The name Timex will be familiar to fans of athletics from its frequent appearance on their screen during races at major championships both past and present. The name has continued to be associated with athletics even since greater competition between timing companies led to other names appearing on our screens, and the effect that Timex as a company are now having on athletics timing is to be seen in the improved performance of a number of athletes who use their timing systems to monitor their own performance.

As an athlete in training, you can only get better by knowing which parts of the sport you have been getting wrong. If there is a weak spot in your athletic performance, a Timex Speed Distance System GPS Watch (t5b501) will be sure to detect it. It is amazing to think how it works, but a GPS watch does exactly what an in-car GPS sat nav system does, judging your speed from point to point by referring constantly to overhead Global Positioning Satellites (hence the name GPS).

Timex Speed Distance System GPS Watch (t5b501) is just one of the company’s wide range of timing watches that have become a valuable tool in the armoury of an athlete in training. By knowing where improvements need to be made, an athlete can commence the long road towards getting better and even one day competing at a high level. It is somewhat cyclical then, that a young athlete who may have taken up the sport after watching grainy footage of old races timed by Timex, may these days find themselves using a Timex watch to monitor their performance
