I love the watch itself... a big draw back is the quality of the calls through the watch. Very hard to hear and sometimes the other person can not make out what i am saying.

The reason for 3 stars is because I did like the look of the fossil, it is water resistant and it did have some nice "smart" feature. However, I had an Apple Watch series 2 before and I do like the apple better. 1st con: this watch doesn't last long on battery. I had to recharge it everyday after each use. The apple could last me 2 days even linked to my phone. 2nd: I really did prefer the smart feature of the Apple Watch compared to the fossil when it was linked to my iPhone such as the linked app, iMessage,.... For example, on my Apple Watch I could read and respond to my iMessages (with short answers of course). On the fossil, you can only read. Also, with the Apple Watch, it would vibrate and show me when I received a message. On the fossil, I always had to go to the main menu. So after those couple of drawbacks I returned the fossil and got me a new Apple Watch (first one was lost so that's why I tried fossil. If I had money, I would have kept the fossil and keep it during outdoor activities, yard work and breaks in the pool; but unfortunately it was either apple or fossil so I went back to apple!

So far, the watch seems to do what it is advertised to do. Having never had a smart watch before, I am still learning the features. It is nice to get calendar/email/text notices without digging my phone out of my backpack. So far, so good. I hope I can learn how to maximize the usefulness of its features.

The Fossil Q Marshall smart watch is a great value for the price. Good functionality and battery life. Battery life shrink if all connectivity and other features are enabled.

I bought this for my husband, and he loved the size and look. It had easy to use features, and a lot of options to change the face!
