Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is without question the worst product on the market I have yet experienced. The bottom line: take your chances with a different manufacturer.
If you want a watch that DOESN'T sync with the cadence monitor, DOESN'T sync with the heart rate monitor and rarely finds a GPS signal, then this watch is for you. If however you are a serious athlete, or just expect to get what you pay for, then you will be very disappointed in the Timex Global Trainer.
If you plan on taking your chances by purchasing this device and need to ship the watch back to Timex for repair, count on a 4 week inconvenience of being without the training device. The lousy warranty, return policy and customer service is Timex's way of saying thank you for being a sucker and buying our product.
In addition, data loaded from the watch to the Timex Device Agent software is out of sync. Loaded times, distances, etc. are off by a few seconds, feet, etc. The only explanation is poor firmware/software design and development. One more frustration you can look forward to if you purchase this product.
The Timex Global Trainer is a great concept, but unfortunately Timex failed to bring a reliable product to market, and more importantly, failed to understand the market itself. A training aid like this can be invaluable, when it works. If it doesn't work it's just an extreme annoyance embedded in an already demanding schedule.
I will never buy Timex products again. I don't like flushing money down the drain, and I have enough to worry about juggling work, training and family without troubleshooting what is suppose to be a simple piece of technology.
Spend your money with a company that "gets" athletes' and builds reliable products.
