    TIMEX Wireless Fitness Tracker

    TIMEX Introduces Timex® Ironman* Wireless Fitness Tracker It's a digital transmitter and watch system that calculates calories, distance, steps and pace. This is a new product from TIMEX that I think is just absolutely great. Absolutely ANY woman can use this watch. Someone just curious about fitness to a hard core athlete. And with the holidays right around the corner this gadget makes for a great stocking stuffer that can't go wrong.

    All well and good, no great. BUT the feature I think sets it apart from the others is the fact that the watch is programed by you and ACTUALLY for you. Meaning your actual stride length. How else could it accurately calculate your numbers vs. my numbers when our leg length is no where near the same? I've tried the watch, programmed it minutes and entered my stride length walking, jogging and running. The watch can now track what I'm doing when I'm moving-either walking, running or jogging. Thereby calculating the different corresponding caloric numbers. You do not HAVE to calibrate it however. In classic TIMEX fashion, numerous options are available. The watch comes set to a typical woman's stride profile. You can even set step number goals so that when you reach that goal and alarm sounds. I'm telling you - there is now a watch that holds you accountable to your fitness goals and accomplishments. No questions asked.

    Didn't think of that one, did you? No worries-TIMEX did.

    TIMEX watches and especially their IRONMAN series are great for a reason. TIMEX has been around a long time. And in that time has done a great job of listening not only to their top level athletes but their top level consumers and has taken into consideration what is wanted, what is no longer wanted and what could be better. I think TIMEX not only listened to what women out there want but they came thru in the end with a product many if not most will find intriguing and a necessary addition to their daily workouts and daily routines. The watch sells for $89.95 and worth every penny.

    As a world leader in sport timing devices, Timex has created
    an array of watches that competitive athletes as well as non-athletes will no doubt enjoy.

    Timex Sports watches are equipped with a full array of
    features that will optimize your work-out or day-to-day activities. Design,
    comfort and accuracy are demanded by world-class athletes and Timex continues
    to introduce innovative products to meet the expectations of all athletes and
    fitness enthusiasts.
     Be sure to check out TIMEX.com for more exciting time pieces from the number one sports watch manufacturing in the world. At least I think they're number one!
