Timex Heart Rate Monitor
Timex has been around for 150 years during which they’ve vigorously pursued technological innovation and market leadership. Timex Heart Rate Monitor incorporates their latest digital technology with fitness methodology used by the fitness experts of the Ironman® Institute.
Now, the world leader in sport timing devices has made their mark in digital heart rate monitoring. Timex has designed a device that offers accuracy world class athletes demand with the functions and features anyone can use in their quest for fitness.
Timex successfully blends their innovation and technology into affordable Heart Rate Monitors for the masses. Here’s a few of their best selling HRMs and watch combinations.
Timex T5G971 Unisex Sports Personal Heart Rate Monitor Watch
This Timex HRM model can be worn by both men and women. It’s a larger heart rate monitor watch that comes with a chest strap, easily accessible function buttons, durable resin case, and comfortable tapered profile resin strap.
This Timex lets you continuously track your heart rate during exercise. You can also set target heart rate zone and an alarm sounds if you should fall out of the zone.
Like to keep records and track your workout? This device includes an automatic activity timer and a workout review so you can call up the activity time and average/peak heart rates. Oh, it also functions as a watch with month/day/date display and you can select 12 or 24-hour time.
Timex is famous for their Indiglo night-light feature and it’s included on this model as well. Indiglo lights the watch dial with Timex’s patented blue electroluminescent lighting technology. This unique technology uses less battery power than most other illuminating watches thus providing longer life to your watch battery.
The unit is water resistant to 100 feet, but you don’t have to actually go into the water to benefit from this protection. It safeguards against rain and water splashes. And sweat.
Some heart rate monitor companies insist you return the device to them for battery replacement. All Timex heart rate monitor sensors have batteries that can be replaced by you. Nice.
Timex T5J031 Unisex Digital Fitness Heart Rate Monitor Watch
This mid-sized watch/heart rate monitor is comfortable for men and women. It combines good looks with heart rate monitoring and sport timing features.
The device has a chest strap heart rate monitor, easily accessible function buttons, durable resin case, and comfortable resin strap with an attractive tapered profile.
You wear a heart rate monitor so you can integrate it with your training. This model lets you track your average heart rate, which is your primary interest. You can also pre-set target heart rate zones and this unit will provide data for the time you spent in that zone. And alarms you when you’re not. (A little motivation to pick up the pace!)
You can also call up the data for calories burned to see how long you have to work off that late night bowl of ice cream. Also built in is a convenient recovery timer that measures your heart rate after a timed recovery – during or after your workout.
Besides providing heart rate information, the watch performs many requested sport timing features too. This model includes:
• 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
Timex T5J031 Unisex Digital Fitness Heart Rate Monitor Watch is equipped with Indiglo night-light. The Night Mode feature illumination for 3 seconds with any button press. This is uber handy for dim-light situations. Indiglo technology extends battery life too.
The watch is water resistant and is rated up to 165 feet. Timex says it’s fine for swimming but not so much for diving.
Monitoring your heart during exercise is important if the goal is to maximize your training. Unfortunately, without some kind of device that tells you precisely what’s going on with your ticker, it’s just guesswork. A Timex heart rate monitor removes the guesswork by providing you accurate and dependable feedback.
