iConnect By Timex Active Smartwatch with Heart Rate, Notifications and Activity Tracking

I wanted to like this. I wanted my nostalgia for Timex to remain and I'm sure Timex is still great but this watch is not. Even at 50 dollars it's just not very good. It doesn't have a touch screen which makes it cumbersome to use. I can get past that but it's the first in a series of issues. There are only a few watch faces but that's ok as one will surely suit most. The app works decently well. It uses a giant persistent notification which seems outdated and most certainly could be removed but it does show info at a quick glance. This watch does at least have the correct date which the non-Active version can't even boast. Any of those factors alone would be acceptable but when you add it all up it just feels like a rip off. I've gotten better watches off wish. I suspect that this isn't a Timex at all as they still make quality watches, even fitness watches without phone integration. This seems like a bad licensing deal that hopefully Timex will let expire when they are ready to build their own watch-os.

Absolutely love this watch so far! Super simple set up, had to update it cause the notifications and calls weren’t coming through but can easily do that through the app. Can’t go wrong for $50! I have an IPhone and didn’t want to dish out hundreds of dollars for and Apple Watch. You can set reminders to drink water which is great, haven’t figured out the scheduling portion of it but could be useful for someone that needs reminders for meds, to move, etc.

I purchased two of these fitness trackers for my husband and I and we were super excited to get them! He already tracks our walks and runs on his IPhone through RunKeeper, but since I don’t have a phone and our gym is closed due to Covid-19, I wanted something to track my calories and mileage.I guess we should have spent the extra cash on an actual Fitbit and not whatever after market thing this is. The look of it is really nice, hence the two stars. But after taking them out for a jog/walk, they did not accurately read steps or miles. We used these watches simultaneously with RunKeeper and Apple Health, the Timex IConnect Actives we’re off by about 2.5 miles and almost 200 calories.The lack of a touch screen is annoying, but the lack of instructions is even worse. The small fold out it came with is laughable.I tried recording my sleep two nights ago and it picked it up fine, so I wore it again last night. This morning when I went to connect it up to the app...nothing. It failed to track my sleep. I wore it the same way I wore the way he the previous night.And oh, the app. FYI, there’s two for the IConnect, and the first one is old and doesn’t work. Timex just hasn’t removed it from App stores. The app that’s supposed to work with these watches is the IConnect 2, but they don’t tell you that any where.There’s no support line for these and when you try to leave feedback through the app, the app crashes. On a new IOS!The watch drops connection from the app frequently, and sometimes to the point where you have to enter in all your initial info in again, which is incredibly annoying.But the whole point of this watch is to be an activity tracker. The app has more activities on it than the watch, so they essentially want you to use the app on your phone instead of the watch?The heart monitor only tracks your BPMs every 30 minutes and seems to be initially inaccurate.The misreading of miles and calories is unforgivable. That’s the whole point of this watch! I don’t care about receiving notifications, (which come through looking fresh outta 2002 Nokia style), I want to track my workouts and jogs.By the way, don’t put weights on your “Sports” part of the menu if you don’t offer tracking weight lifting. Just..why??Pretty disappointed in this product. Would like to return it but the packaging was accidentally thrown out. Don’t be us and save up for a quality product.

The only reason I am giving this watch 4 stars is because it doesn’t stay charged for very long. I have to recharge about every other day. Every thing else I really like. It works great.

There are no instructions in the package or online. Looks pretty though! But total waste of money.

display is not bright enough but other features are nice

I thought about returning the watch but I threw out all the packaging too quickly. The watch itself has a few bugs.The face/screen changes on its own without my swiping the screen. And the phone app sucks. The watch records your heart rate every 30 minutes and you can track your rate on the app. However, my watch seems to record my heart rate even when I'm not wearing the watch. You can also monitor your sleep on the app by wearing the watch to bed, which I really don't do. But to test it I wore it to bed 3 times and had my normal night's sleep. But the Sleep Monitor for those nights has shown that I slept anywhere from 4 to 8 hours. And I've yet to figure out how it keeps track of my steps. The count is so far off from my pocket pedometer (that uses my normal walking stride as 1 step) that I just shake my head in disbelief.By far the worst Timex I've ever owned.

two of the features weren't working and Timex hasn't prepared a manual yet for this watch and couldn't answer any of my questions.

I bought it to avoid chinese brands although I am very disappointed. The main key Cons are listed below1. Battery lifeVery Poor - Only lasts 1 day or max 1.5 days2. DialsOnly 3 dials are available from which only 2 are good3. TouchIt's not a screen touch watch. It uses a single touch button to operate all functions4. MessagesU cannot differentiate whether the message notification is from whatsapp or Facebook or chat messageI would suggest go for Go Noise or Noise available in same price.

Bad battery backup don't buy this item bad quality waste of money 👎🏻👎🏻 very bad ☹☹

I'm new to a lot of the smart tech, so if I could rate it, overall performance 3 out of 5. looks 4 out of 5.Things I don't like: that it doesn't stay on, not always easy to turn on when your hands are full.That I can't swipe in both directions, have to go through every screen just to get back to time screen.Things I like: tracks my steps, tracks my sleep and calories used.All and all I don't think i would buy another smart watch, basicly all I want is a watch and this one doesn't do it for me.

HIGHLY HIGHLY DISSATISFIEDSHAME ON AMAZON1. The Seal of box was open2. The watch is completely scratched3. When I first time touched the watch it got on , I didn't pressed the on button because some one has alredy booted it4. When it got on ,althought I never got it on because someone already did it , it showed me 6235 steps5 A PROMISE TO NEVER ORDER ANY ELECTRONIC FROM SO CALLED AMAZON
