Customer Review: Dropped once and stopped working
I purchased this pedometer based on another person's review which raved about its durability. It worked great the first day until I leaned over to pick something off the floor at my office. The pedometer popped off my waistband, fell about 2 feet to a carpeted floor, and stopped calculating completely. Needless to say, I was disappointed that the pedometer didn't even make it through the first 24 hours and sent it back. I understand that pedometers should be "motion sensitive", but given the punishing that runners and hikers put them through, they should certainly be able to survive the occasional drop -- especially to a carpeted floor. I do not recommend this product.
Customer Review: Rugged, well designed pedometer
After trying a dozen pedometers, I discovered the rugged, well designed Timex 5E021.
The display is large enough to read easily, and the construction is sturdy. The belt clip never slips off. It clips securely to a belt or even the elastic band of a pair of athletic shorts.
Every other pedometer I tried had serious design flaws. Battery doors fell off, belt clips broke, and buttons were positioned so it was easy to accidently reset the units.
Many of the other pedometers I tried were overly sensitive to belt position. If the pedometer was too far to the front or back of my waist, the step-count and distance would be off by as much as a third.
By contrast, the Timex is easy to position (right over the hip bone) and is always accurate.
The reset button is positioned so it will not reset accidently.

Timex T5E021 Pedometer
Timex Ironman T5E701 Women's 100-Lap Speed + Distance Watch
Customer Review: Dot even think about buying it
Hi,
I bought this watch on ebay brand new about three weeks ago (did not even realized it was women's watch).For the record I live in Chicago, US - so I'm sure I have plenty of satellites over my had
Ok here it goes. The manual says it takes about 5 minutes to connect watch to satellite first time or if you move from your location by hundreds of miles - well; it took me over sixty minute to connect first time. The manual say every next time you turn it on it takes about 45seconds -it takes me every time about 15 minutes when I try to connect each day.
Then when I jog this over glorified stop watch disconnects from satellite on average every 60 seconds. And if you happen to be in stopwatch/distance mode it will not beep to let you know that you are disconnected. So you have to look at this dam watch every 15seconds to see if the mileage updates.
Speaking of "dates" the time does not displays correctly ether. It has dual time zones, but one shows correct date but hour is way off and the other shows time with one hour difference but date way off.
They advertise it to be water resistant up to 100 meters - but the manual say: it will not measure distance or speed under water and not to push any buttons because it may leak. I guess thay made it water resistant so then you though it into a lake it will stay there for next generations.
So this morning after running about 3 miles and the watch showing .545 mile I took the receiver and smashed it against the wall -there goes my $155.00.
Do yourself a favor, don't by it
P.S.
I gave it one star only because the system will not let me proceed with the review if I don't pick any stars. But zero stars from me.

Timex Children's Iron Kid's Pink Fast Wrap Watch
Customer Review: Great watch. Easy to use.
My daughter absolutely loves this watch. We've had it more than a month now & it lives up to the Timex slogan, "It takes a lickin' but keeps on tickin."
Customer Review: Disappointed being it's made for a child
My daughter loved this watch, however, it is not made to withstand any sort of accidents. She had it only a month and accidental dropped in on the kitchen floor, it's linoleum... not hardwood or tile and the watch went haywire, started running random numbers and the function buttons will not work at all. Basically it's toast. Appears it is not the battery since the display still shows up. Being a kid's watch, you would think Timex would make it more durable than this! I bought it due to the Timex name in hopes it would be made to last longer than a few weeks.
My son has a fossil watch and he smashed it up when he feel off his bike onto the concrete. It's scatched up a bit but still works perfectly.

Timex Men's Expedition Premium Collection Chronograph Watch
Customer Review: Great Deal
Got this watch 5 weeks ago and I love it. Looks awesome and the alarm functions (12 hour/<1 hour) work great. Don't panic like other reviewers if the chronograph hands are not aligned when you get the watch or if they go out of alignment. Just read the manual and its very easy to re-align them.
Customer Review: You can't go wrong with Timex
This is such an awesome watch, I bought four of them. I sent one to my brother for his birthday and he loves it. I wear three of them, alternating days, a black face, blue, and the all white dials face. They all look really great and perform their functions flawlessly. I particularly like the Timex "Indiglo" feature, it is so useful and works so well. I don't mind the thickness or weight, it is as rugged as they get. For those who are watch snobs, I say wearing a Timex demonstrates your no-nonsense attitude toward exceptional value for the reasonable price of these watches and timeless durability and function. I have two Timex watches that are over forty years old and still operate perfectly.
You, simply, can't go wrong investing in a Timex watch, and this Chronograph shows your good taste and common sense.

Timex Women's Ironman Triathlon Sleek 50 Lap Watch
Customer Review: Falling apart!
I have worn many of these watches, and I bought this one for my daughter. After minimal wear, and not even for sports, it's already falling apart. Frustrating!
Customer Review: Pretty good
I've been using this watch for about a month now and it has done a good job till now. The one functionality that I find difficult to control is 'stopping'! When I try to stop it, it usually thinks I'm trying to pause and continues timing me. Perhaps I just need to read the instructions a bit more, but this is one thing that you would expect to be intuitive.

Timex Military Quartz Watch
Customer Review: Look rugged, but isn't.
Good: cheap, lightweight, looks rugged.
Bad: Isn't rugged at all. While hosing off my military pistol belt, I noticed that the underside of the watch crystal had started to form condensation; meaning that water had somehow gotten inside the "water resistant" watch after being exposed to a light spray. The tang buckle is cheap stamped metal and takes some work to line up with the restraining hole in the band.
For $5 to $10 more you can get a Timex Explorer watch.
Customer Review: Good enough for what it is
Pros: Timex has produced variations of this watch for years. The plastic case is tough and light, and the nylon olive drab band is rot-proof and durable. The back is stainless steel, secured by four small screws. Battery replacement is simple. The analog dial is very easy to read.
Cons: Not very accurate for a quartz timepiece. This item is no competition for the Marathon watches actually used by the military. Mine runs slow, so resetting is more of a nuisance. (A fast-running watch can be 'hacked' by simply pulling out the crown and waiting for standard time to catch up.) Also, the plastic crystal scratches very easily. Given these disadvantages, this is a rather expensive item in the casual sport watch category. I paid about $25, and you'll find some online vendors charging over $40. There are cheap, accurate watches out there for less that will do the job of this one.

Timex Men's Outdoor Performance Chrono Alarm Timer Expedition Watch T47512
The Indiglo night-light uniformly lights the surface of the watch dial using patented blue electroluminescent lighting technology. It uses less battery power than most other watch illumination systems, enabling your watch battery to last longer. The Night Mode feature allows you to illuminate the Indiglo night-light for 3 seconds with any button press, regardless of the mode or function.
Customer Review: Great Watch!
This watch is fantastic. It has lots of options for time and date, the alarm is loud enough, and it is well lit. But best of all is the compass (which is the reason I bought it instead of another). Yes, you have to read the manual and set the declination depending on what part of the world you are in. But once that is done, the compass works very well for "urban crawling" as they put it and turned out to be highly accurate for my needs. I only had to reset it once during a recent two week trip, and that was due to being near a strong magnetic field. Definitely a great purchase!
Customer Review: nice watch
I gave this to my boyfriend as a graduation gift. It looks nice but I would prefer to replace the Velcro wrist band with something a little nicer. We haven't used the compass yet.

Expedition Digital Compass
Customer Review: Works good
Had it for a few weeks now, seems to work good. It did freak out for a second a few days after I got it by completely reseting itself... screen went blank for a sec, then came back. Everything works fine though. If you never calibrated a digital compass, then I can see how it could be frustrating. Also, of course the compass needs to be recalibrated every so often. If I really needed to rely on this compass to get me somewhere, I'd recalibrate it every couple of hours. But just for the gee-whiz factor of having a compass watch I do it once a week or so... or whenever I want a somewhat accurate heading.
Setting digital Compass:
Go outside away from anything metal. Start the little calibrate option holding the compass level to the ground. Spin in 2 circles SLOWLY! Finish the calibrate.
This watch will allow you to enter the difference between true and magnetic north if you want. I really don't see why you would unless you live in a part of the world with a large difference... Timex says this compass is accurate within 5 degrees, so it is really only good for a general idea of cardinal direction. N, NE, E, SE... ect. If you really care about if you're pointing 105 or 110 degrees, then get a regular analog compass.
Customer Review: Very good, but my first one was defective.
Works very well. Nice that you can adjust compass reading to account for magnetic variation. Features seem to all work. Looks nice. Strap feels/looks good and is replaceable, too. Instructions reasonably easy to follow (except for compass directions which reference control buttons by names not clearly (if at all) shown on the diagrams). All in all a very satisfactory performer. BUT NOTE: my first watch was defective, failing several times over first 2 weeks; I returned to seller for replacement which I have received and put through a rigorous workout for past several weeks. I suggest you do the same, repeatedly testing all the functions to ensure it does not fail. The failure was seen by a sudden resetting of everything back to zero hour. That is Jan. 1, some years ago at 12:00am. Not good.

Women's Timex Easy Reader Watch - Black
Customer Review: Simple, no-fuss watch
I've worn this watch for years now, and I have no complaints. It's small, simple and feminine. It goes with all my outfits - unless I'm wearing something very formal, of course. It's affordable and reliable. I highly recommend it.
Customer Review: basic watch
This Timex watch (for women) is a basic model with a traditional face, but it has an Indiglo backlight which is a nice feature. It's a bit smaller than I had anticipated (given that it's called the "Easy Reader"). The user seems satisfied with the watch, but I would have gone with a slightly larger model had I been browsing the item in person.

Timex Bodylink Ultimate Package 3rd Generation - GPS Speed and Distance, Heart Rate and PC Link (inc.Software)
Customer Review: Timex say it ain't so!
I have always loved Timex watches, so my decision to pick this watch over the Suunto and Garmin was not a difficult choice. Unfortunately, I am less than impressed. The watch itself is fine, but I don't like the indiglo because it is not very bright. There is plenty of data that can be analyzed, but there is just something about the system that is no good. The GPS unit is finicky and doesn't always connect for me. The data recorder is small which is nice, but it is a pain to start the gps, watch, and data recorder and then run. There has to be a better way. The data recorder is a MAJOR disappointment when connecting to my PC. The cable is like a early 90s computer cable instead of usb that plugs IN the recorder. I have to connect the usb and squeeze the recorder to the cable with BOTH hands and hold it until it connects and downloads data. Sometimes this takes several attempts and often I have to start over when the recorder disconnects in mid download. The software is not very impressive either. I hate to say it... no it pains me to say it, don't buy this item. You have been warned.
Customer Review: Slightly flawed, but irreplaceable for serious training.
First, this has completely taken my training to a whole new level. I'm a medium distance runner training now for a half marathon. After using the speed & distance & heart rate monitor many times, I've started to get very familiar with where my heart rate should be if I'm going to have enough left to go the distance. And being able to see my pace in real time pushes me to make sure that I have *just* enough left, and not a bit more. My improvements in speed have been dramatic.
In terms of the actual product and features, I'd rate this as very good. The speed & distance GPS unit is extremely accurate. It takes a bit longer than I'd like (about a minute) to lock on to the satellites, but that's not a real problem, just a minor annoyance. Also, once, I fell after twisting my ankle. I stopped the chrono while I walked it off, then started it again when I started running. All of a sudden, though, I was doing 2' 55" miles. Needless to say, something was wrong. I stopped and started the chrono a couple more times, but still got similar readings. It wasn't until I stopped and restarted the GPS 45 minutes (and an alleged 15 miles) later that my pace started reading something realistic. That's only happened once.
The heart rate monitor works fantastically. I got a couple of spikey readings (240 bpm down to 0bpm back up to 240bpm) the first time I used it right at the very beginning. But I suspect that had more to do with the fact that I was still adjusting it on my chest since I had never used one before and wasnt' yet quite comfortable with it. Other than that one first time, though, it has given extremely accurate readings and has been invaluable in helping me keep myself at a pace that my body can sustain.
The data recorder has worked flawlessly except that it's a bit annoying that the data recorder and the chrono in the watch need to be started and stopped separately. At first this kind of bothered me, but having used it now for a month, I realize it makes very little difference if the data on the recorder is for a run that is for three seconds longer or shorter than what my watch reads. For training purposes, this has made no difference at all to me.
The worst part of the whole package is the timex trainer software. I suspect that in the HRM and S&D data over the course of a training run, there's a lot that I could learn about when my body starts to fatigue, how soon that occurs, and how that point changes as my condition improves etc. etc. I say that I "suspect" because there's no way I'll ever be able to find out using the training software. The graph it produces of an individual run is miniscule to begin with and cannot be resized. Also the scale cannot be altered. After all I'm not really interested in knowing much about what happens in the heart rate 0-160 zone, as I never run in that zone. I'd like to be able to set the HRM scale to 165-185 and the speed zone to... well, I'm not saying :-) Because only by doing that will the small differences in heart rate over a run appear large enough to see with clarity. I suspect the only way I'll be able to use that kind of data is by exporting it to excel. I've done that, but am not yet handy enough with it to see the kind of data that I really need in the way I want to.
In a nutshell, I highly recommend this product for anyone who wants to get a handle on what their body is capable of, and to improve it as well. It works excellently and I'm planning on keeping mine on when I run in the actual half marathon this april.

Timex Ironman T5F011 Men's Bodylink Heart Rate Monitor Watch
Customer Review: Worst Purchase EVER!
This watch was ridiculous! I tried 4 different times to get this watch to work on long runs. Only once did I get the GPS to connect to the watch. I thought for $165 I could get a decent alternative to the Garmin - I was wrong. I have returned the watch, which is a WHOLE story in itself. I still haven't gotten credited for the return after 2 ½ weeks. I called Jomashop, which Amazon outsourcers to and after sitting on hold for 20 minutes was told I would get my refund maybe in a week. Hum.............Not a great shopping experience.
Customer Review: Great product!
I've had the Timex Body Link for 3 year and absolutely love it! Using the heart rate monitor & GPS is very simple, all you have to do is turn them on push the red display button and they start working. There are also a number of different display settings for enthusiasts to customize.
The watch comes with a heart rate monitor (chest strap) and a GPS piece. The GPS comes with a arm band and belt clip accessories. This is not a watch with GPS built in like Garmin watches.
Timex also sells a data recorder that works with the Body Link system, but I would not buy it again since the software that comes with it is pretty worthless. Besides, most of the information you would want to track can be stored in the watch and written down later.
Pros:
- Easy to get started with
- 100 lap memory
- Loads of different display modes
- Reasonably small compared to other GPS watches
- Great price
- Heart rate recovery timer
Cons:
- GPS needs a lot of "open" sky to work properly, if you plan on running on forest trails or in the city with a lot of high rise buildings the GPS can't lock on to enough satellites.

Indiglo® Travel Alarm Clock with Multifunction Display
I've had this little travel alarm clock for several years now, but unfortunately it hasn't held up. Brand new out of the box it would beep whenever you pressed the nightlight button (annoying if you're traveling in hostels where other people are trying to sleep). Then after a couple of months of use the INDIGLO nightlight stopped working all together. Finally I could no longer rely on it at all when it started resetting itself randomly only a year after purchase. Too bad - it's very well designed and slick. I loved using it when all the features worked.

Customer Review: Ironman data Link
Bought for my son who runs X-country and track. Very easy to initially setup and very intuitive to use. Built really well. Computer interface sort of a "gee wiz" factor but does what it says. Makes setting reminders and such much easier than doing it on the watch. Great product at a great price
Customer Review: Everything a thumbs up
Over the years, I have bought a lot of watches and damaged/lost almost all of them, then, I bought myself this Data Link. This watch is sturdy and great looking.
The watch is a master piece. Its not just a watch but personal assistant on the wrist. All the functionalities it provides are very usable unlike the other so called Data watches. It seamlessly syncs up with Outlook and pulls in all contacts. There is no need to worry in case your cell phone battery plays tyrant. The 200 lap memory on the stopwatch is just great for keeping a tab on my running. The password protected notes section keeps the bank details safe and handy. Schedules, appointments, tasks, occasions, world time and what not. This watch has everything. The icing on the cake is that there is a hyper active yahoogroup on the watch, which keeps churning out new softwares for the watch every now and then.
The watch is completely customizable. You can select the programs you want on the watch and rearrange their order too. So if you need more memory for your contacts, the schedules can be bumped off and the stop watch can be reduced to just 5 laps. Marvelous.
One small glitch is that it can only sync up with one computer. So you cannot sync up simultaneously with your PC at home and office. If you try connecting it to a new PC, it resets all the preferences. This can be worked around by carrying all the required data files in a USB thumb drive. I have not tried this though.
In short, you need not waste time over the reviews, this watch is a steal even at $150.

Customer Review: If this is the midsize, where is the small? Band way too large
I'm a 5'9" small-framed athlete, and I could not wear this watch. There simply weren't enough holes in the band for it to sit flush on my wrist. Not to mention the strap is looooooooooooong. I mean, comically long. My 5'7" male trainer put it on and was on one of the first holes. If your wrist is remotely small, there will be a huge excess of strap hanging off the end, and due to the design, it would look wrong if cut off. I had to return it. Too bad - the face size is nice for a woman's small wrist, but with the seemingly dozen other holes in the band, I had to wonder - if you're using the outermost hole, well that would look ridiculous. The face would then look miniscule on that wrist.
Customer Review: Great Monitor
This watch works great. My only issue is that I accidentally hit the stopwatch button and stop my workout time. The heart rate monitor is very accurate. I would buy this again.

Timex T5G751 Data Recorder 2
Customer Review: An Ok Toy
The data recorder is an ok toy. I've had it cut out on me while it was supposed to be recording a couple of times. It doesn't link to the watch, so any timing infor from the watch is not kept. The PC program supplied with it is ok, would be much better if the plotted track could be coordinated with google maps or something of that sort. But it does a nice job of tracking work-outs and stores info in a very logical form. Overall I would just say that it is ok.
Customer Review: Right on track with this recorder...
This product is wonderful at recording workout data. And it easily and reliably links with your Timex chest strap.
My only gripe is that the software is not customizable to record and categorize data more toward users' needs. But it does do a great job of tracking your workout. I give it 4 of 5 stars!

Customer Review: One Time Zone
I bought this watch (TIMEX WOMEN'S WATCH/T5G341) to help me when I went to Europe where I would be traveling through several time zones. It did not perform. It is difficult to set to any other zone than the one which was on it when I bought it (NYC). When I went to re-check what the description said where I bought it, I could not find anything which resembled this watch or had any model or style model which I had expected to find on either my invoice or the watch itself. Watch out for fake watches. This one makes me feel as if I have been taken to the cleaners - but only for $35. sigh. I just happened to stumble across the fact that I had bought it though Amazon and was able to check my order history to find it again. Good luck finding a decent women's radio controlled watch. I can't.

I purchased this HRM over a month ago and have been using it a solid four days a week. I was willing to take a chance on the Timex instead of some of the other higher priced HRMs out there, and I'm so glad I did. It is a great product!
My only additional comment is; though its advertised as a unisex watch, my husband would never choose to ware it. Its small and too feminine looking, but works wonderfully as a ladies watch and perfect for me!

Timex Ironman T5G311 Midsize Bodylink System Heart Rate Monitor Watch
Customer Review: Too Small
When I opened the package I realized that this is definitely a woman's watch. That's fine, because I got it for my wife, but I was hoping to use it too. Then, within the first 5 minutes of having it out of the package, the battery door on the GPS unit got stuck and I broke it trying to un-stick it. I managed to rig it to work.
When I took it outside to try to acquire the satellites, I found out that the light that shows if you have the satellites is not nearly bright enough to see in the sunlight.
The watch is not medium sized as advertised, but pretty darn small. That's fine, but the main screen for exercising has three lines of info on it. The numbers are so small, you really have to look at it, not just glance at it like I am used to doing with other HRMs.
Other than those issues, it did work well!

Customer Review: does the job
great HRM, functions well, and has great features. it was slightly larger than what i thought (which is okay for guys, but since im a girl, i wanted something a little smaller) and the user interface isnt all that intuitive. however, it gets the job done and that's all you really want a HRM to do.
Customer Review: Perfect exercise companian
I love this watch. I've had it for about 3 weeks now and it does it's job perfectly. I love the zone system. It allows me to run much farther and for longer than I have before because I don't exhaust myself by running faster than my body can manage. The beeping feature (that can be turned off) that features two tone beeps to let you know whether you need to slow down or speed up to stay in your zone allows you to pace yourself without having to look at the watch. This model features a bar at the top of the display that shows the lower and upper limits of the zone you want to be in and where you are within (or outside) the zone. This is particularly useful if you decide to turn the two tone beeps off. Not all heart rate monitors from Timex feature this.
The batteries on the chest strap and the watch can be replaced by the user - an uncommon feature I believe.
The chest strap is quite comfortable and picks up signals very well - my wife tried it and she had no trouble with it either (the strap sits on the lower side of the chest). I found that if I put it on about 15 min before I exercised, my body would generate the sweat needed for good pickup.
Some reviewers have commented that the indiglo feature where the numerals light up (rather than the face) made for difficult reading. I found that if I tilted the watch slightly (rather than place the face at right angles to the line of sight), the numerals were clearly visible. I think I prefer this to the old method of lighting the face.
It is a fairly handsome watch - a bit on the thick side (about 14 mm x 42 mm or so wide) - perfect for a man even for daily wear but certainly large for a woman.
It took me a while to decide on buying this watch. Lack of clear size information (their midsize, large and extra large size indications are meaningless) on the Timex website meant that I had to scour shops and call customer service a couple of times to have them measure the watches for me.

This timer has 7 days around the perimeter.
But every few hours the timer turns on and then turns off after 3 hours. This is repeated EXACTLY every day.
So it's really no different than a 24 hour timer. Except that you can NOT set
the on and off times. They are preset.
I really am unhappy with Timex that they would foist a very
crippled timer on their customers.
Let me explain further if you don't happen to understand.
If you had a standard 24 hour timer you could set it to come on and go off at the
times that you preset. And then around and around it would go one time per day.
Turning on and off as you had preset it.
This product would go around only one time in 7 days. However it is pre programmed.
And that means that Timex has decided when it will go on and off. And to make it
worse. They have decided that at 6am every day it will go on for 3 hours and then
go off. Then at 6pm it goes on for 6 hours then goes off at midnight.
It can not be used for any intelligent programming because it's not settable. AND
a smart burgler who watched the house for more than one day would realize that
the light went on at the same time every day. Even though it's a 7 day timer!
Very substandard and a foolish purchase. I'm not happy.

Timex Ironman T5C411 Unisex 30-Lap Digital Fitness Heart Rate Monitor Watch
Customer Review: Pros & Cons
I've had two of these watches now and I like the product overall, but with some tragic flaws.
Pros:
- The buttons are well laid out and easy to use while exercising.
- Has all of the basic features needed for exercising (set heart rate ranges, alerts, calorie counting, lap, alarm, timer, etc.)
- Good screen size and readability while exercising
Cons: (the tragic flaws)
- Nothing about this watch is waterproof. If you get your sweat into it, the buttons stop working temporarily (I strap it to my bike or put it in my pocket while running to avoid getting it wet).
- I went swimming with it twice to monitor my heart rate, both times it fogged the screen and once it stopped working for a week until it had ample time to dry out.
- After a few months, the heart rate is not picked up by the watch (don't know if it is the watch or transmitter). I first thought it might be the battery and had them both changed (watch & transmitter) but the problem persisted.
When I had problems with the first one, I returned it within a week and the store gave me a new one. When the second one experienced the same problems, the 90 day warrenty period expired and I was left with a flaky watch with no recourse. I (stupidly) bought another since I liked design and thought I just experienced some bad luck with the first two. I made my second purchase of the watch (it was on sale) and it worked fine for 6 months before it too stopped receiving the heart rate.
The price was cheap, so you get what you pay for.
Customer Review: Very good HRM.
This HRM does everything I need. Never have had any issues getting my HR to read out on the display. Works great and easy to use.

Timex T5J031 Unisex Digital Fitness Heart Rate Monitor Watch
Customer Review: FIrst HRM watch
I wanted to get a read on my heart rate during my runs and when I was at rest. My rest rate is very low. The watch is easy to use and set up. The actual Monitor fits around your chest and requires a little moisture in order to pick up the Electrical Signal that makes your heart beat. If it is on snug and moistened I believe the rate to be 99% accurate. I read a lot of reviews before pciking this one the one that caught my attention was how easy it was to start using it.
Customer Review: Battery in heart rate monitor (Chest portion) dead in 2 days
I love the features of this heart rate monitor. It is a little complicated to program, and figure out everything that can be utilized, but it is manageable. The problem was that I gave this thing a good workout the second day I had it. I woke up early the next morning to head to the gym, and could not get a signal at all after strapping on the chest portion. I know sometimes people just get duds, but I was very disappointed. You don't want a downer like that when you're trying to stay motivated to achieve an exercise goal. It would be better if they had shipped the battery separately. The problem was fixed when I purchased a new 3V battery at the corner drugstore. I'm going to keep an eye on the battery life in general for this unit and will update the review accordingly. Overall decent value for the money but you might want to shop around.

Timex Men's 1440 Sports Digital Watch
The Indiglo night-light uniformly lights the surface of the watch dial using patented blue electroluminescent lighting technology. It uses less battery power than most other watch illumination systems, enabling your watch battery to last longer.
Customer Review: Horrible, horrible, most horrible.
I bought this watch because it was cheap... and I got less than I paid for. First, the countdown timer can't be set to repeat. That is, it can't be set to go off every 15 minutes. I've owned several digital watches, and I've never come across one without this basic function.
Then I took it into the ocean and it died. Those little hunks of metal at the top and bottom of the face have fallen off, and I guess that means it's not waterproof anymore. I wasn't especially rough on this watch, and I have no idea when I lost those bits of the watch.
Look elsewhere for a cheap digital watch.
Customer Review: Wonderful watch
I have gone through 3 other cheap watches this last year and this one is the one I am going to stick with. It has all the features I wanted and is still very reasonably priced.

Timex Ironman TK092 Women's Sleek Fitness Tracker Watch
Customer Review: Good watch
So far I'm happy with this watch. I wanted something that would track my distance and stop watch. There are a lot of other features, but being a marathon runner I just wanted to track distance. The pedometer clips on easy and you don't even notice it. I didn't want something that I had to clip on, but for the price and features, this watch is a good buy.

Timex T5G751 Data Recorder 2
Customer Review: An Ok Toy
The data recorder is an ok toy. I've had it cut out on me while it was supposed to be recording a couple of times. It doesn't link to the watch, so any timing infor from the watch is not kept. The PC program supplied with it is ok, would be much better if the plotted track could be coordinated with google maps or something of that sort. But it does a nice job of tracking work-outs and stores info in a very logical form. Overall I would just say that it is ok.
Customer Review: Right on track with this recorder...
This product is wonderful at recording workout data. And it easily and reliably links with your Timex chest strap.
My only gripe is that the software is not customizable to record and categorize data more toward users' needs. But it does do a great job of tracking your workout. I give it 4 of 5 stars!

Timex T5J983 Midsize Digital Fitness Heart Rate Monitor Watch
Customer Review: timex midsize digital fitness heart rate watch
I got a great deal on this watch on Amazon. This same exact watch was $80 in a nearby retail chain! It comes with a heart rate strap and counts your calories burnt, and gives you your heartrate too. It can serve as a normal watch and is lightweight too!
Customer Review: Pleasantly Surprised
I purchased this HRM over a month ago and have been using it a solid four days a week. I was willing to take a chance on the Timex instead of some of the other higher priced HRMs out there, and I'm so glad I did. It is a great product!
My only additional comment is; though its advertised as a unisex watch, my husband would never choose to ware it. Its small and too feminine looking, but works wonderfully as a ladies watch and perfect for me!

Timex Ironman T5C401 Unisex 30-Lap Digital Fitness Heart Rate Monitor Watch
Customer Review: Helpful
Easy to use. Definetly helps me to make for a more efficient work out. It even counts calories burned!
Customer Review: I like the timex HRM
I like this HRM better than my polar one for a couple of reasons. One, since it is pretty much an ironman watch, I am familiar with what the watch part can do and two, it was easy to figure out without having to read a confusing manual. The only thing I wish it had was a softer chest band like my polar has but I don't really notice it all that much.
I bought this HRM so I can have a HRM and a countdown timer which is really important for me.

Timex T5H881 Midsize Digital Fitness Heart Rate Monitor Watch
Customer Review: An excellent purchase
I bought this T5H881 HRM to help my wife began a training program. It is ease to work and it has all information she needs. She is so pleased with this product. The instruction manual was clearly written and easy to understand.
There are just enough functions for she without loading the product up with things she will never use. The use is simple and she can remember how to use it without having to refresh her memory by repeatedly rereading the manual.
The price was excellent. So, figuring out all these benefits in a Timex product I decided to buy one T5J31 HRM to me.
Customer Review: I like it
This is a great watch. It helps me greatly when I am working out. Not only does it display my heart rate, but it also gives me five different ranges to choose from. I also like the review mode where it tells me how my workout was such as max heartrate, min heartrate, average heartrate, and calories burned.
When buying it, I was a little worried that it may be too big, but it is a good size for a watch. I also misread the description and I thought the watch would download data to my computer for a graph. However, to do that it requires purchasing another product from timex that is about $80 to $100.
Overall, I would recommend it. Great watch.

Timex Ironman T5F001 Unisex 100-Lap Target Trainer Heart Rate Monitor Watch
Customer Review: Great Watch
Great Watch. I use it every day. Nice enough to wear every day to work and great for the gym. Chest strap is comfortable and I have had no problems with it. Watch is easy to use, and easy to view. Monitor seems accurate when compared to HRM's on equipment at the gym they show the same rate.
Customer Review: Great tool for Cardio workouts
Great tool to monitor your heart rate for effective cardiovascular work. Fairly user friendly set-up and instruction. I recommend it for anyone who walks, or does other cardio to keep themselves 'honest' in their workouts.

Timex Water Heater Timer
This timer is very easy to install and use. The push pull tabs that you set the off/on times with are very similar to a lamp timer. It serves it's purpose well and the only feature that someone might want that it doesn't have is variable daily settings, which you will only find on the much more expensive digital timers!

Timex Outdoor Countdown Timer
Customer Review: A neat little helper
This is a very convenient timer for operating appliances for a certain length of time. With many timers you have to set a start and stop time, but this one just dial up how long you want the item to stay on. Then there's an "always on" and a provision where it will turn items on automatically at dusk and back off at daylight.
It can be used outside and is a very useful device to have around.
Customer Review: Seems a bit flaky
I love the concept and simple (implied) ease of use of this item, but when I actually used it, it didn't work so well. Some days it worked fine but then other times it would turn on too early or too late (not at dusk as designed) or not at all.

Timex T5E011 Pedometer
Customer Review: Works good
I am very pleased with this Pedometer. It has been doing a good job accurately counting steps. So much so that we ordered another one for my wife.

Timex Ironman T59761 Midsize 30-Lap Digital Fitness Heart Rate Monitor Watch

- 30-lap memory with average heart rate per laps
- 100-hour, 3-mode countdown timer
- Alarm with 5-minute backup
- Month/day/date display with 12/24-hour time
- 2-year battery life
The Indiglo night-light uniformly lights the surface of the watch dial using patented blue electroluminescent lighting technology. It uses less battery power than most other watch illumination systems, enabling your watch battery to last longer. The Night Mode feature allows you to illuminate the Indiglo night-light for 3 seconds with any button press, regardless of the mode or function. The watch is water resistant to 50 meters (165 feet)--suitable for swimming but not for diving. All Timex heart rate monitor sensors have batteries that can be replaced by consumers without requiring them to be returned to the manufacturer.
Customer Review: Good for what I needed
I have not had any problems with this watch. It is small enough to fit my very small wrist with a hole or two left over. The chest strap is not uncomfortable, once I put it on it can be concealed easily and I don't even notice it. I have never had a problem getting a heart rate. I have not used every function yet but I do enjoy the review portion of the watch in all. I highly recommend this watch to anyone who wants something that is not too expensive, and is very user friendly.
Customer Review: swimmer
We needed to get workout watches for our swimming workouts and this watch has been really great. Everyone else that bought other name brands have been having trouble with their watches but this watch has been running perfect. Would recommend this watch.
