This smart watch has its good things and its bad things and among the good things I like charging because it is fast despite the fact that the battery is not the best! I recommend it as one of the best quality price smart watches !!

I’ve been using the watch for five months now and although it pairs with iOS it still lacks the essential reply to messages and emails. We are still missing some cross platform compatibility.
As far as looks and wrist band option, this is much more compatible. dropped price after purchasing, now wishing there was a better offer to buy the apple watch.

I like everything except for the battery life. If you don't use Wear OS to detect your workout, then the battery can last for around 8 to 10 hours. However, if you go to workout after work then the battery is definitely not enough.

This watch is not what a expected. The battery barely even last a day. The delay on syncing and using the watch with my phone is just horrible. I wish i had a chance to return it before the 15 days was up so now it just sits in my desk not being used anymore. The worst purchase I've made so far !!!

This is the pinnacle of where Fossil's approach to Android Wear has gone as of the time of this writing. Although there's still probably some room for a better processor, this watch finally has enough RAM and enough storage to be good. The 5's integrated GPS is the main distinction between it and the 5E, but it's a nice thing and probably worth the price difference.

The watch was awesome but it was kind of small on my wrist and returned it after a few days of use. Battery life was fine I used it for around 14 hours with full brightness and always-on display enabled and before I put it to charge watch had around 40% battery left. Used it for Text messages and few calls when I'm home and didn't want to reach for my phone. The speaker on the watch is okay not the best but for a small watch didn't expect it to be awesome. The watch is "water-resistant" or waterproof because I used it on vacation in the pool no problem "pool was no more than 6 feet deep".

Battery life is ok. But it's as described. I turn off most notifications except for must haves to maintain battery life and also keep the brightness down
