Customer Review: Timex Navman 11 Sensor
The vendor (Pro Sport Watches) included a watch (at no extra cost) along with the sensor and this turned out as a plus for me since I had ordered only the sensor. The system works fine and I would recommend Pro Sport Watches to my running friends. Regards Eric E. Clarke

Timex T5E011 Pedometer

Easily track your steps on your way to better health with this Timex Pedometer (model T5E011). Nicely compact and lightweight, it counts up to 99,999 steps, computes burned calories, and tracks distance in either miles or kilometers. It also features a flip top case with spring loaded belt clip, easy-to-read display, and an included battery with up to a 10,000-hour battery life.


Customer Review: VERY POOR PRODUCT
This is an extremely poorly designed pedometer. I sent the first one back because it was registering steps if I just swayed my hips or even if I held it in my hand and just moved it back and forth. I contacted Timex who told me it sounded like it was a defective unit, so I contacted Amazon and they sent out a replacement immediately. The second one does the exact same thing! I will be sending the second one back too, but for a refund this time, not just an exchange. With a brand like Timex, I would have expected a much more reliable product.
Customer Review: pedometer
Easy to use, easy to read, reset, etc. I find that this pedometer encourages me to walk a little further! It's fun to see how many steps you actually take a day!

The unisex Timex Midsize Black/Silver Ironman Sleek iControl Watch transmits signals seamlessly to your ipod.

Designed to work with your body and coordinate with your iPod or with your iPhone (in airplane mode), the iControl watch is sleek and comfortable to wear. This watch is compatible with iPod 5th generation (video); iPod Nano 2nd generation (aluminum) 2GB, 4GB, and 8GB; iPod 5th generation (video) 60GB and 80GB; iPod Nano 1st generation 1GB, 2GB, 4GB; and the iphone.

The digital-gray dial face with its Indiglo night-light offsets the black and silver-tone bezel, and the case, which is made of durable resin, measures 41.5 millimeters. A resin band and buckle clasp ensure a steadfast fit. For further practicality, a day-date-and-month calendar is also included, and the watch can be adjusted for three time zones. Other features include a 50-lap memory, three alarms, a countdown timer, two interval timers, and a chronograph function. This sophisticated timepiece is powered by digital-quartz movement, is water resistant to 330 feet, and is backed by a 1-year manufacturer's warranty.
Customer Review: Makes my life easier
I'm a runner and I listen to my Ipod usually when I run. When I saw the feature of this watch that I could make changes to my Ipod while running and not have to stop anymore I jumped at the oportunity. It works great! The other feature it has that works wonderfully for me is the multiple alarms. I set one for when I want to wake up the second to let me know when I have 15 minutes before I will be late and the third to let me know, I'm late! The numbers and letters are very easy to read and I love the Indiglo face. Just the numbers glow and not the entire face. Nice touch. Needless to say I am very pleased with the watch and will recommend it to my friends.
Customer Review: Son is so happy
My 14 year old son loved this from the start. Once he set it up to his Ipod, that was easy. He was seeing how far away he could get and still have it work, if he could turn it on if he left it in the car and he could. He called his best friend to tell him about the watch. When his dad got home he ask him to look at his Ipod now watch this. He keep turning it off and on and the sound up and down. He told me this was the second best gift he had got. I think the Ipod would be the first. Great price $49.99 this was a home run as a gift.


You are looking to buy a GPS tracking watch and want to know who makes the best one. The answer to that may be simple, there are only three well known companies making them; Garmin, Timex and Suunto. That is not to say there aren't other companies out there making cheap knock offs but we won't focus on them. Some might say "What about Casio? They are a well known company." That is true and they make some fine products but they no longer make a GPS watch so that leaves Garmin, Timex and Suunto.

When looking at the models being offered by each company you will find a variety of available features. I think it is important to mention what these watches won't do since there may be some misconceptions out there. Many of us have, or have seen a GPS system in a car or boat. These are really neat gadgets to have and can be a real time saver especially for those who travel extensively for work or pleasure. These units display your position on a map and may include landmarks like restaurants, gas stations, etc. GPS watches have very small display screens so the mapping feature is not practical. Neither is the voice feature present to tell you when to turn!

GPS tracking watches use satellites to pinpoint a position, then with continuing updates of the position, they display data for speed, distance, elevation and more, depending on the model. Options might include a heart rate monitor or cycling cadence tracker.

You may quickly see a couple of important variations in the way the companies package their GPS watches. In all cases, the systems use a GPS receiver and a digital time piece to carry out the calculations. Being a watch they all offer the display of data in what appears to be a wrist watch although sometimes quite large. The GPS receiver may be contained within the watch or, separately, strapped to the arm or possibly mounted on a belt. It would be wise to give this issue some thought before making a purchase. I would prefer to have the watch and GPS receiver self contained and worn like a traditional watch, but opinions vary.

Garmin has the Forerunner 205, 305 and 405 which are all-in-one models, having the appearance of a digital wristwatch but of larger size. They also offer the Forerunner 101 and 102 which use a Velcro strap around the wrist but have the appearance more similar to wearing an iPod.

The Garmin line uses a receiver that is built in and wraps around the wristband, a bit, to keep it oriented to the sky for better reception. The units also include a USB to share data with your PC. An A/C battery charger is used to top off the battery which generally provide about 8 to 10 hours of tracking use.

Timex has been making watches almost forever and has offered athletic oriented models for decades. Tri-athletes and Timex go way back. They use a separate watch / GPS receiver approach unlike Garmin. This does have some advantages, including the ability to wear the watch everyday since it is small enough to be practical. When the time arises you simply turn on and secure the separate GPS receiver and you are ready to go. Timex also offers an almost endless array of athletic watches.

The third manufacturer is Suunto which as you might guess offers several models. They generally have the appearance resembling a typical digital wristwatch. The GPS receiver is contained in a separate wireless so the watch can remain very compact. Typical options are; altimeter, barometer, countdown timers heart rate monitors etc.

The technology evolves continuously so smaller, cheaper models will likely become available in the near future. It will also be interesting to see if other companies will join in and offer their own line of GPS tracking watches.

Timex T5J031 Unisex Digital Fitness Heart Rate Monitor Watch

From Timex arrives the ultimate training partner for health and fitness enthusiasts alike. Input your target fitness heartrate zone and you will be kept on course with audible alert and visual in-zone indication on screen. The 27-lap memoryrecall and calorie expenditure mean this is the ultimate for heart rate training both during and after workout. This Timex watch gives the user heart rate analysis for one session by displaying minimum, average and peak heart rate, arguably the most important factors of each training session. Heart rate can either be viewed as percentage of maximum heart rate or simply by the heart rate beats per minute. Digital transmission allows the user to train in a gym environment within close proximity to other heart rate monitor users without experiencing any interference. With a heart rate monitor using analog transmission, it is possible that the user may have inaccurate readings of heart rate. Crossover interference is when the signals for two or more heart rate transmitters interfere with each other. The Target Fitness Heart Rate Monitor allows you to train without being interrupted. The user also has the option to download the heart rate data to a PC by purchasing the Timex Data Recorder 2. This is a software package solution that can assist data control of fitness progression over time. Features: Time and date, Chronograph with lap and split, One top pusher for mindless lap and split, 27-Lap memory recall, Countdown stop timer, 1-Alarm, INDIGLO® night-light, Water-resistant 30m, Workout summary mode, Calorie expenditure, Digital transmission signal, Recalls minimum, average and peak heart rate, View heart rate as % Max or Beats per minute (BPM), 5-Auto and 1-manual heart rate zones with Time-in-zone recall, Recovery zone, Audible and pointer zone alert, Owner replaceable battery on chest strap, Data Recorder 2 compatible
Customer Review: Great product for the price
I bought this watch in June to help me with a running program that required a heart rate monitor. After reading reviews on Amazon for a number of watches, I bought this one and have been thrilled with it -- so much so that I bought one for my wife and talked my sister into buying one as well as she trains for a 10 mile race. This one does all of the basic functions that you want in a heart rate monitor -- tracking your heart rate with minimums and maximums, giving you 6 heart rate zones to choose from, warning you when you are outside of your target zone, etc. I used it within hours of unpacking the box. What it doesn't do is allow you to download your workout onto a computer after you are done, and it doesn't really have a good interval function that automatically takes you through a cycle of intervals -- you can get both of those functions on other watches, but for the price this one is does all of the basic stuff at a very good rate. I've lost 10 pounds in six weeks just using this watch, so I'd highly recommend it.
Customer Review: Disappointed - might have been good but not water resistant
I was looking forward to using this for running. I liked the combination of features, the style, ease of use. I jumped in the pool after my second run with it. When I got out there was water in the crystal. I hadn't pushed any buttons while in the pool and was never more than a couple feet under. My previous Timex's never had this problem.

Pittsburgh Penguins Agent Series Team Watch

Sporty, durable, and a great price, the Agent Watch is a hit with sports fans of all ages! Features include: Stainless steel back, black textured PVC band, Rotating Bezel, Quartz Accuracy, Shock Resistant/Water Resistant (3ATM), Limited Lifetime Warranty, and is officially licensed!


The origins of Timex will take you to Naugatuck Valley in Connecticut, which is also known as the Switzerland of America mainly because of the high precision and excellent quality that have been produced in this region. In 1850, Waterbury Clock launched a wrist watch which was within the reach of the American working class, and met with instant success. The watches were still of impeccable quality and stylishly designed; however, instead of expensive casings and dials, they were simple consisting of stamped brass movements which were possible to be marketed at low-cost due mass production.

The success of this innovation prompted the Company (Waterbury Clock) to produce yet another first in 1880, i.e. the first low cost mechanical watch which was once again a runaway success. In fact, records show that this watch sold more than any other company in the world did. This watch became so popular that demands for it came from Europe, Africa, North America and even Japan. At that time, Timex was still unknown to the world. The year 1900 saw another great innovation, which (like its predecessors) sold more than the wildest expectation of its manufacturers: the Yankee pocket watch, which sold at that time more than 40 million pieces worldwide.

In 1930, the Waterbury Clock reached its peak and looked like it was going down. It was at this time they signed a very unusual contract with the world famous and hugely popular Walt Disney Productions for a special type of promotional watch with Disney characters on it. This decision of the would-be Timex was excellent, as it turned the company around and it re-established it among the leaders of watch manufactures of the world. The Disney watches would stay on the top of the best-sellers for more than six decades, a feat that has yet to be accomplished by any other watch.

In 1940, when WWII was underway, the company was renamed as US Time Company, and dedicated itself to manufacturing equipment for the war such as timed artillery, anti-aircraft machinery, and others with the same precision and impeccable quality they dedicated to their watches over the past eight decades. In 1950, the US Time became known as Timex; this is the name this company has been using ever since. This same year, the Company launched a wonderfully economical, yet exceptionally efficient, mechanical mass-produced wrist watch.

Thanks to their wealth of experience earned during the WWII production of high precision artillery, this watch's most remarkable attributes were passing the tremendous torture tests it was subjected to. This contributed to advertisement campaigns, which boosted its sales right through the roof. people were encouraged to suggest how they wanted this watch to be tested, and after every test the watch was still ticking.

Today, Timex is still a leader in technology with the unmatched yet Indiglo light, which gives the watch the appearance of the having light on all the time (though in reality, it isn't). This is possible with the help of a sophisticated procedure where a hologram type material is infused into the dial of the analogue and digital watches alike.

Timex - A Walk Through History

The origins of Timex will take you to Naugatuck Valley in Connecticut, which is also known as the Switzerland of America mainly because of the high precision and excellent quality that have been produced in this region.

It also offers water resistance to 100 meters (330 feet), three alarms (with 5-minute backup), and three time zones. Other features include a top pusher for easy access to lap and split times, an occasion mode to set reminders for birthdays, anniversaries, holidays and appointments, and all-day white reflector display.

Customer Review: Lightweight, Options, and Ease of Use Make this a Great Watch
I have purchased many Timex watches over the years and I am entirely satisfied with this watch. I always buy the sports watch, as I swim and do triathlons. Things I like about the watch: *Setting the watch is easy and the instructions are clear (although the printed instructions are very small!) * The watch is not too big. So many watches have too many features and they are large, bulky, and heavy. This watch is sleek, has a low profile, and has a size that is ideal for average needs. * The numbers are big enough to see easily at a glance. * There are enough useful options, and this watch is not overloaded with too many options. Too many options are confusing to me. I like the simplicity of this watch and the ease of use of the options it has. * I like the plastic watch band. I have tried the velcro strap bands and they wear out after a year or so of use. The plastic band will eventually break, but is fairly easy to replace. * I like the price. At less than 35 dollars I have everything I need in a watch. * I like and use frequently the Indiglo feature. I have even used Indiglo to find my way to the bathroom at night from bed! The light on the dial is bright enough to make your way through the dark for a short trip! Things I don't like: There is not much I don't like about this Timex watch. I suppose my biggest complaint about this watch and any Timex watch is the difficulty in changing the battery. The battery will eventually need replacement, and of course one has to take off the back of the watch to replace the battery. This is tricky and takes a steady hand. I wish Timex would make the battery more accessible so changing the battery would be as easy as sliding one in or out of a hinged door (like on a hearing aid). Obviously, there is much more to like about this watch than not like. I do recommend it for a good sport watch. It will withstand chlorine pools, lake water, rainfall, high and low temperatures, but be careful not to scratch the dial window! I scratched the main window crystal and ruined my last watch. Avoid spraying any kind of bug repellant on the window as well, as this can mar (dull) the surface. For me, this watch meets all my needs and I give it a 5-star rating. My needs are faily simple. There are certainly other watches that offer more features, but to me, the added features add complexity and are not worth the added bother. The price is good. The watch is good quality. This is a good buy. Jim "Konedog" Koenig
Customer Review: Looks great, works great!
This is a very attrative watch that isn't too small or too bulky. My husband really likes the flix feature and the dual times that can be set.

Customer Review: 1 was great, 2 were worthless & returned. Now Amazon says problem widespread and "not replaceable"
(Written by husband, Kent.) My first one I loved, but as warned in another review, after one year, the band split (in the groove) from edge to fastener hole. Because the band is integrated with watch body, it is unwearable and therefore useless. I don't think a $50+ watch should be worthless in just 1 year because of a $.25 resin band! Thought I'd give Timex one more chance since I liked the watch so much. (should have trusted other reviewers more...) After receiving my second watch, the analog time lost more than 4 minutes in less than 24 hrs. I returned it for another; Amazon was very quick :-). Third watch's analog time lost over 3 minutes in 15 hrs! Amazon now says they won't send a replacement. The following is pasted from Customer Service response to my return request on the 3rd watch: "As it seems that the problem with this item is more widespread than we originally thought, we are not able to send another replacement. We will investigate and remedy the situation with the item; however, I cannot guarantee when the error may be fixed." the good: 1. very visible - digital readout is large so not blocked by analog hands as on other digi-analog combo watches. 2. with first watch the analog portion kept good time. 3. very slightly recessed crystal - didn't get scratched. 4. adjustments go forward AND backwards - very convenient! 5. separate "weekday" alarm - no going off on Sat. 'cause I forgot to turn off! the bad: 1. band lasted 1 year & watch is now useless! 2. keep reading previous line & save yourself the hassle! :-) This watch has fantastic potential if Timex will fix their abysmal, and inexcusable, manufacturing and quality control problem.
Customer Review: Great Value + Really cool looking watch
I bought it as a way to keep track of the times for each mile (or Km) on my runs and it does the job really well, it tells you total run so far as well as the current lap time, and you can change the location of each time (above and small or bellow and big). I gave it 4 stars because it lacks an average lap time option and best lap time. Besides that, it has a great alarm system and dual time zone clock, witch is good when you're on a different time zone and don't want to change your watch back and forth.

This model is medium-sized with a black round resin case, water-resistant up to 30 meters with an 8-year battery life and a durable black nylon grosgrain strap. Luminescent hands and markers.


Italian charms refer mainly to Italian jewelry. They are the rage not only among teenagers but also among adults. People buy them to wear, collect or display.

Italian charms are often available in different styles. If you are buying in bulk, heavy discounts can be had on these purchases. Italian charms can be purchased online also. A number of web sites have come up during the last few years. These online merchants deal in a vast variety of Italian charms.

Italian charms are available in different price ranges. Some of the expensive and exclusive items are also resold. The secondhand Italian charms are also getting quite popular. But before purchasing the latter, one should be sure about the quality.

It is always better to compare products offered by various designers before taking a final decision. The comparison has to be made in terms of design, material and prices. An Italian charm that looks good may not be actually that good.

If you can buy an Italian charm from a local designer or seller, you can replace it if it doesn't meet the promised standards. Interestingly, a large number of merchandisers have started purchasing Italian charms from outside Italy. These Italian charms are produced at factories in China, and often compromise with the quality. Thus there is always a possibility that the Italian charm you purchased recently was shipped from Beijing.

If you want a genuine Italian charm, you should try out one of the several exclusive showrooms of Italian charms, which have sprung all over the world during the last few years. Many of these charms are also available in jewelry and department stores.

TX16503BK, Timex watch band, Black nylon velcro one piece band


It is always tough to choose a special Christmas gift for your wife, isn't it? Well, I was pretty much in a similar situation until I picked up my laptop and began researching on stuff being offered out here on the internet that could stand out as worthy gifts for my wife. And I sure did find my answer, which I am sharing with you here.

Nowadays, shopping online has more pros than cons. It helps you avoid the malls, parking and cranky shoppers. Moreover, more that 75% of the sellers online are willing to offer extravagant discounts just because their competition is doing the same. Well, as buyers why miss out on this chance? Who knows you may end up with a free holiday to Switzerland apart from getting that special gift you have been searching around for so long!

Another benefit of purchasing on the internet is that returning products is just so easy! You can pop the gift right back into the mail and await a return that way vs., getting in your car, driving through traffic, waiting in line to return your item and of course, dealing with the mall! But buying online may also be stressful just because there are so many options, so much stuff being sold out there. The more you visit, the more puzzled you get. I have spent considerable time going through seller websites online and here I list some really distinctive yet special ideas that I came across during my research.

Here goes...


  1. Cosmetics:
  2. I had to start with this! Well, females and cosmetics go hand in hand and am sure I don't need to explain that any further. Some websites that I came across are offering excellent packages this year end, which they personally wrap and deliver for you. There was this portal selling an innovative scheme of stuffing a Christmas stocking with your wife's latest cosmetic desires. They also had something called a Santa bag going for an even bigger bargain. I would say, this is definitely worth taking a look at.
  3. Jewelry and other accompanying gifts:
  4. I know you must be like, there are just so many websites selling these thing online. But wait! Do not fall for that trap. The best thing to do if you're looking for jewelry is to visit auction websites, the best part being these items can be purchased for as low as 5% of their actual cost! And there's an auction running every 5 seconds which usually start at a meagre $1! You just need to go in there and register and you're ready to go. So if you are on a limited budget, this one is surely for you.
  5. Fur coats, Fur capes, Fur party hats:
  6. A genuine mink fur jacket is something any woman would love as a Christmas gift. Most of the sellers that I researched offer these coats in ALL sizes plus offer free shipping on them too. So if you are willing to spend a bit on the higher side, a fur coat is definitely a unique and special gift to give.
  7. Fashion supplements and footwear:
  8. Cool fashion-wear is another item that females would love to own. Footwear is not a bad pick either. Find out which kind of shoes does your lady usually prefer to wear. Surf the net and collect the top brands selling designer footwear in the market. There are usually some fabulous sales and discounts offered on most of these products online around this time of the year, which you would love to make use of!
  9. Designer bags:
  10. Good quality designer bags are a handy gift for the ladies too. There are some really great brands going for pretty cheap out here on the net, and have everything from great variety to any favored brands.
  11. Flower bouquets:
  12. Traditional but still effective, a bouquet of flowers always works. The best sellers on the web offer to send to any country of your choice plus FREE shipping. So even if you are spending Christmas in different countries, there's nothing to worry about. Just need to place an order online and the rest is taken care of.

Well, these are some of many ideas that I came across during my research this time around.

You can surely can get access to many more suggestions on what to buy for your wife this christmas, and even immediate links to the products at Just Xmas, all for free! Or just paste http://justxmas.elementfx.com in your address bar to visit. Hope my research has helped make Christmas shopping a smoother process for you. Have fun!

The Rules on How to Accessorize

The evolution of style is something that some of us may never understand. Even so, we try to manage with our own sense of accessorizing elements. With many fashion trends making their presence known, the ease of putting things all together becomes quite a blur. Here are some rules on putting it all together.

1. Find a Function. Whether it's a ring, a necklace, or a watch, imagine the item as a member of a band. You don't ever see a drummer without a drum set, so why would you add an accessory that didn't have a purpose?

While the watch on your arm functions as a timepiece, your earrings should serve as a similar purpose. Do the dangling jewels add variety and accents to your outfit or do they simply hang boringly? Pick items that will catch attention and add some flair. Think sophisticating and shiny rather than a plain old watch band.

Function also comes into play when you pick the clothing. If you choose a patterned shirt, skip the necklace. A glimmering watch band is much more fashionable (and functional) than a bright necklace on an already brightened shirt.

Go for meaning when you pick your accessories. A beautiful watch band will help your outfit go much farther than a pretty necklace will.

2. Pick your Palette. The days of one color wardrobes are long gone. Imagine that you're decorating a room in your house. You wouldn't put white furniture with white walls and white carpet, would you?

Start with the main colors of your outfit and work outwards. If you're shooting for denim with lavender, add accessories in other colors (such as turquoise earrings and a silver watch) that will add flavor and vibrancy to your wardrobe. Planning to alter your colors will not only help you vary your wardrobe but will also add a touch of class. Great color mixes include a combination of blacks, tans, whites, blues, reds, and greens. To get the best blend, try alternating shades of the same color.

In real estate, it's about location. In fashion, it's about color. Remember this when you're shopping for your next favorite accessory.

3. Eliminate Excess. Many companies offer a set of jewelry that all fits into one general theme. These usually include matching earrings, necklace, ring, and sometimes even a watch. Although these happen to be a great deal, the idea of matching is no longer a general rule when it comes to style.

Picture your wardrobe as one giant puzzle. Each accessory is a corner piece to this puzzle and essentially keeps it all together. If you added six corner pieces to your puzzle, you'd end up with an incomplete (and quite lopsided) project. So, add accessories in moderation. If the gemmed watch band adorns your arm, leave the bracelets and necklace home for the night.

So, the next time you go out and overload your wardrobe, keep the accessories to a minimum and put some function into your stylish color palette.

Timex Men's Ironman Triathlon 42 Lap Combo Dual Tech Dress Watch #T56371

Accept no imitations or limitations. There is only one Timex IRONMAN* Triathlon®. Stylish enough for the weekend warrior, technical enough for the extreme athlete. Don't swim, bike, run, jump, climb, throw, or kick without one.
Customer Review: Very good watch...
This watch works and looks great. I have owned the watch for about 2 months and the only thing I can find wrong with it is the watch hands some times block the numbers. I knew this would happen when I bought the watch so I can't complain. I never take off the watch, so it needed to be durable and this watch seem bulletproof. My watch has not lost a second of time since I bought it. You do have to set the digital and analog watches separately. I swim, work out, hike and sleep with this watch and it works just like I had hoped. The band has started to show some skuffs, but only on the bottom. The glass is flush with the top of the watch, so I was a little concerned that it might get scratched or worse yet cracked. Nothing yet. My past IronMan watches had recessed faces to protect them a little. It weighs a little, but I hope that just means it will be more durable. Looks sharp and can take pretty good bump. I would recommend this watch to anyone.
Customer Review: Excellent Watch
Watch is very heavy and appears to be built to last a long time. I had another Iron Man Datalink watch that lasted for 5 years and I had to replace it when the battery retainer broke but the case and band were still good. This watch looks good and has all the functions I wanted - mainly all metal, water resistent and timer function. I bought a casio on Amazon about a year ago because it looked all metal but it had a plastic case and ended up getting water logged. I don't expect to have that problem with this one.

Timex Expedition Metal Field Mini Watch T41181

From the mountains to the sea, Timex Expedition has no boundaries. Worn by extreme outdoor adventurists like Conrad Anker, Timex Expedition belongs to the great outdoors.


Piercing refers to the art of puncturing the body with a needle in order to wear jewelry in the holes. The most popular sites for body piercing are the ears, the nose, tongue, eyebrows, nipples, navel, labia and penis. Piercing is usually carried out without anesthesia in beauty or tattoo parlors. The actual act of piercing does not take more than a few minutes and is done with a needle or a piercing gun. The actual piercing is done after the skin has been cleaned and disinfected.

Though piercing is gaining popularity, it carries with it its own sets of hazards, if not carried out in sterile conditions. Sometimes piercing also could also result in a badly formed earlobe as a result of weakening and tearing of the tissue, contact dermatitis, rupture of the urethra and an infection of the foreskin of the penis to name a few. To avoid falling prey to these infections is not to get pierced in the first place, and if one does, then to make sure that the person performing the piercing is doing it in sterile conditions and is trained professionally. Also make sure that the jewelry being used is of 14 or 18 carat gold, titanium, surgical steel or niobium as jewelry made of brass plate and nickel alloys can trigger a skin allergy.

Piercing is an age old custom -- the Egyptians and the Romans did it. In Rome, slaves who were gladiators very often had to have their genitals pierced so they would always have to get their masters consent before indulging in sex.The Aztec and the Maya tribes as well as some of the American Indian tribes also pierced their lips as a ritual. Mayans, being a warrior tribe, pierced their septum as well to intimidate their enemies.

During the dark ages the interest in piercing faded away to come back into full swing in England during the Elizabethan age where it was a great way for nobility to display their wealth and status by wearing an earring (a pearl drop or a stud).Women of that age too became more adventurous and the conservative form of dress gave way to dipping necklines as well as nipple piercing, which proved to be a great visual stimulus in the bedroom!

In the 1960s hippies who traveled back from India brought the custom of nose piercing to the west. This has diversified into many different types of body piercings in todays world.

Timex T5H911 Unisex Digital Fitness Heart Rate Monitor Watch

From Timex arrives the ultimate training partner for health and fitness enthusiasts alike. Input your target fitness heartrate zone and you will be kept on course with audible alert and visual in-zone indication on screen. The 27-lap memoryrecall and calorie expenditure mean this is the ultimate for heart rate training both during and after workout. This Timex watch gives the user heart rate analysis for one session by displaying minimum, average and peak heart rate, arguably the most important factors of each training session. Heart rate can either be viewed as percentage of maximum heart rate or simply by the heart rate beats per minute. Digital transmission allows the user to train in a gym environment within close proximity to other heart rate monitor users without experiencing any interference. With a heart rate monitor using analog transmission, it is possible that the user may have inaccurate readings of heart rate. Crossover interference is when the signals for two or more heart rate transmitters interfere with each other. The Target Fitness Heart Rate Monitor allows you to train without being interrupted. The user also has the option to download the heart rate data to a PC by purchasing the Timex Data Recorder 2. This is a software package solution that can assist data control of fitness progression over time. Features: Time and date, Chronograph with lap and split, One top pusher for mindless lap and split, 27-Lap memory recall, Countdown stop timer, 1-Alarm, INDIGLO® night-light, Water-resistant 30m, Workout summary mode, Calorie expenditure, Digital transmission signal, Recalls minimum, average and peak heart rate, View heart rate as % Max or Beats per minute (BPM), 5-Auto and 1-manual heart rate zones with Time-in-zone recall, Recovery zone, Audible and pointer zone alert, Owner replaceable battery on chest strap, Data Recorder 2 compatible
Customer Review: Very Poor Display. Faint, Thin and Angle-Sensitive. Poor Night Light. Otherwise OK
The reason I bought this was the heart rate function. The display falls woefully short in that area. The heart rate digits should be in a bolder font. Reading it while exercising requires good light and just the right angle. Otherwise you are done in by reflections and/or a dimmed-out display. A bolder font would help a lot. I still read the phone book or the stock market page of the paper without glasses, so my eyesight is not to blame. The display picture here shows it as easier to read than it is in the real world. When I am running or cycling, I want to read it at a glance, not struggle. What were they thinking? Did they test this in a well-lit gym only? Some people exercise outdoors under all conditions. On the bike, it is bad enough to have to look down at my wrist and rotate it to the right angle, but with this Timex, I have to raise my left hand up closer to my eyes. Sweat in the eyes coupounds the problem. I have even considered somehow mounting the watch on the handlebars of my bike at just the right angle so I can read it without dangerous distractions. The night light feature is all wrong. It is the opposite of other digital devices, and displays a dark field with fuzzy lighter digits. It is particularly difficult to read on awakening in a dark bedroom. Just trying to figure out what time it is often makes me more awake than I really want to be. Reading a lighted watch shouldn't be so difficult. This is so lame. I would recommend this only for those who exercise in a well-lighted gym and don't get sweat in their eyes, or those who exercise only under the best outdoor conditions. With an easier to read heart display and a conventional night illumination, I would give this five stars. I am returning it and looking for a brand with a better display.
Customer Review: It is ok
The watch is ok to me. I am not the smartest when it comes to gadgetry so I have a difficult time getting the heart rate monitor to work. Other features to the watch are good.


Now, you do not have to be a watch enthusiast to know about Rolex watches. If you have ever seen a gangster movie or even if you are just a normal movie watcher, you would have heard of them. Other than probably Timex and Swiss watches, Rolex is the most well known watch to man and one of the most expensive.

Most people who cannot afford one might watch and think these watch stores or jewelry merchants are trying to rob them and sink a hole into their pockets. What you should know is that like all the other products in the marketplace, the prices are set by market forces. More or less as long as someone out there is willing to pay to the highest bidder for one of these watches, there basically is no reason for businesses and/or companies to reduce the price. When you really think of Rolex watches, quality and value is the first thing that comes to mind, look at it this way, the waiting list one of these watches commands, means that a person might have to wait about two years before they get to the peak of the list.

Can the price be justified?

Now is it justifiable to pay such exorbitant prices for one item? Yes, it is. Why do I say that? I for one cannot deny you from wondering why this is so, but when you at it, you come across just by chance a Rolex watch that is fifty, sixty years old, yes a watch sixty years you might think the person is just keeping it as memorabilia, well you would be wrong. Wrong, because even with that age a Rolex would still be keeping as accurate a time as it did when it was first bought. Now if you have it, monetary wise, would you really mind buying one these watches. What you should worry about instead is if the one you are going to buy is the genuine article or not.

The US for example in order to be absolutely sure that you get what you pay for, it is normal for one to buy of these watches at an authorized dealer though however as it is human nature we find alternative sources for cheaper sources , which are unauthorized jewelers usually sporting a watch with the name Rolex on it. It would be a much smarter idea to purchase a Rolex from an authorized dealer because for one thing the manufacturers recommend this and also as common sense would advise buying from someone who you classify unauthorized somewhat guarantees a fake.

EBay is also an alternative option to purchase a Rolex watch where you can find thousands of results for the word Rolex, and unbelievably or believably as the case might be, that much and more are sold each year. What anyone considering this should know is that there is no guarantee when buying these items and also there is also the risk of being duped and tricked by sellers who would not think twice to sell you a counterfeit and running away with your cash.

In the first place, before even thinking of it or if you have slightest inclination towards one you try to find out how spot a knockoff or fake and the only way, the only safe way is to consult an authorized technician who will remove the case and inspect the parts, movements, and bracelet thoroughly, which however is time consuming but extremely worth it considering the alternative.

No matter where you go or where you buy it from a Rolex watch would have more or less the same prices, if it real that is. If you think you are being ripped off you can just check the serial number of the watch that is displayed on the watch's tag and check the suggested selling price. You might be able from some dealers to secure a discount but it would not be much considering the amount the dealers buy them for themselves, they practically have no choice.

As far as I am concerned a Rolex watch is the embodiment of style and class, magnificent quality and guaranteed enjoyment to the customer for years to come. So if you ever come across the chance to buy one do not worry about price, it is worth it.

Everybody in their life at least once has or will have a watch in their possession. Find out what is needed to know, in everything from antique pocket watches to the everyday wrist watches here at Shinkeno Watch Solution It might make the difference between you buying an ordinary watch or an extraordinary one.

Timex Electronic 7-Day Timer

In the months when darkness falls before the workday concludes, a well-lit house adds a touch of warmth to cold winter days. With this electronic, seven-day timer from Timex, light need not ratchet up electric bills or waste precious energy. Users simply plug a lamp into the timer and program the handy gadget to flick on moments before arrival. Users also can plug a coffee maker into the timer, for freshly brewed java first thing in the morning.

With heavy-duty grounded plug, the 1875-watt capacity timer services two and three prong electrical appliances alike. The LCD display presents easy-to-read digits for user convenience. The timer handles a full week's worth of programming, with twenty potential programs available per day. Vacationing users also can opt to set their timer on random, igniting plugged in lamps at unpredictable times to confuse possible burglars who might otherwise infer a vacant house. Times automatically adjust for daylight savings time. Timex offers an extended four-year warranty with product registration and fee. The timer measures 1-1/2 by 2-3/4 by 3 inches. --Jessica Reuling
Customer Review: Way too complicated, overkill on the functions
This is just way over the top, an example of too much technology for its own good. The buttons are too small and the display too dark to read, and somehow it never seems to go on & off when I wanted it to. I've had it with this.
Customer Review: Fairly simple timer with lots of features
We got this timer initially to make our coffee at work in the morning without having the cleaning lady get up early to do it, and it works great for that. The range of days that you can set this timer makes it nice, because we can have it plugged in with the coffee and water in the pot already and it will only turn on M-F. It was a little complicated to program at first, because there is an override button (make sure it is on auto if you want the timer to work right!) on it and the display is a little overcrowded, but it sure doesn't take an electronics expert to this machine out, either. I like the idea of having batteries built in as well, because our power tends to blink here. I do wish it didn't take up both wall outlets (too high), but that's not a very big issue for us. You could just plug a short extension into the wall and then plug this unit in (fire issues?) if you need both outlets. In general, this is a good timer with some nice features if you're willing to put up with a mediocre interface and display.


You are looking to buy a GPS tracking watch and want to know who makes the best one. The answer to that may be simple, there are only three well known companies making them; Garmin, Timex and Suunto. That is not to say there aren't other companies out there making cheap knock offs but we won't focus on them. Some might say "What about Casio? They are a well known company." That is true and they make some fine products but they no longer make a GPS watch so that leaves Garmin, Timex and Suunto.

When looking at the models being offered by each company you will find a variety of available features. I think it is important to mention what these watches won't do since there may be some misconceptions out there. Many of us have, or have seen a GPS system in a car or boat. These are really neat gadgets to have and can be a real time saver especially for those who travel extensively for work or pleasure. These units display your position on a map and may include landmarks like restaurants, gas stations, etc. GPS watches have very small display screens so the mapping feature is not practical. Neither is the voice feature present to tell you when to turn!

GPS tracking watches use satellites to pinpoint a position, then with continuing updates of the position, they display data for speed, distance, elevation and more, depending on the model. Options might include a heart rate monitor or cycling cadence tracker.

You may quickly see a couple of important variations in the way the companies package their GPS watches. In all cases, the systems use a GPS receiver and a digital time piece to carry out the calculations. Being a watch they all offer the display of data in what appears to be a wrist watch although sometimes quite large. The GPS receiver may be contained within the watch or, separately, strapped to the arm or possibly mounted on a belt. It would be wise to give this issue some thought before making a purchase. I would prefer to have the watch and GPS receiver self contained and worn like a traditional watch, but opinions vary.

Garmin has the Forerunner 205, 305 and 405 which are all-in-one models, having the appearance of a digital wristwatch but of larger size. They also offer the Forerunner 101 and 102 which use a Velcro strap around the wrist but have the appearance more similar to wearing an iPod.

The Garmin line uses a receiver that is built in and wraps around the wristband, a bit, to keep it oriented to the sky for better reception. The units also include a USB to share data with your PC. An A/C battery charger is used to top off the battery which generally provide about 8 to 10 hours of tracking use.

Timex has been making watches almost forever and has offered athletic oriented models for decades. Tri-athletes and Timex go way back. They use a separate watch / GPS receiver approach unlike Garmin. This does have some advantages, including the ability to wear the watch everyday since it is small enough to be practical. When the time arises you simply turn on and secure the separate GPS receiver and you are ready to go. Timex also offers an almost endless array of athletic watches.

The third manufacturer is Suunto which as you might guess offers several models. They generally have the appearance resembling a typical digital wristwatch. The GPS receiver is contained in a separate wireless so the watch can remain very compact. Typical options are; altimeter, barometer, countdown timers heart rate monitors etc.

The technology evolves continuously so smaller, cheaper models will likely become available in the near future. It will also be interesting to see if other companies will join in and offer their own line of GPS tracking watches.

I still remember getting to hold my first watch, the year was 1945 in Ballinger, Texas. It was a pocket watch my daddies uncle owned. He was an engineer for the railroad in New Mexico and the watch was given to him by the railroad. He was very protective of the watch, not many people got to look to closely at it much less get to hold it.

We had gone to the river for an afternoon of fishing. Uncle Lewis called me over and ask me to sit down beside him. After awhile he pulled out his pocket watch and ask me if I could tell time? He then handed me the watch and told me to look at it and see if I could tell him what time it was, I was so scared I would drop the watch I hardly looked at the face of it. He laughed and tried showing me how to read time. If my chest had gotten any bigger I think it would have burst. I don't remember learning a whole a whole lot about telling time but I was one proud boy. Uncle Lewis came back to visit us again later that year , and took the time to teach me how to tell time.

Back then the watches used on the rail roads were considered to be the finest time keeping pieces available . They had to be extremely accurate so the engineers could make sure they would make a switching place at the right time. If their timing was off by a few seconds it could result in a collision with another trail.

After Uncle Lewis taught me how to tell time, I made a promise to myself I was going to have a watch. It took me seven years to fulfill my promise but I gat a new watch for Christmas in 1952.

Every year our family would gather Pecans around Ballinger , then go to the Concho River and thrash the trees there. We sold the Pecans to help pay the taxes on our home and get an extra thing or two for the house.

Our family also pulled cotton in the fall to help make ends meet. At five years old I was expected to pull 50 lbs of cotton every day or I got in trouble with Daddy. Daddy and Mama had sewn a strap on a burlap sack and that was what I put my pulled cotton in. He wasn't mean we just need the money to make ends meet.

In the fall of 1952 there was a pretty good cotton crop that year. By this time I had been upgraded to a regular cotton sack. You were expected to take care of the new sack since it took what seemed like a lot of money then to purchase it. I was pulling around 300 lbs a day now that I had a grown man's sack, which was seven to eight foot long and when full a grown man could barley reach around it. We were paid $1.50 for every 100 lbs of cotton we pulled. The fields that were close to Ballinger I went to after school and pulled until cotton until dark, then on Saturday and Sunday we pulled from a little after day break until dark.

We were quite busy that year taking care of the farmers that had used us from season to season. Daddy was keeping tabs on how much each of us pulled. I didn't know it at the time but Daddy was showing that I had pulled 50 lbs less each day than what I had actually pulled. He kept this up for nearly the whole season, just telling my brother what he was doing.

As it got closer to Christmas my brother started carrying me along with him when he went to town. He would eventually get around to making the jewelry store to window shop. He would talk about what kind of watch he was going to buy when the one he was wearing wore out. Then he would start asking what kind of watch I thought I would like to have if I ever got the money to buy one. My mind was already made up, I had my eye on a small man's watch that was self winding and had a pretty leather band on it. This went on until two days before Christmas, when we went to town and did our usual window shopping and I found my prized watch was gone, some one had bought it. I just thought the world was coming to an end . I was still looking forward to Christmas though, because we always had something under the Christmas Tree.

Daddy pulled a good one on me that Christmas, he took the money from the extra cotton pulling and went to Tignar's Jewelry store and bought my prized watch. On Christmas morning I was the last one to make it to living room where the Christmas Tree was. Every body else was there drinking coffee and having a big time. The presents were handed out and all and opened and we were sitting around talking and looking at our new gifts. Mama got and ask me to check and make sure there were no more presents under the tree. I told her I was sure there wasn't any more but I would look. To my surprise I found one with my name on it. Every one told me to hurry and open it they wanted to see what was in the package. When I saw my prized watch all I could do was cry for joy.

I wore that watch until 1987 and only gave it up then because the jeweler said he couldn't fix it anymore it was just wore out. I still have the watch in a special place in the chest of drawers in our bedroom. It has no money value but the memory value is so precious it is worth more than silver or gold.

We live in a small town in West Texas close to Midland and Odessa. We have been married 47 years, have two daughters, four grandchildren and a spoiled dog. We visit the area nursing homes to check on the elderly and make sure they are taken care of. We have gathered a mountain of hugs and smiles doing this. My wife likes to work in her flower beds and cook, while I pass the time in my shop or doing work for the elderly that they can't afford to hire someone to fix for them. We stay active in our community and church.

My wife and I have started a new web site. (http://www.wesellnmail.com) We are new at his but we are having a great time learning. We have Bulova, Casio, Seiko, Invicta, Pulsar and Timex watches on our web site at this time. You can also sign up for a free new letter that has a new Pecan recipe in it each month. We have tried to make it a family web site so every one can enjoy it.

Customer Review: Very Accurate
I'm a little surprised that some of the reviewers question the accuracy of the GPS. I have calibrated dozens if not hundreds of times and have found it completely accurate with the exception of being near high tension wires, which makes it go a little crazy and will show me running a 2 minute mile in one direction and then a 30 minute mile coming back the other way. I haven't had this problem often.
Customer Review: Good, but not so good.
This watch is very complete and full of interesting and util functions. It helps a lot to have an accurate and more professional trainning. The problem is that I am not sure about the GPS' accuracy. Sometimes it shows inaccurate distance and speedy information.
