The last Polar HRM I had died and I assumed it was the battery. Nope the whole thing died. So, I decided to get a Timex this time. I liked that the watch battery has a long life and you can change it yourself, vs mail it back to Polar. Also, the chest strap takes a AAA battery!! You don't need to mail it anywhere!
The use of this HRM is a little tricky. You HAVE to use the CHRONO feature or all you get is HR, no calories, etc. Now that I figured that out, I love this HRM. It gets a signal much faster than the Polar, and it seems accurate. I love the zone feature and the recovery feature that keeps track of how much your HR drops in the 1 or 2 minutes after you stop your workout.
This HRM is SO worth the money - equal in features to HRMs that cost hundreds more. I am very satisfied with this purchase!Get more detail about Timex T5H911 Unisex Digital Fitness Heart Rate Monitor Watch.
