Review on πŸƒ Timex Metropolitan+ Smart Watch: The Perfect Activity Tracker for Fitness Enthusiasts by Cody Siger

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Unfortunately lacks quality/durability x4

I have now (4) survived this Timex Metropolitan+ watch. When it's functional, I love everything about this watch. It looks great, works correctly and accurately in terms of time and activity tracking, and gets lots of compliments. Unfortunately, the lifespan of these watches was extremely inadequate. The first watch lasted about 8 months until the battery was empty. When changing the battery, the timer knob broke and the clock stopped working. I chalked it up to my mistake when changing the battery and decided to buy a replacement, in the future also for a professional battery change. When I received the replacement, I wore it every day, all day, until the time setting knob broke about 1 month after receipt. I have no idea what caused it to break, but I assumed I hit it just right. I figured I'd get a different replacement as I really liked the watch and still felt like it was likely to be durable, but I've had no luck. The next replacement again lasted about a month before suffering the same fate as the previous watch. This time I noticed it when I woke up in the morning. The time stopped at 4:25 which meant it stopped in the middle of the night while I was in bed. I contacted Amazon and they agreed to replace it for free. Well I received my fourth Timex Metropolitan+ on Friday (May 26th) and here I am with another broken time button (May 28th). As mentioned before, I love this product for its design and purpose, but I won't be buying another one as the quality just isn't there. This is a product designed for the active user but is probably more suited to a granny at a bridge club. See photos (3/4) of the watch.

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
