Style:
This is my favorite aspect of this watch and is the primary reason I chose it instead of any other model, particularly the Apple Watch. I was initially worried it would be too large for my average-sized wrist and in comparison to the standard-sized female watch I had been wearing. I've quickly gotten used to the size and actually feel weird with something smaller now.
Features:
I'm pairing the watch with an iPhone 6 so I knew not to expect the full range of features, however, I must say that I am a little disappointed in some of the missing features that don't seem to make sense such as why you can't get extra watch faces unless you have an Android device and why you can do certain things with Google mail (archive, delete) but not others (mark as read) as well as why you can respond to emails but not text messages.
I also wish that it would render images since if you get an HTML email the vast majority of it is unreadable on the watch even though the face is plenty large enough to support this functionality.
Being able to control music including apps like Spotify is pretty cool though I wish it would let me answer my phone while it's connected to other Bluetooth devices like my car.
Function:
I find that the watch keeps its pairing with my phone about 90% of the time. Most of the time it pairs right back or pairs back quickly after I tap the re-pair button on the watch face. Every now and then it takes a bit more work. One thing that's frustrating is that there are really no in-between remedies if something happens and your phone "forgets" your watch, you have to re-pair it with the app and the only way to do that is to remove it first which removes all of your settings and customizations and you have to re-do them since there is no way to truly save a profile to your "account" and restore it.
I also feel like the vibration could be a little harder, also it's not an adjustable value which seems odd. A lot of times I miss it even though it's pretty tight on my wrist (after removing 3 links).
There seems to be a little bit of competition between my car and my watch for the Bluetooth connection to my phone particularly when I'm leaving the range of wi-fi. I'm not sure if this is the nature of these technologies but I can say that it started to become noticeable only after I got the watch.
Overall most of the missed "opportunities" could likely be fixed through firmware updates to the Android Wear OS on the watch. Here's to hoping that they're coming soon.

My wife picked this out because of the aesthetics and was tired of her fit bits breaking. This watch does almost everything the fit bit does and far far more.

The watch looks nice. I didn't like that I had to buy the apps for it but it but it was only 10. I wish the battery would last longer though but overall it's ok

Even though I thought the face of the watch was a little too big for my arm, I liked it after I had a few links taken out. However, I don't like the face of the watch does not have a lock so that it won't continuously shift during wearing it. Maybe I just haven't found that option yet to stop it from doing that. Other than that, I love it.

Bought this for my wife. It is good and stylish smart watch. The only drawback is that my wife phone is an iPhone so some functionality does not work well with iPhone.

Got it for my wife and she loves it. It is a little bulky for a small wrist but otherwise very nice looking. She especially likes the ability to answer calls on the watch and talk without having to dig out her phone.

I purchased this item for Christmas for my dad. I wish that you could use the watch like your cell phone, but it only show when someone is calling and when you missed a call.

Never been attracted to smartwatches until a friend texted me through one. Didn't realized that fossil brand it's run by android and was skeptical because I own an iPhone and wasn't sure about the compatibility but I love the variety of styles. The app needs improvement. I wish I could track my fitness progress efficiently because it was the main reason I had purchased it to replace my Fitbit (which was given by an ex) and be able to respond to texts. I guess I have to wait 3 years until I switch to android...
