I bounght this HRM to replace one which I liked a great deal but which broke irrevocably. I did not take enough time to determine what it showed and did on its screen, since the 2-3 I've owned had all been satisfactory in the past and I naively thought this one would be as well.
I am very disappointed in that the screen shows only heart rate (when set) and does not give you the option to see real time when you are exercising. You can hold the button to see elapsed time, but this does not remain on the screen. Therefore, it is hard to do intervals, see when it's time to go home, etc.
I also have found this watch takes a great deal of sweat to begin transmission. I know that the band can be moistened to short-circuit this, but I have not had the problem in the past, since I perspire a fair amount.
Lastly, the calorie counts seem extremely low. I'll go on the treadmill (interval jogging) for 40 minutes and come out with @ 150 calories burned, though I've gone more than 2 miles.
The good stuff? Clear display, rugged watch, comfy band.Get more detail about Timex T5G971 Unisex Sports Personal Heart Rate Monitor Watch.
