the last two Timex iron man I have bought in the last 6 month had to be replaced since the sensor stopped working. so I am collecting watches...should I buy just the sensor?

I bought just a replacement sensor/strap and it has paired up perfectly. The Ironman I own is my original and is about 4 years old.

Sorry for you... the one i have is a simple model fitness HRM T5H921. The belt lasted 3 years! According to Timex, it is pretty good!

Timex told me that the chest sensor is normally good for 2 years. Check the price of that kit and compare to a complete set of watch and belt.The 2 prices are sometimes close.If you order just the kit of belt/sensor, be sure you order the appopriate one. There are many-many models!

I bought only the sensor. I'm on my second sensor now I got about a years use out of the first one.

that is exactly what I did as I have different sensors just stop, was not batteries. just check that the sensor works with that watch.

Yes. I replaced the sensor months ago and have had no problems since. The digital sensor works better than the one that came with the watch originally.

I have had the same experience in the past with timex watches. By looking at the watch, looking it seems pop out the two pins and you should be good to go. A paper clip should do the job

If you have had it less than a year, send it back to them and ask for a replacement. If they return it 'fixed', tell Timex it still is not working, because they probably didn't fix it. I sent my watch back in for repairs and it came back in worse shape then when I sent it, so they replaced it, no questions asked....I would buy another watch from these guys.

Yes! Just bought speed/cadence sensor last month and works perfectly with my 310xt. Suggest you buy the mounting bracket as well so you can detach and place the watch on your bike stem � Ride strong �

I could not get my Timex to relyably communicate between its components. As a result I have no idea how to answer your question except to say that it kept accurate time - period. Trashed it. Seller learned of dissatisfaction, replaced it with a MIO, no cumbersome chest strap required, works great.

I had problems with the previous version. I sent it to them for a little problem, and they sent it back saying it water damage. I was pissed considering I live in a desert environment and the watch was in a (dry) drawer for months before I sent it in. I got it from amazon. As much as I want another suunto I just don't want to risk their crappy warranty service. (Their compasses have held up fantasticly for me.)

Time to replace the battery. The A23 batteries included with the system are junk. A couple of my sensors only lasted 3 months. I bought energizer brand as replacements.

I have a Timex Ironman (Trashman would be a better moniker for this $90 disappointment!) that has NEVER given me reliable performance and has basically just quit after 17 months of unreliable service. I'm reading enough negative reviews on the Polar F11, which had otherwise sounded promising, to dismiss risking money on that product as well! While I have little or no use for GPS, the Garmin 305 is starting to sound to me like the accurate, reliable heart rate monitor I'm looking for based on further reading!

I am not sure. I bought the Blue Moon Timer and Stopwatch instead because of the issue you mentioned.

PROBABLY the best solution would be to contact Timex. you will have the number on your warranty/manual literature. it may be more feasable/cost effective to simply get a new watch and keep the other strap as a backup.but definitely check with timex

There is no stated warenty time in literature with watch. As an owner, I am satisfied. I had one watch that had a problem when it arrived and was replaced right away, at no charge. These watches are great for vision impaired but are not seikos. Expect to replace them every two years or so. Still worthwhile.

Personally I would find another watch to buy. Cheap price & cheap product. The 1st one died after 3 months & the replacement didn't even get on my arm.It was defective when I received it.Still waiting for there response.

Hi, I would replace the sensor just to be on the safe side, you need to match the part #s so they work as a team, they did change the system of sending/receiving TPMS DATA around the time of your vehicle, you might need to go online to a VW CC FORUM, you will get more info there, Phil James.

Do you use RunKeeper currently? If so, expect to have to do a manual export/import to get it to take. Also, MySports desktop app still locks up for me everytime I sync (have to close and reopen/resync). I didn't care much for the MySports website, but I already use RunKeeper anyway. It's completely comfortable, and sized just like a normal digital watch. I REALLY want to like this watch, and I still kinda do. If you're not in a hurry, I'd recommend holding off until/if they fix it... as it seems to be one of the best out there for the price--once it's all working. I'm holding out hope for it, but will be watching my return window closely.

I just changed my sensor and my light is still on, call up denso customer service line and tell them which bank and which sensor it is (sesor 1 or 2) and they should be able to confirm before you buy it, I advise DONT buy any sensors until you confirm which one it is, I believe on our gs there are a total of 4 02 sensors

No, I wouldn't recommend it for that reason. Timex has an Ironman watch that is great as a regular and running watch. This watch is good for the GPS, while road running.

The lithium battery supplied is designed to last the life of the detector. At that point, in my opinion, its probably best to go out and buy a new detector.
