Timex Personal Trainer Heart Rate Monitor T5G971

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...

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.
