If you don’t press a button within 10 seconds, it’ll reset all the way back to the watch face screen.







Yes, the same But, we’re probably getting ahead of ourselves a wee bit.





Required fields are marked.Where I struggle to recommend watches like this to friends: platform concerns. Garmin, to me, loads a lot of their watches with a bunch of features that I’ll never use..so why would I pay more for those? The crisp sunlight-readable display, simple user interface and robust mobile connectivity come together for a made-for-sports smartwatch that will have no trouble keeping up with you.



And like virtually every past product (To start a sport you’ll press that middle button, which then allows you to select ‘Workouts’.

This first bump you see is more of a kick up in pace than a true interval.

Well, let’s put that one to bed straight away…Probably not! And of course, that depends on Huami and their Amazfit platform to pull off.

Timex says it should work (I reconfirmed this with them), but I can’t make it do it.Oh bummer.

The name escapes me and I’m sure the company is long defunct.Ray, have you ever considered writing an article with the history of running watches?

It’s not the size of your hill, but how you use it.

The watch has an optical heart rate monitor, onboard GPS, and, most importantly for die-hard weekend warriors, an estimated 25 days of battery life (20 hours of GPS mode).

Where is it available? Everything appears as an indoor workout.To which you say: Ok, fine, but you said something about a ‘Triathlon’ mode?So, let’s do that mode!



Unfortunately, this item is not in stock.





:-/And of course, turning on airplane mode on either device defeats said purpose.Good that I can tag my behavior and send it to China – perhaps that explains the price point too?

For example, I don’t place two units next to each other on my wrists, as that can impact signal. When it sends the file to Strava, it simply sets the workout type as “Other Workout” and gives it a total indoor distance. And initially, as I was leaving the city, it was mostly fine by everyone, save an itty-bitty-bit of offset coming from the Timex R300, where you can see it just slightly cutting across the docks in that squiggle section (technically, they’re house-boats, but hey…).The rest of the trail there was fine.



This has two main aspects. Those last 10% last forever).However, before we talk about that – let’s get this thing unboxed.I appreciate simplistic packaging, and the R300 delivers in that sense. This nostalgic editorial looks back at an event that many of us probably remember as well — a kid’s first watch. Everything else is superflous.Hi Ray, did you manage to get the broadcast heartrate fearure to connect to zwift on ios?There’s a Broadcast Heartrate feature on the R300.








As such, practically that’s not super useful since most of us aren’t always out of range of our phone while also nearby a device that needs that BT signal (like…our phone).
Well, actually, Amazfit (which Huami owns).

Below are the most popular.You probably stumbled upon here looking for a review of a sports gadget.



And in some ways, that’s probably the more important takeaway. You’ll see the data pages as configured here, and you can iterate through them by pressing the up/down buttons.



Sure gives a knock at the door to those who deliver less but charge more in this specific category.

Nearly a year after we first reintroduced the Q Timex collection with our Q Timex 1979 Reissue, we present the Timex M79 Automatic.





Please add me to Timex's email list. Whatever magic they have inside that watch to get them that battery life is clearly working, so I can’t complain there.Ultimately, if you’re looking for a budget GPS sports watch and the Timex look appeals to you – then this is certainly an option to consider with only a handful of minor downsides.Note that Timex sent over a media loaner for me to try out, like always this review isn’t sponsored in any way.



The strap can be detached to swap out for your own, The default watch face shows you the current time/day/date, as well as your current heart rate and steps for the day.

I was wondering if I missed anything.So, this is one of those borderline impossible features to use because it can only sustain a single concurrent Bluetooth Connection.







They’ve got a few categories, namely running, HIIT, and the peculiarly named ‘Triathlon’.You can edit the workouts, or even create your own with a handful of metrics.Once you’ve tapped them they’ll sync to the watch, where you’ll find them within the ‘Coached’ section of workouts:However, this is where things get a bit weird. Companies like TomTom (and even Garmin on sale) have proven that. Please turn it on so that you can experience the full capabilities of this site.We are just checking to see if you wanted to visit your local country



And, in doing so I found that it correctly identified the ground I covered distance-wise at the right speed (despite the watch being kept still).So, this tells me GPS is definitely being leveraged behind the scenes for these.

You have two options. I don’t know why. The metrics here are pretty much the norm for activity trackers, but it does also give some minor suggestions here and there – which is more than many wearable apps actually do. I ordered it hoping that it would be a streamlined Timex Ironman watch without the extra fluff of many other smart watches. You can hit the up/down buttons to iterate through the data fields.

They languish in terms of design and styling.

Here’s Honestly, that’s boring.



The newest Timex Ironman smartwatch, the R300 GPS, bundles the workout essentials -- on-wrist heart rate monitoring, guided coaching, a range of performance metrics and water resistance up to …



This will look at how well it can maintain the same exact loop over and over again (all, on trails). Because, now to think of it – it never asked/told me it was finding GPS.
