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--and the GPS sensor is splash resistant. All Timex heart rate monitor sensors have batteries that can be replaced by consumers without requiring them to be returned to the manufacturer.

I bought this item thinking it would be a great training aid. Step one was to insert the battery into the case on the GPS unit. It took me half an hour and very sore fingers to get the battery door shut after inserting the battery! Thinking at least I probably wouldn't have to do it that often, I then read in the manual it needs to be replaced after 12 hours! No way am I going to do that battle so often. Also, the unit took forever to pick up satellites on the two occasions when I tried to use it and the arm strap for the GPS unit is quite short. Not a user friendly device. I returned it and bought a Garmin Forerunner 305 instead. I love it! It is easy to use, quickly picks up satellites and is very comfortable to wear, even on a small wrist like mine. I've used it twice since I received it two days ago, once on a 9.5 mile run and am so happy with it. The computer software works beautifully on my Mac. It is also quite a bit less expensive than the Timex. Buy a Garmin, you'll be much happier with it.

I read all the reviews here and echo them - this watch is great. It lets you run without worrying about a route...just run and let the GPS calculate how far you've gone.
Another neat feature is the hands-free. I set it and it logs the split times at every lap. Great feature.
I checked Ebay, and found one new for $155, so check there if you're looking for a deal. Ebay, of course, is hit or miss, and there is more risk involved.

This watch is awesome. I had a Garmin forerunner 305, and while that had some small perks over this one such as computer connectivity, it was HUGE, and it needed to be charged all the time. Also, the TIMEX is way easier to use and program.
This watch is fairly small (they have a smaller version but it is hard to read while running) and the battery life is great.
I especially like the dual timers, the fact that all functions can be synd with each other.
I run ultra marathons and am in the Army, and I have started to use this all the time.
The finish timer is great for races, and it helped me to push myself to keep a faster pace than I would have otherwise.

very good product, I bought it mainly for the heart monitor but it has many other good functions that I've yet to use.
