Great MonitorSep 15, 2008
This watch works great. My only issue is that I accidentally hit the stopwatch button and stop my workout time. The heart rate monitor is very accurate. I would buy this again.

Solid HR MonitorAug 12, 2008
I have been using this HR monitor for about 11 months, and it's been fairly reliable; however, I did need to replace the chest strap device through Timex. The replacement has been working ever since. Of the three HR monitors I've had, this is the most reliable. I run about 30-40 miles a week, and I always wear it. I'm a database nerd, and I've been able to use the data from the watch to compile some useful information on my running progress.
High points:
- Calculates calories
- Easy menus and setup
- Gives me just enough information (one HR monitor I tried with GPS just had too many options).
- Review setting is nice
Low points:
- Occassionally it will "flip out" (instead of it being 144 or 148 it will sometimes go down to 118 or up to 184). This happens only every once in awhile.
- Display is only 2 lines. This is a smaller watch. 3 lines would be better so I'd be able to see my HR, total time, and split time.
I purchased the data recorder, but I don't use it anymore. The software is somewhat useless. It seems more suited to a fitness test that would be useful for a medical assessment.
If this watch had a 3-line display it would be perfect. As for the issues with the strap needing to be replaced, it seems like that's just how these things "work." I had a Nike model (junk) and another more expensive Timex (sent it back) that did not work as well as this model.

Overall, very goodAug 01, 2008
Overall, I am pleased with this. It works much better in wooded areas than the previous generation and is generally very accurate for distance, average speed/pace. The only complaint I have is that it is uncomfortable to wear on my thin wrists. I have to wear a wrist band under it.
 Works Well - Here's An Additional TipJul 29, 2008
Everything has worked as expected on this watch. I'm writing the review mainly because there were some comments about the watch losing the heart rate sensor signal from time to time, and I think I may have the answer on how to avoid that.
I've only used it once so far, but it never lost the signal during my run. From what I have gathered from other reviews, the problem is most often experienced when the heart rate sensor's battery is low. I have also gathered that many reviewers found that the battery life was quite short. The manual is generally good, but does not ever mention how to turn OFF the heart rate monitor on the watch. If you press and hold the "HEART RATE" button (bottom right button), it will make the watch stop monitoring the heart rate. I presume that if you fail to do this, and you store the watch and the sensor together, the two will communicate continuously and thus run out the battery very quickly.
I make sure to turn the watch off, and plan to keep the watch and the sensor separated so as to avoid this possibility. I will also be sure to update my review should I end up having any troubles despite these efforts. But for now, this watch has worked as it should, and has great features.
I would agree, by the way, with the other reviewers that noted that this watch is a little on the small side. I had no intention of wearing the watch except during runs, so it didn't matter to me. In fact, I liked that it was not as bulky as so many other monitors. However, if I were to wear this on a daily basis, I'd definitely want it to be a large size from a style standpoint. That being said, the display is plenty large for reading the information at a quick glance while running.

 doesn't workJul 21, 2008
The watch works but the HRM function stopped working and it was not the battery. It only worked for 3-4 days, then nothing. Don't buy this product!
