    I have an iPhone and there are a few glitches when connected, but the price was a steal, so no worries. Also Battery lasts for two days max.

    Just purchased this recently after reading reviews that it is one of the best wear OS smart watched. So if you won an android phone, this would work great with it. Battery life not the greatest, but I usually don't wear it at night and leave on charger overnight and it lasts me the whole day, until I charge at night and its still about 20-30% left. Charges up very quickly though. Looks nice. I did not like the 41mm one because the band is thin. SO have the 43mm one. I would have prefferred a more sporty looking band, but this band is good and looks nice, and is comfortable.

    This watch is "ok". Nothing special. Pros: - It does its job. - Battery life is OK (1 - 1.5 days) - Synced with Android Phone (Samsung) ok. - Sharp modern look/feel - Extremely light weight Cons: - Uber App doesnt work due to a known bug, no one cares to fix it. Be it Fossil or Uber. - Faces are limted - Charger is proprietary. Not standard wireless charging. - Cannot get the Fossil App to work/sync - Google Play Store Apps seems very limited. - Extremely light weight Conclusion: I have both the Samsung Gear Frontier and Apple Watch. Fossil seems/feels far inferior on my day-to-day use. I would appraise/value this watch as a $50 watch, not $100 and not ever $297

    This is a very light watch. I love how minimal it is, but the battery forces me to charge it once a day with normal use & twice with added sleep tracking software. If you like Wear OS, this is a fantastic watch. It is also waterproof which is a big bonus.

    For a wear os watch its not bad but wear os is just too slow and battery consuming. The watch is light weight which is nice but the buttons stick out too far and can dig into your wrist. The screen is pretty small and the whole experience is just weighed down by android wear

    Worth 100$

    Is it worth a penny above 100? Nope. Is it a absolute steal for 100$ hell yeah it is. It's great for things like notifications, alarms, timers, etc. The battery life is good? Acceptable. I was surprised how well it works for things like changing Spotify tracks and a few other apps. It's a very handy piece of tech that I use daily. It's not good for fitness tracking, your better off buying a Fitbit, I own a Fitbit charge 2 and that's just better.

    Iv'e had this watch for a few weeks now and have been mostly enjoying my experience with it. It's a convenient way to check notifications quickly and get glanceable information. Wear OS, though has is fair share of problems, it's slow and stutters often, the predictive replies are always way off and voice replying is slow though accurate. In terms of fitness features it tracks things like running and walking just fine, it also does a good job of continuously tracking heart rate throughout the day and displaying it on a visually helpful chart on Google Fit. I hope that the software for this watch gets improved in the future.

    I was presently surprised with this watch. For $99 you can't go won't. I ended up purchasing a new band and it looks alot more sophisticated. I recommend going into developer mode and either reducing or stopping animation, becomes alot quicker.

    This watch was on sale for less than $100. Great value. I really enjoy the heart rate monitor. Once you sync it to the fit app it will keep a running history of your heart rate. I also like being able to send and receive texts from my watch. It's not ideal for long texts but nice to send short messages. I also like the step counter. It does a great job of keeping track of my activity for the day. It can also control your music from your phone if you have Bluetooth set up. The watch lasts about a day but you pretty much have to charge it every night or it will die the next day. It has a made where it just turns into a watch if you reach 15%. This extends the life so you can tell time but not much else. Overall I would say this is a good Wear OS watch for less than $100. I definitely wouldn't pay the full price of $300 for this watch. Oh one more thing. The watch can lag at times with the older processer.

    Everything is great about this watch, with exception of the battery. It's fast, snappy, and has mobile payment is a great addition. I bought it on sale as well so it was an even better deal. The battery will last a day but don't plan on a night out with the same charge on in the early morning. The battery saver mode is also great though and has multiple options including just having it as a regular watch.

    Watch has hard time connecting to phone and staying connected. Sometimes watch does not respond, just won't work. I shut it off for a few hours, so far that solves issue. Watch size is fine. Seems to be made well. Could use improved software to make it a better experience.

    Solid smartwatch so far

    I purchased to replace one of my previous smart watches that had broken. Didn't need anything fancy, just basic features such as heart rate and voice to text. So far the watch does everything I need. The only knock for me is battery life. I get about a day or less out of it. But not a big worry for me so far as I don't wear the watch 24/7. But overall a solid watch and comfortable.

    I had high hopes for this watch given that it runs Wear OS but was a bit disappointed that Wear OS is not as good as Samsung's watch OS, and also at times, it lags a bit to show info on the screen. Comfort-wise it's a pretty decent watch, even though the strap it came with was very flimsy. Having used Samsung's watches I feel like they are much better compared to Wear OS-based watches.

    Yes, this watch is worth $99, which is what I paid for it. I would have been disappointed if I had paid $100. Don't think I will ever buy another Fossil watch. If you buy it, good luck. It's not a great watch. It's not a terrible watch. It is barely a Smartwatch. If you purchase this "watch", be prepared for... 1. a sloooooow operating experience. 2. a depressing battery life. 3. moments wondering if it will ever start back up after the battery dies and you place it on the charger. Good things about it...hmmm...give me a minute...hmmm...it's not as ugly as the Apple watch. I bet the Apple watch would run laps around this "watch" with 90% of its processor burnt out. Best advice: Buy a Seiko.

    I bought this watch for my husband for is birthday mostly because it would allow him to get texts and reply to them. He loves the watch and has been playing around with it for the last couple of weeks. He did mention that the battery doesn't last as long as he would like, but it charges really quickly so it's no big deal. All in all a good smartwatch for the price.

    For the price this watch is a steal. The first day or two the battery life is terrible but it settled down and now I easily get through a 7am-11pm day with about 35-40% left. Every now and then you get a little lag but it isnt bad. I enjoy not having to use and look at my phone so much with getting notifications, weather, and fitness info right on my writst.

    This watch from the beginning started off bad. none of my gestures worked and when it did the whole watch would lock up and freeze. just getting the basics things started the watch would freeze up. i set a lock screen and couldn't even unlock my watch because of the lag from the watch and when it unlocked it'll lock itself back as if i put my wrist down very frustrating. I wish the battery life was good buts it a one day watch even with the battery saver mode on. Its hard to enjoy this watch when you can hardly use it this does not seem like a smart watch. too slow i rather have a galaxy wear... PLEASE GOOGLE FIX WEAR OS!!
