 Great product! Jun 27, 2008
By Christopher M. Kirby
I've had the Timex Body Link for 3 year and absolutely love it! Using the heart rate monitor & GPS is very simple, all you have to do is turn them on push the red display button and they start working. There are also a number of different display settings for enthusiasts to customize.
The watch comes with a heart rate monitor (chest strap) and a GPS piece. The GPS comes with a arm band and belt clip accessories. This is not a watch with GPS built in like Garmin watches.
Timex also sells a data recorder that works with the Body Link system, but I would not buy it again since the software that comes with it is pretty worthless. Besides, most of the information you would want to track can be stored in the watch and written down later.
Pros:
- Easy to get started with
- 100 lap memory
- Loads of different display modes
- Reasonably small compared to other GPS watches
- Great price
- Heart rate recovery timer
Cons:
- GPS needs a lot of "open" sky to work properly, if you plan on running on forest trails or in the city with a lot of high rise buildings the GPS can't lock on to enough satellites.

 Things fall apart.... Aug 30, 2005
By Benatarium

I have had the BodyLink system for two years now and I have had to send every piece in for service at least once. I have not subjected the equipment to any unusual stress. At the most I was running for two hours a week. I don't recommend this set to anyone.

Worst Purchase EVER! Aug 19, 2008
By Julia A. Smith
"JASPDX"
This watch was ridiculous! I tried 4 different times to get this watch to work on long runs. Only once did I get the GPS to connect to the watch. I thought for $165 I could get a decent alternative to the Garmin - I was wrong. I have returned the watch, which is a WHOLE story in itself. I still haven't gotten credited for the return after 2 ½ weeks. I called Jomashop, which Amazon outsourcers to and after sitting on hold for 20 minutes was told I would get my refund maybe in a week. Hum.............Not a great shopping experience.

Timex Bodylink with Heart Rate and GPS Apr 09, 2010
By L. Samuelson
"Pool-Deck-Mom"
This watch does everything that I expected it to do after reading other's reviews. One thing to remember: For me, the watch will not pick up the signal from the GPS if it first received the signal from the heart rate strap. This means that you need to turn on the GPS and lock-on before you put the heart rate strap on.

 Awesom Jan 27, 2010
By Steven Helder
I have had this product for 3 years and absolutely love it. I have never had any problem syncing it. I have really abused it. Using it for cycling as well as running. I recently replaced the band and battery.
I would definitely buy it again.
