Great Smart Watch - Easy to use and priced right!
I am very pleased with this smart watch. Having been a Fitbit person for many years, I became frustrated with them problems with my Ionic and the poor customer service. I decided to try the Timex and frankly didn’t think that I would be happy with it. I was pleasantly surprised! This watch is easy to use, tracks my heart rate, exercise and sleep more accurately than the Fitbit products. The face is easy to see in the sunlight and the Timex app provides the information that I need in detail. It charges fast and much more easy than the Ionic. The watch is comfortable and not too thick. Also, I like that it looks like a normal watch. The only negative is that I wish there were more exercise type options, or they were customizable. Other than that, I highly recommend this smart watch. It’s a great value and works!

WARNING!
If you have an Android phone, this phone will not work. Timex no longer supports the app on Android phones. I was on the phone with Timex support for over an hour trying to get a fix around with no luck. So Sad as the watch is very pretty. Very disappointed.

Happy with the purchase.
I was not sure about a Timex Smartwatch, since it is not one of the major brands. However, I had a very similar looking Timex analog watch a couple of years ago and loved it until it was stolen.I just recently purchased and received this one and so far, I am very happy. It is pretty simple compared to most watches, but I like the look of it specifically, mimicking a high-end analog watch. There is nothing groundbreaking about this watch with all he normal features that you expect from a $200 smart watch, however the battery life seems to be very good, better than most. So far it looks like it will last for multiple days even with regular use. The leather, and silicone strap is very comfortable. Pretty happy with my purchase. If that changes, I will update my review.

It’s not an Apple Watch, but that’s ok.
Happy I picked this up. It doesn’t the flair or most of the features of the Apple Watch, and instead only has a few. Fortunately, the ones it has are the only ones I care about…so I love this watch.Pros:Not expensive compared to Apple Watch.It looks and feels much more like a regular watch, and isn’t crazy heavy or bulky looking.I got a leather band that makes it feel even less smart watch like.The battery life is fantastic, I set the heart rate monitor to 1m intervals for sleep tracking etc and it still lasts for a week on a charge.Text alerts are simple and solid for what they are.Workout tracking is good enough for me, but I’m really only into that for walks/runs/steps.Cons:Could use a bit more watch face customization, that’s really what’s missing for 5 stars IMO.The app is a little wonky sometimes and doesn’t load things right away.There’s an option for an always on screen, what confuses me about that is the screen that’s always on is a specific one…and not your watch face. So you see the Time on the always on face and press the button, only to see your chosen watch face showing the time. Weird decision.Overall:If you don’t expect too much from it, it might be the perfect thing for you. If you want an Apple Watch, you’ll definitely be happier with an Apple Watch.

Meh. Could be better.
Not there yet. Battery, -2. Accuracy 3.My biggest complaint is that as a health monitor, I'm not impressed at all. I originally purchased to track my sleep. Well, it fails pretty miserably. Logs start time correctly about 20% of the time. If you're prone to using the restroom in the middle of the night, you will not be pleased. Last night I woke up at 1:30 am, used the restroom and when I checked my stats, it showed that my sleep was consider complete even though I went back to sleep for an additional 5 hours.This is not a once off. Been using nightly for just a few days under a month now and there has only been 3 nights where the result were even close to reality. Sure you can edit your data to replace those missed hours, but the defeats the point and those edits do not assist as they don't count for sleep stages.A few pro's:1. It keeps time well.Ok, that's about it for the pros.Battery life is tolerable at best. If you turn pretty much everything off, you may get through a day, but if you use the features that actually make this watch different from a "normal" watch you're lucky to get 8 hours, and that's being kind.I could easily live with the short battery life as I do not use this as a daily wearer but just to track sleep and eventually walking (had reconstructive foot surgery).If you're thinking about using it as your daily and would like to actually run the features be prepared to have it die before your day is over.I'm going to keep it anyway. Aestheticlly it is a very nice watch. There are limited downloadable faces, most of which are pretty ugly (to me at least) but a few are quite nice. Has a great feel. Heavy, but not obnoxiously so. Sleek and nice to look at. OLED is *black* when screen is off and is very good looking and with the high resolution, even text alerts sent to the face are easily readable.In summation, it's a 6 out of 10. A 3 for functionality and a 9.5 for form.I'm going to wait 3 more years or so and give the whole "smart watch" thing another try.Just wish it would know when I'm sleeping and know when I'm awake.....

Good watch
I really liked this watch but have returned it. I could not get email alerts to connect. I went back to my normal timex watch. I don’t like being told to get off my butt all the time nor do I need all the notifications. This watch is excellent for the price but I don’t need a smart watch.

Battery Life
Received the watch on Friday Apr 29th. I really like the style and fit. But I am only getting 8-10 hours battery life not 10-12 days. I fully charge the watch as suggested and you can almost watch the battery drain. I haven’t activated any App alerts or heartbeat monitoring, settings are all default. Maybe I got a dud.Got a replacement watch from Amazon and the battery appears to be good, almost 24 hrs after full charge battery only down 5% to 95%. So first watch I received was definitely faulty.
