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.

i been running on treadmill and getting ready for outside running, whats a good watch to track my pace ?




big bill


and my distance, any word on the nike ipod watch ?


Answer
The Nike Ipod watch last I heard had been recalled and they were doing some testing. I have Garmin and Love it, they are spendy but work off GPS not your gate as do all watches with a foot pod or sensor.If you don't want to spend that kind of money then find a trail that has miles marked on it or run a route with a car noting where the miles are. There is also a run site www.runthere.com or www.mapymyrun.com that you can map your run online . so then any chronograph watch would work. personally I've been through a lot of watches . one with foot pods nike plus and my Garmin with GPS is the best.
