Timex :: From Watches to the Timex Heart Rate Monitor

The Timex Company has long been in the forefront of watch making. Timex timepieces are some of the best selling in the United States; their brand one of the most recognizable in the industry. But many people don't know that Timex makes a host of other products, including thermometers and pedometers. Timex is also the world leader in sport timing devices. One of their most advanced new products, geared for athletes, is the Timex Heart Rate Monitor, a line of Timex wristwatches that monitor your heart rate through a chest strap.

The heart rate monitor helps you get in shape by helping to ensure that you are training at maximum efficiency, staying in the right target heart rate zone, for the correct amount of time. The device monitors your heart rate, and tells you when you have reached your target zone, then keeps track of how long you maintain your target range during your workout.

The top of the line watch can even tell you what your target heart rate should be for your age, and measure your average heart rate for your workout. Once your workout is complete, you can turn the monitor off and view the relevant data for your workout. Using another Timex product, the Data Recorder, you can store your workout data for comparisons, trends and monitoring your improvement.

It Does Actually Tell Time Too.

In addition to the benefits of the heart rate monitor, the watch itself has great features. It offers a countdown timer, day and date, alarms, and a two-year battery life. It appeals to sports enthusiasts of all types, even when not using the heart rate monitor attachment. If you're in the market for a gift for the fitness enthusiast in your life, the Heart Rate Monitor by Timex is sure to please.
