Very sleek looking, Fossil quality, and easy to first boot up, and already comes with a good selection of watch faces. You can download more from the Google Play Store, free, and paid, and it install on the fly just like your Android phone. The battery life is as good as to be expected. I don't have TONS of notifications coming in constantly, so for me the battery life will last all day, and then some, but I'll charge it every night just so I won't have to charge it in the middle of next day. Nothing lags, and so far, everything has been working perfectly. The way it is now, this watch has nothing bad going for it.

I like the Android operating system as opposed to precious watch that was Samsung for my Google Pixel. This doesn't have the battery life of my old watch. Plan on charging every night.

I recently broke my Apple Watch and decided to see what else was available in the smart watch category. I am so far very satisfied with the Fossil explorist Q. This watch is very stylish and can be worn for any occasion. The durable design is also a very strong selling point for this watch. I’d recommend this to anybody in search of a good all around stylish smart watch.

I wanted a watch that (a) told time (b) looked really good and (c) would interact with my phone and this watch ticked all those buttons. The only thing lacking in this was some of the health-related sensors (heart rate, etc) but for me, that's okay.

This is one of the best looking smartwatch in the market with Google Wear. But the lack of heartbeat sensor and poor battery life is holding me back for recommending this watch.

I was a little hesitant at first just because of the brand name wasn't like an apple or Samsung but after buying it and setting it up I absolutely love it. The only complaint I have is battery life doesn't last all day.

I think that the mfg. needs to rethink the center button. If I bend my wrist in the up position the button is activated and the face changes so the I have to repress the button to get back to the original face that I want

This is a great watch for those who want a stylish piece. I am using it on iOS and it works great granted it does not allow you to use some features. For those using Android it is amazing! Would recommend.

I truly do like the watch. I was disappointed to find out that my phone with the Google app installed had to be within Bluetooth range for the 'non time telling' functions to work. I'd give it a 4.5
