Enter the Timex Ironman Race Trainer digital heart rate monitor watch, which gives elite athletes the performance tools they need to succeed. The Race Trainer's primary function is to monitor your average heart rate and tell you whether to boost your intensity or take it slower. However, the watch also offers several more sophisticated tools, including a 10-workout memory, a 50-lap chronograph that calculates your average heart rate per lap, and five interval timers with individual heart rate target zones. The tools combine to make serious training seriously easy. And thanks to the Race Trainer's wireless Data Xchanger USB, you can customize your HRM and watch settings, upload workouts directly to your PC, or use training and nutrition software powered by TrainingPeaks.

This review is from: Timex Ironman Men's Race Trainer Heart Rate Monitor Watch, Black/Grey, Full Size (Sports)
I've been using a Polar F11 for years now, and I've stuck with it despite the difficulty in changing the battery and in navigating its menus because Polar came out with the fabric chest straps a while ago, and they are great. However, the battery died recently, and the thought of hassling with the battery change yet again was so discouraging that I researched other HRMs and bought this Timex. I have used Ironman watches for a few years and have been so happy with them that the Ironman HRM seemed promising. After a few uses, I'm quite happy with the purchase. A few nice aspects: the data is much easier to read than on my Polar. You can make your HR, HR percent, elapsed time, or time dominant and quite large while still having the other data displayed. The Illuminight works well. The watch is pretty good-looking (whereas the Polar was pretty ugly. Polar's facelift of the higher end models in the last year or two hasn't helped much in my opinion). The menus are much more intuitive than Polar's. The chest strap, while less comfortable than Polar's fabric one, is fine. The ventilated band breathes well. I haven't tried changing the batteries yet, but it has to be far easier than with the Polar, which is a bad joke. I also love the count-down timer, which I use to time my resting periods while lifting weights. On the negative side, the Polar would blink and/or beep when your HR was out of your prescribed range. I know my zone 3 numbers, so it's not a big deal. The main negative is the band. If it breaks (as one of my Ironmans did), you have to replace the whole watch. It's integrated into the watch body. I plan to be gentle in taking it off and on in order to reduce wear and tear. My old Ironman broke at the point where the band would get folded back when inserting the buckle's tab. Also, if you are a data freak, my understanding is that Polar's ability to download, etc. is better. I'm into knowing my numbers while on the bike and after the workout, but I don't keep records, so I can't speak to that feature. Overall, A-.
