Timex Zone Trainer Digital Heart Rate Monitor (Mid Size)

I''ve been wanting a tool that could log my calories while working out and heart rate monitors were highly recommended. As a fat kid, I was also excited to have an alarm go off in the event that I was about to drop dead. While that hasn''t happened, I''ve had the watch alert me several times that I wasn''t working hard enough and falling below my "zone." This has been incredibly helpful for getting the most out of my workouts. Now, the calorie count is awfully high. I''d like to believe it, but I just don''t. Based on online calculators for calories burned based on average heart rate, this watch shows about double what I should actually be burning. So, the watch isn''t great for what I actually purchased it for. However, since I''ve been able to increase the intensity of my workouts and get a better calorie burn, I''m still giving it 4 out of 5 stars. I just divide my calories burned by half for tracking purposes.

I was looking for a heart rate monitor to track the calories when I started doing insanity. I know that Polar is the most popular heart rate monitor and a lot of people recommend it however the issues that I have found with the brand is the inability to change the batteries. Also when I read reviews on them a lot of people had problems and after the one year warranty ran out their heart rate monitors died.

I was looking for something simple. Something that would just tell me what my heart rate was during the workout, what my max and minimum was, average and of course the calories burned. This one caught my eye because it was inexpensive and no-frills and did just what I wanted it to do. I have been using it for a few months now and I like it because it gets the job done. It also makes me push myself harder to try and stay within the "zone" that I have set thus increasing my calorie burn.

If you are looking for a simple, no-frills heart rate monitor that simply tracks calories and your heart rate then I recommend this. If you need something that''s a bit more fancy and has more bells and whistles then I suggest you look elsewhere because this definitely isn''t it.

Bought to replace similar model. Fits me perfectly. Fairly straightforward to set up. Easy to change the battery on the chest band. The first one I had would have probably lasted longer if I didn''t try to change the watch battery myself--learned the hard way that is best left to a professional jeweler! Overall, suits my purposes of monitoring my heart rate and recovery while cycling.

Works great so far. I''ve had at least three of these HRM''s and they never last more than one year. I know, I keep buying them anyway because they are easy to use and work great while they''re working...
