Timex was founded in 1854 as Waterbury Clock Company, and the American manufacturing company is considered as one of the pioneers in the watch making industry. In the recent times, Timex has started adding activity trackers to its portfolio, and products like the Timex Blink fitness band and the new Helix Gusto range have made their way to the market.
Timex iConnect Premium Active is a new smartwatch from the legacy brand Timex, and it offers premium looks along with a colour touchscreen. It can track your activity, sleep quality, and heart rate, and gives you reminders to drink water and get up from your seat. The Timex iConnect Premium Active smartwatch also offers notifications from email and messaging apps that you use on your phone. It alerts you to calls and lets you calm down with breathing exercises.
The Timex Helix Gusto HRM is a new entrant in the competitive wearables space. This fitness band, with its features and price, competes directly with the Mi Band 4 and the Honor Band 5. It has all the features expected of fitness bands today – step counting, distance tracking, sleep tracking, heart rate monitoring, and several sports modes for better calorie burn calculations. The price of this wearable is Rs. 2,295 in India, and there are vibrant options for the band colour – Blue, Grey, Purple, and Turquoise Blue. There's also a variant that lacks heart rate monitoring, priced at Rs. 1,495.
