Anyone wear this as a watch??????????????????????? Hi, I am considering wearing mine as a daily watch if I get one. I am just wondering if anyone here wears theirs as a watch and how does it perform? Does it stay in watch mode? Can you turn off the screen and then turn it back on to instantly have the time available? Can it does this task reliably, and does battery life play a factor? Any comments, suggestions, and opinions welcome, and thanks in advance. Anyone wear this as a watch??????????????????????? Hi, I am considering wearing mine as a daily watch if I get one.

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 itJust buy a iWatch on Amazon you wont regret

I never could understand the camera on the watch, adding another camera which would take poorer pics than the cell phone? Minor inconvenience at worst. The NEO has NO camera. The Gear DOES have a camera. REALLY COOL FEATURE COMPARED TO OTHER WATCHES IS THE NEO HAVING A SPEAKER; ALLOWING CALLS TO BE MADE AND RECEIVED FROM YOUR WATCH. Shades of Dick Tracy! Would much rather be 'talking' to my watch than walk around with a speaker hung on my ear. davzway

Battery is pretty good on this. It can last all day on a single battery. And it's easy to swap it out if u must change. Now when using WiFi battery can go a Lil faster. Other then that a good watch I recommend

If you have had it less than a year, send it back to them and ask for a replacement. If they return it 'fixed', tell Timex it still is not working, because they probably didn't fix it. I sent my watch back in for repairs and it came back in worse shape then when I sent it, so they replaced it, no questions asked....I would buy another watch from these guys.

I found all this quite reassuring . The display stays on and the logo in the bottom right hand corner continually flashes because i haven't downloaded the data. I'm still pleased with mine, but I would have thought todays technology would be able to provide a 'stand by' mode . 1st battery relaced after 3 months - because i thought the flashing logo was a low battery indicator ! - perhaps i'll update you in a few months !

The watch did not include a replacement battery. I happen to have the manual sitting on my desk and it reads:"Battery replacement will be required from time to time, and should occur whe:-The display fades in part or completely- The Heart Rate function will not activateThe battery life will vary depending on usage of the light and hear rate features(which have high power consumption.We recommend the battery replacement be done by a watch repair service to ensure the water seals are not compromised during the process.The watch uses one(1) standard lithium replacement battery: CR2032."

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.

Not sure how long you've had it or how old it is but have you tried changing the battery? There's a small battery door with a lil screw on the back and looks like it takes a button/watch size battery. I would give that a try.

Never had that situation with mine. Use it 4 to 5 days a week. Take it off my belt at home don't reset it until morning and always has the previous numbers showing. If I am sitting for half hour at lunch break it is still on. Had min almost a year, no problems very pleased.

Your watch may need a new battery or it is dying. My first watch acted similarly. I just bought another one just like it because I like the heart monitor feature.

I read the Customer Comments first before purchasing and I gambled on it. After getting the watch I also read very carefully of the instruction and I tried not to set ALL immediately and I only set the Time Zone first. Since it is radio controlled so I let the radio to set the time for me. I think it was about an hour or two later the watch set the hands automatically. On the day to Fall Back I did not turn the hands either, instead, I waited until almost 3 a.m. Sunday the radio automatically set the proper time and I did not have to do anything. I really don't remember everything I did, but the "rule" I followed was not to touch on ALL these buttons. Most of us are rather impatient and we want to know it all immediately. When I realized that the Alarm was set at 3 a.m. by the factory I did not rush to change it until I had time to read the instruction and I did just that little. I'm just guessing: If you, Anita, live on the West Coast, why not set your Time Zone to, say, East Coast Time Zone for one day and watch the hands readjust to the East Coast TZ, then a day later change to the Pacific Time Zone and let the radio to adjust the time but don't expect to see the change promptly. Good luck, we have to help each other in this Internet Era Economy. baoedong@yahoo.com

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.

My watch does pause if I remain in one spot after about 15 seconds but it isn't always reliable. I am not sure why other people are reporting theirs do not pause. You can pause it manually fairly easily.

I haven't had any issues with mine. Just have to wet the contacts. It did take a try or two for me to figure out how to sync it for my watch to read but no issues after that. Sorry I can't be more helpful.
