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 recently ran an 8hr 30m ultra marathon and I used the watch for about 3 months prior to this race. The battery lasted about 6 hours (I turned off all the alarms, auto pacer, I only had to look at my watch from time to time to keep the right pace). It will display a message saying "battery Low" and an option to dismiss this. If you dismiss and the battery gets too low it will stop recording and discard the data collected up until then. So, it´s better to not dismiss the low battery message and stop the gps logging right there and save your data. Hope this clears up you question

I never tried. Sorry but this watch is terrible. It fogs up when I run. Water gets in in shower. Battery average life is 5 days. I buy batteries on amazon every month for three months. I don't know why I keep watch but it does sync with phone well. Tried to return and amazon rejected request based on battery life not a good enough excuse. Echo website says 6month heavy battery usage but my average id 5 days. Easy to change battery without tools but getting tired. Thanks. Wait for another option. Good day. Mc

I found I needed to sync it. The watch resets at midnight. If there is a different way to program it I couldn't find one. I do shift work so I wanted a different reset time but couldn't change it. I hope this helps.

I like mine but it is big on my wrist, no one else I know has one, for the money its worth it for a Hunger Games collector item, Good Luck :)

So I'm having lunch with a retired Delta SF and he's wearing this watch... I thought it looked cool so I bought one. I've had it a year and worn it 3 times... It's too bulky and I don't like it. Sorry this doesn't answer your question.

I wouldn't wear this to work, it's not designed to be a casual watch and it isn't the right size or design for sure. The watch will turn off after a certain amount of time out of the water (20 minutes if I recall correctly).The Suunto D4i and D6i would be better for casual wear.

1. How long does the battery (in the watch) last 3-5 years2. Lap memory is there until you override it with new information.3. Does it tell you too slow/fast? No, it does not pace you.

Technically you could use it as a watch, but I don't recommend it as a primary time keeper (for everyday use). The battery won't stay charged forever. You'll need to take it off and charge it every few days. My wife used it a couple of times in a pinch where she couldn't immediately find her regular watch, and not having something on her wrist was driving her nuts, so she wore her Garmin. She needed to charge it, but she eventually found her normal watch.

Are you experiencing that with your watch? If yes you should send it back to be replaced. The battery will last several days on one charge. Mine typically lasts 5 days.

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

Hi! That is correct. Here is a link to a YouTube vid on the watch. Watch "null" on YouTubehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8FZFzTOHIA

The first time I used the golf watch it stopped working during 9 hole play. I didn't know if it was the watch or user error, so I charged the watch over night. The next day I headed out to play 18 holes. The watch performed beautifully. The watch was still working even after dinner. I will tell you that I do not turn the watch on until I am ready to start the round of golf. I am very pleased with my purchase. Hope this helps.

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.

In the time I have had the gear, it keeps my office schedule up to date on the watch usually the Google calendar.The Apps for weather and for Evernote are extremely useful. The watch costs so little without the camera that it is worthtrying it for 2 weeks and then AT&T; will refund you if you do not like it. I guarantee you will not want to give it back if you keepa lot of appointments and the watch gives you an alarm before each. Being able to answer the phone itself is a great show off item.Useful if not for the schedule, it is useful for the time--it is an accurate watch with battery life now almost 2 days.

i purchased mine this year and no problems with the battery so far, just after every round you play it has to be recharged , now if your just wearing the watch as an every day watch then the battery what i read will last up to 8 moths without a charge but i'm sure there's a 800# you can call if you feel the battery is bad

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.
