Timex Heart Rate Monitors Category:
It is so much easier to keep track of my workout progress with the Timex T5J031 Unisex Digital Fitness Heart Rate Monitor Watch. This watch is brilliantly designed to fit all the essential functions and is equipped with helpful secondary features. I personally think that choosing a good heart monitor watch has everything to do with the two F’s: Function and Form.

Function wise, it enables heart monitoring and calorie count with additional features to enable you do so even while in water. Aesthetically, the sporty design suits both men and women, without being too bulky.
The first thing you’ll note about the Timex T5J031 Unisex Digital Fitness Heart Rate Monitor Watch is the simplicity in design, but do not underestimate this little device. The watch does more than just track your average heart rate; it also displays data for calories burned after a particular workout. With it, I can pre-set target heart rate zones to find out time spent within that zone and measure my heart rate after a timed recovery to find out my progress.
The other features I find beneficial include a 100-hour countdown timer and a 100-hour chronograph (with lap and split). These features allow a more detailed measurement of my workout progress and are easily accessible through the button functions. I’m also happy with the fact that it is water resistant up to 50 meters- perfect for days when I want to go for a swim. Unlike other watches, this watch uses INDIGLO night-light technology which enables easy viewing of the display, even at night.
The package comes with a chest strap for heart rate monitor, durable resin case, and comfortable resin strap. It claims to last 3.5 years with each battery change but I have no qualms because I can easily change it myself without having to send it back to the manufacturer every time.
Overall, Timex T5J031 Unisex Digital Fitness Heart Rate Monitor Watch is a good product from Timex and I would be happy to give it a recommendation anytime.

If you are looking for a basic but efficient heart rate monitor watch, then you should consider the Timex T5G971 Unisex Sports Personal Heart Rate Monitor Watch. It is like no other, designed with simplicity in mind albeit containing all the essential qualities of a good heart rate monitor (HRM) watch.
Timex T5G971 Unisex Sports Personal Heart Rate Monitor Watch
Comparing the features of various HRM watches, I find these qualities to be topmost priority as measure of a good product: (1) accurate, (2) easy to operate and (3) long lasting with each battery change.
An accurate measurement will reflect the overall progress of your workout and this should motivate you to improve your performance. The Timex T5G971 Unisex Sports Personal Heart Rate Monitor Watch does this through the continuous tracking of your heart rate during exercise. Another feature is the pre-set target heart rate zones, which notifies user when he/she is out of the target zone.
I personally like the automatic activity timer and workout review function. With it I can recall a particular activity time and my subsequent average/peak heart rates. Designed with endurance in mind, it is also water resistant up to 30-meters.
Using this HRM watch is not difficult at all, because all you need to do is explore the functions. The accompanying manual is of great help. I can conveniently access different functions with the few available buttons. And I don’t have to strain my eyes to read the screen, thanks to the INDIGLO illumination technology.
The downside to this product is its battery life; it claims to last up to 2 years, which is slightly less than some of the other HRM watches in the market. However, to compensate for this downside would be the flexibility of replacing the batteries. Users can replace them without the need to return the watch to the manufacturer.
Overall, Timex T5G971 Unisex Sports Personal Heart Rate Monitor Watch is one of the better HRM watches available in the market and you can rest assure that it is a good purchase because it is manufactured by Timex.

Need a basic heart rate monitor with general features and is in reasonable price? Timex T5G941 might suit your need, however, think twice before you get one…..you can always opt for better since you are not lacking of choices!!
Timex T5G941 Heart Rate Monitor Watch
Besides the basic feature of measuring your heart rate, Timex T5G941 can also recalls activity time and average, peak and minimum heart rate. The watch display is large and easy to read, which shows you accurate heart rate during exercise. It proud-of qualities are the INDIGLO night light backlight and the transmitter with replaceable battery.
It uses less battery power and the battery can last for 2 years, which is considered outstanding compare to other heart rate monitors. Timex T5G941 comes with elastic strap fits chest sizes from 25 inches to 53 inches, which is common for most heart rate monitor. The watch also display 12/24 hour time and month/date display, which is nothing to be proud of.
The bad thing of Timex T5G941 is not suitable for swimming, but the perplexing part is it is said water resistance to 30 meters and enabling to withstand splashes, probably a ‘mild’ word is missing on the line.
Thankfully the design of the watch is quite presentable and I like its simple yet stylish design with a touch of modern sense. Well, think trice to have one a go!!!
