    I like the watch which has smart features and does not look like a gadget on my wrist. This one is smart and has all features similar to apple watch. Compatible with android and iOS both.

    My husband can't seemed to get the battery watch to stay charged for a full day. It will last until noon before he has to charge it. Sometimes we cannot get it to charge on it's charger.

    I read the reviews about the Gen 4 and how this new gen 5 should have much improved battery life with the newer chipset and decided to wait for this one to come out. Without using one of the low power modes that significantly reduces the functionality of the watch I get about a half-day out of it. I put it on at 10 am this morning after charging it all night and now at 12:15 it's at 60% battery. I haven't even done anything with it except check the time twice. I have the always on display off and it's set to only turn on the display with a gesture (which doesn't work great compared to an apple watch or galaxy watch). I have it set to only check heart rate manually. Just writing this review it's dropped by 2% already. Other than that it's a solid watch and works well. That doesn't really matter if you can't even get a day of use out of it though.

    Replaced my LG G Watch (~2015) with this watch. The battery life can stretch for 2 days with the right configurations. I just wish I could disable the holding the big center side button as when I lean on my wrist (and I didn't realize how often I do that until I had this watch) I often accidentally activate a Google Assistant Voice Search.

    A nice, solid smartwatch for Android users

    Purchased this item to replace my old LG G Watch. It achieves all it promises to do: going through notifications, making/answering calls, making payments through G Pay, measuring heartbeats, etc. Charging is a lot easier with the ring-shaped magnet, too. I charge every night, and the battery level is around 40% after a full day of usage (with "always-on screen" off). However, it remains true that it's still just a watch and there are not a whole lot of new things you can do with it. And without "always-on screen", the very essential function of telling the time may not be as quick and convenient as a traditional watch.

    This watch was okay. It has a good amount of choices for the watch face, but the battery just doesn't last. For Fossil I think it could be better considering its not cheap. The value dropped very quickly in it by what I've seen online.
