Update from Versa to Versa 2
Rating: 5
This is my second Fitbit. As a heart patient it is nice to see that this Fitbit seems to be a little more sensitive to my heart rate, comparing it with a polar chest wrap. Very easy set up and a great app that goes along with it!! Great value when compared to an Apple iWatch or a Garmin

((Thumbs up))

Very comfortable, it was my first purchase of any fitbit and love everything it tracks. Setup was a little diificult for me, but I feel its because I was not familiar with the set up and app. I have no issues with it connecting to my phone and registering the alerts from my apps or messages / calls...`

I LOVE THIS WATCH!
Rating: 5
Fair price and quick shipping Great watch! I did a lot of research before buying this watch. I had a Fitbit for years, so I wanted to upgrade to a watch that had more capabilities. This watch it's fantastic, if you want a watch that truly tracks your steps, heart rate, calories burned, get up and mover reminder, you can program it for a number of workout activities, helps monitor your diet and health, and has perks as well! So many ways to customize this watch to fit your everyday needs, news app, weather, Spotify, etc! I know most people want an Apple Watch, but this watch is way more realistic to actual life needs! It's lightweight, not too big or bulky! Very sleek look! I recommend this watch to my son, and he loves it as well! I would recommend this watch to anyone!

Good watch but poor quality
Rating: 1
I bought this in Nov 19 . It is a very nice looking watch with lot of good features. I absolutely loved it but the build quality of $200 watch is poor. I used it almost daily but very moderately. Last week, within 7 months or purchase, the glue holding the face of the watch broke off and now the watch is unusable. I am totally disappointed with this. I will not recommend this watch

Didnt live up to my expectation
Rating: 1
Got it for the purpose of being able to see my texts/calls and it managed to get every notification other than those two. Isnt an awful product it did everything else correctly, but I got it for one main purpose and it didnt deliver so theres no point in keeping it.

I will definitely be a Fossil customer for life!
Rating: 5
I have had this watch about a week now. I could not be happier with it. It is very easy to use and paired reasonably easy with my Stylo 6 phone. I have had a time or two where it dropped the Bluetooth connection to my phone but reconnected again in a short time. The watch has a very good quality build to it, and a good wright. My only grip is it can be a little hard to see in the direct sunlight. I was able to get a link taken out of the watch band easily to get a proper fit. The wear OS is very good, it has improved a lot since very 1.0 and I hope Google keeps updating it. It has the potential to be the best smartwatch platform out there. Over all this is a premium feel watch with a lot of options. I highly recommend it to anyone in the search for a really good smartwatch.

My First smart watch, and well worth it. Very Happy!
Rating: 5
I had been jealous of my wife's Apple watch, and since I use an Android phone, did a bit of research on smart watches that would work with my phone. I quickly decided I wanted one using the Wear OS. Several reviews pointed me to one of three watches, and since I wanted to answer the phone (like my wife can 🙂 ) The Fossil Gen 5 was the best fit. I saw that this version of the Gen 5 watches was on sale, and liking the style, I took the plunge. I am glad I did! I love it. I am still learning how to use it to its full capability, and with my fat fingers, I am learning to use the voice input, which is working remarkably well. One issue I have found, was that if I lean on my hands, I can inadvertently push and hold the stem in, and that turns the watch off. Took me a while to realize what was happening. Now I can pretty much avoid it..

Would buy the stainless steel one too.
Rating: 4
It has a good design. Received many compliments on the look. Even changed the links to leather straps for different styles. Battery life is decent but tinker with it. You can respond to text messages. Like the music controller while hooked up to Bluetooth speaker.
by Layman on 2020-07-20T17:00:00

Functional but should have researched it better.
Rating: 4
I bought it mainly to keep track of my heart rate and to keep me off of my phone. Dislikes: having to keep the Wear OS app always open on my phone. There have been a couple of times I have taken it off of the battery (charged nightly) and it's immediately dropped from 100% to 99% before it's even on my wrist. Likes: looks like a watch and not like I am an honorary Spy Kid. It's quite slow sometimes but effective at the things I use it for, heart rate, timers and the actual telling of time.

Great Looking Watch
Rating: 4
2 weeks of ownership and am pleased with my purchase, Great Looking Watch. My only criticism is that in order to get through a work day I have to turn almost all features off for the Battery to last. Not much point in having a SMARTWATCH if You Can't use the FEATURES. BUT IT LOOKS GOOD.

Are we sure this is swimproof because speaker is making weird sound after I went swimming wearing this watch .

SPEAKER ISSUE
Rating: 3
All Gen 5 Fossil Garrett style watches have a speaker problem. Serious design flaw. Speaker sounds muffled resetting the watch turning Bluetooth off and on remedies this for about a day. Then it's permanently muffled and terrible sound quality. So disappointed in such a brand name having this level of sophistication failing to button up a main feature of the Gen 5 watches. The lack of bands for the Champagne color Garret G5 is also a let down. Yes you can get Gold tone but be warned the ACTUAL color of the Garret G5 is Champagne.
