Timex T5G971 Unisex Sports Personal Heart Rate Monitor Watch

Product Details

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 watch is water resistant to 30 meters (100 feet), which protects it from rain and water splashes. All Timex heart rate monitor sensors have batteries that can be replaced by consumers without requiring them to be returned to the manufacturer.

Product Reviews

(4 stars) - Keeps HR accurately, and helps in bike training
I have used this product over the last 2 months, as a training tool for mountain biking. It has been keeping my HR without any issues, allowing me to use HR zones as a motivating tool. Pretty cool watch - also water-proof. My wife also uses it while walking, to check calories burned. Good buy.

(4 stars) - Great monitor!
I bought this heart rate monitor a few weeks ago to help aid my workouts. Personally, I was most interested in the calorie burning feature. I picked this monitor because I have had good fortune with other Timex products, the reviews were good, and this monitor allowed me to put in my weight for a more accurate reading.

Overall, I really love this product. I am able to use it for my own interests, and appreciate that there are tons of other options that I can utilize if I decide to do so in the future (such as alarms for going below a certain heart rate). I have had no problem getting the sensors to work, and have no other issues with the watch.

The only reason this isn't a 5 star review is the lack of instructions. The instructions are very step by step for most settings. However, the manual does not tell you how to set your weight. I am not all that electronically inclined, but I was able to figure it out after fiddling with the buttons for a few minutes. If I remembered what I did, I would post it. I think I had to hit the recall button. Anyway, it didn't end up being that difficult to figure out, but it is a problem.

I highly recommend this product.

(1 stars) - Very Inaccurate Calorie Calculation
I bought this product and am very disappointed by its inflated calories-burned calculator. It doesn't ask for gender or age. Do your research. The calorie calculator is worthless.

(4 stars) - Timex Heart Monitor
I am using the Timex T5G971 personal heart rate monitor. I find it is easy to use and is very accurate when I have compared it to other heart rate monitors. My only complaint is that I have been unable to get the audio alarm to work.

(4 stars) - Timex T56971 Heart Rate Monitor -- Good Buy
I've just had this HR monitor for about a month, but have been VERY satisfied with it. I find it easy to use the options/settings (sometimes have my kids change settings on products that are not intuitively easy to program). It also hasn't picked up on other neighboring HR monitors so far, something I found to be a problem with my last monitor. Would recommend!
