Timex Heart Rate Monitor INSTRUCTIONS HOW TO USE

[ArtemusZa]

Thank you soooooooo much - this was extremely helpful!

[joannasoutherland]

Thanks soooooo much.

I think they over-exaggerate the calories burned. At 5' 3" & 160lbs, how can I lose 1050 calories in 1 hour with a HR Avg of 175??? That seems a littttleee too high. If it really is true, FANTASTIC!!! Otherwise, wouldn't I be pretty fit by now???

[cypresscollectibles]

@darkkromance I think it is actually pretty close. 175BPM is pretty high. I am late 30s and my max HR is 182. When I am at 175 I am *working*. If you go to mayo clinic dot com they have a list of activities and calories burned per hour. It say Tae Kwon Do is 937 cal/hour. That is basically kenpo x. Also - average 175? peak 175 ok, but average? sounds too high.

[darkkromance]

@cypresscollectibles My average is usually 160-170. My peak gets up to 199-200 sometimes because of the HIIT workouts. But what I mean is that I don't think i would be burning over 1000 calories in just one hour of TurboFire. Maybe 800 max, but I don't think any more than that.

Great video. I'm about to start p90x and is recommended to have a good HRM. Spent the last few days trying to find a decent watch and this one seems really good.

[msomers68]

Thank you for this video...I have had this watch for 3 months and did not know how to use it correctly.

[Tico125]

Thank you sir, as you said, the manual is extremely confusing, you just made this quite easy to understand and in less than 10 minutes =)

[GtrzJJ]

Thank you SO much!! Your video was a great help.

[airock666]

Thank you so much. You made it very easy to understand. I have this watch for about one year...Never knew how to work it...Now I know

Thank you

[katiskupcakes]

Thanks so much--you made this so easy-can't wait to hit the gym now and try it out!!

[utryshy]

How do you reset the review data???

[cypresscollectibles]

@utryshy When you press and hold the button to reset the chrono, it will reset the review data automatically.

[linksrat]

@cypresscollectibles I use it for cycling, anywhere from 20-70 miles each ride. But I can't figure out how to record different (separate) times on same ride. E.G. -- ride out is 30 miles and then we stop for 20 minutes. I want to save that data (HR avg/peak and cal burn) without writing it down and then starting over. I'd like to store 2-3 time periods without resetting for each. I'll bet its pretty simple (splits??), but I can't figure it out. Thx!

[jclick6782]

thanks for the video. I just got my watch today and I was getting confused reading the book. Your video helped a lot!

[Huapee01]

thank you very much. I bought timex zone trainer ,it also works with same menu. thank for upload it very easy to understand.

[TheSt777n]

nice vid. thanks!

[UncleEffort]

concise and helpful

[rollerfun1]

dude thanks so much you helped a ton!

[jleakey1]

Thanks for the video. I never read the manual and didn't realize that you had to start chronograph mode to get calories burned.

[cwhite100]

'preciate the lesson.

as you said: the tiny instruction booklet with the tiny font takes a fair amount of effort to decrypt.

this timex is several steps above the schwinn model that's now resting quietly in my locker.

[101blackpugs]

Awesome. Everything I needed to know. Thank you!

[trader891]

great video. Saved me a lot of time.

[musewaldemart]

Haha... In the start.. I am micking

[bwet4ever]

i never ran through the instructional video there. I just fiddled around with the watch myself. So far so good. Never had any major problems with it

[sillydillydokieo]

can it do a separate timer while the chrono is going? like if i want to time my workout, but also have like a 45 second countdown timer for in between sets when lifting weights?

[msfitkid]

thank you!

[MrMONEYSOTA651]

just got mine in the mail its pretty fresh

[MrMONEYSOTA651]

i appreciate you posting this video just ordered mine a hour ago

[shulgirl35]

Thanks for posting this. I had trouble with the directions and I was ready to return it when I found this video. This has helped tremendously.

[de4725]

I have a Timex T5G971, the calories burned seems very inaccurate. 205lb male, 20min jog on treadmill (1.75miles), 45min weights (5machines, 3sets each machine), and 10min on step-mill (50 floors). Timex T5G971 says i burned over 1800 calories, seems a little hard to believe. Any ideas?

[guegs13]

Haha, thanks for the video. Really enjoyed watching it.

Question, did you feel like a fool when you were jumping around? :P

[mhd86]

@BlackieMcTickles hey, i am looking for the same model too and i found the exact same on ebay, just search for "Timex Ironman Heart Rate Monitor"

[tilimsm]

thank you so much! this was really helpful

[cypresscollectibles]

@BlackieMcTickles It is the Timex Iron Man Road Trainer

[825Bethany]

Thanks so much!!! Couldn't figure out how to find the calories!!

[nevertsen]

Thanks man! Great quick review.

[brannonlberry1]

thanks for the video. you are a life-saver.

[bufordTeebear]

BOOM! 

[eddiefromnyc]

I am trying to decide which model to go with...which one would you recommend? I'm looking to spend around $60.

how is the battery life for this watch, how often do you need to change them? does the strap use the same small battery as the watch?

[cypresscollectibles]

@eddiefromnyc I've had this heart rate monitor since January 2010 and it still works perfectly. Whatever model you decide on, make sure it's one with a chest strap. The other versions simply don't work as well.

[eddiefromnyc]

@cypresscollectibles I bought this same watch... thanks for the video...saved me the time of reading that book.... now I have one question....it came in a box, it was already turned on and when I put the strap around my chest the heart filled in and it started giving me the BPM.... now I am wondering how to disconnect it from the strap so its not constantly looking for a signal? im sure its wasting the battery right now right? well as im writing this the empty heart went away? is it off now?

[Jneg84]

@eddiefromnyc im having trouble getting the heart to go solid. any idea what i could be doing wrong?

[4UsNaturals]

@Jneg84 Sometimes mine doesn't work with some exercises like yoga because my arms are too far away. If thats not the case it has done this to me a few times but in a few minutes it usually gets it right. If not maybe try wetting your chest under the monitor. It works well with water or sweat to make the rate come through.

[Xjr5rjX]

Thanks.... this is just what I was looking for ....

[brillanita]

Great tips, thank you. Just received the Sportline sport duo 1025 for Christmas and had no idea how to use the chest strap (you're right, the manual only confused me) or how or even what the chrono feature does. You explained everything I wanted to know!

[TheReptilianBrain]

THANK YOU!!!

[Govner2]

Great, to-the-point video. How about doing one on getting the IRONMAN's data into the PC for tracking it on a monthly basis or however. I have the USB link and a PEAK training software, but the same Chinese manual applies. ??????????? confusion.

[pilewskib]

Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! The provided instructions are at best lacking and your review was spot on!

Have a great Workout.

[SuperCoolDude2014]

im a dj and love working with tempo, this is perfect

[Cavonexx]

you are awesome, thanks

[smithmott]

This was the best info I've found so far on timex HRM anywhere on the web. Here's the question that led me to this video:

My Timex HRM says that it will save the last 10 workouts. As far as I can tell it will only save the 1 last workout in Chrono mode and the last workout in Interval mode. What gives? Anyone else experience this? Am I doing something wrong?

[Mexicanadianguy]

Boom.......thanks for the video........boom.

[SuperCoolDude2014]

@Mexicanadianguy psss i got up to 215 bpm

[balamts]

thanks

[youcancallmefather]

Thanks alot.

I was totally lost on get the review mode to work until is saw your video

[wanderscribe]

Just configured my Timex HRM using your video. Thanks, Cypress!

[calvinjones]

What is the model number of the watch you are reviewing? I like the countdown, repeat function, so i want to make sure the Timex i buy has that.

[stutij]

That works! Thanks!

[stutij]

This is great ... I was playing around with it ... ended up pressing some buttons .. and now whenever i m not in the target zone, it beeps. is there a way to turn the beep off... i think alarm is like a regular alarm ... but i couldn't figure how to turn that off either. lemme know

[cypresscollectibles]

@stutij Go to the HRM-SETUP by pressing the mode button. Once there, cycle through until you get to the final option, which is Alarm, and you can toggle it on/off so it doesn't beep when you are out of the zone.

[Leon112006]

Thanks very helpful  video. :-)

[sweetlyunnoticed]

Thanks for the video! I've been looking all over for how to setup my new monitor! :)
