    I bought for my husband, as he was admiring my new Fitbit. He has gotten multiple compliments on the style of the watch...he can do so much with this smart watch. And, it has encouraged him to lose weight! He says it is my best gift purchase for him, yet! We’re pleased!

    Battery lasted only 9 hours. Minimal usage. Always on screen off. This is good for a weekend watch. Would not recommend for weekday/work use.

    The first watch I received was defective. I took it back to Best Buy and they were great in ordering me another one. But the second watch was almost the same. It connected to my phone the initial time but not since. I contacted Fossil for support, the first time they responded after 6 days, the second time after I explained that I had the exact same issue they have yet to respond and it has been almost 2 week. I love the look of the watch but it is a disappointment as far as from functionality, not worth the smartwatch price just for a digital watch.
