This is my first smart watch, and I do love this watch. Ive had this watch for a week now. One suggestion I would give is to let the watch download the update first before you do anything in which it took all day. After that it worked great. I use the watch mainly for the notifications. I do not make calls on it and try to talk through it because i didnt want it for that. I feel its very user friendly. So ive learned with the battery to make it last long is to charge it right before you goto bed, Usually takes an hour or so depending how much you use it, Once fully charged, turn the watch off. I turn it on when im ready to wear my watch for the day. I get a good solid 14 hours out of it with roughly 30 percent left. I love the leather band. It is comfortable. So for my first watch, I felt I made a great choice and highly recommend this.

It a great watch from Fossil that's compatible with Apple or Google. The only downfall is that I have to restart the watch from time to time in order to sync it with my phone. The watch is very stylish and lightweight.

This is the wear OS watch to get for 2019/2020. Features latest Snapdragon 3100 CPU which means better battery life & performance. This is Fossil's 5th Generation of this watch so they have had a lot of time to perfect this watch. Want Android pay? Heart rate sensor? GPS for runs? This watch checks it all off. As a bonus you can even place and receive calls on the watch thanks to built in speaker which is also great for Google assistant with great audio quality to boot. This watch also has a crazy huge library of killer watch faces built in that can be customized and Fossil did a great job in this area. I also really like the option to use the. Rown to scroll through apps and features. I honestly prefer Samsung's rotating crown however their Bixby assistant is useless and needs to be fired so this is the 2ns best way to navigate your watch apps. How about cons?? Well for a proprietary charger this is the best I have used. Magnatised and no pins to line up just place watch on it and that's it but why no qi wireless charging Fossil? 2nd con is I had watch for a day and next day during work watch screen turned off and watch never came on again. Went back to best buy and got a replacement and has been working flawlessly so will chalk this up as a fluke but still was disappointing and somewhat alarming for a new watch but I have gotten over this. Bottem line if you want the best Wear OS watch at a affordable price this is it. Wear OS has greatly matured and has great app selection and build quality is great. Go get one you will be happy you did.

It's a nice looking watch but wear OS still isn't exactly nice to use. Battery life on this watch could be better as well; not getting a full day of use.

Good looking stylish watch with wear OS. Just a little heavy,

Watch looks good, but WearOS is slow and clunky on it. Battery life is pretty poor if using most of the features. Sound quality for phone calls is ok.

This watch has a big, round, and bright screen to view. The smart watch directions is easy to read and follow. My husband was able to program his watch within minutes! I love the Smoke Stainless Steel Band. I love that this watch gives you the option to purchase different bands. My husband wanted the watch because all the features that was offered compared to the other smartwatches.

Probably the best smart watch in the market even better than Samsung. Did not give 5 stars due to the OS. Google really needs to step up their games with their Wear OS. Other than that, great watch.

Slim, nice looking smartwatch. Easy to use with programmable side buttons. I like it better than the Samsung owned previously. It's a lot slimmer with a more classic look. Battery life is good, I charge at night and it lasts all day even with always on face function. I honestly can't think of any 'cons'! Several band options through Amazon to change the look for any occasion.

It's a great watch. Super elegant and comfortable. It's compatible with all the 22mm watchbands. Amazon has a lot of them for under $10. The really issue is watch OS. It's very unruly and difficult, go ahead and adjust all the battery draining issues and the battery will last about 2 days. Remember the OS will do what you allow so keep it in check.

I have been waiting for a decent wear os smartwatch to come out before I wasted my money on a sluggish experience. I have watched (pun intended) numerous reviews before purchasing. It runs pretty smooth 90 percent of the time. There is definitely a little lag here and there, but nothing like the 4th gen version. Battery life is decent as long as you don't have thousands of notifications coming through. Having a speaker is definitely a huge win, don't know why there wasn't one from the beginning. Wear OS still need some updating. Lightening the os and making it more intuitive would be a plus. Overall it's the best and most fluid Wear OS smartwatch out there. Definitely recommend!

this watch is good compared to the other watch in the market. the design makes it more look like the regular watches and the life of the battery is improve. the only problem is the charging track on the back of the watch has a poor adhesive if you have it on and swim with it or take a shower the adhesive will come off but I fixed it with super glue.

Not bad at all. Main issue is the battery durability but, at the same time, it charges fast. I would recommend it if the price wasn't too high.

So I initially got this watch back in May but I broke it and did an exchange which is why it now has a date of 8/15/20. In the 6 months that I've had it I can say that this is a pretty amazing watch, I don't have any complaints just some suggestions. The battery is enough to get me through two days of wearing it, roughly 16 hours total before it gets down to 5%. In the next version putting a slightly bigger battery and giving the watch the ability to wirelessly charge like the Apple watch instead of using charging rings as well as fix the issues I've had with turning on the Google Assistant for "ok Google" detection.

Looks good. Wear OS let me customize how I want it. Battery life lasted a day based on my needs. Love seeing steps, heart rate, and other 'get moving' Google fit motivators.

This was a great watch, but it just didn't fit my lifestyle. I didn't want to have to deal with charging a watch every night and it just wasn't necessary for me.

Google assistant button sticks out and sometimes activates when I bend my wrist. Otherwise, comfortable and easy to use. I wish google wearOS was less buggy.
