Timex
Ironman 5F011 Heart Rate Monitor (optional Speed + Distance monitor)
Of all the Timex
Bodylink / Ironman - heart rate monitors the Timex IronMan 5F011 is the one that most suits
athletes - fitness enthusiasts. Runners, cyclists, fell runners, joggers,
rowers, triathletes etc, will all benefit from the inclusion of 8x (eight)
heart rate training zones and 4 x interlinked countdown timers (for
intervals), with additional warm up and cool down timers. Optionally,
if used with the new 3D GPS unit, the Timex 5F011 can provide both vertical and horizontal
performance data including altitude.
This unit has
the same functionality as the Timex 5F001,
just a different case and it comes WITH the 3D GPS unit. The Timex 5F001
has "optional" 3D GPS.
BHIP
COMMENT : Timex have 100% got it all together in this great modular
unit. They have added multi heart rate zone training, interval sessions
and 3D functionality. A combination of heart rate zones, optional speed
/ pace zones, auto-lapping, time based intervals plus Finish Time predictor
(when using GPS 3D unit) make this unit truly universal for all outdoor
sports. For fitness training, the best new feature is the FINISH
TIME predicor. You tell it you are running a 10K, it works out your
finish time based on current speed and distance travelled so far. This
is continually updated while you run to help you achieve your PB. To
use this feature, you must purchase the optional GPS unit.
