BYTIMOTHY TORRES

The Timex Weekender has been my go-to watch for years. It's inexpensive, classic, and reliable—you don't have to charge it, and you can wear it in the shower. Even after testing plenty of fitness trackers and smartwatches, the Weekender remains my default accessory. The Timex Metropolitan+ might change that. It has the same classic look as the Weekender, along with the added benefit of some fitness tracking capabilities. It looks great, connects to your phone via Bluetooth, and counts your steps and distance traveled. That's about it, though, so it's not quite a replacement for full-fledged fitness trackers like the Fitbit Surge$219.92 at Amazon. Still, if you're just looking for a watch that also tracks your steps, the Time Metropolitan+ is a fine choice.
