Timex Ironman Target Trainer Watch

I purchased this item from Amazon last week since i wanted a more advanced HRM than my current polar. Picked this one because it has all of the functionality I am looking for at an affordable price. Thought about a gps unit, but after reading the reviews i decided against it.

this is a fairly large but very handsome watch. the numbers are easy to read and indiglo makes it easy to read it at night.

A couple of gripes... nothing serious

1. setting up takes a little time. RTfm really applies here.

2. the website doesn''t teach how to use the watch''s features in any fashion. this is a complaint i have about all HRM manufacturers.

3. the gray color is really nice. go with gray it stands out.

If you are looking for a mid-level HRM. the timex target trainer is a great option.

After some fairly lengthy research and deliberation, I decided upon this HRM among various brands and options available.

Pros for the TAP target trainer-Large display with easy to read digits. Heart rate can be displayed as largest numbers in the middle or at the top above the time or chrono. Quickly links up to the heart rate upon turning it on. easy to push buttons.

Cons: The heart rate strap tends to rub a raw spot on me near its lower right corner. Not sure if this is specific to this strap and monitor, as it''s my first ever hrm. Only once has the tap function spontaneously advanced. (I have it on the medium setting). Manual is not terribly helpful, but I usually lose patience if a manual is too long.

Overall, I''m very pleased with this watch/monitor. Being familiar with other timex ironman watches did make it easier to set. I do use ultrasound/contact gel on the back of the strap for a more consistent connection to my skin. I run approx 30m/wk with this monitor.

I love the look of this watch and the functionality was top notch. However, I could not get the touch screen to function to my satisfaction so I went back to my original Timex watch which functions correctly.
