Important information about your watch

Water Resistance

Your TIMEX® Metropolitan R is rated for 30m water resistance. This means that it is safe to exercise
and shower with your watch and that it may be submerged in water. Swimming with your watch is not
recommended.

Wearing

Your watch has a built in optical Heart rate sensor (the 2 LED lights on the case back). Wearing the watch
too loosely may impact the data collection by the heart rate sensor.
Comfortably, but snugly, tighten the watch around your wrist, at least one finger width above your wrist bone.
Note: When wearing the watch during workouts, which involve a great deal of wrist motion (such as
weightlifting), wearing the watch as far above the wrist as possible will provide the most accurate heart rate
measurement.

GPS

Your watch also has a GPS which requires periodic software updates (A-GPS) to perform optimally. Note
that for proper recording of outdoor workouts you must wait for the GPS to obtain your initial
location (the GO button will change from grey to orange on the start workout display) before
starting your workout. Note as well that the GPS antenna in this watch has been optimized for
performance on the left wrist, so the watch will provide best GPS accuracy when worn on the left wrist.
The watch can be worn on either wrist for all other activities.

Activity and Sleep Tracking

Your watch also has a built-in accelerometer used to track activity (steps and distance). The accelerometer
is used for computing distance for non-GPS running and walking workouts and may be calibrated using
"Treadmill" workout mode for best accuracy.
Your watch uses a combination of the accelerometer and the heart rate sensor for tracking your sleep.
Note that the sleep algorithm will only track sleep events, which occur overnight. It will not track naps or
daytime sleep events.
Your watch also has a barometer (pressure sensor) for measuring changes in elevation during outdoor
workouts.
