Stylish enough for the weekend warrior yet technical enough for serious athletes, the Timex Ironman Triathlon heart rate monitor (model T5F001) can be worn by both men and women. It features a chest strap heart rate monitor, large 3-line display for easy viewing of your workout data, and a full range of sport timing features. This watch features a silver face, durable black resin strap, and large buttons for easy access to timing functions. 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 also offers up to four linked interval timers, each with its own target zone, and a recovery timer that measures your heart rate after a timed recovery during or after your workout. Other features include:

• 5 interval timer workouts with warm-up and cool-down
• 100-hour chronograph with lap and split, either in large digits
• 100-lap memory with average heart rate per laps
• 100-hour, 3-mode countdown timer
• 5 alarms with daily/weekday/weekend options
• 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. 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.

"IronMan Watch review" 2010-04-29
By Rob L. Golden (Las Vegas, NV)
This watch is great. It has better buttons and controls than my previous IronMan model. The watch is very easy to use and the HeartRate Monitor is very easy to use. I would recommend it to anyone who is interested.

 

"Heart Rate Watch" 2010-02-14
By K. Fulton (Australia)
I purchased a Heart Rate Watch & Chest Strap for my husband for xmas 09. I ordered the watch approx 8-10 day before and it arrived within 4 days.
My husband loves the watch and it looks and works perfectly. The watch is used for intensive training and it seems to handle it well.
I would recommend this to anyone.
Amazon have been very quick with posting the item out. I searched for some time trying to find the cheapest and amazon couldn't be beaten on price. 

 

"great functions, low quality" 2009-12-30
By Sandro Fabres Viana (Rio Grande, RS Brazil)
The funtionality is really great. It is very easy to use and the sensor is quick reading; However, the batery last ony 20 hours, not the 800 like informed in the manual. I sent to the timex in my country, tehy tested and did't find any problem, but even so sent me another. What ahppened? 20 hours after the batery was dead. So, obviously it was built wiht low quality standards, because excessive energy consume is the mark of of low quality eletronics. Try another. I live in Brazil, so I need pay US300 for this trash! Yes, US300! 

 

"Another Timex Dud" 2009-11-22
By Dward (Boston)
This is my third Timex Ironman HRM and the last one I'll ever buy. I've previously bought the less expensive Timex HRM and found out they're not waterproof. Why should I expect water-resistant to 50m and being called a TRIATHLON watch (swim is part of triathlon I think) indicate I could rely on it to withstand a few swims and some sweating? Wrong! Both of my first two watches went down in a heap of water bubbles under the crystal after a few swims in the lake. Timex sent me replacements (for a 6$ surcharge): the first replacement worked for about 2wks then read my heart rate consistently at 249bpm; the second watch developed water droplets under the crystal after a few sweaty runs in the heat of summer.
But I like the look of the watch so I went for the upgrade - the T5F001. It is a fairly good watch and does essentially the bare basics of a running watch that I need EXCEPT when I run in the winter and require more than 2 layers on top. For some reason, the monitor is unable to pick up a signal through a few extra shirts. Once again, I'm left with a suboptimal HRM from Timex. My recommendation - go for the Suunto.
