(More customer reviews)The watch has "Triathlon" below the Ironman label, and the manual states it is a triathlon training tool. However, this monitor will not work while swimming. It is an excellent tool for cycling and running, and the review mode is very helpful in recording workout information. I called Timex when the heart rate monitor failed to function in the pool after re-reading the manual to see if the problem could be pilot error. Instead, Timex warranty personnel told me the watch did not work while swimming and was not intended to and there was nothing they could do about the problem. (Not very courteous in providing that information as well.) He also added none of the monitors will work in water. This is incorrect as Polar monitors work quite well while swimming. At the advertised price on Amazon, this is a very good value, and if you don't need it for swimming, it is very good. I bought the monitor specifically for cycling and swimming, and I still considered keeping it because the other features of the watch are excellent.

It's no longer enough to train hard; you also have to train smart if you want an edge. 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.
