I wanted an HRM that did just one thing: told me what me heart rate was. I don't need to recall anything, or download anything, or to know my heart's recovery time, or to time laps; just give me a device to do what it is supposed to do, do it well, and do it simply. I have had both Garmin and Polar HRMs which have worked well enough but had many more bells an whistles than I would ever use, and only added what was, for me, unnecessary and unwanted complexity. This Timex is perfect for what it is: a heart rate monitor. I like the fact that I can chose the display mode, either having the time in large digits, with the heart rate smaller, or display heart rate in large digits, with the time smaller, or just the heart rate.
The transmitter is the familiar chest strap, just wet the contacts and put it on. The transmitter transmits reliably and the monitor receives the signal no matter where or how far away my wrist is. Another feature that I like, and was the final deal maker, is that I can change the transmitter's battery myself. No messing around sending it back to the factory which means having to pay for shipping and handling and doing without the monitor for however long it takes.
Overall, the device is simplicity itself and does a great job.
