Much faster than gen 4
Rating: 5
I've been wearing fossil smart watches for 1.5 years and a hybrid smart watch for 2 years before that. I really liked the gen 4 and it was a difficult choice actually upgrading. The 5 is so much faster than the 4, that alone os worth the upgrade. The screen is slightly smaller, which was a little bit of a let down, but the case is also not as tall on my wrist, which is awesome. Overall, after almost a month, I'm very happy with the size, it gets knocked accidentally much less. I was expecting more changes to the sleep screen with the new chipset, and I was expecting a revolutionary change for the battery, based on the presser for the 3100 i read. In reality, i suppose i get about 7 more hours, so i wear it while I'm sleeping right now (to monitor my heart rate for fun). The speaker, is....much more awesome than i thought it'd be. Over all, solid product. Fossil watches are just gorgeous and i get compliments on it alot.

Solid Smartwatch
Rating: 5
As an iPhone user, I was looking for an alternative to the Apple Watch (I don't really care for the square look). This is an excellent watch that looks and feels amazing! It does all of what I need it to, aside from sending text messages directly from the watch. Not really a that big of a deal. I was concerned about battery life, but I've been getting about a 1.5 days with regular use on extended mode (checking texts, Google Fit, Spotify, etc.) Using Spotify and Strava during a marathon, it died after 5.5 hours (I guess I just need to run faster next time ). The display is beautiful. The interface is smooth and quick. For my first smartwatch, I'm very impressed with all the features that it offers.

Gen 5 with double memory vs last year's is only way to go
Rating: 5
I own the Gen 4 venture and it was a great smart watch but you could definitely tell it didn't have enough memory. It would lag and be unresponsive frequently. Since upgrading to the Gen 5 the difference is amazing. Plus the option to answer a phone call on the watch is a cool feature to have included as well. The battery lasts me all day for what I do. Which is usually just checking the time and doing a 30 minute exercise. I usually go to bed with about 25 to 50% battery left. People who complain that it is not good on battery on the first day they own it need to make sure they run all the updates for the system and Google play. After the initial setup the battery will start to show it's true usage.

The best WearOS smartwatch
Rating: 4
This is my 3rd Fossil smartwatch (4th smartwatch in total) and it is the best one yet. I've only used this with Android phones but it works very well. The reason for only 4 stars and not 5 is for two reasons: First minor reason, I prefer the look of the Gen 3 watches but that's just personal preference. The main reason for dropping a star is that I have had this for only a few weeks now and the dark metal color is starting to wear off on the bottom side of the strap, I assume where it rubs on my desk at work (see image where you can see it wearing off the clasp and some of the links). Having previously only own stainless-steel colored bands, which is not available for this Gen, I don't know if this has been a common issue for previous years where the smoke color was available. But it is disappointing to having this issue on a quality product after such a short time.

After five different fossil watches in the past 18 months...
Rating: 1
I cannot recommend them any longer. The charging rings come loose on the back of the new models, just like the last generation . models as well. When the rings come loose, you can no longer charge the watch. I am on the third 5th generation watch. Fossil is kind enough to replace them under warranty...but not refund me. I would not buy a watch from Fossil. I wear mine for spin class, for work and around the house. Treat it gently, clean the back before charging it etc...and still, the rings come loose.

Band already has wear marks after a week
Rating: 1
Got this as a replacement to my earlier model that could not be repaired and constantly reset. Did not want this darker color for exactly the reason I rate it low. Smoke color has rubbed off the bottom within a week. Now it has shiny spots on it. Very disatisfied with the quality of the finish. Watch seems to function ok but definitely would not have bought it if I didn't have a credit from my previous Fossil smart watch that failed. Smoke color looks nice but is am epic fail for function
