It features a chest strap heart rate monitor, easily accessible function buttons, durable resin case, and comfortable resin strap with a stylish tapered profile. For integrating heart rate monitoring into your training, this watch enables you to track your avareage heart rate and pre-set target heart rate zones with data for time spent within that zone and alarms. It can also display data for calories burned and offers a recovery timer that measures your heart rate after a timed recovery during or after your workout. Sport timing features include:
- 100-hour chronograph with lap and split, either in large digits
- 27-lap memory with average heart rate per laps
- 100-hour countdown timer

The Indiglo night-light uniformly lights the surface of the watch dial using patented blue electroluminescent lighting technology. It uses less battery power than most other watch illumination systems, enabling your watch battery to last longer. The Night Mode feature allows you to illuminate the Indiglo night-light for 3 seconds with any button press, regardless of the mode or function. The watch is water resistant to 50 meters (165 feet)--suitable for swimming but not for diving. All Timex heart rate monitor sensors have batteries that can be replaced by consumers without requiring them to be returned to the manufacturer.

As far as HRMs go, this is probably one of the better ones. The strap is comfortable, it is easy to use, and is a good way to start interval training. One reviewer claims to go through batteries like crazy, I have not found this. If you are considering learning your heart rate while working out, get a watch like this one with the strap, then you won't have to stop your workout to see your heart rate. My only issue is now I want to log my workouts and save them to a computer so I will have to upgrade!

I owned a Timex HRM before this one and it lasted a full three years being used 3 or 4 times a week. The sensor strap cracked and the sensor was shorted out. I didn't hesitate to buy a second Timex this time around (unlike Polar and Suunto, you cannot just buy a replacement sensor). Women may find the chest strap sensor uncomfortable to wear and should take a look at Polar which has a soft fabric sensor strap which may help. I am very satisfied with the performance and features and the price makes it an excellent value. To get similar features in Polar or Suunto you have to spend 2-3 times as much.

Been use it for about a month now, have everything that I needed for a heart rate monitor, very good!
only complain I have is that you have to manually reset the timer in order to start a new session recording. If you forget to reset it and already pressed the HR button you are not gonna get the data for this session, unless you remove the chest strap and start over again.

I bought this about a year ago and have used it consistently during that year. I teach at least five Spin classes a week. I use both the timer function and the heart rate monitor. The battery in my chest strap lasted a year. Unfortunately there is no battery indicator so I started class and switched on my heart rate monitor. After it failed to find my heart rate several times, I realized that the battery must be dead.
I am very pleased with this product. I am not a sophisticated user and I found this monitor easy to set up and use. Unless you've had a VO Max test, remember that this is just a rough guideline of your performance (for example, I've had mine read 115%). The chest strap is comfortable, especially if you can tuck it under something like a sports bra so it doesn't feel like it's slipping.
Here are the cons: there is no way to shut off the heart rate monitor. Even if you remove the chest strap, the watch continues to try to read your pulse and will continue to provide a reading (16% an hour after I've stopped). Readings after removing the chest strap does make me wonder how much interference I'm getting and how accurate the readings are but again, I just use this as a general guide.
When I work with kettlebells, sometimes the buttons get bumped and the watch switches to the secondary time setting or my timer starts. There are a lot of functions on this watch that I don't use and I would sacrifice some of those functions for buttons that aren't so easily activated.

This is the 3rd heart rate watch I've bought, I had a Polar and a Nike, the Polar was great, very, very easy to use, the Nike was rubbish, and this one was supposed to be the best---but its very difficult to use (I mean anything besides the heart rate part)---recording workouts, the interface, and calories burned--are not clear. I still have not found out how to see Calories burned, and there is no indication of how to see calories burned in the instruction manual--even though it says that it calculates calories burned on the box and in the description.
As a heart rate monitor--it is very accurate, but for everything else it suffers with a poor, confusing interface--I don't even bother wearing it!
