Amazon.com Product Description
Whether training for a 10K race or exercising to lose some of that spare tire, the Timex T5C351 digital watch with integrated heart rate monitor will help you make the most of your training. Timekeeping features include a 100-hour stopwatch, 100-hour countdown timer, display of month/day/date and 24-hour clock, an alarm with 5-minute back-up, and a display with flipping system for easy reading. It also features a double-shot polyurethane strap, a battery life of 3 years, and water resistance to 50 meters. Heart rate monitoring features include target zones with optional alarms, 5 target zones based on maximum heartbeat, average/peak heart rate data, recovery rate timer, and calories burned. The comfortable heart rate sensor offers FM transmission for a clear signal around exercise equipment, synchronized transmission to prevent crosstalk with other heart rate monitors, and continuous readings even during the most intense activities. Comfortable and lightweight, it has an adjustable elastic chest strap and an owner replaceable battery with a 2-year battery life. 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.

 What a waste of $ April 26, 2009

I too have had trouble with the sensor finding my heart rate. And yes I have wet the sensors and moved it around and even tried it w/ different bras thinking they might be interfering with the way it sits on my torso - to no avail. It worked great for the 1st month or two, and then just stopped. I will be doubled over trying to catch my breath in a high intensity interval training session and the heart rate monitor reads my heart rate at 42! then out of no where it jumps up to 170 and at random can't find my heart rate again. there seems to be no correlation on what exercise i'm doing. Congrats to those who got one that works, but there seems to be just too high a percentage that you'll get one like the rest of us who got lemons. (i couldn't return it as i did not have a receipt - it was a gift).. I will get a Polar like everyone else I know and who have never had these issues.

I think the heart monitor from timex is an very good product for the price. The one thing I would change is the attachment of wrist band to time piece form rigid to flexible connection.
Timex Triathlon Digital Heart Rate Monitor Watch March 8, 2007

This watch/monitor is very nice and fairly easy to set up. The chest heart transmitter is comfortable and dependable. This unit is a must for people who work out or do heavy work to monitor your pulse rate. You can set up audible alerts if your heart beats too fast or too slow. The stand alone watch is comfortable and appealing for a sport watch. It features replaceable batteries in the watch and chest transmitter where as some other makes do not as I have been told by some of my work out friends.
 Great level of function at moderate cost January 29, 2007

This HRM comes in two flavors: A 30-lap model and a Fitness Model. They share most features, although the fitness model is perhaps more appropriate for users interested primarily in the HR functions. The 30-lap model is more for runners and also allows two time-zone monitoring. Both versions have backlighting; very convenient for night runs and other activities. I have a T5C351 F5 model (Fitness) manufactured in China, probably during the second half of 2006 and purchased in January 2007.
The unit comes with excellent documentation--two small booklets in idiomatic English with few if any typographical errors (also French and Spanish). The user interface is relatively straightforward for these kinds of sports watches. It is customizable for one user (you need to enter your weight and your approximate maximum HR).
Features I like: 1. Ability to display time and HR in varying formats, including Heart Rate Only in a large font (great for no-glasses runs). 2. Ability to accumulate basic HR data over a long period and provide a simple summary (mean, peak, percentage within user-defined HR zone). 3. Ability to display a 1 min HR difference (a rough measure of fitness). 4. Looks good on your wrist; just the right mix of high tech and function without looking too large or goofy, and the wrist strap is comfortable. 5. User replaceable batteries. 6. Reasonably large buttons that work well with gloves. 7. Great set of example uses in the manual that walk you through typical applications.
Regarding the chest strap (aka "fitness sensor"): It has given me accurate and consistent readings from the moment I put it on. The readout updates about as fast as it can; every 2 seconds when conditions demand.
The electrodes should be positioned under the pectoralis muscles. The center of the whole sensor should sit over the bottom of the sternum. I have mine set at the loosest possible setting, but even when moderately tight it is not uncomfortable. The sensor works well in the gym, either lifting weights or running on a threadmill. I have had no trouble in a shower with the unit. I am 6 ft and about 180 pounds, 37 inches around the chest at sensor level. For those of you with readout problems: moisture (water or saliva) on the ribbed sensor surface will help, and you can reposition the electrodes slightly on your chest. If it breaks, replacement sensors can be purchased at 1-800-448-4639, but I do not know the price.
Comparisons: I had planned to buy a high end Polar model, but could not find a local vendor. From what I can tell about virtually all HRMs (Nike, Timex, and the standard-bearer, Polar), they are not notably reliable. I wanted to be able to take it back to a local vendor if anything went wrong. The Polar sensor is reported to be the most comfortable, but this Timex sensor seems fine to me. The set of features that this HRM incorporates is probably just about right for a first-time or even a second-time HRM user. What the C351 lacks in comparison to high end units is a companion speed sensor (foot pod or GPS unit) and a computer interface. These are features the more serious HRM jocks will want to estimate power output. But they are also features associated with higher cost and that burden an HRM with larger size and greater complexity. Unless you are seriously competitive, have a very large wrist or a bit too much disposable income, or love the latest techno-toys, you should be plenty happy with the T5C351.
What about a "strapless" HRM? I had one of these toys years ago (I think it was a Casio). You put a finger on the watch/sensor and get a reading. There may be techology on the horizon that will re-revolutionize HRMs, but for the time being if you are serious about monitoring your HR continuously, you will want to get a system that comes with a sensor strap.
Companion Book: I have Total Heart Rate Training by Joe Friel. His comfortable style of writing and well-reasoned advice are easy to follow. This book is certainly good for newcomers to the use of HRMs, but it is intended primarily for atheletes in training. Friel would certainly recommend a higher-end unit that could handle power output and tempo (i.e., a top end Polar or Nike product with an accelerometer), but the T5C351 has the five exercise zones that he mentions built right in and also incorporates the Recovery Heart Rate measurement that he reviews. My plan is to use this Timex for phase I of my own fitness improvement regimen, and upgrade to a fancier HRM (whatever Polar comes out with to replace the aging 625SX) if and when I graduate to phase 2.
Good luck with your own HRM purchase(s).
