Could not get the watch to sync at all. My husband got frustrated and put it in the drawer for about a year. I wanted it back because its so pretty and wanted to use it. Still wouldn't sync and we were about to throw it away, when I decided to try using the chat feature on timex web site since it was a gift from him and I really want to be able to use it. I have been chatting for over an hour with a technician and no luck on his end. He seems to be really trying Now the minutes are ticking backward!!! He is still trying to help me, but its been over an hour and still no luck.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for your review. A member of our Customer Service Team has reached out to you for further assistance.
I was excited to receive a Timex watch since they were always the best! Now I’m just sad that I cannot even sync it to the app. Tried for hours but would not sync. Seems to be a widespread issue. I need a solution please!!
This is very beautiful watch with a great ideas wasted in mediocre product.
Tracking fictionally is good enough. App is not that great - I need to kill it to re-sync, auto sync does not work at all.
Almost all good, until I needed my battery changed. This is where the nightmare starts. First I tried to do it myself - it's not the first watch I own, should be simple, right? WRONG! The snap-off case was shut solid, I did some minor damage to outer case trying to pry it open. Ok, the manual suggests to take it to a professional ("skilled" they say, did not know why at this point). Local professional, with circa 25 years of experience in fixing watches... also had hard time opening it and left additional marks on the case. Done, shut with the watch press, all good, right? WRONG. After a few days the case snapped back open on my wrist... And again and again... The last one was when I was taking shower, so it got foggy and stopped synchronizing. Trying to get it dried right now, we'll see how it goes. Just to mention, I always pick my watches water resistant as I've got really bad eyesight, so I need to keep my watch on at all times.
Also the strap likes to fall off with not that hard accidental pull.
Never had so many problems with a watch...
All too bad, because if it all was good, it would be almost ideal watch...

Then the watch phone with begin to sync with the watch, to re-sync the same procedure should apply.

This is a piece of junk. Worked for a while, now the battery has been changed and nothing works. Before battery change it was 2 minutes late; realligning hands does not work as instructions in the app are for a different watch. Ridiculous. I thought Tomex was a reputable company. NO more

I have an iphone 6s and a timex iq + move but they do not connect. can you update the app? Many users have the same problem so do not write that we will be contacted by customer service but update the app!!!!!!!!!!
The watch hands have to be reset twice a day and the app says that it will email logs to TIMEX and they are rejected. The steps are not accurate. I have been very disappointed in the watch and support.

Hi, thank you for this review! We apologize that you are having issue with your watch. We would like to help you on this matter. Our Customer Service rep will send you an email to directly assist you on this matter.
I have an IQ plus watch. Initially I got it to sync only with difficulty. However it was sinking for a while. Now the watch will connect but then fails to sync. Tells me to reboot my watch. Reboot the watch no joy. Reinstall the app. No joy. Does not keep accurate time if not syncd. My wife's is doing the same thing. Very dissatisfied. Seems like no updates.
