This watch was everything I thought it would be and continues to wow me with the features... I've only had it for 5 days and it is so feature rich that I still do not have all of it figured out. DO NOT LISTEN to the issues with the GPS. This synced FLAWLESSLY in a little over 2 minutes on 4 different occassions. I never had any issues with losing the signal or anything. I took it for a long bike ride in very woody and covered roads and still didn't have any issues. The distance is right on the mark with the Bike computer that I have so I'm impressed with the accuracy. My advice is to "read the instructions" and forget about the negative ratings. I almost didn't buy it just because of the negative ratings and I'm glad that I listened to myself and bought it anyway. I tested the Polar version and wasn't too impressed especially with the ridiculous price. Save yourself some money and buy the Timex.

Specifications
Combining GPS location data with heart rate monitoring, the svelte Timex Ironman Triathlon Bodylink System (model T5F011) is a great choice for serious and professional runners, providing latitude and longitude, altitude/elevation data, exact real-time/average/maximum speed, and pace calculation. It offers a stylish one-piece watch and band construction with a silver bezel accented with a red interior.
No GPS calibration is needed and it offers 99 percent distance accuracy in environments with a clear view of the sky. Speed and Distance features include tracking of your workout distance (with target distance alerts), continuous odometer for total distance for a workout or group of workouts, and a predictive finish time mode that uses total event distance and pace data. The heart rate monitor features include:
- Target Zones: Preset your desired heart rate exercise zone. Alarm notification when you are not in zone.
- Average Heart Rate: Displays your average heart rate over a period of time.
- Time In Zone: Amount of time spent within your selected heart rate target zone.

The Indiglo night-light uniformly lights the surface of the watch dial using patented blue electroluminescent lighting technology. It uses less battery power than most other watch illumination systems, enabling your watch battery to last longer. The Night Mode feature allows you to illuminate the Indiglo night-light for 3 seconds with any button press, regardless of the mode or function. The watch is water resistant to 50 meters (165 feet)--suitable for swimming but not for diving--and the GPS sensor is splash resistant. All Timex heart rate monitor sensors have batteries that can be replaced by consumers without requiring them to be returned to the manufacturer.
Customer Review
Timex Bodylink with Heart Rate and GPS - L. Samuelson -
This watch does everything that I expected it to do after reading other's reviews. One thing to remember: For me, the watch will not pick up the signal from the GPS if it first received the signal from the heart rate strap. This means that you need to turn on the GPS and lock-on before you put the heart rate strap on.
Awesom - Steven Helder -
I have had this product for 3 years and absolutely love it. I have never had any problem syncing it. I have really abused it. Using it for cycling as well as running. I recently replaced the band and battery.
I would definitely buy it again.
