Amazon.com Product Description

The technologically advanced Timex T5B501 Speed + Distance digital watch not only helps you monitor your sports training with a variety of sport timekeeping features, it also offers GPS tracking capabilities. With the included Navman I GPS sensor, you'll be able to precisely track how far and how fast you are running, biking, skiing, or rowing. The splash-resistant Navman has a 99 percent distance accuracy and features a continuous odometer and 28-hour battery life from 2 AA batteries. Tracking features include:

• Exact Speeds: Measures your real-time speed, average speed, and maximum speed
• Exact Pace: Calculates your pace, average pace, and best pace
• Exact Distance: Tracks your workout distance and give target distance alerts

But don't forget, the Timex Speed + Distance device is also a powerful timekeeping device, featuring a 100-hour chronograph, 50-lap memory with recall, 100-hour/3-mode countdown timer, and separate daily/weekday/weekend alarms. It also features water resistance to 30 meters (99 feet) and a 2-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.

4.0 out of 5 stars A nice training tool, November 2, 2006

This review is from: Timex Speed + Distance System GPS Watch (Watch)

A convient product once I got used to how it works and what it does. I am still finding new features it has. It does loose its connection fairly easily when near tall buildings or uder tress for a few minutes. I lost about two and half miles of a half marathon because of the buildings in the San Francisco. That was diappointing! My usual runs are in open areas, so for training puposes it is a nice tool.

I've owned this for almost four months now with no problems whatsoever. It takes about three minutes for the GPS to sync up (while I stretch) and off you go. I use it for pacing (i.e. telling me that I'm running an 8 minute and 14 second mile) it also gives speed and distance in both US and metric.

This review is from: Timex Speed + Distance System GPS Watch (Watch)

Instructions were not very clear on how to read the watch in the different modes. I had to figure out 6'10" means 6 minutes and 10 seconds. Also, the watch ALWAYS takes 5 minutes to sync with satellite. Instructions say that this would only happen with first usage of the watch. Otherwise it is a very good watch for keeping acurate time and distance. The digital display is easy to read.
