Rating : - I like the timex HRM
I like this HRM better than my polar one for a couple of reasons. One, since it is pretty much an ironman watch, I am familiar with what the watch part can do and two, it was easy to figure out without having to read a confusing manual. The only thing I wish it had was a softer chest band like my polar has but I don't really notice it all that much.

I bought this HRM so I can have a HRM and a countdown timer which is really important for me.
