Verdict

The Timex Ironman Move X20 (S/M) is a lightweight fitness tracker featuring an OLED display with 16 x 96 pixel resolution and a 3D accelerometer to monitor daily steps, distance, and calories burned. It offers specific workout and sleep tracking modes, an IPX7 water-resistance rating (splash-proof), and Bluetooth connectivity for smartphone notifications such as caller ID and texts. Main pros include its slim design, reliable seven-day battery life, and helpful features like 'Phone Finder' and vibration alerts for goal progress. However, cons include a basic and sometimes buggy mobile app, a display that is not always-on to save power, and a lack of heart rate monitoring or built-in GPS.
