The USP of the Timex Blink fitness tracker is that it can send instant emails, SMSs, and notify your contacts with your GPS location in case of an emergency. Timex and Blink have developed the “SOS” emergency technology for the watch which is specifically made for the Indian users.
Timex Blink specs and features
The Timex Blink band is compatible with both Android and iOS devices – it uses Bluetooth to connect to your phone. However, to make full use of the band, you will have to download the Timex Blink app from Play Store or App Store and pair your smartphone with it.
Timex Blink displays time and current battery level on its OLED display. It sports a 0.9-inches touchscreen display with a Stainless Steel 304 L Case. It comes with a Nordic nRF52832 CPU, and a 6-axis motion sensor. It also features SOS technology to send emergency alerts, which is triggered by a long touch on the touch key. The Timex Blink band can track all the activity that we do daily including step counting, distance covered, calories consumed and sleep tracking. It is powered by a 90mAh Li-ion battery which Timex claims can offer backup for 10 days in-use and 12 days of standby. It uses a standard microUSB cable for charging.
