    Specifically asked if this product would be on sale when purchased. Clerk said absolutely not. Week and a half later. Was 195 from 275. Mildly irritated. Watch was purchased for my girlfriend. She loves it, so that's a plus. It's well made, easy to fit if you have a watch too, and good battery life if set up properly. Happy with product. Not happy with clerk.

    This is an absolute beautiful watch, I get compliments on it daily! It tracks steps, calories, different workout options, time, texts, phone calls and more. The only complaint I have is I wish the battery life was longer than 24 hours.

    Bought this watch for my Mother who uses an Android phone. She has only ever worn classic watches and wanted some for her that would replace that but include new technology, but can be worn every day, even for special occasions when she dresses up. She LOVES it!

    I am really enjoying this watch. It's easy and fun to use. I like that it gives me a little "buzz" if I get out of phone range. I like that I can add and remove apps.

    I bought it for my daughter for Christmas. I didn't realize you cant respond to messages or answer calls. It's looks great and the workout features work well. But not worth the cost considering the lack of functions.

    I had a motorola smart watch before this. The motorola lasted much longer than this watch. The battery life was also better. I would not purchase a fossil smart watch again. I will be trying the samsung one next.

    It is a very nice watch but it did have some screen problems after a month and I had to get it replaced. My replacement watch I have now is alot better. Just wish it had better battery life for the price. Be sure to get a warranty. It’s worth it.

    The watch is EXTREMELY slow. The processor speed just seems like it can't keep up with the functionality. When I tap on an app it takes an eternity for the app to open. The battery life isn't very good either. It doesn't last an entire day of work which is a bummer. I've swapped phones while owning this watch and it's difficult to pair to a new phone. It looks elegant and I even customized my watch by purchasing a different band. But the cool stuff ends there. I don't recommend this watch.

    GEORGIOS but UI wasn't intuitive

    What is or isn't an "intuitive" user interface is very subjective but neither I (a tech professional), nor my wife (the wife of a nerd) found it very easy to use. This was chosen over the new Samsung Galaxy watch for its stunning style and quality band (typical of Fossil). It was returned for the Galaxy. My wife called me at work an hour after the Samsung arrived. She had it set up herself and was already listening to music on it and recording her stats in Samsung Health. Cheap rubber band and more money but so easy to use. Can't say enough how high quality the Fossil is in form and style. They just need better software.
