    This device is great, but it's very sensitive to the touch. Also, make sure to purchase a screen protector.

    Great quality watch as you expect from Fossil. The features available that integrate with an Android Phone are very good and the watch is very responsive. If you are looking for a smart watch spending a little extra money is well worth it for the benefits.

    I've had several smart watches, android, Apple and Samsung. This thing is by far the worst. Setup took hours because Bluetooth wouldn't connect. Notifications were customized and annoying (not standard androidwear) Watchfaces are limited. Heavy as heck.

    This watch was on sale for 160, and I love the look of the watch so I bought it. Most reviews will tell you it is heavy and it is, but I don't mind. A lot of other reviews will say that Android Wear 2.0 takes all notifications away and yes it does. However after 2 days of playing around and resetting the phone I found that Google Now gives back most notifications, or you will need to install an app on the phone (such as Facebook Messenger) Now about a week into having the watch, I really like it. I had a Gear Fit and it worked wonderful, at the time of buying this I bought my wife a Gear Fit 2 and she only had to install the app and all notifications worked seamlessly with her Galaxy S6 phone. Me on the other hand, 2 full days of messing with settings (also Galaxy S6) to get it to work the way I wanted it to, so set up sucks, but now that it is set up I get all the notifications I want, there are a few features I am still playing with to understand them. So I will say overall, if you don't like a heavy watch or have the patience to set up the phone (set up goes thru multiple apps on both the watch and phone to work as desired) then probably gonna frustrate you. But now that it works how I want, I am a satisfied customer and it gets 5 stars. I would give it less stars for setup but I feel the set up process is more the Android Wear software and not the watch.

    Everything I could ask for and then some

    I use this watch more than I ever realized I would use a smartwatch. I received it as a birthday present by coworkers and spent the day just setting it up and updating the OS, etc, nothing special. When I got home I really started to examine what this thing could do. First of all, it's Fossil. They MAKE watches. They know what they are doing. The amazing watch faces both available for free or for small fees are also amazing (watchmaker, facer, etc). The apps and controls from the watch are also rather useful. Remote shutter to your phone's camera, sleep tracking in conjunction with your phone, directions, live gps, using your watch to talk on the phone when your phone isnt around. The range on the bluetooth is amazing, probably amongst the further I've seen in bluetooth devices. HIGHLY customizable and works perfectly with any and all Android Wear apps and products like external heartrate devices, etc etc. Overall, the cost isn't too bad compared to other smartwatch solutions, it's a hot look with the two toned stainless band, feels well built, showerproof and oh, one of the most important parts, the battery lasts longer than a day; especially if you are using it at night with sleep tracking and you put the watch in theater mode - which shuts off the idle screen so it uses barely any battery at night even while tracking your sleep. GREAT PRODUCT!

    Went from hero to zero

    Watch is great and looks great and works great.... until the Android Wear 2.0 update and then you loose the call from the watch feature and the ok google (well, you have to push the button on the crown first). You loose gestures and you pretty much have a paper weight. Save your money and don't become frustrated when the watch updates. Maybe the new line of watches will be better but for you will be sorry you bought it.
