Dang! I wish I knew about this before I bought my Garmin instinct. This is way cheaper and nicer looking. The only functions I track are my steps, heart rate. And the functions on the Garmin aren't that easy to access so I don't use much anything else on it.
Two questions I haven't been able to track down an answer to: 1) text message notifications - will it allow canned replies like yes/no/call you back? And 2) do you think the GPS in any sport mode could be used for like automotive circuit racing, able to identify a lap on track by crossing the start line after the first lap?
Great questions. No, the watch does not have the ability to reply to texts. I did test out the watch with GPS on while driving and it did work. I utilized the biking mode for this.
I will probably wait for a new version. I like the idea of timex ironman as a GPS watch, but the bezels around the screen are so big. Kind of looks cheap to me. The screen should be larger to fill the watch body.
Hey, great question! This can be changed in the Timex app. Go to your profile, press the pencil in the top right corner to edit the profile, and select “units of measurement” from imperial to metric! Hope that helps!
Hey, it does not have a dedicated swim mode. GPS should work though and if you use a third party app, like Strava, to export your rides, super easy to recategorize properly. It is water resistant.

O meu deu problema em 3 meses ....a bateria não segura carga ....não sei se eh o CI ou a bateria .....gostei bastante dele
Great watch, cannot find the app for my phone.
The app is titled ‘Timex smart.’

Totally get it! They have a partnership with Huami so it’ll be nice to see what they bring next!
Does it have a good heart rate monitor to check your heart rate
It does! On par with most others Amazfit watches
Does it have swimming mode or at least water resistance? I thought ironman means triathlon which means swimming too
Hey, yes it is water resistant.
Does it track treadmill runs accurately?
Great question! I think the pedometer tracks fairly accurately, so without having used it on a treadmill, I’d say yes!
How do I change my watch from miles to kilometers when I am running.

@@DownhillDadMTB Thanks Downhill Daddy
How do I mute it so it just vibrates when I get notifications
There is a setting on the watch
Hey man, can I use the watch to track my activity without bringing the phone and sync later?
Hey, yes you can! GPS is built into the watch and you do not need your phone with you. It will 100% sync when you get back to your phone.
@@DownhillDadMTB Thanks alot for the info! will buy one!
Is there a calorie app that syncs with this watch?
Hey, I don’t believe there is
What app do i download
It’s the Timex Smart app
Descobriu qual.eh ???Também quero saber kkkk

Does it works for open water swim? Thanks

The screen looks like crap.
Definitely not pretty, but it does last like 15 days
How do I mute so it just vibrates when I receive messages
Hey, I’ve been unable to locate a setting on the watch or in the app that allows you to disable the watch’s beep.
