The affordable, entry-level Timex T5G941 is great for those just starting out with heart rate monitoring. This digital wristwatch-style monitor continuously tracks your heart rate via a comfortable, elastic chest strap (which fists chest sizes from 25 to 53 inches). The large, easy-to-read display recalls your activity time and average, peak, and minimum heart rate, and it includes 12/24 hour time and month/date display. It also features INDIGLO night light backlighting for use at night, up to 2 years of battery life, perforated rubbers strap, and water resistance to 30 meters (100 feet)–enabling it to withstand splashes and accidental dunks into the water, but not suitable for swimming.

works inconsistently after 4 months use - April 11, 2009
D. Baker’s experience on April 1, 2008 mirrors my own. After maintaining 115 to 120 heart rate on the treadmill it drops to 50 and then to 35.
