Apple Watch Series 7: The best overall smartwatch for women Really, it shouldn't be this difficult, and I hope Timex finds a more elegant solution through a future update. Timex has the looks. The Move is a nicely designed hybrid, and like many of its peers it gives away very little in terms of its smarts. There's a 37mm (with 18mm swappable bands) and a 41mm version (20mm bands) available but both do exactly the same, and both are water resistant to 50 meters. I tested the Timex Metropolitan for over a month, wearing it on one wrist and my Fitbit Ionic on the other. I switched wrists halfway through to make sure the side wasn’t affecting anything. (Yes, I wore two watches 24/7, and yes, I got some funny looks.) As for more objective data for its GPS? There’s a spot on my regular running route that’s a Google Map–certified 0.50 miles from my front door. My watch tended to hit that half-mile mark around that area, though it could be off a few hundredths of a mile in either direction. And it stayed pretty accurate throughout the entire run. On my first run with it, my total distance measured 4.66 miles on the Timex Metropolitan and 4.73 miles on my Fitbit Ionic. (I’ve worn my Ionic during several races and found it to be accurate distance-wise.) For my normal weekday runs, my distance would be within a tenth of a mile on both, which is more than accurate enough for a recreational runner like myself.

When you boot-up the Timex app you get to choose whether the little extra dial displays how close you are to either reaching your distance or steps goal for the day. The seconds hand can take on the same task if you don’t need the time to the second, and it can display the date too.Comfort and fit: Smart watches with big cases (44mm and up) can look and feel clunky, especially if you have a small wrist. A 36mm or 38mm smart watch might be a better fit in this case. Right out of the box, the Timex Metropolitan was a breeze to use. It had some charge when it arrived, and I was able to set it up right away. The Timex Metropolitan paired smoothly with my not-the-newest Android phone (it also works on iOS)—I didn’t run into any snags setting it up or creating my profile, which included information like height and weight to determine things like stride length and calories burned. Through generations of watchmaking, Timex made its name synonymous with iconic watch design that could withstand anything. And we constantly keep innovating - from our rugged outdoor watches to early sports watches, collaborations and reissues, digital and smartwatches, each Timex collection is a unique expression of the company’s watchmaking mission. Our online casual watches for men are not only inspired by the 70s and 80s but also cater to latest trends and styles. Strap Material is important And that's kind of it in terms of the main features. As I said, there's no notification support at all - not even a bleep or a buzz. There are a couple of other small things you can do: you can set a single alarm via the app, and even a timer, although the latter feels more faff than it's worth considering you need to sync the watch to start it - and that's quite the palaver.

The model comes in a range of sumptuous colours, including the ethereally named Starlight, Midnight and Abyss Blue. That's about as granular as any of the metrics other than sleep go. As I mentioned previously, you can see a breakdown of your sleep through the night - made of deep sleep, light sleep, and bits you were awake - and you can edit the start and end times if it gets it wrong. But sadly you can't do anything with any of the captured data beyond peruse it in the app. Syncing with Apple Health and Google Fit would be nice. Time IQ+: Where it sits There are no more dials than required, as few characters on its face as Timex can get away with and, in this model at least, the most exciting colour is grey.
