Sports reviews of Timex T5J031 Unisex Digital Fitness Heart Rate Monitor Watch
Customer Review: Very nice... good little training tool and toy
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I bought this HRM to help me as I began a training program, and decided on this one rather than a Polar monitor because it was cheaper and because it was a Timex. It was easy to use out of the box (I ran later that day); I set the time and after fiddling a little with the buttons I was able to use the timer and HRM functions.
The chest strap is snug and comfortable; the watch is unisex but for women with tiny wrists it might be a bit too loose; I myself wear it the tightest possible setting.
Aesthetically it looks great. It's not something that I personally would go around wearing all the time, but it's easy to read and the buttons are easy to use. The indigo is not ideal for when I'm running on the street in the evening since it lights up the numbers rather than the whole face of the watch, but this is a tiny issue.
Overall, fantastic product, and I'm so glad that something this well-featured is availiable at such a competitive price from Timex.
Customer Review: BETTER THAN EXPECTED FOR THE PRICE
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I recently purchased the Timex T5J031 heart rate monitor from Amazon.com to replace a Polar unit that cost twice as much as the T5J031. In every respect the T5J031 is as good as or better than the Polar unit that I had for 2 years. The T5J031 records your minimum heart rate, maximum heart rate, your average heart rate, the time spent in your predetermined training zone, calories burned, and also your recovery heart rate taken 2 minutes after ending your excercise session. Another great function is the ability to easily change the digital display on the watch to one of 7 different display combinations. The heart sensor strap is very soft and comfortable and easily adjusts to different lengths. I have a 48" chest and the heart sensor unit fits with no problem. All-in-all I couldn't be more satisfied with this unit especially for the price. Also, the buying process through Amazon.com was excellent as usual, with delivery at my house 6 days after ordering it.Customer Review: very handy watch
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
alright i ordered the watch from amazon and i was very happy with the shipping and packaging and handling. 5 stars there. the watch came with three manuals, the watch and the chest transmitter and strap. very very easy to set and get started; after only 15 minutes i had the watch ready and set with all of my heart info including my max heart rate and zone intensity (they show in the manual how to find the heart info out). 4 stars there. right after the 15 minutes i geared up and went on a 20 minute bike ride to try it out; i can already get a basis of what my heart rate is during an exercise without a h.r.m. so i can account for the good accuracy of this device; it also shows at the end of your workout the average h.r., the peak h.r., minimum h.r., calorie burnage and lastly your heart recovery rate. 5 stars. the only downside is if you have a small wrist do not buy it because it is made for larger wristed people. 3 stars thereCustomer Review: Very Pleased

This is my first heart rate monitor. I use it jogging, biking, and on the elliptical. After 3 months of use, I am very pleased with it.
The functions all work well. The heart rate connection has never failed. I use tap water, no gels. At the gym, the heart rate measures from the watch match the elliptical machine. Set up is straight forward. I do not wish for more features.
I found the pamphlet on zone training and the exercises for determining my max heart rate very helpful.
I am a man with small wrists. The watch fits me well. The strap on the monitor is comfortable but just fits by 42" chest when lengthened to the max.
I now use the time, heart rate, zone, and calorie data as a common measure across exercise types. I know longer use my bicycle computer.
Customer Review: Do not hesitate to buy this watch
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I purchased this watch/HRM after a few weeks of pretty intense research, and I am pleased beyond my expectations to have made this decision.
You will not find a comparable watch/HRM for around the same price. Period. This product has one of the highest bang-for-your-buck ratios on Amazon!
PROS:
+ HRM is amazingly accurate and isn't easily distracted with radio interference.
+ Includes 5 target "zones" for HRM, or a completely custom setting can be used.
+ Counts calories burned.
+ Multiple interface options for the HRM, including an easy-to-read "in the zone" range.
CONS:
NONE.
Seriously - do not spend tons of money on a fancy Polar or Nike HRM. This watch is phenomenal and I can't say enough good things about it.
