Timex T5G971 Unisex Sports Personal Heart Rate Monitor Watch

One of the common reasons for using a heart rate monitor is when people need to watch their heart rate very closely. Sometimes the heart rate needs to stay below a certain percent of max, and this is when the Timex T5G971 Unisex Sports Personal Heart Rate Monitor Watch is a great tool.

Other benefits of using a heart rate monitor include improving the efficiency and intensity of your workout. You can control how hard you want your body to work by monitoring your heart rate. Here are some of the features of the T5G971:

This heart rate monitor watch allows you to continuously track your heart rate during a workout. You can set pre-set target heart rate zones which makes it easy to keep the intensity of your workout consistent. If you leave the pre-set zone an alarm will sound.

The watch will also record the total time of activity, your average heart rate, and peak heart rate.

The T5G971 uses less power than most monitors which allows for longer battery life. It is also water resistant up to 30 meters (100 feet) which keeps it safe from rain and water splashes.

Knowing your max heart rate is important when using a heart rate monitor. The easiest way to calculate this is take 220 - Your Age. For example, a person that is 20 years old would have a max heart rate of 200 BPM (Beats per Minute).

This is definitely one of the greatest value in the market and an excellent performing heart monitor. The instructions for setting the watch were good and starting up with the chest strap was as easy as can be. The timer, time in zone, average heart rate and recovery rate is more than I needed. Excellent value!

I love this heart rate monitor. It is reliable, the watch is comfortable, easy to read and easy to use. When working out on a stationary bike, treadmill or elliptical trainer, the machines easily read the hr accurately. I have had to switch to a Polar because of an online fitness-tracking plan at my health club, otherwise I would gladly stick with this watch. This is a great watch for anybody who just wants to track hr, calories, etc. I would definitely recommend this or buy it as a gift. A great basic monitor.

This is a wonderful heart rate monitor. It checks my pulse very quickly and accurately, and updates rapidly. It is compatible with most of the aerobic machines in my gym, so I can keep my arms pumping my elliptical. The chest strap is rugged (and waterproof, like the watch). And the watch is VERY durable. I've whacked it hard, and it works fine.

I'm sure many of the other heart rate monitors are also great, but I am very happy I picked this one. I thought the name brand would translate into high quality and durability, and I was right.

As a bonus, the huge numbers make the watch easy to read. I have a much fancier gold and leather watch that I never bother to wear. I leave this thing on my arm at the office. It's only a basic watch (and lacks a true stopwatch for some reason), but I LOVE THIS WATCH.
