It looks better than a Polar, is lighter and more user-friendly system, it is very easy to program. Excellent condition. I had a Polar and had trouble because he broke in 2 occasions, also lost its original color.

I love it. I got it sooner then they said I would. Great service and an outstanding product. I use it 5 days a week. It is accurate and dependable. Highly recommend this Timex HRM and the supplier.
 Triathlon name is misnomer - but good monitor otherwise October 13, 2009

The watch has "Triathlon" below the Ironman label, and the manual states it is a triathlon training tool. However, this monitor will not work while swimming. It is an excellent tool for cycling and running, and the review mode is very helpful in recording workout information. I called Timex when the heart rate monitor failed to function in the pool after re-reading the manual to see if the problem could be pilot error. Instead, Timex warranty personnel told me the watch did not work while swimming and was not intended to and there was nothing they could do about the problem. (Not very courteous in providing that information as well.) He also added none of the monitors will work in water. This is incorrect as Polar monitors work quite well while swimming. At the advertised price on Amazon, this is a very good value, and if you don't need it for swimming, it is very good. I bought the monitor specifically for cycling and swimming, and I still considered keeping it because the other features of the watch are excellent.
 Excellent HRM October 12, 2009

Purchased one of these guys (w/o the USB data transfer device) about a month ago and am really loving it. It's very easy to use, accurate, and really helps you make sure you're working in the zones that you intend. I use it for doing HIIT intervals and it's great...and fun as well to see how your body adapts and becomes more fit over time. This watch has all the basic features and the fact that you don't have to send the chest belt back to the factory to change the battery (like you do with the Polar watches) is a plus. The only two things that I would like a bit different that warrant 4 stars, instead of 5, are that the buttons are not always as smooth as I'd like and tend to grab a bit. Also, I wish the watch just had a straight stopwatch in addition to the chronograph. Overall, a good HRM though.
Easy to use heart beat rate monitor October 5, 2009
Frenky Palit
It's very easy to use. If you just want to see and monitor your heart bit rate, without any alarm, limit etc, this things is very simple to use.
Going further takes some reading of the manual; setting of zone 1-5, or manual limit, alarm, weigh etc.
Wearing this does improve your work out in terms of;
- you can pace your work out more methodically
- you have measurable target for your work out
- barring some hiccups (mentioned below), you can review your work out
- the above normally can be done on tread mill machine only. you get benefit of "measures" tread mill while doing your work out on the read
- overall this gives better motivation on each of your work out.
Draw back;
- I learnt that once in a while during the exercise, communication between sensor and the watch got disconnected. The low limit alarm buzzed off bpm <90 in the midst of my heavy workout (or else I must have been dead :). This in spite of sensor properly moisturized and sweat. After a while the bpm count will come back to where it should.
- hence when this happens the "review" mode will not reflect the actual work out.
- label prints on the watch is too small. you have to read manual to guess what's printed there.
