This watch is very nice looking and looks expensive wear. The stainless steel and other material used in it is high end. Display is also good but not very sharp. It’s a much better looking watch as compared with the Apple Watch but the only limitation is that it has android system and all features don’t work very well if you are an iPhone user. Otherwise I am impressed by the quality, battery life and looks of the watch.

Great watch, works fine. Battery life is sufficient. However, durability seems less strong than my previous device.

Fossil Gen 6 is a good watch. Charges fast and is stylish. Would like to have a second charger so one at home and when for on the go. If you are a power user like myself and use the watch as a speaker phone. Battery drains pretty fast.
Since this still is running Wear 2.0 it is behind in the game. Paying 320 for this watch now was a bad call for me. Since the update wont come out for at least another 8 months and we all know this watch will drop in price as all watches do. I have a Gen 5 that looks almost the same and could have waited.
If you can hold off till either A) Update arrives to Wear 3.
B) Price drop. I think then you will have best value for your money.

After searching for a while. I found this Fossil Smartwatch that fits my needs. It has a good blend of smart/fit watch. It works well with my Pixel 7 Pro, but can be slow to connect at times. A wide range of apps in the Play Store, make tracking my health goals.

im a pretty big guy and the watch was still one slab too big. I was scared that it might be too small for a big wrist but it was fine. it does not come with any tools to remove a slab but theres tones of videos online about it. although the screen is 40 Hz the animations are smooth and it doesnt feel any slower than my old iwatch gen 3.
The reason why not 5 star is battery life. Ive had iphone since iphone 4 and iwatch since gen one and iphone did spoil me with their battery both charging and discharging. I now have a OnePlus8 and this watch and both devices are noticebly worse with battery life. With this watch im getting about 12 hours with 8 hours of moderate usage and walking about 5k steps. with the iwatch i could easily get more than double that.
other than that the watch is heavier than the iwatch but i love that it feels like an expensive traditional watch.
with the different face apps available its impossible to just chose one watch face

I love the watch, it reacts quickly and has all the functions I was looking for. The only reason it's not 5 stars is because I wish the battery lasted longer. I can get through about 36 hours in one charge.

Very nice watch. Great quality and looks nice for casual and professional. My only complaint is the battery life. Thr reviews say the battery will last for 2 days but this one barely holds a charge for the day. Works fine with iphone 11 for the most part. A few features aren't compatible yet but I knew that before purchase. Hopefully an iso update soon will fix those issues.

This watch is a huge improvement over the Fossil Gen 5. The watch is very fast and lag-free thanks to the new processor. Battery life is significantly better and it chargers extremely fast compared to then Gen 5. The new blood oxygen sensor is really cool and useful to have. It's also just a beautiful watch - I've only been wearing it a few days and I've already gotten a bunch of compliments on it.

Big Improvement Over the Gen 5

I really, really love this watch. It is a big improvement over the Gen 5, especially in the battery life department. I can now go more than a full day without charging. I have taken it off the charger early in the morning, gone the full day, and then gone to sleep with it on my wrist. There is usually not much charge left after that, but it is still a HUGE improvement over the Gen 5, which would be almost dead when I got home from work. And this is with pretty much everything turned on: Always on display on, Tilt to Wake off, NFC on (for tap to pay), continuous heart rate monitoring on, and answer on watch on. My family and friends love to hike, and my Gen 5 would be dead 3 hours into a hike. Now I can hike for 4-6 hours and still have plenty of battery to spare. The Wellness app brings a great suite of vital sign monitoring. Continuous heart rate monitoring works great and seems to have no impact on battery life, and the blood oxygen sensor is a great new addition that is interesting to see. The watch itself is built solidly, and I love the new "guard" around the crown. The only thing I am disappointed in are the claims about charging speed. They claim that it charges twice as fast as the Gen 5, and that it can reach a charge of 80% (from zero) in 30 minutes. Neither of these claims are true in my experience, so don't believe that. For that, what would have been a 5-star review, loses a star, hence the 4 stars. The charging speed is pretty much the same as the Gen 5. However, I still love this watch and I highly recommend it!

Great looking Watch! I recommened a different band than this chain though. Too bad the smoke stainless steel only comes with a chain. Compatible with most 22mm watch bands make this a good value. Works with Google fit witch provides some good enough info on traacking your heart rate, oxygen sensor readings, and more. This is compaitble with iPhone.

This is my third Fossil Watch and I haven't found a reason to switch to another brand. The watch looks and works great. Google on the other hand needs to improve their software to better track some of the features on this watch like the Oxygen levels and the hearth rate. I haven't found an app to play music trough the device speaker, It only works for voice.

A few cool things about it, does text, email, voice assistant and notifications an as tracking your health. One of the issues I have with it for some reason you are not able to take calls. After a specific update, it stopped taking calls. Not a deal breaker but found it weird when it did it before and just stopped connecting to the calls

One of the prettiest Smartwatches on the market. However, I do not recommend for iPhone users. The functionality is seriously limited eith an iPhone, and to use it at all the WearOS app has ti be running, which is itself buggy. However, since I've moved from iPhone to Galaxy, my user experience has been completely different, I'm now a big fan.
