I had a heart rate monitor watch but it was really cheap and it broke, and even when it worked you had to hold down this button for 5 seconds to get a single reading of your heart rate (and it didnt work if you were moving too violently for the watch).
I want a comfortable strap that goes around your midsection, and maybe a watch that gives you a display of the results...
are there any good straps that come WITH a watch?
Answer
I swear by my Garmin, I got a 301 model on Amazon, cheap and though there are newer versions, they don't have anything this model had. Will give you your heart rate, you can set an alarm to go off if you go over or under a certain number of beats per minute, has GPS so it will tell you how far you've run, at what rate per mile or km, your average heart rate, how many calories burned, your time, has a training assistant that will let you know if you are ahead or behind of apace you have set for yourself, will time intervals letting you know how fast you have done them and when it is time to do another one. I could go on. O, you did say watch. Timex has one.

Timex GPS running watches?
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.
