Excellent heart rate monitor!

Review Date: March 20, 2010

Reviewer: uncle-buck, Houston, TX USA

4-30-2010 Update: Had an issue with irregular heart rate readings after six weeks of use. Called the Timex support center and reached a very nice woman. She suggested replacing the battery in the chest strap since there's no way to know how long the unit I purchased had been sitting on the shelf. Even offered to send a new chest strap if the battery replacement didn't fix the issue. Fortunately, it did.

The more I use this, the better I like it.

I used Polar F6 heart rate monitors for four years. The Timex IronMan Race Trainer is superior in several ways. It has more features. It is more comfortable to wear. And most importantly, the heart rate readings are much more accurate and consistent.

Takes a little time to set it up and learn how to use it - and it's worth it. The print in the manual that comes with the product is small, so I recommend downloading and printing the manual from the Timex website.

All in all, this is an excellent product and a good value.

Great Product

Thus far, I have only used it for running, but it definitely does the job. I plan on biking with it on and any other cardio-based exercises in the future to make sure I'm not working too heavily or lightly.
The heart monitor chest strap works great for me. Once adjusted correctly, I can't feel it while I'm running and it isn't noticeable, even under a thin shirt.
The watch looks cool and isn't heavy or restraining, so I have no problem wearing it anytime (and trust me, I have never been a watch person). I have worn it while running across my college campus in the pouring rain and I was comforted that I could check the time without grabbing my cell phone and giving it water damage.
All in all, a great product and exactly what I needed and wanted.

Excellent Upgrade from Polar

This was a replacement for my Polar F7. It beats all of my expectations. I'm very pleased with the features provided for the price and quality. I've used it on several multi-sport events with no hassles whatsoever. Besides from the basic features (HR: MAX & AVG, CAL, etc ...) the LAP & Recovery functions are very useful. And lets not forget that the batteries are "user replaceable" ... a big plus.

Love it!

I've always used Ironman watches for training in the past but never the haeart monitor. I have polar heart monitors I used for cycling... this will replace my polar watch. I love all the classic Ironman features combined witht he heart monitor features! A+
