So I saw these and thought, wow that's a decent price, especially since it says no shipping and handling.I can just get them right in my mail and wont have to go anywhere.... No shipping and handling, maybe when you order, but when the mailman arrives with them you have to pay up. I ordered these for price as well as convenience, so me having to drive to the post office to retrieve them and pay postage kind of defeated the purpose.... if you have to PAY shipping they should not say free shipping, kind of ticked me off a little. The Batteries work fine so far, but I am also only on day two.
add: almost 2 weeks, now, since I have put these batteries in my reading light ( which I use every night) and they still work great
~ June 26, 2010 ~ isik kuntay said:Excellent and flawless
The itemjs were shipped right away. I received them in excellent condition. The batteries have excellent performances.
~ June 1, 2010 ~ H. Wilson from seattle, WA said:good honest product with a reasonable price
A drug store sells it twice the price of this one. So it is a good price. I am causcious buying this kind of things because I have had fake stuff that they won't last or break easily. I took these batteries to a store to test their strength and they are the real stuff. Shipping is fast enough too.
~ May 24, 2010 ~ Goldrush said:Batteries are Stale -- Didn't Perform
I purchased these batteries for my Porsche Key Remotes, and both keys failed after 6 months, normally they work for several years. Need to replace again. Turns out, they aren't as cheap as you think, since they have such a short life.
~ May 17, 2010 ~ Mir from Virginia said:Not as pictured
They were shipped fast, arriving three days after I ordered them, in a standard business envelope. However, they're not as pictured - instead of the two-pack pictured, there are two batteries from one of those cellophane sheets of many batteries you'll see advertised elsewhere on Amazon. Who needs the cardboard, right? The drawback is that there's no expiration date on the cellophane, so you don't know what kind of shelf life they'll have. On the up side, these are made in Japan, unlike the Ray-O-Vacs.

~ September 1, 2010 ~ Chaplain James H. Walker from Moberly, MO said:Buyer be Aware!
After thoroughly researching this Timex heart rate monitor I concluded that since it was analogue technology the transmitter (chest strap) would communicate to my major name brand treadmill. It did not! I have tried several analogue heart rate monitors and they have all successfully transmitted a decipherable signal to my treadmill. Not so with this Timex watch. Secondly, I thought the watch had a "timer" on it. I enjoy timing my stretches and other things before and after my workout. This watch does not have a dedicated timer. I returned this product.
~ August 31, 2010 ~ Larlac22 from FL said:Love it
This is my first heart rate monitor and it works great. I have had no problems so far. It seems pretty accurate, although I don't know that I trust that the amount of calories it says I have burned per workout is accurate because it doesn't take into account my weight, age, etc. I highly doubt I burned 550 calories in a half hour workout....
Easy to use, easy to program. The chest strap is washable. And you cannot beat the price! Definitely a good investment for a great price.
~ August 30, 2010 ~ H. Juarez said:works great. exactly what i was looking for.
it was exactly what i was looking for. it keeps track of your heart rate and calculates the calories you've burned. i definitely feel good after my workouts knowing how many calories are burned. i use it for the insanity program and i'm sure it would work great for runners to make sure you're in a fat burning zone.

Bought as gift for my daughter for the gym and jogging. She is very happy with this monitor and I was very happy with the price.

I am very happy with the watch and waist monitor. One great feature is that I can change the batteries myself when the time comes! Lots of great features for the money. Very reliable and fast pick up of the heart rate. Easy clean up after a work out.
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 watch is water resistant to 30 meters (100 feet), which protects it from rain and water splashes. All Timex heart rate monitor sensors have batteries that can be replaced by consumers without requiring them to be returned to the manufacturer.

I bought this watch to my husband, when he received the gift He was very happy with his new watch! He loves G-Shock watches. Recommended!

Amazing rugged, very accurate, but most importantly...one of the most comfortable G Shock watches to wear. This comfort is do the band which is different from most G Shocks. I only wish that Casio offered more models with this type of band. If you have ever wished for a G Shock that fits like a regular watch then this model is the model for you.

I bought this watch for my 11 year-old son because he kept breaking the cheap watches we were buying. I was worried that the G-Shock would be way too big for his child-size wrists, but not a problem at all! The watch fits perfectly and he loves it. Sure it's big, but he likes that and wears his watch with pride. Don't be afraid to buy this for your son, grandson, or nephew.

This is a sporty watch with a very classy look. The value well exceeds the price.

~ August 14, 2010 ~ Nadeem17 said:Great Watch!!!!!
Great Watch!!!!!! Extremely Cheap The best watch i ever had. The only thing i cant figure out is in the description of the watch it says' 1/100 second stopwatch with 60 hour capacity but when i start the stopwatch it only goes till 60 minutes and then repeats again.Can Someone Help me with this?
~ August 2, 2010 ~ Ar said:Honest
I got the watch fast with amazon Prime. It came neatly packaged.
Upon opening it there are several things you will notice. For one, the watch is a lot darker than it appears in the photo. It is very hard to see either the hands of the watch or the digitial display. you can hit a button which luights it up but it lasts a whole 3 seconds.
Second, the watch is a lot smaller than I'd imagined. The size is given online so this is probably fault of my own, but it seems rather small.
Third, the band seems very low quality and is smaller than other rubber bands i have seen. The clasp seems very cheap almost like a cheap plastic and the band feels fragile and inadequate.
The fit on my wrist was less than appealing. Overall the watch is not bad its the band which makes it get a low rating. If you dont mind a dark watch with a small band the price cant be beat. Otherwise do some research and buy a slightly better watch.

~ September 2, 2010 ~ Jon Daley from Pittsburgh, PA said:good, does what it says - neat to see how fast my heart rate reacts to the workload.
We've been quite happy with this watch/monitor.
It easily adjusts between my wife and I, though I use the largest setting, and I wouldn't consider myself all that big of a person (190 pounds, 6'3"), so I'm not sure if it would be good for a large person.
The book/manual was helpful in getting it setup, and understanding some heart basics.
We mostly use it for biking.
I tried it swimming, and it was very sporadic, but I was swimming in light salt water (where the Connecticut river meets Long Island Sound, so somewhat brackish). Maybe it works better in fresh water.
My wife found it interesting that she would see her heart rate go up before she even realized she had started a slight incline on her bike.
I believe this product is better than most monitors, since it doesn't require you to touch it to see the reading, but continuously displays the heart rate.
It does make a tiny click/beep every time a heart beat is detected, which is mildly annoying, particularly if you are testing resting heart rates (while lying in bed, or while reading, etc). but once you get exercising, you don't notice the sound very much.
~ August 21, 2010 ~ PA said:very simple product that does the job
I am a beginner runner and wanted to improve my performance. This is a simple gadget with no frills that works as advertised. I will recommend it to anyone. The only reason to go for a 4 star is that the heart rate in the watch and heart rate on the treadmills in the gym do not match but have a difference of +/- 5 bits even though both work on the same transmitter that I am wearing. But that is not a big concern to me as I am not preparing for the Olympics.
~ August 19, 2010 ~ Ebtoulson said:Timex T5G941
Just a side note: This is my first heart monitor and I have not compared the numbers with gym heart beat monitors.
For the money the T5G941 is an excellent entry level heart monitor, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have its problems. The start/stop button gets stuck and is hard to press. This has caused me to loss my workout stats multiple times. To get these stats you have to hold down down the start stop button after you have stopped a session. If you don't hold down the button long enough it will start a new session and cause you to loss all the information on the previous session. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase.
~ August 11, 2010 ~ T. A GROVE said:Nothing Fancy
If you want a basic heart rate monitor for a low price this is the unit for you. Simple and easy to use, will record average heart rate as well as Max rate during your workout.
~ August 8, 2010 ~ Jmaes E. Fowler said:Times heart monitor
I have not been able to get the heart monitor to work properly, despite a replacement sent to me by Timex. I suspect the battery is not current and will now replace that myself at an additional cost to me. I would not recommend this product to anyone.

This watch is just perfect to used by anyone: the ones who are starting to run and also the most skilled runners.
~ August 24, 2010 ~ NachoUribe said:Love It
I love this product!!
Although you have to learn to use it, once you do, it really does the job.
It has lots of options on what to measure. I use it for running and sailing.
Comes with access to the "garmin connect" web site were you can see what you have done on google maps and google earth and share it. Plus lots of info, history, goals and health monitor.
Its a product that motivates me to workout more and harder.
Too bad the HR band dosen't connect with most of the equipment at my gym (like my old polar). Still is great for outdoors when using the GPS. Plus the watch is not that big and looks good to wear the rest of the day.
~ August 22, 2010 ~ Arturo Torres from Mexico said:Great GPS!
First my profile: This is the first GPS I buy. I bought this watch 1 month ago. I am a high school runner and I am in the cross country team.
Good things: I live in Mexico and the reception is great! I had measured some courses and then tried them with the GPS and the accuracy is almost perfect even in bad weather conditions (including rain, clouds, wind, etc). Also the design is really nice, its the only gps I have seen and you can wear it all the time and it seem like an normal watch. One thing I didn't know about when I bought was the "Location" feature, it was a great surprise knowing my watch could point me too any location just by giving its coordinates. Also, I use my 405 with a friend that has the 405cx and we both use the heart monitor and the receptions don't get mixed.
Bad things: The garmin software in the computer is not really up too date but I guess that's not really neccesary. The bigger downside is the bezel, it took me about 2 weeks to get used to it, especially when running. It still gets a little bit stuck.
I totally recommend this Garmin.
~ August 21, 2010 ~ Stephanie Feraday from Natick, MA USA said:Warning: Will fall apart
It has been about 7 months since I purchased this watch. Since then, I have had to replace the strap of the watch (the one which comes with it) twice. The bands are very difficult to replace. They charge you $15 (on Amazon), and give you a special tool to "decompress the springs" with. The tool has a tiny end which you have to fit in tiny sockets, to try and latch onto even smaller grooves on the springs.
As for the watch, after about 6 months I began to see rust appear on the screwws on the bottom of the watch and, more importantly, I believe, on the contacts where the charger hooks up to the watch and whereby the electricity is fed into the watch.
The surface bezel really looks cool, and it is, but it dents very easily and is very water (sweat) sensitive. There is a way to turn that off, though, but it is a little difficult.
The GPS reception (where I am, a suburb of Boston) is not too great. The real-time pace is not very accurate, but at the end of each run it is quite accurate of the total time and distance covered. (I run quite frequently with it, or, at least, did, until it became too much of a hassle, and simply replaced it with a $5.00 app on my iPhone)
The watch doesn't have great UI software, and it's a little hard to understand how to do things, such as set training exercises, set the running partner, etc.
But perhaps the most important thing that I discovered, I discovered while replacing the band for the second time (yesterday). There is a build up of some substance (perhaps salt, perhaps from sweat (?), but I don't sweat more than anyone else, probably less, with dry skin) inside the notches that the two band ends are supposed to plug in to. Very annoying. I am going to seek a full refund from Garmin.
~ August 17, 2010 ~ Nathan Rimpf said:Forego the Forerunner
First off, I love Garmin and most of it's products. This one, however, is a disappointment. In the first 4 months the product performed wonderfully, but since summer it has failed. If the touch bezel gets wet (SWEAT) it won't respond to the user. The bezel is also a pain to use while running. The battery went from lasting 10 days to only a 40 minute run. Stick with the 305 model with the push buttons, easier to read screen and heart rate monitor. Almost all the features on the 405 are identical to the 305.

The Power Of Location-Based Data
Anyone who has used Garmin's Forerunner 205 or 305 already understands the power that attaching location data to traditional measurements like distance, speed, time, calories burned, and heart rate can provide. Knowing exactly where you worked hardest, ran fastest (or most slowly), and lets you tailor your workouts to improve for specific distances, conditions, and types of terrain. It gives a complete picture of how you interact with every portion of your run.

Watch Results
Loaded with serious training features, Forerunner 405 continuously monitors your time, distance, pace, calories and heart rate (when paired with heart rate monitor). Each run is stored in memory so you can review and analyze the data to see how you've improved.
The high-sensitivity GPS receiver sustains satellite reception, whether you're tackling a trail or jogging through the urban canyons of skyscrapers. The Forerunner 405 is water-resistant (IPX7) and can be used outdoors or indoors (with an optional foot pod), making it the ultimate year-round, all-weather training tool.
Forerunner 405 is available with or without a heart rate monitor (see the versions tab) to help you make the most out of your training. Versions with a digital heart rate monitor continuously track heart beats per minute. Train in a certain heart rate zone to improve your fitness level or compare your pace and heart rate to past performance on the same run.
The revolutionary patent-pending touch bezel on the face of the watch makes navigating the options easier than ever. Simply by tapping, holding or running a finger along the bezel, runners can begin a new workout, access their training history or challenge a Virtual Partner. The Forerunner 405 makes training with a Virtual Partner easy and efficient. Runners can adjust the Virtual Partner's pace without stopping in the middle of a workout, and the Virtual Partner is always on and ready for a challenge.
Run, Sync, Store and Share
One of Garmin's most ambitious decisions has been to approach fitness devices as a total platform with their "ANT + Sport" connectivity system. All of Garmin's new fitness devices, including the Forerunner 405, Edge 605 and 705 bike computers, and Forerunner 50 heart rate monitor watches, will interface wirelessly with any devices that are compatible wiht the "ANT + Sport" protocol, including devices from other manufacturers.
Once you've logged the miles, the ANT+Sport wireless technology automatically transfers data to your computer when the Forerunner is in range. No cables, no hookups. The data's just there, ready for you to analyze, categorize and share through Garmin's online community, Garmin Connect or optional Garmin Training Center software. You can wirelessly send workouts from your computer to Forerunner, too.
Share Wirelessly
With Forerunner 405 you can share your locations, advanced workouts and courses wirelessly with other Forerunner 405 users. Now you can send your favorite workout to your buddy to try, or compete against a friend's recorded course. Sharing data is easy. Just select "transfer" to send your information to nearby units.
Cross-Train
Take your training inside with the versatile Forerunner 405. Pair it with an optional foot pod to track your speed, distance and running cadence indoors when a GPS signal is unavailable. This new design clips onto your laces for easy removal and automatically turns on when you start moving. You can also add a speed/cadence bike sensor to track the speed and distance of your cycling workouts.
Be Part of A Community
In 2007, Garmin acquired Motion-based, the largest shared repository of customer-generated gps-based routes, courses and maps. This was a significant move for Garmin to support the gps user community and bring a wealth of route options to gps users. With a simple connection to your computer, you can join a worldwide network of cyclists and outdoor enthusiasts through Garmin Connect our new, one-stop site for data analysis an sharing.
You can also upload to optional Garmin Training Center software for further analysis. Garmin Training Center stores large quanities of workout and ride data. Some of the things you can do are
Review your workout data, including pace/speed, distance, time, calories burned; and if available, heart rate, cadence and detailed elevation. View a detailed graph of your workout data, plotted over time or distance. View a map of your workout that shows the exact path you traveled. Categorize your workout history according to type of activity. Review previous workouts, which are saved by day and week. Create customized workouts with specific goals and rest intervals. Then send them to your fitness device.* Schedule workouts for a specific day with calendar. Get custom workout templates designed by the experts at TrainingPeaks.comWhat's In The Box

After searching for a watch I could use for working out and casual activities, I found this one and couldn't be happier. The band fits even my large wrist with room to spare (I usually have to go for a men's size). It is light weight and I have forgotten I'm wearing it several times today! Setting all the modes was very easy and the directions are clear and basic. For my needs, this is the perfect, basic watch and I'm happy that its still feminine enough to look cute.

~ July 25, 2010 ~ New Yorker living in TX from Austin, TX said:Cheap and cheerful
I've had this for about a month. Have been in light rain and it still works. I wouldn't take it swimming.
It works fine. Great to take on vacation especially in a plane when you want to know what time it is but your cell phone is turned off. My husband sets it for me since I have little patience for that kind of thing. He doesn't seem to have a problem with it. I don't expect it to last for a long time. I guess I have low expectations and with a watch that costs only $13.50 I think that's a good thing. I do recommend it.
~ July 24, 2010 ~ w_hunter_w from ATL, GA USA said:Water resistance is futile
Though advertised as water resistant to 50 meters, a depth of one meter was sufficient to fog up the interior of the crystal. And although I didn't expect an actual crystal at this price point, the plastic used is rather easily scuffed. Glad it only cost $15 or so...
~ June 13, 2010 ~ Roxie Smith from Washington, DC said:Not waterproof as advertised...
I'm sure this watch works fine if you don't really expect it to be waterproof, or sweat proof, and if you don't live in a humid country. I owned mine for about two weeks before steam collected behind the glass. By week four it stopped working entirely (even though I took it off in the shower, etc.).
Additionally, if you're a runner and plan to use the timers and use the stop watch functions, those can be difficult because of the ridiculous number of buttons you have to push. That wasn't too big a problem for me and I would have given the watch 3 stars based the utility of the buttons... if it hadn't stopped working entirely after 4 weeks.

I hit the gym as well as jog outside a few times a week only to stay in shape. Needed a digital watch with stopwatch and lap features. This watch is more than enough for me. The FLIX feature is nice to have. I like how the watch looks too. So overall I'm very satisfied with this product
~ August 27, 2010 ~ Fuelman58 said:Wearing it right now!
I bought this wacth to motivate me to start a running/workout program and I have done so. I LOVE the interval timer. I can set multiple intervals for various times to customize my workout. I usually run 8-10 miuntes and walk for one and repeat. This watch beeps when each interval begins and ends so I can focus on what I am doing rather than constantly looking at my watch. I even use it at work now. Large display, gread indigo light for night time and a ton of other settings I haven't even got to. Some people complained about the band but it seems very durable to me and also very comfortable.

For the money your getting a great watch. The band is very comfortable. Numbers are big, can see easy, good for us blind people. All functions work well.
~ August 4, 2010 ~ WIll said:Good Watch
This is a good watch, I got the watch to use it for it's interval timers for my workouts at the gym. It is great for tabatta workouts(look it up). The only drawback is that the watch's main feature is for storing lap times. I would recommend someone should only buy this watch is if you run on a track and want to keep track of how long it takes to go in a big circle then it would be more useful. But quality wise the watch is great and has good button function, interval timers, a countdown timer, and a good alarm.
It incorporates the Timex Flix system, which activates the Indiglo night-light with a simple flick of your wrist. To activate FLIX, put the watch into Night-Mode by pressing and holding the Indiglo night-light button 3 seconds until it beeps. With the watch in Night-Mode, a forward "flick" of the wrist with a sharp "stop" will activate the Indiglo night-light for three seconds.
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.

This watch had all I was looking for. I have many fancy and expensive watches but this time I was looking for simple, large, waterproof, and easy to read. I was really thinking I was going to get the raw end here spending only $80.00. The watch was the best value for the $ I have had in years. Other reviews helped allot, I looked beyond any bad reviews as they seemed remote. Awesome Quality I would have guest it to be worth way more!
~ September 2, 2010 ~ S. Tham from Singapore said:beautiful watch but extremely disappointed
I ordered this watch as I was looking for a large face watch and this is throughly enormous. I received this watch promptly upon ordering and it look absolutely great in the box. I put it on my hand and love the look of it. However, I discovered smudges under the glass surface. Yes. I tried wiping the top surface but the smudges are under it. I searched online and found that it is quite common for Invicta watches. I found out I need to find myself a watch maker that can clean and pressure seal the watch back and pay for it. Thats the first disappointment. Secondly, I was looking at the watch when I discovered that the rubber strap near the metal part is broken slightly. It is clearly a defect from manufacture as I only just removed the watch from the box. I send back for refund from Amazon and need to pay the courier charges back. Will not be trying to buy another one again despite the beautiful face.

Very popular model among Invicta watches. Very good looking at your hands. The first time people say that they weigh a lot, but they all got used to the weight very soon. People interested in whether this watch really shines in the dark so much. They tested it and they are really excited. People like these watches.
~ August 26, 2010 ~ C. D. C. Hdez from BCN said:Now not even Swiiss Mvt...
I bought this watch because I liked how it looked like. I must confess I hadn't been swiped before for all this BIG-WATCHES fashion trend. I read all the reviews where they state again an again that this is really a BIG watch and I was a little bit affraid that it would look comedic on me. I liked it however and since it had a huge discount and an offer of free one day shipping, I took the chance and bought it. Now I've received it, and even when it is big (and not that heavy), it is not of clownish-big comedic proportions.
It is a nice watch and it doesn't look that much like a cheap counterfeit/knock-off. However, that guy with a review that made it sound like it is an almost-original-rolex-quality, well, it is not, and it doesn't have that quality (What did you expect really, for less than a 100 bucks?).
Now, I am overall satisfied with my buy (taking into account how much money I inverted on this, it's ok), but after reading the first reviews posted and receiving and inspecting my unit, I can't avoid feeling like these brand of watches keeps getting cheaper, and I do not mean of a cheaper price, but of a lower quality. E.g., some people complained it was not "Swiss made" but "Swiss movement", well, let me inform you that now it is not even Swiss movement. At least there is no "Swiss movt" label to be found anywhere on the watch. Once again Amazon will have to remove the pictures and put new ones without the swiss movt label.
Also, the hour hand is kind of "off the mark" a little bit. I mean, when it's 12 o'clock, and the minute hand is directly pointing at 12, the hour hand is pointing a little bit to the left, like 5 or 6 degrees off towards the 11 position. It is not noticeable but when both hands should be perfectly aligned, and you can almost correct it by playing to set the time; and please note that I said almost. Therefore I only give it 3 stars, it doesn't deserve more.
Will I return it? No, it is not worthy of spending money on sending it back (UPS from mainland Europe to continental USA would cost me at least 70 euros) and it is a good looking watch, solidly built and of a good quality for the money spent on it, I will probably use it for scuba diving on the mediterranean (And I know, I'm not supposed to, But what the heck, I bought a "russian diver" so I will use it for diving; if it breaks down, it was a cheap watch). Will I buy another watch again from Invicta?, no, not again, at least not a russian diver; and not on-line. In any case, I will see it first in person, before buying; But I really prefer to spend 4-5 times more on a trusty titanium EcoDrive, or even 67 times more on an original Milgauss (I work with repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulators and around MRIs frequently) when I save enough money for it.

After reading good reviews, I dive in to be one of the owners of this cheap but functional watch. It really looked good, and it's not too rugged (somewhat elegant). The band might be stiff as others mentioned but I have no problems with it, since I won't be bending the wrist band always while using it. I've only tested the water resistant feature in a swimming pool and after swimming around 5 feet underwater for almost an hour (not straight of course, I have to breath and rest), the water seems helpless to conquer the watch. I wish it would serve me 3 years before I have to change the batteries. Good buy.

A geat watch at a great buy. If you want a good looking waterproof watch at a great price, this watch can't be beat. It looks a lot more expensive than it's price. I had no trouble with the band and I can't understand why others complained about it; maybe they were'nt used to that type of clasp.

Well, after reading all the reviews here I decided to go for it and buy this watch. Hey, for this price? I'm sure glad I did.
Anyway, it looks like a 300 dollar watch, real nice. I like the curved crystal, the rubber strap is ok and it did dig into my skin but I sanded
the ends of the straps on the skin side and its ok now. I really like the light and you CAN use it as a flashlight. The bezel looks great but
feels a bit flimsy when you turn it. Its a bit hard but it should break in after a while. Over all, a really great buy. I vote yes.

I must say that I was pleasantly surprised by this product. Since I have bought this watch, I have recieved many compliments on sophisticated this watch was-thinking to myself that I got it for a great price! In the month I have had this product, I have not lost a minute-it is still precise.

It seems the most dive watches today are enormous, huge hunks of stainless steel weighing about five pounds sitting on your wrist. Not being a fan of the "bigger is better" trend in watches in general, I am very pleased with this Casio.
The dial size is in line with a normal-sized watch. Although some have an issue with the strap, I find it quite comfortable. The dial is easy to read, the bezel moves smoothly, and the screw-down crown is easy to use to set the date and time. The illumination is terrific. For the price, I really can find nothing poor to say about this timepiece.
I am a large man (6'4") and the watch looks fine on my wrist, not under-sized.
