Pros-I can read all my msgs phone my watch, control music, play games, check google maps, ask google assistant, sync and access calendar and events, fitness tracking, check the weather, flashlight, alarm, timer, stopwatch, google translate, there is google store on the watch so you can download directly from play store to your watch.
You can change straps and it is very easy.
The touchscreen is easy, typing is not as tough as expected.
Highly customizable settings.
Battery lasts from 7 AM to 8 PM for me.
it has 4GB memory. but most of the cool apps don't support iPhone users.
Cons - If you have an iPhone, you can't answer/make calls or reply to emails/msgs. You will only receive notifications.
Most of the popular apps are not supported by this watch.
If you have two watches like I do - I need to do a factory reset in watch and delete the android wear and app, reinstall it and start from the beginning to connect to second watch and later same process to reconnect to the first watch. I really love both the watches so unable to return any. If you have so much patience then only buy two.
Baseline - Have only one fossil smartwatch and Android User will have more features than iPhone. I love whatever it has to offer so far :)

I Love this watch! I wasn't sure if it would meet my expectations, it has surpassed them. LOVE this watch. People compliment me on it daily. I'm such a nerd, I got so excited over the 2.0 update. Love it more now!

I have been watching this watch for months now. I refused ti pay over $200. When I noticed it was on sale for Black Friday, I actually keep an eye on it. It went down to $127. I like this watch aloft. One problem I don't like it that I can't link my other emails to the phone. Only my gmail. But the watch itself is nice. I don't like the echoing either. Fossil did an OK job. I was expecting more. But it still was a good buy.

I loved everything about this watch including the style! However, limitations on not being able to reply to texts... due to having an iPhone... turned me off and I ultimately returned the watch. I wish I had an android and I would have LOVED the watch!

I love this watch...i really like the round style, however it could be a little thinner. Still a great watch with tons of feature. I bought another as a gift for my mother, who also fell in love with it.

Fossil makes a very stylish line of watches, interchangeable,making it fun and easy. Multiple face features and other personalizations. This watch includes smart phone linking ability, making it easy to skip and pause music, read texts, know you're receiving a phone call; all features i enjoy and was looking for. The only down side is the lack of compatible athletic/fitness apps. Now this is more of a fitness app problem rather than actual fossil or best buy, hence my high stars still. There is an option to track steps but not a system that will take the data and actually allow me to compare, possibly track my sleep etc.

I was hesitant to buy this because of the reviews about the short battery life but I get almost 3 days out of it depending on how much I use it. It works great and does all the things I want it to do. Fashionable and beautiful.

I bought this as a gift for my sister. She's loves it, especially the phone ping feature. The speaker for answering calls is also surprising clear. I didn't give five stars because she has had some issues with charging the watch. It seems to take hours to get a full charge. Hopefully the charger is not defective.

After reading many reviews, I decided to purchase the watch for myself. I choose this watch for several reasons. First it is a very pretty smartwatch. I have an Iphone and looked at the apple watches. I hate how boxy they look. This Fossil has the large round face which, for me, is more pleasing to my eye. The watch is easy to both see and read without my glasses on. Now then, I have read emails on it, but there is no way that I could return an email. I got the watch so that I can quickly and easily glimpse at who might be trying to reach me while I'm at work. I can decide if I need to respond right away or not. If there is an urgent call, I will feel it vibrate and be able to see who is calling. That is mainly why I got this. Of course it measures steps too. If you want more and you have an IPhone I guess you should go with the apple watch. For me, this fits the bill.

This is our fourth smart watch and it serves us well. Very stylish and durable with a large face. Good standard features and easy to set up. Good battery life. Only drawback is a very slow charge time. Fine if you charge it overnight.

I was hesitant to buy the watch because of its size and overall bulky look. I'm glad I purchased! I love the ease, functionality, and look of the watch. The android wear app used for the watch works easily and well with my Samsung phone. Watch has plenty of useful features and I like that it can work completely phone free over a wifi connection or while in Bluetooth range. I like that it has a speaker and microphone to answer calls, listen to music, get directions from Google maps, and use Google assistant. Battery life is amazing too compared to another smart watch I tried and returned. With moderate every day use I only charge it about every 2 days.
