    I bought one for my daughter last Christmas. Two months later....it stopped working. I called Fossil customer support who couldn't have cared less. So I called Best Buy (where we bought it) and they were very helpful. Sent a replacement right away. Unfortunately UPS lost the replacement, so they sent another then we finally got the one from UPS. In short we ended up with 3 watches. BOTH of the new ones stopped working within two months. Sent two of the watches to the Fossil repair people. Received them back about 2 weeks ago and...guess what?? One has already stopped working and now the back has fallen off. DO NOT BUY!!!

    The watch looks nice but that’s about it. The app is useless, the step counter is horribly inaccurate, and after less than 3 months it just froze and stopped working.

    This is actually the second watch I bought. I bought one for myself and was very pleased. Two weeks later I bought one for my mother, and both my mom and dad are happy with it. It pairs great with androids. Would highly recommend this product.

    My wife's Christmas present, she is very surprised at the functions she has and everything she can do with this new watch, the only thing that worries is the battery's life but it lasts longer than her working hours.

    This watch has very good looks and nor bulky than other smart watches. However I do miss the calling feature like other watches do even though this watch has microphone. Still decided to keep!

    I did not keep this watch. It is compatible with IPhone, but only for a very few features. Text messages and phone call notifications would not work. The look was very nice though.

    The battery life made this non-functional. I got the watch all set up and really liked it. However the battery life was only about 8 hours. I changed many settings and did everything recommended to extend the battery life. The absolute max I could get was 17 hours. That made is non functional for me
