Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is my first heart rate monitor and after a lot of searching, I selected this one. I am not a Tri-athlete Olympian, just an average guy who runs about 3 times a week. So I wanted something an average person would actually use. I wanted to improve my running ability and heard a HR monitor was the way to go. I checked out other brands such as Nike and Polaris, but they all seemed too complicated and bulky. That being said, I was looking for a basic, easy to use (Not complex), inexpensive, and sturdy HR monitor. Well the Timex 5C411 fit all of my criteria. This HR monitor is very easy to use and aesthetically pleasing as well. The basic functions can be learned very quickly (Especially for anyone who's owned a Timex Ironman watch). I got them down after one use. Can't beat the price and Timex is known for "Takes a licking and keeps on ticking."There is only one thing I wish was a little different. When using the chronograph, the HR appears in small numbers above the counting time which makes it just a hair difficult to see when you want to view your lap time and your HR. However, if you cycle through the menus back to the main time screen, your HR takes the place of the normal time and appears in large, easy to see numerals (just a minor observation). So far it works great and I am very pleased with the purchase.
