Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Fossil smartwatch, first of all looks nice. It looks more like a watch than some other smartwatches. The screen is the entire face of the watch with no flat tire at the bottom. The Gen 4 added better water resistance and sensors for body tracking to make it even better.

The best thing about this watch is how it looks. I love the large display and the side dials. You can also buy replacement bands to change the look up a bit. However, I ended getting a great deal on a Samsung Gear S3 Frontier watch, and I use that as my daily watch, and my Fossil as a weekend watch. So here is where Fossil missed... Battery life. I cannot get it to last all day. If I turn off bluetooth, WiFi, always on display, I get home and it is in battery saver mode. My Samsung can go about 2-3 days without charging. Watch faces. Although you can download many from the play store, you have to pay for a lot of the good ones. Fossil should have done a better job with the watch faces it included with this. Charger. Most everyone now is using wireless charging. Although this doesn't have a wire that literally hooks up to it, it is a proprietary charging "dock" that it uses, which is poorly designed when it comes to being able to just set it down to charge on a nightstand. You can't answer calls on this either, which I can on my Samsung. The touch screen responsiveness is not great either. I have trouble using the on screen keyboard or keypad every time I have to enter my pin in.

The watch is great the only thing is that you can’t do much since i have an iPhone and I think that this watch was made for Android. Oo the battery doesn’t last very long But other than that it’s good

Fossil has definitely hit a home run with this one. Also, with the latest WearOS update, the battery life has improved a lot. Would definitely recommend this product, with one hesitation. If you are going to use your watch to answer phone calls, please know that this watch does not have a speaker on it, only a mic. Other than that, this watch is solid and looks Great.

Nice looking design. Easy to sync with Galaxy. Battery last one day only

I got this because of the style. It functions as a Bluetooth device and connects pretty easily to phone to allow media functionality but you can’t watch media. Has the fitness tracker but I find wearing gym gloves presses against power button causing it to shutdown at times. Battery last about a full day. Overall I will upgrade but for now this is good for me.

I really like this watch but it's not perfect.. Good: The build quality is great, the screen display is great, no bloatware, universal band size so it can be swapped out, works with iOS and Android. Bad: This has the Snapdragon 2100 so battery life is meh (about 1 day), the bands can be swapped out but it takes several minutes.

Turns out that it's a little big but I do like the style and the quality. WearOS is fine so not sure why it gets many negative reviews. In my opinion most smart watches look like they are designed for kids but this is definitely a great watch for a professional business person.

Very stylish like most Fossil watches. Comfortable and not overly heavy bands are easy to swap out. Only reason I have this 4 stars and not 5 is the battery life. Normal wear it will last a day. However, if I use it to track a workout in the morning it dies by 6pm.

I absolutely love this thing! Has so many nice features and a great look. The 4/5 stars is for the glass not being scratch resistant, so I would recommend that you get a screen protector for this. Other than that though I have no complaints!

The Watch feels like a nice Fossil Watch rather than a digital watch. I have paired it with my iphone/iOS 12. Important things i noticed - Cons - 1. The Google OS app needs to be running all the time. 2. The Watch Interface occasionally hangs when you put it in airplane mode & try turning it off after a while 3. The battery life is relatively short. Max it survives upto 24 hours with a lot of restricted usage. Using some fancy watch face drains the battery very fast. Pros - 1. Look and Feel is very nice. 2. Provides good customization of available apps via the hardware buttons. 3. Nice integration with Google Account. Summary: Nice Watch but desperately needs few key upgrades.

I own a few smartwatches and this watch is simply beautiful to carry on the wrist. Only wished the battery life was longer, but I'd call it comparable to the Apple watch. And it is compatible with iPhones, with a few limitations.

The watch looks great. A great jewel to wear. But the battery life is not even a day. So mostly ends up in worrying about charging instead of enjoying the features.

Pro: Great display Built in GPS NFC for Google Pay Swimproof Fast charging Con: Not fully compatible with iOS (no calling or reply messages) Can be bulky and heavy while working out Google assistant is really slow One day battery This is probably much better when paired with an Android phone as it’s missing two major features when paired with an iPhone, calling and replying to messages. Since I don’t like using speaker calls nor typing on such a small display, I’m okay with that. You’re also somewhat stuck to using Google Fit for the time being. Still a good bang for the buck. Build and Design Overall this is a great looking watch. I like having a larger round face than a rectangular one. The display is sharp and vivid and the color on the faces really pop adding some stylish accents. The touchscreen is precise and responsive with no noticeable lag or jelly effect. There are three buttons on the side, the main dial is your navigation and home button while the other two can be customized as shortcuts. The HR on the bottom adds a tiny bit of thickness, but you won’t feel it nor did it leave in indentations in my wrists. The band, out of the box, is way too long and was a PAIN to shorten. Those pins are really in there and I was on the verge of having to buy a pin remover tool. The band has a latch and can be easily changed. Usability and Function While there are some major issues that can be a deal breaker (at least for iPhone users), overall this watch met my expectations. The watch is responsive and the display can be customized with numerous faces, each with its own custom displays. The notification can be a second or two slower than on the phone but otherwise syncs up fine. I did have the occurring problem with wifi connection. In theory, the watch is supposed to automatically turn on wifi whenever an app needed to and off to save battery, but in reality it doesn’t want to turn it on. Whenever I tried to use Google Assistant or the Play Store, it often gives me error saying it’s not connected and I either have to keep trying or have to manually turn on wifi to make it work. Speaking of Google Assistant, unlike on a phone, it’s much slower on the watch. It takes a couple of seconds for it to register and start listening and another 5-10 seconds to process what was dictated. App support on WearOS is still lacking. Most of the apps are usually more watch faces, exercise related, or some light task management. I would like to see Gmail supported or some smart home apps included. I would be nice to be able turn off the lights quietly and not have to reach for the phone. Let’s talk about the issues when pairing it with an iPhone. You will lose out on some big features like not be able to reply to messages or make a call. You will still get notifications previewing the text and who’s calling you but you’ll still have to reach for your phone. With calls, I had the icons to answer or reject the call, but it didn’t work for me. The phone function is built in to Wear OS but, again, clicking on it did nothing. The other issue is 3rd party apps integration. The same app on iOS and Android may not communicate with each other. For instance, I had issues with MapMyRun not linking to Google Fit (more on that below). Battery The battery will typically last about one day. With minimal use, even with constant display and background HR on, it can last over a day. Average use with fitness tracking will probably last about 16 hours. I tend to get down to about 25% when I go to bed. You have to make it a habit of charging it every night. On the other hand, charging is fast. Less than an hour charging and it had enough juice to get me through the day. I don’t quite like the charger though. The magnet is somewhat weak and I would preferred a more conventional usb-c cable, but I can understand the design issue. Fitness Tracking I found the watch a bit too heavy and loose to use while being active, but when I did use it, it worked fine enough. Both the step and the HR tracking can be hit or miss sometimes, but may be due to how loose it is on my wrist. The step tracking was most of the time accurate enough with an error range of about 10 steps, but sometimes it seemed to registered a lot of steps when I wasn’t moving. The HR tracker, for me, can swing wildly in normal day to day activities. My resting heart rate would get anyway from 70-100 when I’m sitting still. During workouts however, it did a better job of tracking my active state. Google Fit makes it easy to keep track of your activities with a clean UI, but it may be a bit too basic. The issue is that I use MapMyRun and MyFitnessPal, which could link to Google Fit IF I was using the android version, but on the iOS version I could only link to Apple Watch, and there doesn’t seem to be a way to link it to Google Fit. So now it only functions as a basic step tracker for me. Fitbit also doesn’t link to Google Fit without using another app. Conclusion Love the display and the look. It functions fine for what I need it to. The tracking hardware is sound, even though the software integration can use some work. Price is reasonable. It’s not as good with an iPhone so if you really need those features then you’re stuck with the AppleWatch, which also cost a lot more.

The watch look great love Wear os but too slow processors and battery run out life.

I grabbed this at a great price right before the Gen 5s came out. I have this paired with a Pixel 4 XL and also with my Dexcom G6 continuous glucose monitor. As a diabetic, this is game-changer. I just have to look at my watch to see my blood sugar, Highly recommend if you have an Android phone and use a CGM.

This watch is great and functions like I would expect a WearOS watch. Most of the slowness that can happen every once in a while is probably due to WearOS itself since updates tend to reduce some of the issues people have. Payment works great and the assortment of apps I can install is nice compared to something like the Samsung watches.

The battery runs out too fast, in less than half a day and the charging system it so poor. Why can't it be wireless? I love the straps, great one.

Bought this to replace an aging LG smart watch. This thing is night and day better. Looks great, all day use battery life. Couldnt be happier.

great example of a watch with no name that charges you for a product that is 80% over cost Then wont let you use it unless u pay for extra features. works and functions as it should with amazing quality and Price.
