Advantages: Simple, Easy To Use, Heart Rate, Stopwatch

Disadvantages: Pricey, Nothing Special

I have had this watch for a long time now after buying it when I started doing a lot of running and cardio work. This watch has a built in heart rate monitor and it comes with a strap that goes round your chest to measure your heart rate. I bought it for around £45.00 at the time but I'm not sure if this item is continued anymore. Nevertheless, I'm sure you can buy it second hand online.

It's grey and the strap is rubber with many holes in it so it fits all size wrists. There are holes along the whole of both straps, which is actually the design too but I guess it doesn't feel as hot on your wrist this way when you're exercising as the holes let your skin ventilate.

The screen is a simple digital display with a black lining round it where the two buttons on the right are labeled: start/stop and mode. It says 'Triax C3' on the silver surrounding the screen and the Nike tick is just above.

The time is displayed simply in 12 hr mode and it says am or pm too. The second mode is a stopwatch and the other is the pulse receiver from the strap. The strap fits round your chest and takes a bit of positioning to get right before it works. It wirelessly sends a signal to your watch to tell you your heart rate, which is useful when you are training and you can also time your recovery rate afterwards. Overall, it's a useful watch but very simple and not cheap.
