Reviews of the Timex Ironman Global Trainer GPS

Real Reviews Submitted by Real Users!

1. It's been amount three months since I grabbed the Timex Ironman Global Trainer GPS and it's FANTASTIC! Right now I'm enjoying a little vacation time and using it while swimming everyday. It tracks my mileage, has a huge amount of battery life, and even a web based map function. Out of all the ones I own (Pathfinder, Citizens, Ulysse Nardins, etc.) it's my favorite choice. Best of all the local fishermen are amazed on any island I want to swim.

2. The price is a huge benefit as well. Whenever you find something that offers a great signal and is easy to use; you have a winner. I also like the fact that it's not very noticeable on my arm while running or cycling. Even if you're a mountain or trail biking or simply hiking it's a great benefit. Unfortunately it's a little dim, and I haven't been able to figure out how to make it easier.

3. It also takes a few minutes for it to connect, but it's exactly the same thing as a GPS signal you find in your car or phone. Just like those it's very user friendly, so even the non-techy person can handle it.

4. It just so happens I got this as a Christmas present and my first thought was that it's HUGE! I figured I could live with the size and after running with it several times I absolutely love it. Unfortunately there are times when it takes a little bit to find the satellite, but during this time I search for one that will stretch and warm up. Before you purchase one of these I recommend looking at the Garmin watches first. Then again; it has been great so far.
