their "intensity" from one of 5 training zones, approx 55,
65, 75, 85, 95% effort.

specific with your heart rate intensity

timer. Times heart beats recovered over 1 or 2 minutes. This is a
great indicator of improving fitness.

An accurate and consistent calorie counting calculator based on actual

average and minimum heart rate per session.

set. Average HR splits will give an accurate average per lap / segment

BHIP
review © 2005. This is the best, general purpose / serious runner
/ gym user heart rate monitor Timex have made. It 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
30 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.
We
give this heart rate monitor a very healthy 9/10 for style, size, functionality
and value for money.
Polar
F11 versus Timex 5C411/59751 : We are often asked which is
best between these two models. The answer is.. both are great for the
right end user. The Polar F11 is for the user who wants their heart
rate monitor to set, manage, monitor and feedback on their training
progress. It will prescribe exercise duration, intensity and frequency,
all you then have to do is follow the Keep U Fit programme. The Timex
range of 30 lap IronMan heart rate monitors are for the user who already
knows what they want to do, they just want the watch to manage/monitor
each session. It also has a "proper" stopwatch with laps and
splits, great for 5K, 10K, Marathon runners who want to split the mile
/ km times with average heart rate per lap/km/mile. The closest
product from Polar to this model is the Polar
RS100
