review © 2010. Basically, we have taken the spec from the EVER POPULAR 59761 and 59751 and added just a few comments. Same applies to the new Timex 5h881 and Timex 5j983 digital heart rate monitors. These are the best, general purpose / serious runner
/ gym user heart rate monitor Timex have made. The Timex Fitness heart rate monitor has everything a useful
HRM should have. This includes, calories, to let you know just how hard
you are working, great for preventing over training, a stopwatch with
27 laps and splits, with average HR per lap, heart rate zone alarm,
to keep you exercising at the optimum intensity, super simple navigation,
and plenty more. It is uses digital transmission for the chest unit
to the watch unit, so it is 100% interference/crosstalk free. You could
wear this surrounded by heart rate monitor users and you would not have
a problem.
SORRY - SOLD OUT - we will NOT be restocking this item
Please consider a Polar Rs100 or a Suunto T1C
We
give this heart rate monitor a very healthy 9/10 for style, size, functionality
and value for money.
