So many amazing heart rate monitors have been created ever since Timex was introduced into the fitness world. They are, in my opinion, some of the most underpriced gadgets around. They boast a few of the most unique features existing today.

These heart monitors were built for those people who take their workouts and exercises seriously. This Timex heart rate monitor review will explain 2 of the most valuable Timex heart rate monitors that are proven to work.

The T5J031

This heart monitor was designed for people who take their training seriously. However, it functions well with those who don't take their workouts to heart. Many Timex heart rate monitor review articles fail to mention the characteristics that everyone likes about it. So here they are:

• Alarm with 5 minute backup

• 27 lap memory with average heart rate per laps

• 100-hour chronograph with lap and split. Both available in large digits as well

• 3 and a half year battery life, etc

This is, in my point of view, one of the most handy heart rate monitors available today! It possesses all the characteristics, mentioned above and more, required to help you take your training up a level.

I've owned this Timex model for some time and a few problems I discovered with this one is that if you are new to owning a HRM then it would take a couple of weeks, if not months, in order for somebody new to get used to this.

Timex T5G971

There are so many Timex heart rate monitor review articles about this particular HRM. Some users admire it and some do not. Nonetheless, the T5G971 was made for individuals who go on regular jogs and are only looking to keep fit and healthy and take things slow. Here are some of its renowned features:

• Measures your calories burned

• Has a Recovery heart rate timer

• Workout Review

• Heart rate sensor with adjustable strap

• Analog transmission communicates with fitness equipment

• Displays the percentage of your max heart rate

The only flaw I have come across with this heart rate monitor is that it, from time to time, gives an inaccurate reading of the amount of calories I burn and my heart rate bpm. Despite that, it's nothing that can't be fixed. All in all, it is a cheap HRM and it does the job so it is more than worth the money.
