OK, but battery life not so good

As a basic smartwatch, this is OK. The battery life is very bad, not a full day on a single charge unless you turn off a lot of 'smart' functions, so then kind of defeats the purpose. It is a bit on the heavy side as well, as compared to some other more smart fitness watches. But, for a basic smartwatch with connectivity to your cell phone, it works.

I am not the main user of this watch, but I helped set it up. It looks good, feels solid, and has a lot of useful features. The daily user is happy with it. I would consider buying this in the future instead of upgrading my FitBit.

Ok. I thought the price was lower. Also it was hard to figure out how to operate it. Finally figured it out and it works pretty good so far. I wish there were better information on how to operate it. Otherwise its a pretty good deal for the price I paid.

Excellent watch. It's fast and smooth wear os. Quality is very good, and nice design. So many features. Battery lasts two days with average use. Loved it. I bought in a sale event $100 off, so it was a good deal.

Love the watch, it’s easy to set up and works really well with the iPhone. It looks clean and modern and it is not bulky which we like, a nice alternative to the Apple Watch.

I like the features on this watch. It meets all of my needs. I don't however like that there is no a bezel around the screen. Screen protectors do not stay on well. I go through on average 1 every other day before they are peeling so bad they need replaced or they have just peeled off and disappeared. I wish they made a full cover like they do for the standard 5.

Seems to be a good watch. I previously had a Apple Watch. If you are okay with not seeing all the apps that are on your phone in your watch you will like this watch. If you want to see what’s on your phone on your watch you may not like this watch. Other than that it’s cool

Very nice smartwatch. I got it when it was on sale for $150, and I think that price is just about right. Only complaint is that it doesn't allow you to utilize it for phone calls

I really like the watch and its features but the battery life is really poor. The best length of use I got was around twelve hours. I bought another brand of watch and the battery lasts over 24 hours.

Really bad battery life

I bought this watch two weeks ago and I'm planning on returning it tomorrow, why? Because it has the WORST battery life. I have to charge it at night before going to bed and then again in the morning before going to work, and when I get back from work it's at 40% battery left and I have to charge it again just to last me all night so I can measure my sleep. The only good thing is it only takes about an hour to charge it but after two weeks I'm tired of charging it twice a day.

The generation to finally realize the dream

This device has finally made the 'dream' of a smartwatch a reality for me. I've had the last three generations of Fossil's smartwatches, and they've always been good but never fully responsive enough to really be what they needed to be. With this generation, the watches are finally fast enough to run WearOS properly, and it's a great experience. If you want a great smartwatch for the money, these Fossil Gen 5e watches absolutely seem to fit the bill.

All the same talk still surrounds any Wear OS watch... horrible battery life! Outside of that I don't have anything negative about the use of the watch; I don't care for the stock watchband though. Lint magnet and ridged.
I had a Moto 360 Sport for a long time until the watch band broke and was not user replaceable. Couldn't find anything suitable for price at the time and have been using an Amazfit Bip for a year now.
Both the Amazfit and Moto 360 are slim and small, ~9mm and 11.5mm respectively and so trying to get used to a thicker and larger watch is has been hard.
The Amazfit is great for a cheap basic watch, but it doesn't always work with getting messages or it triplicates them and Weather forecast never works.
What I want is an Apple Watch for Android. Going to give Samsung a try.

Great smartwatch

Great smartwatch. I have a Fossil Q Explorist which I find to be a little to big to wear at work. This watch is slightly smaller and the buttons aren't as easy to push by accident. I am very happy with this watch so far. It is faster than my Explorist. Battery life is good. I have mine set on daily. I can't speak on the other battery settings yet.
If you are looking for a solid dependable smart watch, this should fit the bill nicely.
