It features a chest strap heart rate monitor, easily accessible function buttons, and Timex's comfortable doubleshot polyurethane strap. For integrating heart rate monitoring into your training, this watch enables you to track your avareage heart rate and pre-set target heart rate zones with data for time spent within that zone and alarms.

The Indiglo night-light uniformly lights the surface of the watch dial using patented blue electroluminescent lighting technology. It uses less battery power than most other watch illumination systems, enabling your watch battery to last longer. The Night Mode feature allows you to illuminate the Indiglo night-light for 3 seconds with any button press, regardless of the mode or function. The watch is water resistant to 50 meters (165 feet)--suitable for swimming but not for diving. All Timex heart rate monitor sensors have batteries that can be replaced by consumers without requiring them to be returned to the manufacturer.
good product but... (2009-04-28)
Good product and has gives you a lot of information.
But after a year using the watch the indiglo light stop working.
I couldn't get it to function!!
Besides that I'm satisfied.
The best HR Monitor for the price (2009-04-16)
I'm the fitness professional from New York City. These two Timex models T59751 and T5C411 (out of stock for now) been my favorite for more than a year. I own both, my clients purchased these models also, and so far no one had any troubles with these monitors.
I think, functionality wise they go hand to hand with Polar ones, but price is much more affordable. And that says it all!
p.s. don't know anything about Timex customer service, because I didn't need to call them yet. Let's hope it will stay this way.
Great purchase! Worth it! (2008-12-02)
After much research, I recently purchased this item @ Amazon. I am very pleased! Light weight, small, and stylish. More importantly, it is VERY functional, easy to use (yes!) and worth the buy! I am an avid exerciser and wanted a new monitor that was accurate, user friendly and small, to assist heart rate monitoring while pregnant. This brand/model lives up to that-and I can change my own battery when needed-unlike the Polar. I have found it to be pretty accurate so far-testing it during a number of activities. This monitor seems to accurately reflect the change in heart rate-both while at rest and while exercising when pregnant (vs. not pregnant), and changes in response to activity level quite readily. Also, it has just enough information/functions, without bogging me down, and displays the information nicely-helpful while trying to read when running. Plus, the watch looks like a watch and can be worn all the time. I am glad I went with the Timex. So far it is living up to the reviews and Timex reputation. It fulfills all that I was looking for in a heart rate monitor and more. Excellent buy for the money!!
Good heart rate monitor (2008-11-29)
This is my first heart rate monitor. Very pleased so far. I have a small wrist (approx 5" circumference) and this is the right size. Anything bigger, the face would have wrapped around my wrist. I like the watch so much that I wear it everywhere even if the watch doesn't match my business casual attire. It wasn't difficult to use the features, but I had to read the manual to get my workout 'review'. I knew I had to do some reading, because I like the timer and the workout summary at the end of my workout. I still have not programmed my personal settings for max heart rate. I would recommend this product.
If this is the midsize, where is the small? Band way too large (2008-10-19)
I'm a 5'9" small-framed athlete, and I could not wear this watch. There simply weren't enough holes in the band for it to sit flush on my wrist. Not to mention the strap is looooooooooooong. I mean, comically long. My 5'7" male trainer put it on and was on one of the first holes. If your wrist is remotely small, there will be a huge excess of strap hanging off the end, and due to the design, it would look wrong if cut off. I had to return it. Too bad - the face size is nice for a woman's small wrist, but with the seemingly dozen other holes in the band, I had to wonder - if you're using the outermost hole, well that would look ridiculous. The face would then look miniscule on that wrist.
