    Bought this watch for my husband's fathers day gift. He absolutely loves it. The only complaint is that the battery doesn't last long and he has to recharge if often. Other than that, we are satisfied customers.

    A little Christmas gift to myself. I have the Gen 3 that I bought a few years ago. I was more impressed with this model as it seemed as though it has worked out some of the bugs that plagued the early models. The software is smoother. Battery lasts the day. This is my third smartwatch. I enjoy my Samsung galaxy active however it is not as formal for when you put that exta effort to look good for nights out. This will combine style and function. Make sure you look into your compatibility with your smartphone I know most people have more trouble with pairing with IPHONEs. Have not had any issues with Android platforms. P.S. look for some sort of screen protection, Fossil does not the replace touchscreen unless you pay $100+ for a new screen. It is not covered by the factory warranty.

    This is a great watch. 4 stars for the battery life. It goes only for a day. When compared to Garmin watches which last for 4-5 days

    I purchased this watch because i wanted to be to answer calls when I couldn't get to my phone or while driving. So, far I don't have any complaints. Also, I like that there are many watch face options to choose.

    this watch is ok, but the battery is the worse. evern with 2/3 of the watch disabled I only get about 5-6 hours of battery life before its dead. from 100% battery to 10% in 5 hours has got to be the worse even with everything disabled. my previous watch, a no-name off az, had 3 day battery and even more features than this one, so most likely i'm going to be returning this watch.

    This is a great watch but the battery could use some improvement. It lasts a day for me if the wifi is not turned on. Otherwise it only lasts about 8 hours.

    Awesome watch, which i needed because i bought an android phone and my apple watch didnt work with the android. The cool thing about this watch is that it will work with an iphone when i come to my senses and switch back to one.

    Excellent. My main concern was battery life, but so far I'm getting a decent 1 1/2 day work most features on. I like the interface, is clean and user friendly. Wear OS might not be the best system but it's slowly improving. The watch itself is elegant with a simpler design compared to the gen 5.

    Great Wear OS watch. Battery just gets thru the day but it's the same with my wife's Apple watch 6. The sleep tracking is great. Very solid heart rate monitor and plays great with Google Fit. Fossil always uses solid materials. Looks sleek. Very pleased!
