Amazon.com Product Description
Combining stylish looks with power sport timing and heart rate monitoring features, this larger Timex Digital Fitness watch (model T5H911) can be worn by both men and women. It features a chest strap heart rate monitor, easily accessible function buttons, durable resin case, and comfortable resin strap with a stylish tapered profile. 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 can also display data for calories burned and offers a recovery timer that measures your heart rate after a timed recovery during or after your workout. Sport timing features include:

  • 100-hour chronograph with lap and split, either in large digits
  • 27-lap memory with average heart rate per laps
  • 100-hour countdown timer
  • Alarm with 5-minute backup
  • Month/day/date display with 12/24-hour time
  • 3.5-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.

    The watch is ok to me. I am not the smartest when it comes to gad­getry so I have a dif­fi­cult time get­ting the heart rate mon­i­tor to work. Other fea­tures to the watch are good.

    Pur­chased it for my hus­band, it was a lit­tle hard for him to fig­ure out, and since he is an engi­neer it must be hard for any­one to fig­ure out, also a lit­tle hard to get around chest area. Other wise a very good prod­uct.

    After 3 dif­fer­ent trans­mit­ters then a com­plete new set I received one that worked. Great cus­tomer ser­vice but qual­ity con­trol is lack­ing. So after pur­chas­ing it I finally got to use it a month later.

    Works great. I like the calo­ries burned fea­ture. This is my first heart rate mon­i­tor so I can’t com­pare it to another one. Fairly sim­ple to set up and get run­ning. Info on how to cal­cu­late your max heart rate is in the man­ual and some tid­bits on zone train­ing. As with any elec­tronic device with min­i­mal but­tons there is a learn­ing curve for nav­i­gat­ing the var­i­ous fea­tures.

    The reset but­ton inside the trans­mit­ter is not illus­trated very well. I’m not sure I ever reset it cor­rectly, of course it was a bad unit any­way!

    Noth­ing remark­able to say. As the title says, this heart rate mon­i­tor works just like it says. This is the first heart rate mon­i­tor I’ve ever owned, so I don’t really know how it com­pares to sim­i­lar prod­ucts. So far, no prob­lems. It seems like it has a fairly full set of fea­tures, and the con­trols seem fairly intu­itive.

    This watch do exactly what they say, num­bers are big, very easy to use and the size its per­fect for my wrist, the strap in the chest is very con­fort­able, I use this wacth every day for run­nig and gym and its the per­fect tool for a good train­ing, I do recomended for those who are seri­ous about train­ing, the only thing I found is the watch is 30M water­proof not 50M but I dont care about this because Im not going so deep any­way.
