Run Trainer does its job well,

This review is from: Timex Ironman Run Trainer S and D (Sports)
I have had this GPS watch for about a week now. I'm a moderate runner that trains for the half marathon distance mostly. I compared this Timex run trainer with the Garmin forerunner 210 prior to making my purchase and really there was no comparison except for price.
The Timex has so much more customization to it than the Forerunner. I have something like 15 custom fields to pick from to display on 4 lines of screen each time I look down at the thing on a run. I'm talking about heart rate, speed, avg. speed, pace, avg. pace, distance, calories, etc., etc., etc. By comparison, the garmin doesn't even do speed (just avg. speed) and you can't pick from much else as far as I could tell.
Also, I love that this watch is water resistant (up to 50m). I don't swim regularly but I can see myself getting this thing wet from time to time and not ever having to worry about frying the battery. The Garmin isn't waterproof. That's a big difference in my opinion.

This review is from: Timex Ironman Run Trainer S and D (Sports)
Back in November, I got my hands on the Timex Run Trainer and I've been using it everyday since then. And not just for its functionality as a GPS-enabled fitness watch but as an everyday watch as well. So now I've got over five months of experience of using this and I want to provide an update to the previous review, which was only based on having it for about a week.
DISLIKES:
I still think the watch is literally huge and at least 20%-25% of size could easily be shaved off to make something less unwieldy. Again, my Garmin FR210 has 90% of the same software functions and is half as large. Just to give you an idea of the size difference, I can easily fit the FR210 on top of the TRT no problems. If they make a 2012 or 2013 version of this watch, they need to seriously shrink it down. Size aside, the weight is hardly noticeable once you wear it after a while, I hardly ever notice it on my wrist unless it gets caught on something because it's so damned large; I can...Read more

It is with the great sadness I rate this watch with two stars. I really like the watch but...
If you don't care for your cadence then this is a really good watch and in that case I would definitely rate Timex Ironman Run Trainer at 5 stars. For the money it gives so much features that there is no question that it is superior to similarly priced Garmin watches. And if after a while it does not exhibit any issues with battery like my Garmin 405cx did then this will be even greater watch. I found myself constantly comparing Timex Ironman Run Trainer to the Garmin 405cx which is more expensive watch (I bought it for ~ $320 year and half ago) and most of the time the Trainer is on par with Garmin.
But I do care for cadence. And thus I have to use foot pod. Now look carefully. When you attach your foot pod the Timex Ironman Run Trainer AUTOMATICALLY OVERRIDES GPS distance and pace data with that coming from foot pod. I repeat - AUTOMATICALLY OVERRIDES. Which means that...Read more
