I do and I don't think that will shorten battery life and you can turn it on and off instantly and it's looks great. Mine is silver nano with a black watchband and i really love it Just buy a iWatch on Amazon you wont regret

I wouldn't buy this to use as a regular watch. There are good ironman timex watchs for less that work well. It just needs to be charged daily. It is a great running watch and can't imgine training without it. But I use my timex ironman watch for my everyday watch, half the price but not gps. Hope that helps.

Played a few times with the bluetooth connected to my iPhone. Haven't had any issues with it disconnecting during the round. Actually noticed last time I played, that it was a bit annoying. ALL notifications that appear on your iPhone (i.e. emails, texts, application notifications, etc.) appear on the watch and makes it tedious to get back to the distance screen or clear all notifications during a hole, but that may just be me. Hopefully that helps. Definitely love the watch, I wear it beyond just playing, just as an everyday watch. Considering its cost, might as well get as much use out of it.

Sounds like it is defective to me. The 1st watch we had was amazing. We bought another one for our youngest and had to return it cause it was defective :( good luck

Yeah, no idea! I bought mine and it didn't come with the watch and said it had everything to start using it.......no strap, no watch or other needed device and I have left it sit ever since......WASTE OF MONEY.

I have the black one. It is pretty easy to see for me,but being that your screen name is biker Bill I'm not sure for your scenario being in direct sun light. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful I can say it's a pretty good watch the barometer is off alittle bit but you can compensate for the error the tempt is way off until you take the watch off Good luck be safe shotot straight

Sometimes the knob doesn't fully lock back in place for the watch to run. You might want to check the knob stem and see if it in fully down in the slot for the watch to run. If it still doesn't work then perhaps ask for an exchange. My watch does well for me, however the children at the orphanage sometimes pulls the stem out without my knowledge and I find that I lost a few hours. Ha!

I phoned Timex and it's all waterproof (unless you press any buttons) but I forgot to ask them about chlorine effect. They did say the heart rate signal can't transmit to the watch while under water.When I wear it all day, I usually feel like my ribs got bruised, and I have it on it's loosest setting. I even took off the elastic, and just but the stiff part on my with sports tape (and it transmitted), but I still got that feeling. But I sit maybe 80% of the time I wear it so maybe that's a factor for the ribs pressing against something hard.

I used it through nursing school and invested in a good watch. The idea of it being around your neck is good in theory but not very practical in the field. The watch face is too small and you need both your hands for tasks and with this you have to hold it to see the face while doing your task. Get a watch that is water resistant or proof, analog, and has a comfortable strap that is flexible (leather won't hold up). A band that stretches is optimum so you can push up your arm when doing a task then keep there to scrub up when done.

Personally I would find another watch to buy. Cheap price & cheap product. The 1st one died after 3 months & the replacement didn't even get on my arm.It was defective when I received it.Still waiting for there response.

I'm here now is summer, so......But my watch seems normal, I continue to use for 12 hours, it looks all right.In some cases, it will suddenly stop detection for a few seconds, or a sudden increase or decrease heart rate data, but I think it is due to changes of my wearing loose or posture.

reset your watch with correct age. Make sure your wrist isn't sweaty when you are taking a reading. Check your manual! Mine works great and I was able to set it without asking my husband.

No, it is pretty much a generic looking watch.....but, I do not recommend it! It only works about every 5 times you touch it and I am sending back for a refund! I bought just for the Heart Rate feature and I am very dissapointed.

U need software on web that no longer exists. They need to send software with watch. I spent 8 hr. Messing with it before I sent it back. Good watch but needs software to complete all actions. Would not recommend w/o software.to answer question yes

What's the point answering this question when the product does't work. It worked out of the box but as time went on it became harder and harder to get any reading from the watch. I did everything recommended to get it to work regularly but it failed again and again. If I could return it now, I would. I would never recommend it to anyone.

No. I haven't looked at the battery yet. I was hoping that a place that sells more than one or two types of watch batteries might have them. If you know what they look like maybe you could Google it? Wish I were of more help. Let us know what you find out please?
