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 also offers up to four linked interval timers, each with its own target zone, and a recovery timer that measures your heart rate after a timed recovery during or after your workout.

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.

I have been using this watch for about a year, and am about to buy a new watch even though this one still works. It has been very frustrating for me as a triathlete. In terms of functionality, the heart rate monitor works fine, although I have gotten EXTREMELY discrepant readings from time to time. Sometimes well below my actual HR, other times well above my MAX heart rate. But those issues have been fairly limited. What really makes this watch almost useless to me is that I use it for triathlon training, and the stop button constantly gets pushed as I'm shifting my grip on my bike. All of the sudden, I will look down at my watch only to realize it has not been on for 5-10 minutes. I suppose I could switch wrists, but still, I find that the buttons (even during everyday use) get pushed much too often. My guess is the buttons are big and easy to push as an intended benefit to the user, but to me, they are TOO big. If it weren't for this flaw (or if I didn't cycle so much), this would not be an issue.Customer Review: Timex Ironman T5F001 Unisex 100-Lap Target Trainer Heart Rate Monitor Watch

This watch is useful and convenient in most functions.
However, it does not calculate calorie!!!
Half of the people who buy this type of watch are for diet purpose which requires calorie calculation by training.
And I thought it is standard function for these watches, or I just do not know how to check it?
Anyway, if it is only training purpose, this is very inexpensive, good watch.
Customer Review: Another Timex Dud
Sport shop rating: 1 Stars
This is my third Timex Ironman HRM and the last one I'll ever buy. I've previously bought the less expensive Timex HRM and found out they're not waterproof. Why should I expect water-resistant to 50m and being called a TRIATHLON watch (swim is part of triathlon I think) indicate I could rely on it to withstand a few swims and some sweating? Wrong! Both of my first two watches went down in a heap of water bubbles under the crystal after a few swims in the lake. Timex sent me replacements (for a 6$ surcharge): the first replacement worked for about 2wks then read my heart rate consistently at 249bpm; the second watch developed water droplets under the crystal after a few sweaty runs in the heat of summer.
But I like the look of the watch so I went for the upgrade - the T5F001. It is a fairly good watch and does essentially the bare basics of a running watch that I need EXCEPT when I run in the winter and require more than 2 layers on top. For some reason, the monitor is unable to pick up a signal through a few extra shirts. Once again, I'm left with a suboptimal HRM from Timex. My recommendation - go for the Suunto.
