Like other fitness bands and smartwatches, you would have to keep the band connected to the smartphone or the tablet at all times if you want to sync the band anytime with the app. The Timex Connect app is available on both App Store and Google Play and can be setup via Bluetooth. You can also get a rough idea of how far are you from the required target by looking at the sub-dial but that’s a rough estimate. Unfortunately, it is the only way how you can check your performance and if you have achieved the required goals or not. Downloading the Timex Connect app and setting it up is a cakewalk. There’s a companion app too where the cumulative results gathered by the fitness band are shown. Performance The performance of the Timex IQ+ Move completely relies on its sensors and their accuracy. And don’t expect any smart features in it as well. There is no fancy groove design or a rotational circular screen bezels on the case.
The overall aesthetics stay simple and minimal. Although Timex has given its best shot in making the IQ+ Move look like a classic analogue watch, it is understandably thicker than usual at 13mm due to its massive battery and a bunch of sensors stuffed inside. So you don’t need to think twice before going for a swim. It can work even at 50 metres underwater. It goes without saying that the Timex IQ+ Move is sweat and water resistant. However, it is the best for a sportsperson or someone who works out on a daily basis. What could also bother most wearers is the silicon band’s ability to attract dust and lint. We would’ve appreciated it if the watch came with a detachable band.

However, those who are used to metal and leather bands could find it annoying at times as the silicone material makes the skin difficult to breathe. For those who are used to wearing watches with rubber or silicone bands might not find much difference while using it.
