Works great download apps well I have a iPhone 7plus and it pairs really well with it. See all messages and notifications. I also can make calls off if it and everything is heard loud and clear.

One of the nicest looking smartwatches
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.In my opinion, you'd be hard-pressed to find a nicer looking watch than this. It has a very classic style and is not near as bulky as many other smartwatches. It packs many competitive features as well, with few compromises. I'll get the biggest issue out of the way first. If you're using all the features, the battery is going to need to be charged daily. If you're fine with that, then this watch will likely easily suit you. The bright side of that, is that the watch charges very quickly. They boast 80% in an hour, but I think it may be even faster than that. It also has some great options to extend battery life. For instance, you can have it shut off connections from 11 pm to 6 am to conserve battery life, and that will help it easily last two full days. You can also enter these battery saving modes very quickly from the pull down menu on the watch. It's quick to navigate between screens and applications, call quality is very good, notification management in this latest version of Wear OS is quick and easy to use. Notifications show on the watch instantaneously, which were sometimes slightly delays on other watched I've used. The knob dials on the side of the watch are very smooth, and I haven't accidentally used them unintentionally like I initially feared. The clasp is also great, I have a medium-sized wrist and had a local jeweler remove 3 links to fit me. It's not overly snug or uncomfortable, and it actually feels lighter than any of the other smartwatches I've owned. Even with the metal band, which looks very nice in my opinion. The fitness tracking actually seems to be a bit more accurate than other watched I've had as well. Including a near-continous heart rate monitor. I have mine currently set to take a reading every five minutes. I haven't seen a way to track floors though, and perhaps it's unable to do so. It also doesn't track sleep natively that I could see, but there are some third part apps that fill this need, if that's something you're looking for. The one I used (Sleep as Android) also integrated with Google Fit. Overall, I'm very happy. This is a smartwatch that gives you all the features you'd expect, and looks very classy doing so. Pros: Elegant, lighter than expected, quick, charges very fast Cons: Battery life (though this can be tweaked to last longer), some fitness features may not be available out of the box, or at all

iPhone Users - Go for it now. OTA update pushed
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This review is just for iPhone users. I use iPhone 7 and had an assumption that everything will work as expected but that isn’t the case. May be I did not do proper research before I bought this watch. However to ease out for iPhone users, I am letting my observation out. So people can know what they are going to get when they buy. Features as of now: 1. Only notifies you that you got a message along with the sender’s name for apps such as Whatsapp, sms etc but you cannot reply or read the message from the watch. 2. You will get notified on who is calling with the name and the number, you can either choose to attend or reject, however you cannot speak using the watch. Note: Just browsed the internet and came to know that the OTA update would hit us before the year end. This will enable us to make calls and attend the calls and speak using the watch. Until then we need to wait. For android they have all liberty to use and no restrictions. Now coming to the look of the watch and performance. 1. Watch looks stylish and cool. 2. Navigation is smooth and easy. 3. Notifications hit the phone without any lag. Rest I will update once I start using. This is my first day. I will rate 5 stars once the proper update is pushed. **************************************************** So as I mentioned before OTA update got pushed two weeks back. Now I am able to take calls and make calls using my watch. Speaker is audible and mic is also good while I used my watch. However, you need use Google fit app for fitness tracking as Apple Health app will not work well with this watch.

Excellent smart watch, with a great battery
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Despite the numerous complaints of the battery life on this watch I've found it be the best I've used to date. I can get up go to sleep with the watch on at 100% and wake up after 6 hours with 90%-95% battery life to start the day. A full charge will get me 36 hours of under moderate use and 48 hours under light use. The watch looks great on and off the wrist. It does not look bulky or like today's generation of the calculator watch. I use it as a smartwatch, not a fitness watch, so I do not have an opinion on the fitness features. The smartwatch features that I use work great, especially Google Assistant, and speak to text. Things to note... (1) The battery life sucked for the first several days. I feel this was caused by 2 main reasons. First, The software was constantly updating and my screen time was excessive as I was personalizing the features. Second, there are some tricks that I needed to learn in order to not waste battery life, which I will get into next. (2) There are some features that will drain the battery very fast. I will just explain the features I have on or use frequently and the ones I have off or no longer use. Hopefully, this will help those who are not getting the same experience as I am. --On/Use frequently - Custom battery mode, Tilt to wake, Wi-Fi (connected to my phone's hotspot), Google Assistant, weather, alarms, messages app, timer, stopwatch. Do not disturb when off wrist --Off/Don't use - Always on, touch to wake, maps app, notification previews, fitness apps. -If I am working out, or working in the yard/shed I sometimes manually turn off the screen by scrolling up and touching the icon under the speaker on/off icon. This will turn off the tilt to wake feature until I use the manual button to turn the watch back on. Overall, I love the look, feel, and features of this watch.

Excellent smartwatch.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Elegant !
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Looks very elegant, it catches the attention of those apples. You have to adjust the battery settings otherwise it won't last you all day. It looks stunning. Fossil has other accessories on its store that will add versatility to your smartwatch. Sadly WearOS is a pain but that is on google. Oh Google u bad

The smart watch for stock android lovers
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was considering the new Galaxy line of 2020 but having had one before I really do not like the way Samsung supports its products long term. I decided to give this Fossil a try at a reduced price versus Samsung. Boy am I happy I did. If you are someone who wants a smart watch to look good on your wrist, not be massive in size, and give you all of the functions you need, this is for you. You will especially love it if you are a Google Pixel user since the software syncs with stock Android the best. The health features are sufficient and batterly life is typically around two days when I am using a custom mode. I can easily recommend this watch to anyone who enjoy stock Android and does not like Samsung software all that much.

Best smartwatch for Wear OS
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best watch for Wear OS. Make sure to update the firmware to the latests as that resolves some of the battery life issues that plague Wear OS. I'm really loving having Google assistant on my wrist.

Amazing, every day watch!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this watch as a gift for my boyfriend. He has loved it since the day he took it out of the box, and only takes it off at night to charge! He loves the ease of answering phone calls and viewing notifications on his watch, especially during work or active hours when pulling a phone out of his pocket would be a hassle. He’s a big guy and he still had to take a couple of links off for his wrist, so it is definitely a one size fits all! Best of all he loves the look. He’s not a fan of the silicone or “active” wristbands. This gives the look of luxury, and the feel of it too. I would recommend this product for any android owner!

Such a nice watch
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice sized screen, responsive, you can talk through it. Not a lot of companies are making big advances in Android Wear unfortunately, the tech in this isn't leaps and bounds ahead of other watches made around the same time. What it does do differently is look nice and professional, I am fine with a crazy hacked together device but I know a lot of the older generations held off on smart watches since they didn't 'look professional'. This one should work for them, and anyone else needing a smart watch.

Best Wear OS watch I have ever owned
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The only thing I could ask for is a bit better battery life. I own a OnePlus 6t and the main reason I went with Wear OS over the Galaxy line is the Galaxy watches can not dismiss ringing alarms. You can see that an alarm is going to go off and disable it, but after it starts you have to pull out your phone. You can reply to messages, take phone calls, add apps from the Play Store, and customize the watch without needing to pull out your phone. The rotating crown is not something I use but I suppose there will be some who prefer it to just using the touch screen. The watch band is very comfortable and easily replaceable if you need to.

worth every penny
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.worth every penny . awesome weight for a high end watch awesome features. many choices for the display. I do not use many of the features and over a 12 hour shift every night i have never gotten the battery below 65%. it did take me a little while to get it set up but i am old and i bought this and my first ever smart phone at the same time so it took me a bit to figure out what was going on but if you are smart phone savvy you shouldn't have any issues. i wanted a smart watch but i wanted a nice one not one that looks like i was on the way to the gym
