Summary: Worst Purchase EVER!
Comment: This watch was ridiculous! I tried 4 different times to get this watch to work on long runs. Only once did I get the GPS to connect to the watch. I thought for $165 I could get a decent alternative to the Garmin - I was wrong. I have returned the watch, which is a WHOLE story in itself. I still haven't gotten credited for the return after 2 ½ weeks. I called Jomashop, which Amazon outsourcers to and after sitting on hold for 20 minutes was told I would get my refund maybe in a week. Hum.............Not a great shopping experience.

Summary: Great product!
Comment: I've had the Timex Body Link for 3 year and absolutely love it! Using the heart rate monitor & GPS is very simple, all you have to do is turn them on push the red display button and they start working. There are also a number of different display settings for enthusiasts to customize.
The watch comes with a heart rate monitor (chest strap) and a GPS piece. The GPS comes with a arm band and belt clip accessories. This is not a watch with GPS built in like Garmin watches.
Timex also sells a data recorder that works with the Body Link system, but I would not buy it again since the software that comes with it is pretty worthless. Besides, most of the information you would want to track can be stored in the watch and written down later.
Pros:
- Easy to get started with
- 100 lap memory
- Loads of different display modes
- Reasonably small compared to other GPS watches
- Great price
- Heart rate recovery timer
Cons:
- GPS needs a lot of "open" sky to work properly, if you plan on running on forest trails or in the city with a lot of high rise buildings the GPS can't lock on to enough satellites.

Summary: Excellent product
Comment: Really a great combo with the heart rate monitor. It's very accurate and makes working out more enjoyable. Knowing how far and fast you have gone provides motivation to do even better the next time. Technically, a very good product but also great for making you work harder.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Read instructions
Comment: Disregard the first review. You need to stand still for about 30 seconds and the GPS will link. If you move around a lot, such as walking, it will have trouble linking. Recommendation is to read the instructions.

Summary: Works Sometimes
Comment: During my lunch period I like to walk 2 to 3 miles. It takes the sensor, device located on my hip, about 1/2 mile before it finally kicks in even if I should change the sensor battery. Once it kicks in it works great, monitors the distance and speed of my walk. I'am disappointed in the inconsistant operation of this device.
