Although it has taken me a little bit to figure out how to set everything up to obtain the most benefits of the watch, it is really now starting to pay dividends. Once you download the Fossil Q and Android Wear apps to your phone, you can set up everything once you have pair the devices via Bluetooth. Do note however that you need to charge the watch daily (or overnight, as I try to do) to keep the watch battery from getting low so it cannot operate at its best. But once set up, you can change from the watch face and what apps you can access from the "face" of the watch, while also keeping the battery from draining to quickly by having the watch go to screensaver unless certain wrist movements are made. I can't wait to learn more things this watch can do. And it is very stylish

This is nice watch with smartwatch features. I liked it because of it's look. This is not as compatible with iPhone because it is android watch and compatible with android for receiving call, making call, answer text message. The watch will notifies you for any event if paired with iPhone but you won't be able to perform any action for those notification. You can change dial color, screen and other display setting like activity, weather or world clock. It is nice watch with limited feature with iPhone. That's why 4 stars.

I've always enjoyed fossil watches for their quality in design and this fossil smartwatch holds up to that standard. I own four different brand smartwatches and this is my favorite. Would have given five stars but the screen scratches easily and battery life needs improvement compared to other smart watches I own.

Nice watch and very nice design also. I have an iphone and could see my mails and calls but since it's android, you can't use all it's features like reply to a text. But overall, it's a nice piece and so happy with my purchase.

Paired it with my iPhone 6s Plus for 1 day. It disconnected and never linked back again. It looked great but never worked. No longer supported by Google.

Bought this as a gift for someone older. In terms of being a watch/jewelery, it's high quality, looks really sharp. That's not the problem. The interface looks nice and is reasonable considering you have limited space to work with, but it's not exactly easy to navigate through menus, for simple things like fitness/step counting, you would think they could make a simpler interface that required less searching through menus for things.

It took a little bit to actually set the watch up but once that was accomplished it works like a charm. I bought this for my son-in-law who was looking for something stylish.

Would not hold a charge for even a half day. Charged at night but by noon the next day it was almost completely down. Kept it for 30 days trying different things but nothing worked. Best Buy WOULD NOT stand behind it because it had been more than 15 days. I had to mail it to Fossil. Fossil's customer service was awesome! They were very friendly and accommodating.

This is one of the most well made and stunning smart watches I have owned. It works flawlessly and the software never slows down even when you play games on the watch. My only issue is that it charges too slowly. It takes 3 or better hours to charge fully when most watches can charge in about an hour. Overall though it's one of the finest smart watches in my collection.

My only complaint is that Fossil doesn't include extra links for the band, for people with bigger wrists.

This is a good product. Keeps time well, synchronizes with my Google Pixel phone without fail. I find this watch to be better in comparison to the Samsung S2 (I am not a fan). Of course, the Fossil does not have calling capability, but to be honest, calling capability is not something i am looking for. As far as i am concerned they make bluetooth earpieces for that. who really wants to talk to their wrist when conversing on the phone? Navigating the menus and apps is clean on the Fossil Q as well.

The only problem I have with the watch is that I can't receive my texts on it like I did on my LG urbane.
