Product Description
From Timex arrives the ultimate training partner for health and fitness enthusiasts alike. Input your target fitness heartrate zone and you will be kept on course with audible alert and visual in-zone indication on screen. The 27-lap memoryrecall and calorie expenditure mean this is the ultimate for heart rate training both during and after workout. This Timex watch gives the user heart rate analysis for one session by displaying minimum, average and peak heart rate, arguably the most important factors of each training session. Heart rate can either be viewed as percentage of maximum heart rate or simply by the heart rate beats per minute. Digital transmission allows the user to train in a gym environment within close proximity to other heart rate monitor users without experiencing any interference.

Crossover interference is when the signals for two or more heart rate transmitters interfere with each other. The Target Fitness Heart Rate Monitor allows you to train without being interrupted. The user also has the option to download the heart rate data to a PC by purchasing the Timex Data Recorder 2. This is a software package solution that can assist data control of fitness progression over time.

Customer Reviews
My first HRM I have run used this HRM for several weeks now and am pretty happy with it. It is my first one, so I have nothing to compare it to. I have found it to be quite easy to use and very helpful in making my runs meaningful. I have used it at the Y a few times and it doesn't work with their machines. I ran a 5k with it and for some reason it didn't start sending a good signal until half way through. I like the cal. function and I like that I can see the heart rate, the zone I am in, and the time all at once. As far as keeping it simple and stupid, this watch is it. Nothing too fancy, just another extremely reliable Timex product.
Does its job but the manual(s) suck and the bracelet is slightly annoying Pulse measurement works great. I always get a reading and it seems to be stable and accurate. No interference with radio, tv, etc. The cons: 1) The manuals are poorly written and the operation of the watch is somewhat counterintuitive if you're used to Casio-type watches. I've managed to get most functions to work, like recording max/min/avg pulse during a workout. The "recover" mode remains a mystery to me (and I'm not a complete moron: M.S. in engineering) 2) The watch is a bit cumbersome to put on and take off because of an annoying little security feature on the bracelet. Makes it more safe, probably, but I'm not planning to go skydiving with it, so I would be better off without.
A very worthwhile training tool I chose this monitor because of the user-replaceable batteries and the positive reviews here at Amazon, and I wasn't disappointed. I use it for cycling and have found it very useful to prevent excessive training in the anaerobic zone, something I didn't realize I was doing before I had the monitor. By not over-doing it and pacing myself more appropriately, I actually enjoy the challenge of climbing hills now, rather than dreading it.
