My co-worker is looking for a new training watch for his girlfriend.  She wants a women's watch with a small body, so the FR305 is out of the running.  It needs to have a heart rate monitor as well as an interval timer that can countdown a run and a recovery period.  For example a 10:1 split.  I know the FR305 can do this.  My Ironman watch has an interval timer but no heart rate monitor.  What do you lovers of small HRMs use for this?

TIMEX has several HRM with a smaller watch for women.  It has function for calories burnt (I don't think it's very accurate, seems to over-estimate), 30-lap splits,, alarm etc.  I use one as a regular watch.  I think my model is obsoleted though.

I was looking at the Womens Ironman HRM for them but couldn't tell from the manual.  Does the interval timer have 2 alternating timers or is it a single timer?

One of the women I walk with on my lunch hour at work has a Polar RS200sd. When we were talking about it one day she mentioned it had both time and distance based interval timers, but we really didn't really talk about it any more other than that. As for the size, it wasn't much larger than a typical running watch would be. I have a basic Polar F4 right now, but would definitely give this one a look if I ever need to upgrade/replace it.
