Visually, I do wish it was 2mm smaller, but I kind of dig the look of it, to be honest - maybe it’s the nerdiness of a patent attorney, but I sort of dig the chunky, classic Timex aesthetic. And, to complicate things, there are watches that do more for not much more money (consider, i.e., the $299 Coros Apex or nearly-generation-old frequently-sub-$250 Garmin Forerunner 645 without music). I think this watch falls short if you're using it as your everyday watch and if you're expecting this watch to be equal to Apple watches or other 2020 smart watches. So let me try and hit the runners who are most likely to be tempted: if you’re running with a Forerunner 10, 15, 25, 35, 230, 235, a TomTom anything, a Nike anything, a Soleus anything… , most relevantly, you’re looking for something that’s mostly familiar, but with a rejuvenated battery and an easy Strava sync, then the R300 is perfect. I believe most of the issues I've experienced could be fixed with software and firmware updates, but I'm not going to wait around hoping for things that might never materialize so I've decided to return the watch for a refund.Touchscreen doesn't work; Timex app is clumsy; data is encrypted to only the Timex app Yes, I wish it had Stryd compatibility or was a little smaller, but even being "really competitive" is an achievement at this price point, and should be celebrated. Gone is chunkiness and total lack of smart features but what still remains is the TOTAL INABILITY to be at all suitable for an Ironman race. Your browser's Javascript functionality is turned off.
I don't think this will happen to everyone. **Features** * Always on display * 4 Physical buttons (Note: only one can be configured for long-press app launch) * Responsive touchscreen (Must click a button to activate, so no accidental input) Despite its frame, the very light and short strap lugs help it sit nicely on the wrist, and I had no trouble getting consistent heart rate readings, even at a couple different band hole intervals.

TIMEX IRONMAN R300 GPS Watch is rated 3.6 out of 5 by 106.
Of course, the R300 even a touchscreen, which Timex thankfully lets you disable during workouts - and, to Timex’s credit, requires a first-pass button engagement to activate, to help mitigate accidental presses (why Polar couldn’t get this right on the Vantage V, I don’t know!). We just released version 1.7.0 for iOS and 1.6.0 for Android of the Timex Smart app.
« Suréquipée, mais pas surévaluée », annonce à la marque à propos de sa nouvelle smartwatch.Celle-ci présente en effet des caractéristiques très complètes sur cette gamme de prix. I don’t know that trend will continue the entire life of the product (or even of this battery cycle), but it’s not so far off of Timex’s suggestion of a 2-hour charge for a 25-day battery life (without GPS). What we are seeing with the Timex Ironman R300 is a re-imagined 2020 *SMART* version of what came before. During an activity, the R300 constantly records.
