I would prefer to give this watch 4.5 stars and I'd give it an unqualified five stars if it tracked activities like biking, as well as steps. For walking, this watch tracks my mileage, steps, and calories. You can also set personalized goals for all these benchmarks. You can adjust the sensitivity of the tracking mechanisms and make distance adjustments if you feel it isn't tracking properly, or test it on a known distance course. It can track my sleep time, measuring deep and light sleep as well. What's more it keeps the totals for that day, week, month, or year. I have changed phones with this watch, and it kept my totals. I have not changed the battery on this watch, which might be a hassle, I just don't know yet. You can set alarms and timers with the app. My favorite feature is the second hand, because, in the settings, you change this from tracking seconds to pointing out the date on one of the first 31 ticks of the second-marks. So, if it was on the 15th second, it would be the 15th day of the month. It is very handy. The watch band is comfortable, walking, working, or working out, and I will look for similar bands in the future because of this watch. In the more than six months of owning this watch, the only complaint I have is that I cannot track biking.
Does not track actively The App does not move out of set up The watch stopped on day 15 Wife bought one same time same order. she dropped hers from a 3 foot table and it stopped - not at all shock resistant- really is junk

Brand new. Piece of junk. Tracks now and then. Maybe. Like 10 percent of the time if you are lucky. I have reset, reinstalled multiple times. Aftet reset it seems to work until you sync to see how many steps. Counts no steps after that. No wait, it added 50 steps for the rest of the day.... Yeah, sending it back for a refund.

Bluetooth connectivity with my phone stopped working after 2 months. Not only can't download data, but can't align the hands and since Daylight Savings started, my watch is one hour behind.

I bought this and an Apple watch - series 2. This is sleek and gives me the information I need in a very interesting way! Very well made. Timex quality. I am a pilot and most likely going to a review of this watch against a few others before I take back the Series 2 Apple watch.
Note to Timex - I would LOVE an export option for the data that is captured for this watch! I track my fitness and currently I have to manually upload the data (meaning I type in the numbers!). If there is a way to do this now with the current functionality, please let me know.
My review is not good right now, I love the looks, I cannot figure out the paring and why the second hand is not moving. It keeps time, but it's weird the seconf hand is not moving
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hi John, thank you for your review. We're sorry you're having trouble with this. Your seconds hand is probably not moving because it is set to show the date, your distance, or your steps. This can be adjusted through the app. Please contact us at 1-800-328-2677 or custserv@timex.com, and we would be happy to walk you through the syncing process.
