Interval Timer? Can anyone confirm if the Timex Ironman ROAD Trainer Heart Rate Monitor Watch has an interval timer?

From the websites I have seen comparing the Road Trainer to the Race Trainer, the ROAD Trainer DOES NOT have a interval timer.

The watch has two stop watch / chromo functions for timing your workouts. I have been disappointed with the heart rate function

I don't believe so. It is a twin COUNTDOWN timer. You set a time interval, press start, and it counts down to zero. It then indicates zero by visual, audible, or both. You can use both timers, or one at a time. You can preset the timers for two different intervals.There are many inexpensive watches and small battery clock displays that can give time of day.

You can program it either way when you do your HR set up. Its easier for run/bike to use percents if you want to stay in a zone, and it has zone alarms. I wear the watch in the pool but not the heart rate monitor. It will take time to get used to the watch and its functions, but read and re read the instructions. You will be fine. My only issue with it is the intervals. But otherwise like the watch.

It says in the description of the Garmin 405CX I received; "Forerunner 405CX comes with a flexible, wireless heart rate monitor to help you make the most out of your training". I don't use this but it there.

No I don't think so. There are two timers for two different time intervals for switching back and forth. But there is only one start/stop button. I purchased it and use it as a count down timer. When time reaches zero, it begins counting up. The audible alert has hi/ low/ off. And off is sometimes very handy. I use it for meetings, and can watch the visual indicator with the audible alert turned off.The question posted by Erik; maybe two simple sport stopwatches would serve your needs. I've had a Robic sport stopwatch for a different purpose for many years. That is how I was familiar with that brand name. No I don't think so.

This watch has the ANTs wireless system which enables you to use and external footpod and Heart Rate monitor. You would need to purchase the timex HR sensor.

The device comes with a heart rate monitor included and it does give the max and average heart rates. The device actually gives quite a deal of information. Runners world, when they did a review of the previous model of this watch called it "The Data Miner." I mostly use it with a footpod so it gives pace, speed and distance etc.

Hi. This watch works with Ant connection between watch and the heartrate monitor. Ant devises uses a frequency that doesn't work under water.

I just took a look at mine. I don't see a timer per se. But it will tell me how long I was walking (in minutes) and how many minutes of that was aerobic (based on steps per minute).Not the more complicated technical device of its type I'm sure, but very informative for me.Hope that helps.

Negative. The watch already has a heart rate monitor. You can display real time info when using the exercise function.

Absolutely! I didn't do my homework leading to the purchase of my first Timex HRM. The second time around, I asked lots of questions, talked face to face with the sales dept in a local Dick's Sporting Goods. Same result. Know too that a coworker owns a Timex HRM and says it works fine. So maybe I'm using it wrong. For me, using the Timex HRM is not intuitive.

Yes, it tracks seconds when you use it as a standard watch and when you track workouts.

I am no expert on the Timex but from using it my impression is that it gives real time pace information averaged over a few minutes. It does not change pace instantaneously as you run, but it does adjust in a way that suggests short term averaging. Hope this helps.

I found that the transmitter belt from my Sole treadmill did work although the rate didn't change very frequently. It seemed more of a snapshot rather than continuous monitoring. The lack of info on the heart rate monitor function is rather appalling.

I wouldn't buy this to use as a regular watch. There are good ironman timex watchs for less that work well. It just needs to be charged daily. It is a great running watch and can't imgine training without it. But I use my timex ironman watch for my everyday watch, half the price but not gps. Hope that helps.
