Timex Metropolitan+ Fashion Watch Tracks Wearer’s Activities

The Metropolitan+ melds user activity tracking with a traditional analog watch face through an app that is compatible with Android or iOS smartphones.

The Metropolitan+ is offered in two styles, both of which will be available starting in October. The Timex Metropolitan+ in silver is priced at $125 and includes a black dial with red accents, a black perforated leather strap and quick-release spring bars for easy band changing.

The Timex Metropolitan+ in black is priced at $150 and includes two interchangeable straps, in black silicone and neon orange nylon. The watch has a black dial with orange accents and quick- release spring bars.

For wearers who want a more striking fashion statement, the included neon orange strap can be attached to the black-faced Metropolitan+ watch, giving it more visual pop on a wearer’s wrist.

The Metropolitan+ has style and a sleek design, whichever color a buyer chooses. Both watch models also feature Timex’s signature Indiglo night lighting feature, which lets users easily read the watch face even in the dark.

The rear of the Timex Metropolitan+ features a traditional metal cap over its internal components. The watch is used with a phone app that is compatible with iOS or Android smartphones.

Here is the orange neon band that ships with the black-faced Metropolitan+ watch. Other colors and styles of bands for the watch are also available at Timex.com.

Timex also makes smartwatches, including the IronMan One GPS Plus, which debuted in the fall of 2014. This digital smartwatch includes an activity tracker, GPS, a heart rate monitor and direct wireless connectivity using AT&T’s mobile network. The smartwatch, which now is sale-priced at $219.95, includes email-based messaging, plus the ability to track speed, distance and pace in real time. It’s also water-resistant and has a built-in MP3 player equipped with 4GB of memory to play music via a Bluetooth headset.
