Timex Fitness Tracker Pedometer Watch

Timex Fitness Tracker Pedometer Watch Tracks Speed and Distance

The Timex Fitness Tracker makes use of a hip pedometer that interacts wirelessly with a Timex sports watch. The system is developed to track strolling exercises rather than overall everyday steps, as you have to turn it on and off to see and tape the pedometer details.

Pedometer Function

The Timex Fitness Tracker makes use of a hip pedometer pod to sense walking steps. When you want to track your strolls, you turn on the switch on the pedometer and then push the on/off button on the watch. The pedometer pod must be on the exact same side of the body as the watch, as the signal has a variety of about 3 feet.

I had problem with the watch signing up just about 2/3 of the steps that other pedometers did throughout the very same exercise. I do not understand whether this was a loss of signal in between the watch and the pedometer pod or that the pedometer was simply not signing up as lots of steps.

Pedometer Display: You can cycle through step count, range, speed in miles per hour, rate in minutes per mile, activity time, calories, steps per minute, and steps staying to a step objective. The watch was preprogrammed with a 10,000 step objective, which you can set to your preferred objective.

Sports Watch Functions

The watch has great deals and the Indiglo backlight system, which I've discovered outstanding for seeing the watch during the night.

The fundamental screen reveals day of week, date, and time consisting of seconds. You can set 2 various time zones for simple watching. It has a per hour chime and an everyday alarm if you wish to make use of those functions.

Bottom Line

I would believe it would be more trusted than a watch pedometer that utilizes arm movement to sense movement, however the device I got significantly under-counted steps vs. 2 various watch pedometers. The watch pedometers matched my conventional hip pedometers within 10 % while the Timex Fitness Tracker differed by over 30 %.

The memory functions are likewise doing not have for pedometer users. You can see the formerly tracked exercise, up until you clear the watch for the next exercise. I prefer to have a 7-day memory.

This system is created for tracking individual exercises instead of for counting overall everyday steps. The watch is an outstanding sports watch.
