I got this as an early birthday gift. I absolutely love it! The band is awesome too! I also love that you can upload your photos for the watch face! It's not bulky and I just love the technology of it. Love...Love...Love it!!!

Love my new watch
Rating: 5
The customizable screens are great. Everything is at my finger tips. I bought is for the health features. Helps with keeping track of irregular or fast heart beats. Works with my food tracker and other health apps. The size is great and still fits my old Series 2 bands.

Love it!

One option I like, is when I get a phone call, I hear it ring from my wrist and I don't have to run for the phone or dig it out of my purse plus my I watch has many fitness options to encourage and track movements during the day.

Great watch at a good price.
Rating: 5
This was on sale for $50 off and I was glad to get it at that price. I upgraded from the first version of the Apple Watch and what an improvement in battery life and features (i.e waterproof and larger display).

Many features compared to series 1 that I replaced. Slim, lightweight and nice band. Battery life is very good.

Everything Works
Rating: 5
Works right out of the box as it should. I love the band too. It doesn't snag on anything. Battery keeps its charge about three days. I have yet to test it's waterproof abilities while swimming.

Exactly what I needed
Rating: 5
My doctor recommended I get something that would notify family if I were to fall. I also like that I call emergency services. I hope I never need to use those functions but since I am a double amputee, I know that I am at risk. This Iwatch4 has been great for me so far I highly recommend it

Can't believe how useful it is

Put off buying until series 4. Really awesome. Wish I'd gotten one earlier. fast delivery.

Great watch but broken screen in less than 1 week
Rating: 4
Absolutely love the size, fit, and features of this watch. Unfortunately after wearing it less then 4 days; with a screen protector, the screen is already shattered at the lower edge after lightly (i am not exaggerating) brushing it against my sink cabinet frame. I've had to pay the cost of the device to send it in for repair. ***i highly recommend buying Apple care and when mine is returned from Apple I will purchase it before wearing. Wish I'd have been prompted to buy it initially during purchase or watch set u.

Heart monitoring and fall detection need work
Rating: 4
Works very well with the exception of the heart monitoring and fall detection. Heart monitoring is normally fine but there are frequent readings that are aberrations, both high and low, that mess up analytics. Fall detection can be triggered by clapping hands and then resting hands at side for about 20 seconds. During workouts, it is difficult to mark a segment by double tapping on the watch face. Sometimes it works, other times it make take multiple attempts to mark the segment delaying the reading.

My wife loves it
Rating: 5
This product gives her everything she needs without loosing the fact that it is first and foremost a watch. She loves that she can customize her daily use and every watch face has a way to costumize it too. This was a great mothers day present. And she loved that it is big becauae she can see it easily without her glasses.

This is one sexy watch!
Rating: 5
I love this watch I wear it every day and I love the way it looks in comparison to my other Fossil Watches. I only wear Fossil watches Rather that be smart, hybrid, or analog because I love them so much. The silicone band is easy to clean. 10/10.

Beautiful Watch
Rating: 5
This is definitely the best Wear OS that's out right now. I love that this watch definitely looks like a watch. The watch is lightweight, runs very well, and comes loaded with lots of watchfaces. My favorite feature is the charging dock. No matter what way you plane it on the dock, the watch always charges.

Love it
Rating: 5
I love everything about this watch. How it looks. The functionality... such as heart rate monitoring, little speaker inside that channels my OK Google, the various watch faces, the quality of software, the ability to pay without pulling out my wallet or phone, the quality of screen,... It's all good.

Loks great and works great
Rating: 5
More storage and faster processor and faster memory than my Gen 4 Explorist. Apps load fast and smooth on this one. GPS is good. Messaging is faster than before. Not as heavy as past watch. One issue is if I hold my watch near my ear, it makes a tiny ticking noise, for no reason. must be interference in the speaker. Still not bad enough to get less than 5 stars to me. Yes I can use either watch on my android without having to set them up every time I switch.

Great Google's Wear OS watch!
Rating: 5
This is a great watch that can morph from a fitness tracker (with a silicon strap and digital face - for example, Essential Digital) to a fashionable time piece (with a leather strap - for example Cauwsai Crazy Horse Pattern Leather Watch Strap - and a classic face - for example, Minimal Dressy); see the photos. The straps are as easy to exchange as the faces. It integrates smoothly with my Pixel 4 XL and the Google-based tools, and the battery life is acceptable as it easily survives a whole day with some spare energy left for a longer evening. The charge is contact-based, but very convenient to use. I have not used any energy saving modes yet, since so far I did not have a need for them. I owned several fitness trackers (Fitbit, TomTom) and I have LG Watch Sport, and this is by far the best smart watch that can double as a fitness tracker (or the other ways around). It is also a fashion item, and I would argue that it looks better than Apple Watch or Fitbit Versa. Just for clarity, I have been a Mac user since I remember, and I used iPhones until I discovered Google Fi. I like Apple's design philosophy, and I believe that they would not shy away from Fossil Gen 5 if they made it.

Im really liking this watch i have a fitbit charge hr 2 before and wanted to find a watch it more features. pro: looks great charges fast has lots of customization was easy to sync with my pixel 3 cons: I can't get it to monitor my sleep (not sure if i need another app for that) 1 day battery life with all features on would like the band to have notches on the parts that hold down the band so it stay in place.

I would buy this again this time for my wife.

Love the features, it's comfortable I like how easy swapping out bands are and the options out there

Love the watch, Wish the battery life was better

Beautiful,fast and the most comfortable smartwatch I've ever had. My Huawei 2 had much better battery life. If you can find a software update to make the battery life better and it will be fantastic.

The glass could be better
Rating: 3
I love the look and design of the Carlyle. I upgraded from a Skagen Falster 2 simply for the processor and a larger face. I've had the Skagen for some time now and had no issues. On the second day with my Gen 5 I noticed a damaged screen. I have a desk job and am not the most active. I've no clue what could have done it, but I would have imagined this latest watch would be more durable. Currently looking for repair solutions that won't cost more than the watch.
