Timex Zone Trainer

Although Timex has been a trusted manufacturer of timepieces for decades, many people may be unaware of the fact that they have diversified their market offerings and are now a leading provider of heart rate monitors for fitness buffs. The Timex Zone Trainer is a midrange offering, designed to increase public awareness of the high quality fitness equipment provided by Timex and create loyal customers by including a set of features intended to appeal to the widest variety of people possible.

The Timex Zone Trainer includes a chest strap for heart rate monitoring, and transmits data digitally to minimize interference with other devices. As the name implies, tracking your heart rate across multiple zones is this unit's specialty. As fitness buffs are already aware, the body has multiple areas of efficiency; a higher target rate can increase the body's endurance, while a lower target can increase overall fitness and help with efficient weight loss. The Zone Trainer allows you to work out with any of these goals in mind.

Adding to your ability to track the progress made in each workout, the Zone Trainer features the ability to display fairly detailed information about your session, by showing you the amount of time that you have spent in each of your target heart rate zones, along with the number of calories that you have burned. The Zone Trainer also adds a further level of convenience featuring Indiglo bezel-lighting technology and the ability to interface with fitness equipment such as treadmills and stationary bikes.

The Timex Zone Trainer is an excellent choice for anyone who is new to serious exercise, giving you the ability to monitor your heart rate for maximum safety and results, multiple zone heart rate tracking for efficiency, and a calorie counter for motivation. However, it lacks the advanced personal training features of some more expensive fitness watches, such as the ability to customize a personal workout for you based on your current level of fitness. For this reason, the Zone Trainer is an ideal choice for someone who is new to working out and unsure about how seriously they want to get into it, or someone who is experienced enough to already know their own ideal workout schedule.
