iConnect by Timex Active 37 mm Smartwatch

Product Information

Timex makes the IQ+ Move with either a leather or silicone strap. Ours is the leather one, and as you can see it has a sort of corrugated finish across about half of its length. 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 My workouts tend to be pretty varied—I go for easy runs, interval runs, and recovery walks or hikes, and strength-train both with straight sets and heart-pumping circuits. And I’ve just started indoor cycling too.

The device comes in four sizes: 40mm and 44mm for the digital bezel, and 42mm and 46mm for the physical rotating bezel. We’d recommend going for the first option if your wrist is on the smaller end of the spectrum. This is a watch I’d happily wear every day. And I haven’t regularly worn a normal watch in more than 10 years. If you must have a bit of colour, Timex makes Move watches with green and blue hands, and there’s a busier, bulkier Metro model too.

The best smartwatches for women in 2023

Key specs – Operating system: watchOS; Screen size and type: 1.9in 484 x 396 Retina LTPO OLED; Battery life: Up to 18 hours; Replaceable strap: Yes; GPS: Yes; Heart rate: Yes; NFC: Yes For anyone looking to hybrid smartwatches, the IQ+ Move is a nice alternative to the likes of the Withings Steel HR and Misfit Phase as it manages to blend in as a conventional timepiece. Just know that it does less than most of its competitors. Jamie Kim wrote this article and has been testing consumer products for more than a decade. She has tested many tech items, including smart watches. She holds an apparel and textile design degree plus a mechanical engineering degree, making her the perfect person to lead a Good Housekeeping Institute review of smart watches, in which form and function are both incredibly important. 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.

Here at Timex, we take pride in offering a wide range of men's watches designed to suit every need and preference. From your all-around leather strap watches to adventure-ready military-inspired watches, we have every type of timepiece that’s guaranteed to be built with quality, style, and durability. Choosing the Right Watch A Man Should Wear Key specs (46mm Watch 4 Classic) – Operating system: Wear OS; Screen size and type: 1.4in 450 x 450 AMOLED; Battery life: Approx 40 hours; Replaceable strap: Yes; GPS: Yes; Heart rate: Yes; NFC: Yes Health-conscious women will be impressed by the Galaxy Watch 4’s “BioActive” sensor, which has the ability to measure your BMI, skeletal muscle mass and basal metabolic rate. 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. The watch is available now for and comes in two sizes, and a range of different colours and materials. I've been spending some time with one wrapped round my wrist - here's my verdict on the IQ+ Move. Timex IQ+: Design
