Combining speed-and-distance data with heart rate monitoring, the svelte Timex Ironman Triathlon Bodylink System (model T5G311) is a great choice for serious and professional runners, providing accurate speed and distance information as well as heart rate feedback. This mid-sized watch offers a hardened resin case with a silver bezel mounted atop a two-tone gray resin strap with a thin, tapered profile. This Speed and Distance system will track your speed (real-time, average, and maximum), pace (real-time, average, and best), and overall distance. This model also offers target alarms that will notify you when you reach preset upper and lower limits for either speed or distance. This watch also provides:

• 3-line customizable display
• Summary Mode: review speed, distance and heart rate performance data at end of workout
• 100-hour chronograph with either lap/split in large digits,
• 100-lap memory with recall of Bodylink system data
• 2 linked interval timers
• 100-hour, 3-mode countdown timer
• 5 alarms for daily, weekday, weekend or weekly with 5-minute backup

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--and the GPS sensor is splash resistant. All Timex heart rate monitor sensors have batteries that can be replaced by consumers without requiring them to be returned to the manufacturer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great device!, October 8, 2007

By	E. J. Mitchell (Nashville, TN) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've had other heart rate monitors but have always had trouble with them which I attributed to my small frame. But this not only works beautifully, the GPS has added a whole new dimension to my training. It works great outdoors though admittedly did not get a signal on a run in the woods. In clear spaces on the road or on the water (I row) it works like a charm.

2.0 out of 5 stars Too Small, July 16, 2008

By	Fire Dude (Austin, Tx) - See all my reviews

When I opened the package I realized that this is definitely a woman's watch. That's fine, because I got it for my wife, but I was hoping to use it too. Then, within the first 5 minutes of having it out of the package, the battery door on the GPS unit got stuck and I broke it trying to un-stick it. I managed to rig it to work.
When I took it outside to try to acquire the satellites, I found out that the light that shows if you have the satellites is not nearly bright enough to see in the sunlight.
The watch is not medium sized as advertised, but pretty darn small. That's fine, but the main screen for exercising has three lines of info on it. The numbers are so small, you really have to look at it, not just glance at it like I am used to doing with other HRMs.
Other than those issues, it did work well!

4.0 out of 5 stars Just what I expected, November 8, 2007

By	Eager Beaver1 "EB-1" (North Carolina) - See all my reviews

The T5G311 is the 2 second Ironman BodyLink watch I have had. It is fills my need for data and gives me reasonably accurate running log. I have had days when it does not find the GPS system and end up having only my heartrate recorded. That is frustrating. However, for the most part for someone not training for major races or time trials that is a minor inconvenience. For the price it serves its purpose.
