Train hard and smart with the Timex Ironman Men's Race Trainer Digital Heart Rate Watch with data Xchanger system--equipped with the technology to maximize your training so you can gain the ultimate competitive edge. With a full-sized watch that features a 10-workout memory, 50-lap chronometer with average heart rate per lap, and five interval timers with individual heart rate target zones, the Race Trainer makes serious training easy and helps you reach your goals safely and efficiently. Wireless Data Xchanger USB provides wireless two-way communication between the Race Trainer watch and computer, allowing you to download data to your PC without wires. The workout data transfers to a free online training log, powered by TrainingPeaks that allows you to manage watch settings and memory from your computer. The training log tracks your calendar, performance, personal data, and nutrition as well as allows you to upload workouts and training and nutrition software. The Ironman Race Trainer wears great for everyday time-keeping, and when you're ready to train it is equipped with multiple heart monitor functions that allow you to measure and reach your training goals every time you work out. The heart rate monitor communicates digitally with the watch and has an owner-replaceable battery. The heart rate monitor features a 10-workout memory and five linked interval timers with target zones to allow you to measure your development as you train. Functions such as 'Average Heart Rate' that offer readings for your total workout and for each lap, and 'Time in Zone' with six heart rate target zones allow you to interpret your performance and set goals. The 'Recovery Heart Rate Timer' measures your heart rate after a timed recovery period during or after your workout, giving you further information about your fitness level. Additional functions include 'Percentage-of-Max Heart Rate Display' and 'Calories Burned.' 'Digital Transmission' protects your data from cross talk with other heart rate monitors and electronic interference from exercise equipment. In addition to heart rate monitor specific functions, the Ironman Race Trainer comes loaded with functions to maximize your training. The watch is equipped with five variable intensity interval timers and a 100-hour chronograph with lap and split in large digits, allowing you to time yourself with ease and accuracy. The watch also features a 50-lap memory for each workout with average heart rate per lap readings. In addition, the watch has a 100-hour, three-mode countdown timer and three alarms with daily, weekly, and weekly with five-minute backup alarms for security. The watch is equipped with an Indiglo night-light with Night-Mode feature so you can read the watch and use its functions anywhere.

 Simple, flexible, and reliable. July 12, 2010
Joe Bova (Ohio)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I'm new to Heart Rate monitors but not new to Timex Ironman products. I have used several Ironman products over the years, including one that would sync from a CGA computer monitor, and I was not disappointed with the quality of this product.
So this particular model operates flawlessly as a watch and HR monitor and will communicate with a computer using a special USB adapter that ships with the watch. Unfortunately, to get the necessary software you will need to go the internet (see last paragraph). When connected to the computer, you can adjust all setting on the watch without pushing buttons. This alone was worth the extra money.
The watch has a number of timing features that make it a very flexible tool for training or simply tracking your daily exercise. While you can use either a chronometer (counts up) with lap capabilities or a timer (counts down), you can plan and monitor your activity. There are also interval and recovery timers and the ability to set up target heart rate zones that correspond to a particular interval.
Use of the watch is straight forward. As you switch through the different modes there text prompts that change to help you remember which button to press to get the desired action. However for most actions, only one press is required. The only time you need more is if you are setting or resetting.
To monitor your heart rate, you need to use a chest strap and transmitter (included) along with the watch. The chest strap has a comfortable fit and a detachable (and adjustable) elastic strap. The watch and transmitter can also be paired so that an adjacent watch or transmitter will not interfere with each other. While I have no need to do this is a very nice feature.
On the face of the watch there are two primary fields, a medium size font across the top that normally displays the date and a large size font across the middle and lower half that normally displays the time. When you are monitoring you heart rate, you can opt to use either field to display your heart rate. If you need to switch, a simple one button push will do the job.
If you want to review the changes in you heart rate over time graphically you need to create a free account at TrainingPeaks.com and load your data there. The process take a few steps to do but it is not difficult. If I had one complaint about the this product it would be that I have to use the website to store and display my data. I would much prefer a local software program or the ability to put the data in Excel but then I'm being picky. However, this is only reason I did not give the product 5 stars; the product is not complete without the use of the trainingpeaks website and that is not in the shrink-wrap package. This is also where you get the necessary driver to permit the watch to communicate with a computer. In spite of my complaint, the website is fairly reliable and has some very nice features, including the ability to map out your routes on public streets.
In conclusion, I am well pleased with the purchase and would recommend this to anyone who is serious about getting back in shape for the purpose of maintaining your health.
HRM does NOT work in water, other than that a great kit July 8, 2010

SUMMARY - HRM NOT FOR SWIMMERS
Do NOT buy if you want to track calories or heart rate while swimming (or just in water).
4+ Stars if you don't care about using the HRM in water.
DETAILS
I think Timex should rename this watch; it's not really an Ironman Triathlon HRM if *does NOT work in water*. This is interesting, because both the watch and the HRM are water resistant (100M and 30M, respectively).
I have a pool, and I expected my HRM and watch to track my heart rate, calories burned, etc. when swimming laps. The watch works but is unable to sync to the HRM and determine my heart rate or calories. If I find another watch in this price range that DOES work in water, I may return this.

Performs as advertised, good heart rate monitor. June 24, 2010
Maarten Hofman (Sunnyvale, CA, USA)

I was looking for a heart rate monitor that also allowed me to store the acquired data, and discovered this was one of the less expensive watches with this functionality. I was happy that the battery could be replaced, although I'm a bit worried whether the same can be done with the wrist strap (it looks like it is fixed in place, but I'll see if it is an issue once it breaks). Setup is slightly complicated (you might need to read the manual, and the manual has many lines that say "see page x") but did not take more than 10 minutes. Performance is excellent, although even if you tell it not to beep it occasionally beeps anyway.
To download the data from the watch, you need a driver installed, which can be downloaded from a particular link in the manual. For me it worked well, but I can see that other people might have more issues with it (the time at which you insert the USB device is important). The driver is made to work together with a website, and uploads the data there. It also stores it locally, but I haven't looked where. Fortunately the website allows you to download the files again. They are in ".pwx.gz" format, which is a zipped version of XML. It was easy for me to import it into other programs (after unzipping and renaming the file to XML) but it depends on what programs you use. You might need to write a small conversion program.
The website itself is ok... I guess I'm using the device just for the fun of measuring things, and the website might help if you're actually using it to train. I suggest reading other reviews to see if the training peaks website covers your needs.
