Good stuff
Rating: 5
I love this watch so far. I've had it for a week and the only complaint I would have is battery life, but I'm currently in the desert where it's really hot so pretty sure that's why. Love the look! I'm a woman and i have big wrists so I got this watch and it's perfect. LOVE the music controls, texting from the watch, the fact that the band isn't all leather it's rubber on the bottom, and all the different faces that you can choose. 10/10 would recommend

Best Looking Smartwatch
Rating: 4
I give four stars because I wish the battery life was a little longer (48- 50 ) hours This is easily the best looking smartwatch on the market. I have been getting compliments all the time for this watch. What I Iike most about this watch is that the bands are interchangeable, so if you wanted to get a watch with the leather strap and eventually buy the stainless steel band you could. I get about 35 hours battery with gesture screen on enabled.Depicted I have had the watch unplugged for about 18 hours with moderate use and its at about 48 percent.

Solid Choice
Rating: 4
Very visually appealing watch. High quality materials. Battery life definitely lasts a whole day if you remember to hit the screen off button when you won't need it.

Battery life should be MORE!!

Overall it is good but what irritates is its battery life.

A Step up but also a step back...
Rating: 4
I had gen 1 Q Marshal and loved it! It was not my choice to upgrade but I seem slowly getting used to gen 4. I just wish someone could please upgrade Message+ to be useful with this watch... I am also not happy that I have to get another charger for travel abs thst the faces do not seem to fit the larger dial... but, oh well!!

Somewhat disappointed, but will try again
Rating: 3
The overall look of the watch is fantastic, I love it! I switched to this one from the LG Watch Sport - Fossil is just more my style. I haven't had any performance issues whatsoever, and the battery gets me through my ten hour work days with 20% (give or take) to spare. I don't mind charging it nightly alongside my phone...I've just always viewed this as one of those things that comes with owning a smartwatch. Sadly, after three weeks of use the back is coming off of the watch and I'm not entirely sure why. There appears to be no glue that could have melted away, and there's just one tiny pin that looks like it should snap into place but it doesn't. I contacted Fossil directly, and while they offered to set up free repairs, I am opting to return and then place a new order due to the turnaround time being much quicker. I like this watch so much that I'm willing to give it another try - here's hoping the new one works out and I can update my review!

The back came off!
Rating: 3
This watch was a Christmas gift, and here we are in June (only 6 months later) and when I grabbed my watch off the charger, the back stayed connected to the charger. It's not like I beat this watch, or wear it while doing physical outdoor activities. I take very good care not to do anything to damage it. Very disappointed in this defect, because I loved all the other features, and the most recent updates.

Very bad wifi connection
Rating: 2
I have had three generations of this watch.Every one of them has been extremely hard to connect to my wifi. I have 8 other devices that hookup to my wifi with ease. This watch says it connects(saves) and then loses connection or does not get at all. If updates are wanted, you can forget them with this phone...

I returned it and bought a Gen 3 instead
Rating: 2
Love the look of this watch, but was extremely disappointed to find out it doesn't have a speaker, so I can't take phone calls from my watch (and have the audio play from the watch). This was a dealbreaker because that's really the most important thing for me. I learned the previous model (Gen 3) did have a speaker! And the only trade-offs are that the Gen 3 is not waterproof and doesn't have a heart rate sensor, but I don't really care about the fitness features, so I returned the Gen 4 and bought a Gen 3. Both do fine on battery life. The Gen 4 seemed to be a little laggy at times, slow to turn on watch face when I would lift/shake my wrist. The Gen 3 actually seems slightly more responsive/quicker (contrary to what I would have expected for buying an older version).

Poor quality

The back case of the watch came out due to over heating during charging with a week.
