Review on πŸ’³ TIMEX Pay Women's Ironman Watch with Contactless Payment Feature by Kurt Virden

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Innovative and simply cool!

A big fan of Timex for years, especially the tough and durable Ironman watches. As a runner and active guy, I've always appreciated that for a fairly affordable price you get a well-made product with lots of features that are easy to use. When I saw that they were launching a collection of non-smartwatches with contactless payment, I had to see for myself. I bought an Ironman 30 lap with Timex Pay. From the factory it's the same classic Ironman style you'd expect, but with an updated silicone strap that integrates contactless payment technology. The installation process is fairly simple, following a quick guide that prompts you to download and install the Timex Pay app from the App Store (I'm using iOS, but I'm pretty sure Android is the same process). The app has its own built-in guide to help you use the included clip to basically "transfer" your credit card to the tape (for those Star Trek rememberers). I got up in less than 5 minutes and made my first coffee purchase simply by holding my watch against a terminal at a local coffee shop. Great convenience when maybe I don't have a wallet or phone handy.

Pros
  • Watch
