Customer Rating:      Summary: As a watch, fine....as a heart rate monitor, a total failure Comment: I've switched it out several times and still found that the heart rate monitor jumps up to 220+ bpm regardless of what I am or am not doing. The company suggested hitting the reset button in the chest strap but that didn't work either. If you want a watch, it's fine, but it has been completely inconsistent as a heart rate monitor. I am looking for a new one now.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Accurate, useable, and attractive Comment: This HRM is a great little tool- it's pretty accurate as long as you keep the electrode moist, the user interface is reasonably navigable, and the watch is actually the same size as a regular watch (unlike many HRMs which are HUGE). It's an easy way to monitor the intensity of your workouts. Also quite waterproof- I've worn it in the pool while working out. It's not as accurate in the water, but it survived prolonged immersion just fine. The soft chest strap is pretty comfortable, and the small size of the watch while maintaining the readability of the numbers on the face make this a great product.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Great piece of technology..! Comment: I'm not the professional runner or anything, but this watch has worked perfectly for me. For starters, the design is pretty and the size is perfect. I spend a lot of time searching for a watch that worked, and that also looked nice-most of these watches are made for men and are really bulky and ugly..
And for the heart rate monitor part, the signal is great, it has useful fuctions (chrono, alarm, review workout and recovey time) and I think is very accurate.
Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase, and know I can enjoy my workouts monitoring my heart so I can take the most out of it.
Thank you Timex! :)
Customer Rating:      Summary: Great product, especially given the price. Comment: I researched multiple heart rate monitors but didn't want to spend a lot of money. I wanted a simple tool that could serve as my daily watch when not being used as a HRM. The Timex that I purchased fit the bill and I'm happy to report it has proven to be reliable and easy to use. I agree with a couple of the reviews I read before purchasing the watch that it definitely was made with a women's wrist in mind.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Ironman Watch Rocks Comment: This watch is the best fairly inexpensive heart rate monitor I have had. Not only does it keep accurate records, it stores both lap information and heart rate information for you to be able to record after your workout. Even when I am not using the heart rate monitor this watch has been awesome.
