Amazon.com Product Description
Combining stylish looks with power sport timing and heart rate monitoring features, this larger Timex Ironman Triathlon watch (model T5C401) can be worn by both men and women. It features a chest strap heart rate monitor, easily accessible function buttons, and Timex's comfortable doubleshot polyurethane strap. 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
- 30-lap memory with average heart rate per laps
- 100-hour, 3-mode countdown timer
- Alarm with 5-minute backup
- Month/day/date display with 12/24-hour time
- 3-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.

This is my second time buying a Timex. Now is a gift ... but it is just perfect. Works well, light, good size. And this product just proved that the customer service from amazon.com is excellent.
When I received the box the clock was missing. I contact Amazon and they sent me again imitiately.
I was very pleased with my purchase and with my seller!

Easy to use. Definetly helps me to make for a more efficient work out. It even counts calories burned!
I like the timex HRM October 24, 2008
C. Shum (Oregon)
I like this HRM better than my polar one for a couple of reasons. One, since it is pretty much an ironman watch, I am familiar with what the watch part can do and two, it was easy to figure out without having to read a confusing manual. The only thing I wish it had was a softer chest band like my polar has but I don't really notice it all that much.
I bought this HRM so I can have a HRM and a countdown timer which is really important for me.
First timer looking for entry level HRM October 22, 2008

First off I have never trained with an HRM before. I went with the Timex because I have used the ironman line int he past for running and I enjoy the simple usability the device offers.
This ironman watch doesn't have the same reviews as the other Timex HRM offered for a similar price, but I like the appearance of the Ironman HRM and figured they must have the same guts...
I unboxed mine and was up and monitoring within 15 minutes. All you need to do is change the date/time, max hr and weight and the whole watch is good to go. Timex will pre-configure 5 training zones for you and there is a 6th manual mode as well. I found the HRM to be accurate out of the box with minimal water applied to the sensors.
On my first run I compared my walking HR between the timex and the treadmill hand sensors and they were exactly the same.
I will also say that the HR Chest Belt is much more comfy than I anticipated! Overall I'm very happy and have a good looking watch to boot.
Awesome product August 5, 2008

This is the first heart rate monitor that I have used. So I really have nothing to compare it to. But it works exceptionally well for my purposes. I am traing to run in 2 x 1/2 marathons and 1 marathon. Being able to monitor my fitness has helped me acheive outstanding results. If you are looking for easy use and lightweight this is the one.
Have fun!
