Timex Bodylink w/ GPS Product Review
The frustrating thing about these Heart Rate Monitors is that I can't find much information about them on the internet. I'm going to try to accumulate features and feedback and post the results on the blog. I'll do my best but please correct me when I'm incorrect and post your feedback if you know anything.
Why Buy this Model
I'm going to start with some Timex HRM's. The Timex Bodylink System interests me because it has a GPS component. GPS means that you mileage is measured automatically. I run on the lake front with mile posts, but I have had to measure the running path with my car odometer before!
The watch, HRM and GPS has just about every feature that is available in electronic running systems (watches). The feature I think is most important is a chronograph with at least 27 lap memory. This is the reason to buy a watch, right? Double that memory would be nice if you keep half mile split times. This watch has 100 lap memory.
The HRM transmitter is a chest strap that has user replaceable batteries. Most negative feedback about HRM's is about HRM transmitters that have to be sent to the manufacturer when the battery wears down. All Timex HRM transmitters have user replaceable batteries.
The coolest feature of this HRM system is that mileage splits will be recorded without the need to press a button. Hand free splits are possible because of the GPS system constantly measuring the mileage.
