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.
Great watch!October 24, 2008 Excellent watch! Very accurate GPS that tracks pace well and does not lose signal. As mentioned, it does take a few minutes to link up the GPS, but once it is linked up, it works perfectly. My only complaint is that it is a unisex watch - but the wrist strap is pretty big for a medium frame woman. As a woman, even the smallest size is a little bit loose. I contacted Timex to see if I could exchange the wrist strap for a smaller one, and apparently the wrist strap it comes with is the only one that fits on the watch. In the end I decided I liked everything else about the watch so much, that I didn't mind a little slipping around.
Just not very accurateOctober 24, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I have been using this product for the last month on marathon training runs. I find that the GPS is not very accurate and the distance measure tends to drift high. For example, on my last 20 mile run the GPS was off by about 1 1/2 miles; it was accurate for some of the trip but gave me readings too high on certain segments. (I was running along a river with little interference from trees or large buildings so I don't have an easy explanation). Other than that the heart rate monitor works fine and the watch functionality is good.
Love this itemSeptember 30, 2008 I haven't used the GPS locator yet but I have used the heart rate monitor several times and love it.
Works as advertisedSeptember 28, 2008 I am training for a marathon and this has been the perfect watch. It has been excellent at halping me pace my runs as well as measuring distances without having to drive the runs in my car for accurate distances. Highly recommend this.
Great for a beginnerSeptember 23, 2008 I really like this watch, as a person who use to run and then stopped and now am going to pick it up again, I've read that this is the tool to use to monitor one's training. The watch is straight forward, as Timex watches tend to be. The only caveat, to me, is the synchronization of the GPS to the watch, I seem only to be able to sync the GPS first, then the heart monitor, not the other way around, but that is no major issue, once all is in sync, it works like a charm. Battery life is as expected for an electronic gadget that one uses, real-world scenario: the more you use it, the faster the batteries will drain, even with that, I would recommend it to everyone.
