 Mistake, Mistake Mar 08, 2010
As a watch this Timex T5J031 is great - but trying to use for heart rate monitor - horriable. The chest belt stopped collecting data in less than a month - not sure if it's battery or what - but hate this watch. Had to order another without chest belt. I read the reviews but did not listen to the low rated reviewers (should have).
 Look elsewhere Mar 02, 2010
This is not a product I would recommend. First off the watch is advertised as Water Resistant to 50 meters.....The packaging states only 30.
The Heart rate strap is erratic and the readings are all over the place. I've tried water and gel but no change.
The Heart rate strap ONLY works with the watch. I've tried it with Precor and Life Fitness machines at the gym. Nothing.
The Calorie burn is not even worth putting on this watch. 521 Calories on a 30 minute walk? Yeah right. 1015 Calories burned on a 45 eliptical session? Not a chance.
In fact this product does not do anything right other than tell the time and stop watch. And you don't need this watch for that. This one goes right back to Amazon.
 Great budget HRM watch. Feb 16, 2010
I have loved this watch and have run in it for 2 years now. Only thing I've had to do is replace the battery in the heart rate band/transmiter. It does a lot of what the more expensice HRM's do and you can customize settings pretty well. Has functioned great. Recently upgraded to a GPS HRM watch but will still use this I'm sure. Countdown timer is useful to have. Wish it would have lap storage like other running watches.
Bottom line - have liked using it and have used it a alot (just yesterday!). Has several display modes and really does work as a training tool.
Highly recommended for those looking for a HRM to use during training who don't want to spend >>100$ on an HRM running watch with all of the super fancy features.

Excellent once you get it set up. It was a little difficult to understand all the instructions to set it up, but once I got it, it works great. I like that you can change the battery, also. You can't do that with Polar products.
 Good basic HRM Feb 12, 2010
This is a good HRM for the money. The manual is not very good and the Timex website is even worse. No matter what I do, it seems to want to start new laps. So at the end of an even, I have 5 or so laps even if I have not touched any buttons. The description says it is data recorder compatible but there is no mention of this in the manual so I don't know what that means. The best thing about this watch is that once it gets a heart rate, it stays locked on and is up to the second accurate.
