Timex Smart Hack 1.19.0 + Redeem Codes

Using a Timex Metropolitan R with iPhone 12 Pro ver15.2.1 not all notifications show up on the watch. The email notification seems to be hit or miss as to whether it is received on the watch even with it turned on in settings. So far other notifications appear okay.
Some watch faces have too small of icons to really see well, and some just too much making them confusing and difficult to quickly read. With that said there are several simple faces to choose from along with plenty varieties of others.
The app is straight forward and easy to read/understand. Not sure if the app should be left open so that it refreshes in the background or should be closed. Seems like if left open will cause it to sync data every so often, but that may cause battery to drain faster? Not sure which is better. Also not sure if that is why not receiving email notifications.
Paired with my iPhone with no issues and easily. Recommend setting time when watch does not turn on face when lifting arm, especially at night while sleeping. Helps on battery life.
Over all app/watch/phone works well together.

As the other reviewers have mentioned, the app is solid and provides all the metrics you care about in one place. There are some “smart” devices that leverage other 3rd party apps in order to provide users with the info they need (e.g., sleep data and Apple Watch).

I gave 4 stars as I wear the new Ironman GPS R300, and I think the watchface library can use a bit more of a selection. Some analog faces with both step count and heart rate would be nice. Also, since the watch can display font size small enough to fit a ton of data as well as the time and date, digital watch faces can use some useful enhancements as well. Other than that, no complaints from me.

So far I’m liking the watch and the feature I’m surprised to find I’m enjoying the most is the sleep tracking it would be nice to see a little more information and maybe a little easier it allows you to set goals for everything else the watch tracks too except sleep that seems like an an easy addition but maybe others don’t desire at many sleep oriented functions? Love the brand Timex and I’m looking forward to seeing what improvements they make!

The timex smart app and Ironman R300 complement each other very well, and I have had a pleasant experience with the app over the past couple months.

Using the app to set up and configure my watch was simple and quick, and I was ready to go in minutes. Reviewing data from running/biking (route, pace, cadence, HR) is straightforward. Workouts upload to the app and to Strava shortly after finishing workouts.

Overall, the app fulfills my daily jogging needs perfectly, and look forward to using it more!

Just wanted to give some positivity! After the last update, which pinpointed and corrected battery life issues, I have 56% left after roughly 20+ days of continuous wear and use including GPS runs. You guys are amazing and have created the perfect running timepiece. All the battery life I expect from a wearable and all the features I need with none of the bloat. I greatly appreciate the watch and the app as they both work seamlessly. Thanks all!

I used to be able to connect my watch to my phone and track my sleep and workouts. Some time about two months ago, the GPS started failing to work on the watch, the watch stopped connecting to my phone, and all my data in the app disappeared. I’m sitting here trying to set up my account on the app again and every time I try to connect the device, I get an error message saying “Contact customer service” but with no info on how to do that. So I’m here instead. Maybe I’ll get lucky and someone from this mythical customer service will see this review.

Dear customer service: Why did I spend money on a smart watch whose smart features do absolutely nothing?

I’m so bored with what I have to choose from as for as different watch faces. I’ve tried all the ones I liked over and over again. Please give us more watch faces and more themes. The holiday ones, you got that covered. But more Expeditions faces, more digital numbered faces, just more choices period. Other lower priced watches have over 80 watch faces, what‘s your problem?
That’s the only reason I don’t recommend this Timex to my friends.

Thanks -Henry

I’ve used Apple Watch, Garmin, Casio…and now this, looking for the perfect GPS. Battery life, ease of use, mobile app…this one is as close to perfect as I’ve found. The only drawback, if you’re looking for something to track your indoor swimming, this isn’t it. Nice work Timex.

I think the app has potential but it’s not very consistent with syncing. I’m currently having an issue getting my workouts to sync after removing/readding the app and restarting the watch. The app gets stuck at a 100% sync but isn’t syncing my workouts. I’ve tried unpairing, signing in and out and still no luck.

That being said the app. is worth it and good enough to the point that I’m still tinkering with it to try to get it to work...I just really want to review my HR zones from my last swim session...

I love the watch but it’s basically useless if it will not sync. I contacted customer support and was told it was an issue with DST and to delete and reinstall the app. I did that. Still, will not sync. It will not even pair with my iPhone. The solution evidently is to take a photo of my phone and email the photo to customer support so the issue can be escalated to an engineer. It shouldn’t be that difficult to pair and sync a watch. The only positive thing I can say now is at least I returned a second one I had purchased and planned to give as a present.
