Sports reviews of Timex T5J031 Unisex Digital Fitness Heart Rate Monitor Watch
Customer Review: Purchased a Timex because battery is user-replaceable
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
Prior to purchasing this monitor, I used a Polar HRM for the last 8 years - primarily in spinning class and sometimes when cycling outdoors. The Polar worked fine, but every time the battery died I had to send the monitor and the strap back to Polar for replacement. The last time I did this, the replacement/repair cost was about as much as the cost of a new monitor and I was without a monitor for 3 weeks. At that point, I decided that the next time I needed a new battery I would buy a monitor that let me replace the battery myself. When my Polar battery died in January, I did some research and purchased the Timex T5J031.
PROS:
1. User replaceable battery (although Timex recommends having this done by a watch repairer).
2. Display is easy to read with different formats (heart rate only, heart rate and elapsed time, etc.).
3. For each lap, keeps track of time, average/maximum/minimum heart rate, time in zone and calories burned.
4. Detects heartbeat immediately (the Polar HRM took about 10 seconds and sometimes failed to detect the heartbeat).
5. Has a stable heartbeat (sometimes the Polar HRM would jump to a ridicuously high number for no reason).
6. Can't be accidently reset (this often happened with the Polar HRM and I would loose all of the data).
7. Has a button to turn on an indigo light so that you can see your heart rate in the dark (useful in spin class when the lights are out).
8. Comes with a good booklet that talks about training with the monitor and using different heart rate zones to accomplish your goals. The book also explains how to calculate your maximum heart rate (instead of using the 220 minus your age formula, which is just a rule of thumb and is not accurate for many people).
CONS:
1. Buttons/functions are a little tricky to learn (but I think that all HRMs are like this).
2. Strap may not be long enough for some people.
3. Calories burned are much greater than with the Polar HRM. I'm not sure if they're accurate (but I use them just as a general guide anyway).
CONCLUSION: I been using the Timex T5J031 for 3 months now and I'm completely satisfied.
