Happy Customer

The Timex T5G971 has proved to be a very satisfactory replacement for the 6-year old Timex Ironman Triathlon that I bought in 2003.
I like the relatively small size of the T5G971 as well as its light weight and feedback features, which provide such workout details as peak heart rate, time in the target pulse range, calories burned and recovery data. While I miss the chronograph feature of the 2003 Ironman Triathlon, its absence is not a show stopper.
The Amazon shopping experience was also very satisfactory. A day after placing the order for relatively slow shipping, I needed to accelerate the delivery time. Amazon customer service was exceptionally responsive, and I received the watch a little earlier than the revised delivery request.

Heart Rate feature only worked occasionaly. May have just been battery but they shouldn't send them out with old battery. Watch band looked very cheap. The plastic band will not last long.

Good watch

My boyfriend and I both use this monitor both running and at the gym and it tells us everything that we need to know. If you're looking for something that will keep track of your progress, look elsewhere as this monitor only deals with one workout at a time (if you start a workout, the previous session details erase). Also, if you have small wrists, the band may be too large for you. I wish this one had one more hole...

Mainly okay but it could use some improvement

The package for monitoring heart rate is okay. Not great but it does get the job done, so in that regard, it gets a thumbs up rating from me but not thumbs real high up. The chest strap is a little cumbersome to attach in that it does not do so easily. You have to get this small tooth inside the attach ring then adjust accordingly until you have a click and fit. That's a bit tenuous but perhaps par for the course? Then too, the chest strap tends to sag (Even when attached snuggly before the fact) during heavy exercise so you find yourself having to 'pull it up' so to speak to the desired location under the heart.

Next, the wrist clock/monitor itself does not register immediately. I've since gotten accustomed to this foible but in the beginning was wondering if something was amiss. Until one's heart starts to increase its activity under physical stress of some kind, all one gets is a --- on the clock face until it toggles to the time of day. My resting heart rate is about 40-44 and the unit wouldn't start tracking until I broke the 54-55 mark, so keep that in mind when you first use the device.

My workouts are usually, but not always, a combination of anaerobic (weight training) and aerobic (elyptical machine). It's helpful to know where you are with each and the monitoring device is effective in each instance. Intersting to note that the aerobic machine I use at the gym automatically senses the chest strap readings and its pulse rate reports are consistent with the wrist monitor. I think, given a choice to unring the purchase, I might opt for the wrist type only readout device but, having no experience with those or their accuracy, am 'kind of' pleased with this unit.
