    My first Fossil watch and I love it. Work great and worth it. The battery could last for 2 weeks. Everyone said it’s beautiful and looks sophisticated on me.

    Love the look and the functionality of this watch! The analog face makes it appear to be a normal watch. The rose gold is a nice touch, I receive compliments almost daily!

    I bought this for my 60 y/o manpanion (boyfriend), and he loves it more than any other watch he has ever owned! He is not very tech-savy but figured this out quickly and has a lot of fun with it. The band is solid and very comfortable and the face it easy to read. This is his new favorite thing EVER!

    Bought this for my 68 year old husband for Father’s Day. He loves it and it does way more than his previous Nokia watch that broke after 2years. He says he highly recommends this watch to all the other old “fossils” looking for a simple to use smart watch.

    I love this watch so much, id look at youtube videos to see if it's for you but it gives me JUST the amount of functionality as I need and it's very clean My only sadness is that the leather strap is actually just a silicone one with a piece of leather on the top, but switching straps is easy as going to amazon

    I switched from an Apple Watch Series 5 to this, primarily because I was getting tired of having to charge that thing pretty much every night. This one I literally just charge when I take a shower, and I never have to take it off otherwise. Amazing battery life. Easy-to-read screen in the sunlight, and you can double-tap the screen to get a backlight at night. The hands are glow-in-the-dark too so it's easy to tell the time at any time of day.

    Amazing undercover smart watch. The display is black and white, the smart functionality is limited but is perfect for my use. Important to understand the capabilities and limitations of this watch before you purchase, it's unlike conventional smart watches, and that was the appeal for me.

    I was able to buy this watch while it was on sale, but even I had paid full price, I would be very happy with everything. It provides the look of an original Fossil watch, while still giving the functionality of what you would want from a basic smart watch. This is my first start watch, so it took me some time to learn the functionality of the watch itself, along with the app. But after some noodling and watching online tutorials, I got the hang of it. My only request would be for the side buttons to have some form of other app integration (ESPN, garage opener, etc), and for the watch to be fully water resistant. But if you are looking for something to provide you notifications, a good health tracker, and fun watch face design options, all with the stylish look of a classic watch, the this is a great find.

    The text on the LCD is tiny, not good for older eyes. The app kept disconnecting from my phone. It does work as an analog watch. I returned this item.

    Good watch. This ideal if you would like to be able to have some “smart” features without having to get something that more or less replaces phone. I like the look of the watch and that it looks more traditional than smart.

    Really fancy looking. Nice watch but if your eye sight is bad you can't see the apps. In the middle of the watch.

    Love It But It's Definitely a Beta Product

    I absolutely love the look and weight of this watch. The battery life is absolutely amazing. The software does what you need it to as long as you're expecting a super smart watch. However, as others have said, there are some manufacturing build issues that you'll want to consider before purchasing. Condensation is a very real problem and it'll only increase with the summer months. The biggest issue that I've come to find though is the e-ink screen. After four months, it's began to turn grey and fading - so much so that it's becoming hard to read and it has to be sent in. After having a pebble and other e-ink devices, I have never seen deterioration like this and this quickly. I can only assume that it's related to the poor sealing job that results in the condensation. I am giving it another try with this watch because I like so much about it but if it happens again, I'll definitely have to move on until they can solve the build issues. Other misc notes: -The watch hands do light up if you get enough sun but if you're not in the sun all day it's probably not going to work for you. - The key to the light is to double tap the upper-left of the watch face. It works almost 95% of the time when doing it like this. - The glass is weak. Get a glass protector or you're going to get scratches.
