 Exceeds ExpectationsFeb 07, 2008
By Chuck
I purchased this watch to replace an older Polar heart rate monitor with dead batteries in the chest strap and the monitor. The design of that product required me to send both units in for replacement by a Polar service center. The cost was nearly as much as the cost of this timex heart rate monitor.
I am so pleased with this product. The instructon manual was clearly written and easy to understand. There are just enough functions for me without loading the product up with things I will never use. That makes using it simple and I can remember how to use it without having to refresh my memory by repeatedly rereading the manual.
The monitor is an excellent watch when not using the heart rate features. Best of all I can change the batteries myself when the time comes without sending the thing off in the mail to a service center.
On top of all that the price was reasonable. This is one of those few purchases that exceeded my expectations because everything that it does, it does a little bit better than I had hoped for.

Very nice... good little training tool and toyMar 04, 2008
By Vertigo
I bought this HRM to help me as I began a training program, and decided on this one rather than a Polar monitor because it was cheaper and because it was a Timex. It was easy to use out of the box (I ran later that day); I set the time and after fiddling a little with the buttons I was able to use the timer and HRM functions.
The chest strap is snug and comfortable; the watch is unisex but for women with tiny wrists it might be a bit too loose; I myself wear it the tightest possible setting.
Aesthetically it looks great. It's not something that I personally would go around wearing all the time, but it's easy to read and the buttons are easy to use. The indigo is not ideal for when I'm running on the street in the evening since it lights up the numbers rather than the whole face of the watch, but this is a tiny issue.
Overall, fantastic product, and I'm so glad that something this well-featured is availiable at such a competitive price from Timex.

 Battery HungryAug 30, 2008
By Kambiz1
1. The product does everything that it claims to do.
2. The watch looks nice enough to wear all the time as your main watch.
3. The strap that needs to be used to send your heart beats is comfortable.
4. You can learn the HRM quickly if you fool around with it a little bit. If you are a computer nerd, you will learn it in less that one hour.
5. The only thing negative is that it uses batteries like crazy. I have to use a new battery every week and that costs $5. There is no shut off botton on the transmitter so it is constantly on and the battery drains.

Too many things rolled in.....Jan 17, 2010
By Anil Bakshi
"Anil"
Good.
1.Improved elastic band and toggle lock.
2.Coded digital transmitter, reduces interference,
(May not work with gym machines as most of these still are analogue receivers.)
3. Transmitter battery can be changed by user, costs $ 2.00
4. Watch battery can be changed at Sears Jewellery, less than $ 15.00
Bad.
1.Gimmicky. Too many modes. Just about figured it out.
2.The booklet describes all functions first and HRM set up last.
3. If above XL male, the HRM strap may be short, loose elasticity due over stretch.
Timex T5G971, which I lost, is better because:-
1.Simple On/Off switch to start recording also handles the audio alerts.
2.Recall and Recovery buttons at 7 o' clock and 5 o'clock positions. Self explanatory functions.
3.T56971 shows current BPM, records time of activity, max/min pulse, average pulse, time in zone, recovery rate, cals burnt, corrected for age, weight, gender.
I recommend T5G971, also it is analogue, costs $ 20 less, have used for 18 months, being non digital transmitter, works with most gym machines as of today.

great product and functionalityJul 06, 2008
By Southern Train
This is an elementary and reliable heart rate monitor. It is easy to use and durable. I have used it since February and now routinely wear it for all exercise. The watch has a stop watch, lap timer, alarm, hrm, calorie counter, max/min/ and average heart rate counter and tracks where you are in desired heart rate zone. This is a terrific product --works well and does just what it is supposed to do. I'd recommend buying a spare battery for the chest transmitter; it wore out after about 50 hours of exercise use.
