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.

Timex GPS running watch?

Bob

I would like to buy a GPS watch for monitoring my pace and distance that I run. It seems that the Garmin Forerunner is popular. However, those models all seem pretty big and bulky. I found several Timex Ironmen Speed + Distance watches that seem to have the same functionality but more compact size (Timex models T5E701, T5B501 and T5E691, for example). Does anyone have these watches? Can you vouch for their reliability/functionality? Thanks!

Answer
This watch is really small and not bulky like the Forerunner:

It includes a GPS, altimeter, barometer and a compass.
