Don't waste your money. I have had this product for about 5 years. I have had the GPS receiver replaced. I have to replace batteries after every fourth use or it quits in the middle of the run. It quits in the forest preserve. It quits in the middle of a city. It quits in the open country of Kansas. It quits in the middle of almost every run I take. I run at least three marathons each year and it drops the GPS on at least two. Find something else. I am forced to give it one star, which it doesn't deserve.
Rating: - Timex say it ain't so!
I have always loved Timex watches, so my decision to pick this watch over the Suunto and Garmin was not a difficult choice. Unfortunately, I am less than impressed. The watch itself is fine, but I don't like the indiglo because it is not very bright. There is plenty of data that can be analyzed, but there is just something about the system that is no good. The GPS unit is finicky and doesn't always connect for me. The data recorder is small which is nice, but it is a pain to start the gps, watch, and data recorder and then run. There has to be a better way. The data recorder is a MAJOR disappointment when connecting to my PC. The cable is like a early 90s computer cable instead of usb that plugs IN the recorder. I have to connect the usb and squeeze the recorder to the cable with BOTH hands and hold it until it connects and downloads data. Sometimes this takes several attempts and often I have to start over when the recorder disconnects in mid download. The software is not very impressive either. I hate to say it... no it pains me to say it, don't buy this item. You have been warned.
Rating:  - Slightly flawed, but irreplaceable for serious training.
First, this has completely taken my training to a whole new level. I'm a medium distance runner training now for a half marathon. After using the speed & distance & heart rate monitor many times, I've started to get very familiar with where my heart rate should be if I'm going to have enough left to go the distance. And being able to see my pace in real time pushes me to make sure that I have *just* enough left, and not a bit more. My improvements in speed have been dramatic.
In terms of the actual product and features, I'd rate this as very good. The speed & distance GPS unit is extremely accurate. It takes a bit longer than I'd like (about a minute) to lock on to the satellites, but that's not a real problem, just a minor annoyance. Also, once, I fell after twisting my ankle. I stopped the chrono while I walked it off, then started it again when I started running. All of a sudden, though, I was doing 2' 55" miles. Needless to say, something was wrong. I stopped and started the chrono a couple more times, but still got similar readings. It wasn't until I stopped and restarted the GPS 45 minutes (and an alleged 15 miles) later that my pace started reading something realistic. That's only happened once.
The heart rate monitor works fantastically. I got a couple of spikey readings (240 bpm down to 0bpm back up to 240bpm) the first time I used it right at the very beginning. But I suspect that had more to do with the fact that I was still adjusting it on my chest ... Read More
Rating:  - I works but could be better
The watch and the data collection device operate independantly. This leads to the timings on the watch and the data collection device to be differant based on when you start and stop either device. It would be nice if I could get both units in synch. The software gives you a lot of data, but could be more flexable and intuitive. I'm finding the best way to manipulate the data is to copy it to XL. The heart monitor at times seems to be widely inaccurate. For example, it has shown my heart rate from time to time spiking to 240 bpm, which obviously is not right.
It may seem that I'm negative about this product, but I am actually having fun with it. Except for the occasional inaccurate heart rate readings, the data is great. I have found the speed and distance numbers to be very accurate. And for the most part I am glad I purchased it.
