    Comments about Timex Ironman Road Trainer Heart Rate Monitor - Women's:

    I use this product all the time while training for my triathlon race season. I've never had a problem with it giving me the wrong reading or anything. I've double checked it with my own reading, and it's head on. The watch and strap can be worn in the water, unlike the Garmin 405 (watch can't be in water), however, just like most other watches at this price range, the makers say that under the water, the watch won't show an accurate reading. I've only worn the heart rate monitor once in the water during my first triathlon, and I didn't get a chance to check if the heart rate reading seemed normal or not. The timer, chronograph, and review functions are great! They are so handy and easily used! I'm by no means a techie or ANYTHING. In fact I was worried I got a watch with too many bangs and whistles for me to figure out, but I got it working within 30 minutes. The review function is also great.

    I do have trouble with remembering to start the chronograph, and without starting the chronograph, none of the information about your workout is saved. If I don't get a heart rate reading immediately, then I either put on a bit of lotion on the skin where the sensor touches, or I don't do anything and just wait until I sweat a bit (the HRM sensor needs a conducting fluid on the surface of your skin in order to get your HR). Some individuals on my team even lick the sensors. You don't really need any fancy expensive conducting gel.
    Another issue I have is the alarm with the heart rate zones. I thought it would be great to have an alarm telling me when I'm in or out of my target zone. I always start the chronograph at the beginning of my workout, and my heart rate isn't up in zone 3/zone 4 yet and won't get there for about 5-10 minutes (depending on what I'm doing). So then frequently I'd have to keep touching my watch to turn the alarm off, which sounds often. So it was a real hassle when on my runs, and really I don't even use the alarm anymore. It's not hard to remember the zones for your heart rate. The watch comes with a useful packet that explains zone training too! And you can look at how long you were in your target zone in the review function after. So that is good enough for me.

    The watch looks really nice and fits even though my wrist is fairly small. I have to use the second smallest hole. The strap is very long and is for a big range of wrist widths.

    This watch is overall a great item. I've had it for about a month, and I haven't had any problems so far. It's got a great number of useful features, and has better features/reviews than other comparable HRMs from more popular companies.

      Comments about Timex Ironman Road Trainer Heart Rate Monitor - Women's:

      This was my first HR monitor and it is a great buy. It is very to use and accurate. I use it almost everyday and it has never had interference from another monitor. Although it doesn't have GPS, its a great deal for the price and all the functions it offers. I would recommend it for someone looking for a simple monitor to use at the gym or exercising outdoors.

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
