    I am an Android user, and this is one of the best android wear watches that you can buy. It is beautiful and works pretty well.

    Great watch, with excellent style. Some other reviews mention the watch feeling heavy. It is heavier then others but the quality shows and after I wear it for a few minutes I don't even notice it anymore! The only downside I have is that the exterior buttons are a little large and I wear it on my left hand. So when doing activities like pushups I sometimes push those buttons with the back of my hand. Not a big enough downside to dock any stars though! I love my watch

    Nice watch limited by Wear OS.

    Most of my gripes with this watch are with Wear OS. It is so limited in what it can do that right now. If you just want some notifications on your wrist you’ll be fine, anything above that and you might be disappointed. The watch itself is a quality piece outside of the watch band. The band is thin and feels extremely cheap. The screen in nice and bright and it looks nice on the wrist. Not near enough watch faces available, but there are enough to change it up depending on your use case. Unless you catch this on a REALY good sale I’d steer clear, especially with new watches around the corner from Fossil.

    The band broke within 5 days of purchase. Recommend you buy additional bands. Otherwise watch has good response and systems. Battery life about 1 day

    One of the best Wear OS watches out there

    I previously considered many different smartwatches. As an Android user (Galaxy Note 10+), Apple Watch was out of the question, and the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2 was tempting. However, as I've been a huge fan of Google's apps from the beginning (first smart phone in 2012), this was actually my first Samsung phone in 6 years. I was so used to Google's stuff that I didn't want a full-fledged smartwatch that was all about Samsung.

    My 2nd gen Fossil watch crapped out so I needed a replacement. I wear it to work and it does get it's share of abuse so I can't blame build quality. I do like the new features and the battery life is much better than my gen 2 Fossil. I also like the pins that the watchband uses, it makes it easy to change watch bands for a different look. I found it easy to use as I am already familiar with WearOS or whatever Google is calling it now.

    This watch is amazing. It's real lightweight, and looks like a real watch at the same time .. I love it because it goes with anything that I wear basically. Hopefully they'll come out with the cellular version of this watch .. A+++!!!

    The watch looks, feels, and works great. Wear OS is kind of lacking, it's clear Google isn't putting the same kind of effort into it. Being a programmer the watch has given me a focus. I plan on making simple apps for the watch.

    Nice watch with a lot of good features. However, sometimes the Bluetooth isn't connected when it should be, and doesn't always ring phone, even when it is close by.

    This is my 1st smartwatch and I'm quite pleased with it. Biggest benefit is that it's a Fossil which is know for quality watches. Downside is that it can be glitchy at times. Not always; nonetheless it pretty good.

    This is a great example of an Android watch, good looking form factor and quick release bands. Not quite as full featured as Apple watch and lacks some fitness features, but does what I expect for clearing notifications and such.

    The watch works alright and if you wear your watch on your right hand it will be a comfortable watch for you. The battery life with very light use leaves much to be desired and the watch seemed to find it necessary to default to notifying of an inability to connect to google constantly. The apps dont sync properly with my 5G LG phone and after owning three other smart devices, I would suggest you try any other brand. Will be returning.

    I love the way this watch looks it really stinks that it does not work with Apple phones. They lie when they say you can sink your phone and get text messages.
