Still finding it tough to get hold of a good quality heart monitor that pushes you to the limit? The Timex T5J031 heart rate monitor was built mainly for people who take their workouts seriously.

The Timex T5J031 contains easy to understand specs which aim to make your workouts a less complicated one. The manual is not hard to read and understand and the heart rate monitor makes a superb watch when the heart rate features are not in use.

Here is a list of a few features that make it so fantastic:

•27 lap memory with average heart rate per laps - this feature is handy if you are training for a marathon or just staying in shape

•Alarm with 5-minute backup - what's a watch without an alarm?

•100-hour chronograph with lap and split, either in large digits - you will never get a more accurate timing with this type of feature

•100-hour countdown timer

•3.5 year battery life - this is a handy tool when it comes to saving money. You don't ever have to worry about a battery change for years to come

•Month/Day/Date display with 12/24-hour time

I must say that this heart rate monitor is remarkably cheap! Then again, apart from the superb characteristics mentioned above, I'm going to share some of the features that I personally favour about the Timex T5J031.

So Easy and Comfortable

This heart rate monitor watch can be worn by both men and women due to its mid-sized structure. The chest strap heart rate monitor feature is nothing like any other! The buttons are easy to access, it comes with a durable resin case and comfortable resin strap, and this feature can also pick signals just about anywhere in the world.

The Indiglo night-light is such a handy feature. The lights are bright when you need it in the dark and the best part of all - it does not consume much battery power! Oh, and get this - the watch is water resistant to 165ft. (50m). That means you can wear it in any type of terrain without ever having to worry about it dying when coming into contact with water.

If you're in need of a really good heart rate monitor watch that will cost you so little then the Timex T5J031 is guaranteed to over deliver. Your exercises will always be intense and you will never get bored.
