Timex T5J983 Midsize Digital Fitness Heart Rate Monitor Watch

Combining stylish looks with power sport timing and heart rate monitoring features, this mid-sized Timex Digital Fitness watch (model T5J983) can be worn by both men and women. It features a chest strap heart rate monitor, easily accessible function buttons, durable resin case, and comfortable resin strap with a stylish tapered profile. For integrating heart rate monitoring into your training, this watch enables you to track your avareage heart rate and pre-set target heart rate zones with data for time spent within that zone and alarms. It can also display data for calories burned and offers a recovery timer that measures your heart rate after a timed recovery during or after your workout. Sport timing features include:
  • 100-hour chronograph with lap and split, either in large digits
  • 27-lap memory with average heart rate per laps
  • 100-hour countdown timer
  • Alarm with 5-minute backup
  • Month/day/date display with 12/24-hour time
  • 3.5-year battery life

The Indiglo night-light uniformly lights the surface of the watch dial using patented blue electroluminescent lighting technology. It uses less battery power than most other watch illumination systems, enabling your watch battery to last longer. The Night Mode feature allows you to illuminate the Indiglo night-light for 3 seconds with any button press, regardless of the mode or function. The watch is water resistant to 50 meters (165 feet)--suitable for swimming but not for diving. All Timex heart rate monitor sensors have batteries that can be replaced by consumers without requiring them to be returned to the manufacturer.


Customer Review: timex midsize digital fitness heart rate watch
I got a great deal on this watch on Amazon. This same exact watch was $80 in a nearby retail chain! It comes with a heart rate strap and counts your calories burnt, and gives you your heartrate too. It can serve as a normal watch and is lightweight too!
Customer Review: Pleasantly Surprised
I purchased this HRM over a month ago and have been using it a solid four days a week. I was willing to take a chance on the Timex instead of some of the other higher priced HRMs out there, and I'm so glad I did. It is a great product! My only additional comment is; though its advertised as a unisex watch, my husband would never choose to ware it. Its small and too feminine looking, but works wonderfully as a ladies watch and perfect for me!

Customer Review: Skip this watch.
This watch isn't it. I can't see the display. Also, I can only set alarms for daily, weekdays, and weekdays. There's no setting an alarm for a specific day of the week. I guess Timex is getting too big for its britches.
Customer Review: Great Watch,but...
Yes it is a great watch with all its features,but it is slightly thick too.

Customer Review: Digital or ANALOG
It's a really cute watch, indeed, but I just have ONE issue with the seller... LEARN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A DIGITAL WATCH AND AN ANALOG WATCH!!! DIGITAL means having an LED face with changing numbers... ANALOG watches have the ROUND DIAL FACE surrounded by stationery numbers and marks, accompanied by moving hands. Most people learned about it in kindergarten...

Customer Review: great watch.
I don't agree with the other reviewer. The wrist band is fine. It's been about 1.5 years and the band hasn't shown any signs of failing. I guess if you strangle your wrist with the watch then it might not last so long. Onto the review. I like this watch. Its got three alarms which I need. Other features are easy to use and adjust. Well what else can I say. I'm satisfied.
Customer Review: Watch is OK If You Can Wear It
The watch is fine, but the watchband is resin (plastic) and like others I have owned, break within a year or so from normal flexing. Mine did and I cannot find a replacement band in stores or online. Thus 2 stars because the watch works, the band doesn't.
