usability the device offers.

This ironman watch doesn't have the same reviews as the other Timex HRM offered for a similar price, but I like the appearance of the Ironman HRM and figured they must have the same guts...

I unboxed mine and was up and monitoring within 15 minutes. All you need to do is change the date/time, max hr and weight and the whole watch is good to go. Timex will pre-configure 5 training zones for you and there is a 6th manual mode as well. I found the HRM to be accurate out of the box with minimal water applied to the sensors.

On my first run I compared my walking HR between the timex and the treadmill hand sensors and they were exactly the same.

I will also say that the HR Chest Belt is much more comfy than I anticipated! Overall I'm very happy and have a good looking watch to boot.

This is the first heart rate monitor that I have used. So I really have nothing to compare it to. But it works exceptionally well for my purposes. I am traing to run in 2 x 1/2 marathons and 1 marathon. Being able to monitor my fitness has helped me acheive outstanding results. If you are looking for easy use and lightweight this is the one.

Have fun!
