I ordered this watch thinking it measured pulse rate, in other words that it is it is a HRM (heart rate monitor). It certainly is not. In order to get heart rate you must count pulses yourself and divide with the built-in calculator. In other words it is a calculator watch not a HRM. I'm sure the other functions are fine and it is a good looking watch, but totally useless as a HRM during exercise.

As a result, I returned this watch and ordered another version from Timex that is a true HRM. It works as advertised!

I've seen a lot of reviews for this watch on both sides of the fence. I figured I would buy it and have it be a good start. I like the alarms, and I really like the backlight for the watch. It's not too bright or too dark. But, this is marked wrong for how many settings it has, as said before. It only has 10 presets instead of twelve. Aside from that, it sits comfortably on the wrist & is overall a nice watch. Buyers beware though, this is NOT a HRM! It is a PULSE CALCULATOR!

I love my new watch! The functions are easy to use, the design is sporty and it really is waterproof. The plastic (resin) strap is comfortable and does not stick to your skin. I've had many timex watches over the years and I have been consistently satisfied with their products.

Easy to use watch with large enough numbers to read! It includes the date too which is a necessity for me.

I've had this watch before but in a different color. I had light blue, and my only problem with it was that the band became discolored after a short time and there was no way to clean it. The black color is great. The watch has tons of great features; I use the timer on a daily basis. Overall a great purchase.

Tried to find a replacement for another Timex I have had for years, and this met my criteria as it is very similar to my old watch.
What I like about this watch is it's:
1. Ease of operation
2. Great features, such as date, timer(which I use a lot),alarm,pulse check & stop watch.
3. Not overly large and looks good.

This is a fine watch, but it is not as described on either amazon.com or timex.com.

The watch is described as having 12 preset timers. It does not. It only has 10. The 15 and 30 second preset timers are missing from this watch.

I bought a similar wathch from timex.com and ran into the same problem. I even checked local store and many of the Timex watches say they have 12 preset timers but they only have 12.

Timex has a problem.

This watch is very nice. I have a small wrist and it fits well, looks sporty as well as feminine. The pulse calculator works well enough. I wear it all the time, and it goes with everything.

I love this watch. Large display, "delicate" band for a sport watch, attractive but unobtrusive accents with very simple but useful features.

I purchased this for my daughter who works on the beach. She is small framed and most of the other digital watches were quite large and masculine. This watch is very attractive and it has all of the features she needs. After other reviews comparing other watches with this one, I decided black was the best color as it would show less wear and dirt, and the lavender accents are a nice touch. Also, Timex is a very reliable brand so you can feel confident that you are buying a nice watch. I compared prices of this particular watch on the official Timex website and purchasing through Amazon.com saved me almost $20!!!!
