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.

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 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.
