    A great watch, with a small caveat

    My wife absolutely loves this watch and wears it everyday. The most recent update seem to make it even faster than it was 6 months ago, which as a tech item is highly unusual Fort actually getting better with time. It looks fantastic and is very stylish. one thing I will say is that the Wristband is very thinly coated, and wore off the Finish within 6 months. Replacement bands aren't that expensive so we bought another one but it is something to keep in mind.

    Very stylish. Fairly easy to use. A couple complaints are it is difficult to remove the band links, if you bought a watch like this at a jewelry store they would do it for you, but BestBuy doesn't offer that. Another complaint is if you clear the notification on the watch for let's say a text message it remains on your phone and will keep reminding you unless you respond from the watch. It also has limited quick text responses that are not customizable. Overall a decent watch for the money.

    I bought the Fossil Q smart watch mainly because of its styling. I wanted a traditional looking watch with some smart capabilities. This watch is very stylish with a round face and a metal band. The ring on the face is not functional like other watches. For this reason, you have to use the screen to move through the menu. They did improve on earlier designs where there was a black bar at the bottom of the face. This version uses the entire screen face. The battery life is not very good on this unit. It lasts barely a day. Now, the functionality. I have found that other than replying to emails, the watch doesn't do a lot. I expected to do a little more with it but I still like the styling. At the price I paid for it ($199 on sale) and the custom faces, it was worth it for me even though I don't use the smart functions that much. It is a very nice and study watch that looks great.

    I really like this watch for not being a major smartwatch brand, IE Apple or Samsung. It’s a good looking watch and has a lot of the features as the other ones, with a few exceptions. You cannot reply to texts or answer your phone. You can view the texts and see when someone’s calling, but cannot answer it. You can accept it, then pick up your phone and talk, or deny it from your watch.

    I got this because I like the look of this better than any of the others. It does everything I need it to. The battery will last me about 2 days. I ordered a different band because the one it comes with is too chunky.

    I purchased this watch on sale. I like this one better than my MK because the Fossil doesn’t fall off on a whim like MK. The hinges are fixed. The battery can go for 1 day and the many faces gives variety.

    If you are looking for a smartwatch that does a lot and does not look so bulky this is something you should look at.

    I was never a fan of smart watches until I saw the Fossil watched. They look great and have a real jewelry feel to them. Does all the cool stuff I wanted it to. Not the most accurate activity tracker though. And also not the best compatibility with iOS. If you have iPhone just get an Apple Watch

    Bought this for my wife. She had asked for a more expensive smart watch but after doing her research chose this one and she has never been disappointed with that choice. It looks great and works beautifully. She absolutely loves it.

    I chose this watch because of both the feature set as well as the size and look. I wanted a watch that was a capable smart watch but didn't look like a giant box on my wrist. The watch face itself is only slightly larger than my Timex weekender that I have been wearing for years it is also thicker but overall the transition has gone smoothly. The watch looks nice and most people don't even realize I am wearing a smartwatch. The only thing I wish was better is the responsiveness of the screen there are times when I try to switch to the settings menu or change the face and it is slow to respond or doesn't at all. But for my first true smartwatch I am very pleased.

    I bought this for my girlfriend and she loves it! The only downside is that you have to take it to a jeweler to get it sized. Do not try to take the pins out unless you know how to size a watch.

    This was a gift for my husband that I thought he would enjoy as he is always on the phone for work. It's safe to say that he likes it. It's compatible with both iPhone and Samsung phones and he can switch between the two. He gets all his notifications, plus it tracks his steps throughout the day. The only downfall is the battery life. Seems like he keeps charging it every 10 hrs.
