Sports reviews of Timex T5J031 Unisex Digital Fitness Heart Rate Monitor Watch
Customer Review: Don't hit gym without it!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
This is the best fitness gadget! I love it! I only recently started exercising again, and have found the HRM to be invaluable. When I first started jogging, I could only manage 20 mins before I felt like I was going to collapse! With the HRM, I immediately saw that I was over doing it. I was able to ease back on my speed until my rate dropped back into "the zone". Consequently, I could go for 45 minutes (burning more calories in the process!). I also love that it calculates the calories I'm burning off. I don't know if it's an accurate number, but it gives a great guide to which activities work best for me. Oh, and I find the strap is perfectly comfortable.Customer Review: Exactly what I needed
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I needed a watch that would perform all of the functions of a regular Timex watch, with one additional feature - a Heart Monitor. This watch is it. It's much cheaper than the Polar series, but equally effective.
It tracks my heart rate continuously, and lets me know how long I stayed "In the Zone." There are five zones, that are customizable based on your Max Heart Rate. This watch also tells you how many calories you've burned, based on your age and weight (all input into the watch itselft). This really helps when I do my cardio sessions.
Overall - A Best Buy. Trust me on this one, this watch is worth it.
Customer Review: Great Watch
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
This HRM works great. I work out at the gym for about fifteen hours per week, doing everything from weight lifting to kettle bells to aerobics to circuit training. I managed to plateau a couple of times and needed a better handle on how many calories I burned as an aid in setting a better workout schedule. Of course their our limits in terms of what wrist and chest sizes the monitor and receiver will fit. Too bad that information is not made clearer. Out of the box, the monitor is about 36". It probably expands another 10-12". My wrist is small. (I'm only 5'1.) It fits a little loosely, but that seems to not affect its accuracy.Customer Review: Great HRM
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I love this HRM. I have been using an HRM for my running training for the last 18months and upgraded to this unit. I specifically bought this unit because i wanted to know my average HR over different sections of my run. It is important to have this capability if you want to be able to do a field test for Lactate Threshold. This HRM allows me to do exactly that!
Pros
Excellent stopwatch
Great HRM functions eg average HR per lap
Easy to set up and use.
Great features for the price.
I am very pleased with my purchase.
Cons
I haven't found any yet.
Customer Review: Love my heart rate monitor
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I really like this heart rate monitor, I have not encountered any problems with this device. This is my first so I do not have anything to compare it to though.
I am a little curious as to how accurate the calories burned is because sometimes it states that I burn over 1000 in spin class, but it could be correct because when I first got it I was burning 600 in spin class and since I have gotten it I know now when to push harder to reach my target heart rate. I love this thing, you get so much more out of a workout when using a heart rate monitor, in my personal opinion!!!!
