Ever since it was first released, we always loved all the features and the stylish design of the Apple Watch. But as much as we loved the Dick Tracy communicator features, the exercise trackers and the notifications, we never loved the price tag. That’s where the Timex Metropolitan S Smartwatch comes in. This heavyweight competitor packs all the fitness-tracking, GPS, easy-to-use menus and heart-rate monitoring features of its predecessors–along with a 24/7 activity / sleep tracking and 20+ dial designs to make sure you have all of the relevant information on your wrist whenever you need it. What’s more, the scratch-resistant, Gorilla Glass lens watch has a soft silicone rubber strap and is water resistant up to 30 meters to make sure you’re getting correct vitals–even if you’re in the drink. The Timex Metropolitan S Smart Watch is available now with either black or rose gold accents.
