Should I buy a Timex Road Trainer, or a Timex Race Trainer Heart Rate Monitor?

I was just wondering if anyone has owned either of these two heart rate monitor watch and if you could tell me about your experience with it, if you liked it, if it was easy to use, if it was worth the money, if there are any feature you wish it had that it doesn't, etc. I really want to buy one but i'm not sure which one and they both seem pretty good. Thanks!

    I'd definitely check out the reviews and look for some video reviews of each watch on YouTube.

    I have a watch from the Timex Marathon Sleek line and am very impressed... this is my 3rd Timex (I had two of the Marathon kid's versions when I was little) and they last so long and in my experiences with them, are always of high quality.

    I've used some of the heart rate Timex watches before and I didn't like the ones with the waist band as they were uncomfortable and would not pick up my heart rate well. While some people like the waist band, I didn't - it varies based on what you find comfortable and the exercises you are doing.

    The store I went to had them on display and there was a person at the counter willing to answer questions and let me hold the watches... if you want, ask them if you can do the same and any other questions you are unable to find the answer to.

    Best of luck! :-)
