    For a smartwatch, it is a good looking confortable, sturdy watch. I haven't tried swiming with it, but showering isn't a problem. Battery life could be better bearly making it a full day with a workout. There are several battery ansaving modes. Display is nice and bright. Much less expensive than similary equipted watches

    It is a great device. I bought this for an awesome price deal. Pros: you can sync it with your phone. You will get all type of notifications on it. Also YOU CAN answer phone calls from it, yes! Weather, steps, heart rate, step counting, control your music. Even answer your texts back from it. You can change the clock faces with several models from Fossil. It actually looks like a really cool watch. If you like watches this is a really good option for you. Cons: maybe to "fancy" if you wanna go and run with it or just do some excersie. It's more like a casual smartwatch. The battery doesn't last that long BUT it charges really fast! So you're good to go.

    Having owned since its inception 3 pebbles, 2 fitbits, 2 samsungs and now this Fossil. I feel it is a great competitor in the smartwatch arena. My cost was $205.00 out the door and now using for 14 days find it as great a watch in my day to day - work, recreation, gym as the S3 Frontier or Fitbit Surge. Phone calls, email, text (through AT&T) excellent. Gym and Google are not perfect but as a quick monitor situation are ok with my needs.

    I got this watch with a price match from Amazon for 139.99. I really liked the watch. The only downside was battery life. Even on battery saver mode, I would be lucky to have the watch last me an entire day. It was be 5 stars for me if battery issue was not present

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
