    Premium smart watch

    My first smart watch, after reading hundreds of reviews, i narrowed it to 3 - fossil gen 6, diesel, and citizen, i settled on fossil gen 6 when it went on sale, after figuring out everything about it, which took a week or so, i love it. I have to charge it once a day maybe twice, the 1st time is while I'm asleep then maybe during the day at work with my battery pack, but it's cause i text with it and change my music and use Google pay, etc ALL day long. Yeah it could last longer but given the use i get from it as small as that battery is, it's acceptable. Yes i bought the 42mm 'womans' watch, vs the 44mm mens, cant tell the difference, did because i have always liked the 2 tones, couldnt get that with mens in gen 6. I am ordering some screen protectors, but i work with my hands on cars and construction and in a busy kitchen and it's still in new condition, and it's definitely water proof. I love it, my fiancee loves it and I'm planning on buying her one as well.

    I haven't owned EVERY Fossil smartwatch gen, but almost, I think this is my 4th. I continue to repurchase, because the upgrades are worth it. It's a pretty watch, I get lots of compliments on it, and it works nicely too. I did lose 1 gemstone from around the face, which hasn't happened with previous generations (I always get the blingy one, lol), it's not super noticable though. I am not at all careful with my watch and it holds up well.

    Beautiful Hybrid Watch

    Watch I purchased this as a replacement for my 3 yr old Samsung smartwatch, and I love it. I love that it has the look of a boyfriend sized fossil watch, but with all the electronic components and gadgets. It was easy to set up, charges quickly and lasts a good amount of hours (if I had to guess, I could probably go a day and 1/2 without charging, but that is with minimal use throughout the day). It is well made, and I love the metal watch band that comes with it. The swopping out of bands is a little harder than I would have liked (I don't have petite hands) and even with nails... it takes longer than I would like but when I want to dress up a little... that metal band makes it easy. It's pretty durable as well; I caught the very edge of it 3 times on the first day but luckily I had already placed a screen protector on it because the glass protector took all of the damage without leaving a scratch or ding on the edge of the watch face. The main reason I purchased this and not a Samsung again was the blood oxygen sensor. LOVE THIS WATCH.

    Wish I could have my kids as my background like before. This gen is 18mm prior was 22mm so watch straps I bought from fossil don't transfer. Having bought the last 2 generations before this, I expected more.

    Very good looking watch. Had heating issue while charging but was able to get a replacement device from best buy and no problem since then. Battery life could be better but overall nice watch.

    The watch face was way too big for my wrist. This watch was hard to navigate. I would have had to take the watch into the jewelry store, to take links out. Because, the band was way too big too. I ended up buying a different watch.

    This was a gift for my wife. She's happy with the watch overall but the battery life is awful. Also, when the battery gets recharged after getting very low, several settings automatically turn back on that she keeps off to save battery life. Very frustrating and annoying. Disappointing.

    I love my fossil smartwatch. I have several smartwatches from fossil and so far this generation has been the best for me. It's so easy to use and the speaker quality of the watch is better than I expected.

    I previously had the Fossil Sport, which was light-weight, so when I upgraded to the Fossil Gen 6, I was concerned that it would be heavy. To my pleasant surprise it isn't!! It is light-weight, not too bulky and the screen is big enough to easily navigate the screens and easy to read messages. It has a great battery life and it changes quickly. I have gotten many complements on its look and many are surprised to hear that this is a smartwatch. Best purchase!! No regrets!! Love, love, love this watch!!

    After a couple weeks the chain started to wear thin on the bottom. You could see the rose gold wearing off from normal stress from working from home. A couple weeks later, the power button failed and no apps were workable. Looking into it, THE BUTTONS ARE NOT COVERED UNDER FOSSIL’S WARRANTY. After that, then the touch screen stopped responding. This product was returned as defective and will be replaced with a Samsung. Do. Not. Buy. This is absolute garbage. My Garmin still works and is 100% intact after hiking, biking, swimming, running, no getting beaten up in a regular basis for the last 5 years.
