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. All Timex heart rate monitor sensors have batteries that can be replaced by consumers without requiring them to be returned to the manufacturer.
Customer Reviews
Very Poor Display. Faint, Thin and Angle-Sensitive. Poor Night Light. Otherwise OK by Barthbill
The reason I bought this was the heart rate function. The display falls woefully short in that area. The heart rate digits should be in a bolder font. Reading it while exercising requires good light and just the right angle. Otherwise you are done in by reflections and/or a dimmed-out display. A bolder font would help a lot. I still read the phone book or the stock market page of the paper without glasses, so my eyesight is not to blame. The display picture here shows it as easier to read than it is in the real world.
When I am running or cycling, I want to read it at a glance, not struggle. What were they thinking? Did they test this in a well-lit gym only? Some people exercise outdoors under all conditions. On the bike, it is bad enough to have to look down at my wrist and rotate it to the right angle, but with this Timex, I have to raise my left hand up closer to my eyes. Sweat in the eyes coupounds the problem. I have even considered somehow mounting the watch on the handlebars of my bike at just the right angle so I can read it without dangerous distractions.
The night light feature is all wrong. It is the opposite of other digital devices, and displays a dark field with fuzzy lighter digits. It is particularly difficult to read on awakening in a dark bedroom. Just trying to figure out what time it is often makes me more awake than I really want to be. Reading a lighted watch shouldn’t be so difficult. This is so lame.
I would recommend this only for those who exercise in a well-lighted gym and don’t get sweat in their eyes, or those who exercise only under the best outdoor conditions.
With an easier to read heart display and a conventional night illumination, I would give this five stars.
I am returning it and looking for a brand with a better display.
It is ok by Mo
The watch is ok to me. I am not the smartest when it comes to gadgetry so I have a difficult time getting the heart rate monitor to work. Other features to the watch are good.
