I need to buy a GPS running watch, it has to be timex, so don't recommend a different brand. I run cross country, so I need a watch that will tell me distance, pace, and time. (I don't really care about heart rate) I was wondering if anyone can recommend a watch OTHER THAN THE GLOBAL TRAINER. Also, do you have to use a clip on thing for the distance to work? Will it work if I don't wear the heart rate monitor?
Thanks
best answer will be chosen
Answer
Unfortunately Global Trainer GPS is the only GPS running watch that Timex offers. However Timex offer another running watch - Timex Bodylink System that track heart rate, speed & distance with external contraption (a sensor) that works together with the watch. You can look that up, the model number is TX589-T5C391.
HRM strap is usually worn at a different location so the answer is Yes, it work even without wearing the HRM.
hope it helps.

Heart rate monitor?

I'm looking for a heart rate monitor that I'm not sure exists. I want a strapless model that continulously measures my heart rate (I'm not sure if this can even be achieved) that has a pedometer, calories burned and can be worn as a watch. I could deal with it not measuring my heart rate continulously if it gave me an accurate calorie count, but I don't want to wear a strap.
Answer
Suunto has some very interesting wrist computers, but I don't know they include a pedometer. Do you want distance walked, or steps taken ?
You can get a foot pod, and others with foot pod and GPS, for some Suunto models that signals the distance walked or run. But I think they all use a chest strap. It also will give agood approximation of calories. It does that by taking input of your age, height, and weight.
