Can this watch be used for Track interval training?

Yes. A pre-workout can be set up with distances preset or each interval can be manually lapped during the workout. There is also an option to turn the GPS off during the workout and entering in the distance after from either a computer or smartphone using garminconnect.

Yes. It can even be set to auto-interval at set distances, so you don't have to press a button.

This watch has no cycling mode, so while you can theoretically bike with it, there's a lot of draw-backs. For example, if you set the pace alerts for a pace appropriate to cycling, then those same alerts will likely be useless while you are running. You have to manually change those alert ranges for running. Similarly, if you go for a ride, the watch will starting telling you that you've set all sorts of personal records (2-minute fast mile!, longest run ever!, etc). I biked with this watch only a few times before deciding I wanted a dedicated bike computer.

Yes. The strap around your mid-section is barely noticeable which measures your heart rate. The watch itself is about that same size as any other sport watch.

Yes, you can track your distance, pace, BPM while running! I'm really happy with mine.

Nope. You should invest in a Garmin watch :). This just does STRAIGHT intervals. You could time the 5 min warm up and cool down on your own. . . then use this for the 7:2's.

Hello C. Day, I have used this GPS watch only once for swimming. I looked at my watch right now: It's awesome. You can enter the pool seize, you can enter goals (distance, time, calories), you can choose interval training (warm-up, work, rest, number of sets, cool down), you can choose lapes (by time and distance). You can set the watch display to show two of the following: duration, distance, lengths, swolf, strokes, and calories. I hope this feedback helps.

Yes. And very easy to setup. You have a simple "chrono" mode, the second mode is Intervals where you can set the interval sets and workouts.

I don't think so. Whenever I use the pulse monitor to check my heart rate it gives me a ridiculous number like 93 in the middle of a cardio workout. When I use the exercise function it gives you a calorie burn number that sounds reasonable but there is no way to know if it is accurate because it is based on settings in the watch that are supposed to be described in a manual that I never received. I think it was a waste of money

Hi Meridian,I Started using it as my day to day watch and in after a few weeks I got back to my good old Timex ironman . It is great for running

While the watch can calculate (recorded to be exact) heart rate during any activity (given the HR strap is used), i'm not sure whether the calories burn calculation is accurate. You can check TomTom watch's FAQ or ask the question directly.

Only if u are setting it to keep track. You would have to also periodically check your pulse for a reading. This is strictly used for when you are exercising

This does not do that this is strictly an interval timer that you set for a specific length of time. You might want to consider the Garmin watches that track using GPS. There is a great comparison on a website by DCRainmaker. You can Google him.

Yes, it can do both. They are actually back-to-back options as you toggle through the possible views during a run. I would offer that I've used Garmins in the past and the their pace seems more accurate, and quicker to adjust, while on the run itself - an important quality if pace is your go-to metric while on the run. It will all even out once you upload the run to your running site of choice but that's of little consolation while running. Don't get me wrong - this is a small complaint and I like the watch so far.

You will have every fonctions as cardio tracking but the speed and position will not work, but the watch will register many data and when you will have internet acces will load it.

Yes! You can make your "training" on "intervals"..Once there you can set: Warmup (distance or time) 1. Work (distance or time) 2. Rest (distance or time) # Sets Cooldown (distance or time) For any of the goals/training, you can set it to notify you via vibration or sound or both. Hope this helps!

No, I would not spend the money on this GPS if you are Not intending to go on many runs. Frankly it's a big ugly lumpy watch which serves its life purpose to track runs and mile splits. I bet you can find other nice slimmer timex watches which make good running watches for cheaper. Also, the GPS function is not great. I bought this model and the GPS stopped working. Timex does not even try to fix it, the just send a new one if your watch is still under warranty. They said these are hit or miss. So I bought a Garmin GPS watch and I'm super happy! I hope that helps.

Yes, my wife wears it while teaching spin & boot camp classes. She has even worn it while shoveling snow. The band is much smaller than the older heart rate monitor that she had. The watch is so lightweight that you forget you are wearing it.
