The Timex Run Trainer GPS Running Watch

admin — Mon, 05 Sep 2011 11:42:00 +0000

SiRFstar IV™ Chipset: Uses the most advanced GPS technology for fast satellite lock-on times and reliable signal retention. The technology puts the Run Trainer watch on part with the most advanced GPS watches on the market
Real-Time Pace, Distance, Heart Rate: Up to four customizable data lines in a large, easy to read digital format makes the Run Trainer both nice to look at as well as powerful
15-Workout Memory: Can save up to 15 workouts of up to 100 individual lap times. Session data can be downloaded via a USB cable to PC and imported into the Training Peaks™ online training log portal
Hands-Free Chronograph Operation: Can record lap/splits based on distance and can automatically stop and start the watch when you stop running or resume again
Up To Five Interval Timers: Variable interval timers facilitates structured interval sessions with optional warm up and cool down built-in
Hydration and Nutrition Reminders: If you are competing in an endurance event that requires re-fueling. The Run Trainer can be programmed to remind you of when you need to re-fuel
Wireless Sensor Compatibility: Utilizes on-board ANT+™ technology to pair up with external devices such as foot pods, heart rate monitor chest straps and bike cadence sensors

Following their release of the Timex Global Trainer watch, the first Timex GPS watch with fully integrated GPS circuitry, Timex have now released another GPS watch which some commentators say is on par with the Garmin Forerunner 110 and 210 watches. Their new GPS watch, the Timex® Ironman® Run Trainer™ may well be a runners dream with all the major features runners need in a package that, unlike some other GPS watches, does not over-complicate your training. The Timex Run Trainer watch is simple enough to use right out of the box, but with enough features to satisfy many athletes, with its improved chipset, the new watch promises to deliver on what the Global Racer watch lacked.

The Timex Run Trainer watch with GPS Technology is designed exclusively for running. With support for a heart rate monitor chest strap, the Flex Tech™ Heart Rate Sensor the watch has the ability to track, speed, pace, heart rate and altitude and boasts advanced training features like interval timers and pace alerts. The watch has a large, easy-to-read customizable display that can display up to 4 data lines making it easy to catch a glance of while you are pushing yourself to a personal best time. The watch features a similar intuitive interface, so if you’ve used any of Timex’s other best-selling sports watches, you are probably already half way to learning to use the new watch.

The Run trainer features an impressive 8-hour rechargeable battery (in full-GPS mode), that is equivalent to the most popular Garmin Forerunner GPS watches and uses the SiRFstarIV™ GPS chip, for optimum acquiring and retention of the GPS satellite signal. The new Run Trainer is also ANT+™ compatible allowing linking up to popular foot pod devices, bike cadence sensors and heart rate sensors that use ANT+ technology. The watch can store up to 15 sessions in memory of up to 100 individual lap times with sessions summarized in a date-ordered list. The Run Trainer watch provides you with the ability to upload your data to PC via a USB cable in a format that is recognizable with the popular TrainingPeaks™ online training log.

But perhaps the feature that makes the Run Trainer watch so compatible with the needs of advanced runners is its variable intensity interval training feature. The Interval Timer allows you to set alerts up for each interval based on running cadence, heart rate or running pace. The watch also has Hands-Free Automatic Operation abilities, allowing you to automatically measure your performance at set intervals based on either time or distance. This is an extremely attractive feature for runners who want to break, say a 5 km race down to their individual 1km split times.

The Run Trainer watch borrows a nice feature found in other Timex heart rate monitor watches in its recovery mode feature. The recovery mode feature works with the heart rate chest sensor recording how long it takes for you to recover after a hard workout. Measuring your rate of recovery is a good test for signs that you are over-training. If it takes longer than usual for your heart rate to drop, then it is a sign that you may be pushing too hard and thus not getting the full benefit for your training efforts. A fast heart rate recovery is also a good indicator that your overall fitness level is good. Serving runners further is the Run trainer’s support for Hydration and Nutrition Reminders and a Countdown Timer feature.

Overall there is a lot to like about the new Timex Run Trainer watch, fitting the description of a mid-range GPS running watch, whether you want a simple way to keep track of your speed, pace and distance on your long runs, or a training tool to help you with a structured training session, the Timex Run Trainer is a great choice for those who want to focus more on running than trying to figure out their watch, without selling themselves short on features. The Timex Run Trainer GPS Speed and Distance Sports watch is due to hit the shelves in October and to be quite honest we can hardly wait!

GPS Watch Leader: The only GPS-enabled watch worthy of the Timex® Ironman® name

In recent years, Timex have not offered any GPS watches that featured a self-contained GPS aerial. While the company offer watches that are GPS-capable, the Timex Bodylink watches for instance, these watches require you to attach a seperate GPS device to your arm. Timex do not currently offer a one-piece watch piece that is fully equipped with a GPS aerial. But that’s about to change. Timex have a new GPS watch in the works, the Ironman Global Trainer GPS Watch. It looks a bit like a Garmin, but will it perform as well as the popular Garmin Forerunner GPS watch? Time will tell. The watch has not yet been released. Lets look at a few of the features promised in this new Timex GPS Watch.

The new Timex Global Trainer watch is the next generation in the Timex Bodylink series. Timex’s most sophisticated athletics watches. The current Bodylink watches are sold as a tri-bundle that includes wrist-watch, heart rate monitor chest strap and GPS device. The new Golbal Training Bodylink watch looks like it will mount the GPS aerial inside the wristwatch itself, offering a watch that is similar to a Garmin.

Its GPS features are driven by a SiRFstarIII GPS chipset, the same type that the Forerunner and other leading GPS watch manufacturers use. The SiRFstarIII ensure the watch will maintain a reliable signal that, once calibrated, will acquire satellite signals faster and lose the connection less frequently than watches with older chipsets like the Forerunner 101, 201 and 301. SiRFstarIII is now a somewhat standard GPS chipset in modern timepieces, which will ensure that the Global Trainer watch’s signal is about the same as other GPS watches. The new Timex watch has the ability to calculate speed, pace and distance in real time as well as measure altitude ascent and descent rates and distances.

The new watch has a screen that is split into four quadrants in a very similar layout to the Forerunner watches and presumably will offer similar display something similar in terms of screen customization. There is no information about the full range of data fields that can be displayed. Knowing Timex, they will deliver something that will keep athletes well and truely satisfied.

The Global Trainer also offers better navigation than Timex’s current navigation watch, the Bodylink Trailrunner watch, with the ability to store up to 100 waypoints with track back feature and 50 custom routes.

The performance features of this watch are impressive too and are well suited to runners, cyclists and triathletes, but could just as easily be used by any athlete in any sport on dry land, that is based on movement. The new watches maintains a 20 workout history log with the capacity to store up to 1000 lap times. Some of the existing Timex Ironman features are included including 100 hour Chronograph, Interval Timer and Countdown Timers. This Timex watch loses none of it’s Ironman charm. It also offers a performance pacer that helps you judge your finish time, calorie calculation, hands free GPS operation – it essentially starts and stops the stopwatch based on your movement – no buttons required! There is also a multisport event mode which allegedly records, activates and transitions in one sequence.

Like recent innovations in the Timex Race Trainer watch, the new Timex Global Trainer GPS Watch allows you to transfer your performance data to personal computer (PC or Mac) where you can import your performance and route data to Timex’s Online Training Software, powered by the Training Peaks platform. Here you’ll be able to share your experiences with a community of active and like-minded people. The software provided with the Timex GPS Global Trainer Watch also allows you to configure your watch via computer. The USB connector recharges the watch battery, although there is currently no word on how much battery liive this watch will offer. The watch can be used with all Timex heart rate monitor chest straps and bike senors as well as ANT+ third party bike power sensors.

I have to admit, the prospect of this new Timex Ironman GPS Global Trainer hitting the market has got me a wee bit excited! Will this new Timex Ironman GPS watch rival the wildly successful Garmin Forerunner watches? Time will tell. There seems to be no reliable release date on the new Global GPS Trainer, but look out for it’s release on Amazon and other watch stores soon.

Heart rate monitors are a useful tool for determining if you are training at a suitable level for your fitness needs and for checking if you have recovered enough before your next hard exertion.

Timex have recently added two brand new models to their Timex Sports Watch line.

The Timex Race Trainer heart rate monitor sports watch, (discussed in the last blog post) has the ability to wirelessly download your data to PC which using the new ANT+ powered Timex Data Xchanger Device. Once on computer the user then has the option of uploading their data into Timex’s powerful Timex Trainer Online Web Portal, powered by Training Peaks.

The Timex Road Trainer watch is another great heart rate monitor from Timex at a budget that won’t put off too many semi-serious runners and athletes who don’t need the full features of the Race Trainer.

Road Trainer Watch Features

Heart Rate Features

Digital FM Heart rate monitor, avoids crosstalk and interference

User-Replaceable Heart Rate Chest Strap Battery

Minimum and Maximum Heart Rate Alerts

5x Auto-set Heart Rate Zones + 1x Customizable Zone

The Timex Road Trainer watch allows you to choose a pre-set target heart rate zone or define your own. At the completion of your workout, your Timex sports watch will present a summary showing how much time you have spent in a particular zone and during your workout, your heart rate can be viewed in either beats per minute or percentage of maximum heart rate. The Road Trainer supports zone alarms as well, for when you are above or below your chosen heart zone. The watch tracks your average heart rate, calories burned and has a 50 lap capacity for each session. Heart rate lap data is saved in the watch’s memory too.

The Road Trainer watch features a standard chronograph stopwatch, allowing you to record laps and view individual lap and split times. A countdown timer is also featured, accommodating fixed timed interval training workouts and Timex’s patented INDIGLO night light with NIGHT MODE feature, allowing you to train effectively in low-light conditions.

While the Road Trainer sports watch does not have the Data Xchange device, it is compatible with the Timex Data Recorder 2 (purchased separately) that allows you to store multiple session and heart rate information. The Data Recorder is an external device that communicates wirelessly with certain models of Timex wrist watches, but unlike the new Data Xchange device, it must be plugged directly into your PC to transfer session data to computer.

In summary, the Timex Road Trainer watch is a reliable, easy to use, affordable, entry level Timex Sports watch for semi-serious or serious runners who do not require the ability to track and analyze their workout history online.

Looking for an affordable, yet powerful heart rate monitor watch? The Timex Race Trainer and Timex Road Trainer watches offer a “watered down” version of the fundamental features found in the top-line sports watches, without the hefty price tag.

The latest generation Timex Sports Watch combines heart rate monitoring, with the latest trend of computer connectivity with their new XChange technology that allows you to upload your data to PC and enter it into the Training Peaks online community to compare and discuss with like-minded athletes.

The Timex training site is a centralized portal where you can track your training as well as your dietary intake.

The intuitive website takes a leaf out of what other leading watches such as Garmin Watches, Suunto and Polar sports watches are doing, they offer the transfer of data to PC with the option of importing into their custom-built online portals.

Never before have athletes had such an opportunity to compare and communicate with like-minded athletes from around the world.

The Timex Race Trainer Heart Rate Watch

The Timex Race Trainer is suitable for semi-serious and serious runners. The standout features include:

Digital FM Heart Rate Monitor for elimination of crosstalk and interference, features a user-replaceable battery

10 session workout memory with 50-lap memory per session with average lap HR

Target HR zones with time in zone and alerts, recovery heart rate, average and peak HR per session, calorie measurement

Optional Data Xchange ANT+ USB device, allows transfer of data to PC and the online Timex training site

5x interval timers with individual training zones

Compatible with Windows Vista, XP, Mac Intel and PowerPC Personal Computers

If you’ve used a Timex sports watch in the past and have been frustrated at the need to use the external data recorder to save your session data, you’ll be pleased by the Race Trainer’s ability to store session and heart rate data in the watch piece itself. The crucial piece of technology you will require to download your training data from Race Trainer to computer is the Timex Data Xchanger, which is an optional component.

The Xchanger uses ANT+ technology, that connects to your PC via a USB port, allowing you to wirelessly transfer your watch data to your computer. ANT+ compatibility is the technology used in the Garmin Forerunner 405CX GPS Watch. This means your Timex heart rate monitor chest strap can be used with this popular Forerunner watch.

The ANT+ Data Xchanger also allows you to edit your watch settings from your computer, meaning you can configure heart rate zones, alarms, interval timers, etc from your desktop computer. You can also analyze and edit stored workouts.User reports have also suggested that the slimline chest strap that comes with this watch is incredibly comfortable compared with other Timex heart rate monitors.

The Race Trainer watch from Timex comes in four modern style color schemes for both men and women.

The Timex Online Training Peaks Web Interface

The online interface lets you create and customize an account and transfer your data into the online portal. It is essentially an online journal that can accommodate your personal fitness and nutritional information. The interface is powered by the Training Peaks platform, an established web portal for fitness tracking with wide support for a large number of devices.

With the Timex training site, not only can you import and analyze your personal fitness data, but you can choose to follow any number of structured workout plans which have been designed for athletes of all levels by six time Ironman winner Dave Scott. The site also features the blogs of more than 40 Timex multi-sport team athletes for an endless source of training tips, advice and inspiration.

Three free plans are automatically available when you create an account:

Novice Sprint Distance Swim Plan (Dave Scott)
Intermediate Olympic Distance Swim Plan (Dave Scott)
6 Week Strength and Injury Prevention Program (Dave Scott)

If you need something more specific, you have the option of selecting from many more commercially available training programs, which can be purchased online through the interface.

This is an example of the online portal interface. The default screen, “calendar view” allows you to navigate past sessions and enter in new ones on the days you’ve trained

When your workout data has been uploaded, the Timex Training site provides a customizable “dashboard” that is populated with different types of information, analysis pages, journals, calendars and even tips on daily nutrition.

The Timex Road Trainer Heart Rate Monitor Sports Watch

Timex IRONMAN^TM Road Trainer Heart Rate Monitor

Buy on Amazon for $69.00

If you are after a basic watch without online functionality, the Timex Road Trainer is a heart rate monitor watch without online support, but with most of the same functionality as the Race Trainer watch. The road trainer is suitable for semi-serious athletes seeking a cheap heart rate monitoring watch and can live without the extra memory and data transfer ability found in the Road Trainer.

The Road Trainer does not support session workout storage and does not support Interval Timers. It can track the same information that the Race Trainer can over a single workout, but if you need multiple session storage, the Race Trainer or another sports watch is a better option.

We would recommend the Road Trainer watch as a great starter heart rate monitor watch for semi-serious runners that want to track their vital statistics on their long runs.

In Summary

Overall the Timex Race Trainer watch is an affordable, mid-level heart rate monitor watch with the ability to transfer workout data to a computer and then import that same data into a powerful online community portal.

The Road Trainer watch is a cheaper alternative to the Race Trainer, sharing many of the heart rate features, but lacks the multi-session storage, interval timers and PC data transfer ability of the Ironman^TM Race Trainer.

If you are seeking a more powerful Timex sports watch that also has the ability to transfer data to PC and into the online portal (with the Timex Data Recorder), consider a Timex Bodylink watch.

Timex Ironman iControl Watch. Take Control Of Your iPod

admin — Wed, 27 May 2009 02:00:18 +0000

It is common knowledge that music can help runners or cyclists find their “zone” or to get athlete’s adrenaline pumping and so improve one’s motivation.

Since the emergence of Apple’s line of iPod solid-state devices, MP3 players are small enough, with large enough battery life and hard drives with low enough prices are low enough, that just about any athlete can have access hours of audio content wherever their workout takes them. Sleek and portable, runners, cyclists and rowers from all over the world have made their iPOD shuffle, or nano a standard accessory for their regular workouts.

In fact the popularity of the iPod has become so widespread that large sporting companies have created new products that cater to this market. The Nike+ is an example and can interface with an iPod nano and transmit data from a standard running shoe to iPod.

Timex, a reknown innovator who have always designed their sports time-pieces to be as intuitive and natural as possible have caught onto the trend and have engineered their own iPod interface technology that offers some great advantages to runners who find it difficult to access their iPod while in motion.

The iControl IRONMAN watch is visually identical to the sleek 50-Lap IRONMAN watch T54281, with the exception of a few more buttons, but is fitted with a small receiver that connects with an iPod and effectively puts you in control of your music . This feature has great benefits. You might, for example be in the habbit of having your iPod strapped to your arm – a potentially awkward position to reach when working out, with the iControl, you can control your audio in an an easy button press or two. You might prefer to store your iPod out of the way in a backpack with just the ear phones attached, the iControl is a perfect solution, here too.

Not that, the iControl need be limited to only fitness activities, for example the iControl serves as a remote control when you are in your car, or around the house if you are a user of an iPod audio sound system such as the Altec Lansing inMotion iM600 Audio System for iPod.

As you would expect, the iControl possesses Timex’s highly functional standard features, plus a few extras including highest contract display, chronograph mode with a resolution of 1/100th of a second and recall with 50-lap memory, a Countdown Timer up to 23 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds, 3 programmable Alarms, Water Resistance, INDIGLO illumination, Night-Mode, Multiple Time Zones and Interval timers.

Speed in Miles Per Hour
Steps Remaining Towards a Step Goal

The memory feature saves lap times in memory and will display not only lap times, but the total lap distance, average and lap speed, average and lap pace and total calories.

Interval Timer: This Interval Timer feature is useful for interval training. You can set a single timer and program it to repeat a chosen number of times. You can also set an interval timer with up to five different interval times.

Water Resistance: The watch is water-resistant, so will survive in the water but it is not designed to be a swimming or diving watch.

Battery: The battery in both the watch and pedometer pod is user-replaceable.

Style: The watch is large, but not huge. It is comfortable to wear during a workout. You’ll also get some interesting tan lines from the cut-outs on the strap.
