Timex Metropolitan+,, an analog watch plus fitness tracker launched

 

Timex launched the Metropolitan+, an analog watch with fitness tracking capabilities, priced at Rs 9995. Timex Metropolitan+, aimed at men, will initially be available only on Amazon India.

The Metropolitan+ has a regular analog display, offers a one-and-a-half year battery life. On the smart bit, the watch also reflects what percentage of an activity goal has been fulfilled by a user. The goal can either be in distance or steps taken daily, and it also calculates calories burnt.

Timex says the watch is waterproof, and users can go swimming with it. The watch also has an Indiglo Night Light, and Timex has created its own app which reflects the fitness data collected by the watch. The watch can measure a maximum of 15,000 steps in one go.

The Metropolitan+ will debut in two styles; a silver-tone case with a black dial with red accents and a textured leather strap and a black case version with a black dial and orange accents. The watch will come with interchangeable black silicone and orange nylon straps.

Timex says that their watch takes away the battery pain point that exists with a lot of smartwatches or fitness trackers, given that Metropolitan+ does not require regular charging.
