It doesn't matter how much and how hard you train, if you are not using a device like the Timex T5G971 Heart Rate Monitor then you can never be really sure that your training is effective enough. Timex may be better known for their line in fancy watches, but they have also carved a space for themselves in the Heart Rate Monitor industry and are seen by many as industry leaders.]

This 1 Heart Rate Monitor is the latest in a long line of similar devices. It offers a very comfortable chest strap, essential for accurate heart rate readings. Additionally, in comparison to it's competitors, the T5G971 has a removable batter cover in the chest strap, which means that you don't have to send it back to Timex every time you need to change batteries. Not only will this save you time, it will save you money as you can easily purchase watch batteries in bulk.

The Timex T5G971 also stands head and shoulders above the rest with it's price. This watch boasts a price almost half that of other companies models available. So for less money, you get the expertise and craftsmanship of Timex.

One thing that Timex have always been known for is the durability of their timepieces, the T5G971 shows that they provide that same standard with their other devices. This watch meets the wide range of circumstances and conditions in which you may be performing. Whether working out happens in the water or in rainy conditions via hillwalking and endurance racing, this watch will keep monitoring you with it's 100 feet worth of waterproofing. If you are a early dawn or late dusk runner, this heart monitor also includes a powerful Indigo night-light so that you can see exactly how well your workout is going no matter the visibility.

Important as all this is, a heart rate monitor should be judged on it's ability to do just that, monitor your heart. This watch excels in this criteria with 2 great functions in particular. The first is that of alarms that you can set to your target heart rate and pulse rate, so that the piece will inform you if you go above or below and when you reach that specific rate. The second is essential if you are not always working out where a pen and paper is close by, but need to keep a record of your heart rate per day or routine. This is in the form of a internal memory that will record your heart rate, so that when you are preparing for further workouts, you can refer back to the notes on the previous one.

Unisex branding is becoming more necessary as men and women require the same range of equipment. Old-fashioned sensibilities meant that certain devices were aimed towards a specific gender. This watch throws this out of the window, realizing that men and women will both want a great heart rate monitor. Thus, this watch comes in a very appealing to both genders coloring and style. With a chest strap that is designed to be comfortable for most average sized users, regardless of gender.

Looking at this review, suggests that this item is flawless. It isn't. The main bone of contention is with the chest strap itself rather than the actual heart rate monitor. People have noted problems with the chest strap reading heart rates and the fact that the fits-most size doesn't accommodate bigger figures. While not a lot can be done for the sizing until Timex release the follow-up, a helpful tip with the nodes picking up a signal is that you may need to moisten your chest to increase the conductivity, and if you have a lot of chest hair, you may have to consider shaving.

To summarize, the Timex T5G971 is a great addition to your already existent sports and fitness equipment. It offers all that the name Timex encompasses in style and durability with very accurate readings and a user friendly design. In addition the retail price of this heart monitor means that it should be considered carefully ahead of it's main rivals.
