The Timex Datalink Keeps Track Of Your Workout Efforts

Features and benefits of Timex's Datalink.

The Timex Datalink is an ingenious device with even more functions than any regular watch. This watch is basically a pda that fits on your wrist. It has a calendar, stopwatch, multiple alarms, and a backlit display. It is also easy to customize and put in events through a connection with your computer. For all the features packed into it, it still comes in a small package of less than two ounces.

This watch/computer is also incredibly customizable. You can download applications, workout schedules, golf scores, a calorie counter, and team schedules to it through a regular USB port. The best part is that all these applications can be downloaded free off of Timex.com. This watch is also quite tough. It is water resistant for up to 100 meters, and you will have to replace the battery only every two years even with all of these high-tech features. If you do manage to damage this watch, it comes with a 1-year warranty.

As with all electronic products there are some downsides. It is rather expensive for an amateur athlete, and it is not supported for all operating systems. If you have a Mac computer or you are running Linux, then you are out of luck, you won’t be able to enjoy this great product. You must also be careful when downloading third party applications, because any damage caused by these applications will not be covered by Timex.
