    Even though the watch looks great, it was quite big for my wife's wrist

    The battery life on my fossil smart watch isn’t great at all and I often have problems connecting it to Bluetooth.

    I love the design of this watch. A few things I dislike are the battery life and it gets pretty hot at times. Also if I do not have the app running on my phone than the watch will not connect to my phone and I’m not sure if other smart watches do the same but it’s not very desirable. Everything else is good, I get my notifications fine as long as I’m connected and the watch face option is also cool. I also like the google fit

    Bought it for my gf on Christmas. She loves it and gets lots of complements a day on how nice and expensive it looks. Rose gold holds well and doesn't have any fade to any of the finish. Really high quality build. Software is easy to use. Only complaint is its battery life and speed compared to a Galaxy watch or apple watch. Can be laggy at times and battery life can be better but probably the best looking watch on the market.

    I love this watch. I’ve had several smart watches and I really wanted an Apple Watch but couldn’t beat the price for how classy this watch is. It syncs and I get calls, emails and texts no problems. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is the battery life is really bad. It lasts all day but not into the evening. Also I can walk for hours around a mall or someplace and it will say I only walked for 20 minutes. That might be a google fit issue but it’s disappointing

    Beautiful Watch/Battery Life is Terrible though

    This watch was a beautiful watch although the screen was just a smidge too small but it was nice having the buttons on the side as well. I returned this because I was unable to receive calls or even hear music. I wanted to be able to at least hear a notification not just the vibrations as well as listen to music. The battery life lasted one day or less even if I hadn't touched it and just left it on inside the box and that's even with the setting to turn the screen off so that it wasn't set to always on. Other than that and the fact that it didn't come with many watch faces. I didn't really like any of them except maybe one and the apps I downloaded worried pain to try and get the watch faces over.

    By far the thing that stands out the most is the design of the face. While I love the band I changed it because I wanted a silicone one. The only "problem" that I have is the battery life is a little short. Overall a great watch and works perfectly with my Google 3aXL.

    Coonects and works well with my phone. Has quick access buttons that are convenient. Has a range of detection between phones and device of about 4 yards. The only thing I don't like is that it doesn't have a speaker to make calls through the wach itself. U can make a call on the device but u have to have it phone at hand to actually have a conversation. Other watches less expensive could facilitate this. A handy feature however is when u want to text u can choose contact and then speak what u want to text and it sends it as a text. Over looks nice. I did not realize how extravagant it looks through the picture. Sometimes I feel to over dressed with it. And the rose pink gold is more gold than pink.

    This is such a beautiful watch. Unfortunately I did end up switching to Samsung. With the fossil you can receive and send messages, receive phone calls but you have to still answer it on your phone. I did get connectivity problems which I thought switching to the Samsung would be better... But it was not. The upside of the Samsung vs the fossil is that there's a built in mic on the Samsung so you can answer your phone and talk on your watch... Hello James Overall, it is a really nice watch and for someone that doesn't need a built in mic.. this is definitely for you.

    I love this watch! It's my first smart watch, my fiance wanted to get me an samsung active 2 but this one was cheaper. So we got this one as a trial to see if I like wearing a watch! And my fiance has said several times he like my watch more then his active 2! I do wish it had speakers and more watch faces but everything else is perfect!

    This beautiful watch is flawless and beautiful, has so many facets and layers that I have yet to get to even. The downside like most others is the battery life, but it can be usually remedied by switching the battery mode to conserve on the life.

    The watch was very pretty, and it had some cool features however the battery doesn't last long enough and I work 12 hrs shifts. So I may get 5hrs out of it at one time, that's my biggest issue.

    This is a great watch and the interface is easy to use. I really like the style, and the glass is super durable, however, the stones tend to fall out very easily.

    love the watch not so much the band. I have thin wrist so I had to remove some links. I do wish the battery lasted longer but overall great watch.

    Stylish fast charging very convenient and easy to use. Only downfall is having to add app. But at least that gives you the option to choose your preferred app.
