Awesome product

Great bang for the buck does everything it says it does even on iPhone. Battery life is still good it's still new though. Feels great not heavy comfortable

My first smartwatch. Took a little getting used to.
Rating: 5
I'm new to this tech. Read a bunch of reviews before I pulled the trigger and bought it. There was confusion in the beginning, but within s few days, it all cleared up. Fossil's customer service is excellent! I love my new smart watch! It does everything as advertised! And probably more, lol. I'm very satisfied.

Really great
Rating: 4
I love my watch i spend so much less time looking at my phone and unimportant notifications. It's daily comfortable and very easy to learn to use. There are only 2 things I wish where different. Ist is that the device came updated it took my a stagering 6 hrs to update to the latest update because it has to go through each update sequentially. The second is the placement of the holes on the wrist. 4 from the top close to the watch is too loose and 3 is too tight.

Really decent sports watch.
Rating: 4
Everything works pretty good and I've been loving the watch. First time buying a sports watch and it actually works. Only downfall in my opinion might be the battery life, to me it can die quickly.

Best Wear OS Watch available right now.
Rating: 4
Fossil did a great job with this watch, hopefull google will give Wear OS some love. Would be nice to manage the watch and setting s from the phone like Apple dose with their watch.

Great Hardware, Needs Timely Updates
Rating: 4
While I enjoy and would recommend this smartwatch, I'd like it to receive system updates a bit faster. For example, it's currently running Android 8.1.0 even though it recieved a security update on June 7th. If I remember correctly, version H of WearOS based on Android 9.0, has optimizations for this devices specific SoC (Snapdragon 3100). Those would be nice to have.

Lots of features and functionality in a great package.
Rating: 4
Love the fact that I have lots of choices as far as watch faces go. Keep in mind, some watch faces use more battery than others. Battery life is better if I keep WiFi turned off, and I can get more than a day if I only have Bluetooth and NFC running. All my notifications seem to come thru fine. The SPORT is a very comfortable and light watch to wear all day. The watch is also easy to pair and setup. I would definitely recommend this watch for Android users.

This is my third smartwatch - best one so far
Rating: 4
Great smartwatch - has the 3100 chip - one of the few that does. Nice and light, battery has 48% left every night. Looks good, works well. Nylon case is fine - not plastic-y as I feared, and silicone band is also quite nice - another pleasant surprise. Main complaint is every face it comes with is awful, but there are plenty of others out there to choose from, and I've found a few I love.

A+ on looks, C+ on function
Rating: 3
I use this watch primarily as an activity tracker. I love the way it looks, the customization features are awesome. Comfortable, versatile, etc. I'm not crazy about the Wear OS app / software. It's a little hard to navigate and response is delayed. I also have an iPhone, so that might be the root of my problems. The watch and app disconnect constantly. The "tilt to wake" function works sometimes, so I just have the screen on constantly (what good is a watch if you can't see what time it is?). Oh and the battery needs charged nightly. Overall, it's a nice watch for the cost and I'd probably buy another one as long as the above bugs were sorted out.

Slow, watch strap broke within months
Rating: 2
The UI navigation tends to be slow and it's not uncommon for it to not respond when selecting an app to open. The silicone watch strap tore through the hole my wrist fit to, so now it twirls around my wrist until I buy a new strap.

I love this!!!
Rating: 5
I love this watch! From the second I saw it I fell in love! It is affordable and beautiful! It was glitching at first but once it fully updated and got set up I haven't had any issues! It works with my Android with no issues. The wear os app had a few options for the watch face but I didn't really like them. I was able to download an app on my phone that gave me access to a lot more options!
by Ophelia on 2020-04-25T17:00:00

Yes I would buy again

Love this watch!
Rating: 5
I have went from having the Apple Watch series 1 for four years and have made the switch over to this watch. I love it. I was getting so tired of the Apple Watch and the bulky square design. It was a small screen as well especially compared to this watch. I love how big and round the screen is on this one and I love the touchscreen of it!! Definitely way better than the Apple Watch. It's much cuter and dressier for work now and looks so much better with my outfits!

Love this watch!
Rating: 5
I had went without wearing a watch for 5 years and decided I wanted to start wearing one again. After researching and reading numerous reviews, I decided on this one. So far, I've had no problems with it. I don't have a need to use apps from the watch throughout the day, so battery life has not been an issue for me. (I was concerned about this from other reviews). It is comfortable to wear and I love the magnetic band. Classy, comfortable, and practical for my needs!

I love my fossil smartwatch!! I got the gen 4 silver mesh band with magnetic closure. Has gold around the face. So matches both my wedding sets. Still learning about the watch. I've had it 2 1/2 weeks.

I like this watch. Elegant and accurate. Cons: slow processor and battery life

Falling apart...literally
Rating: 2
I love this watch! It's gorgeous, but that's where it stops. I bought it last November and it is already falling apart. I wear it maybe 2-3x per week maximum. The backing had become unglued. Prior to this, the screen was freezing and I would have to restart it which is very annoying. I sent it in for repairs, we'll see where that goes.

FELL APART AFTER JUST 30 DAYS OF MINIMAL USE
Rating: 1
Purchased it for my wife on 12/2/2019, the back of the watch (charging plate) fell right off after less than 30 days of use. And to add insult to injury, although it is covered under warranty, one has to "request" a repair quote delaying the process of getting the watched shipped, repaired, and returned. We shall see how long this process takes. I have been recommending Fossil smartwatches since their arrival in the US, 3 of the 4 smartwatches in my family are Fossil Smartwatches...that will soon change. I should have gotten her an iWatch!

I would not buy this product, customer service is horrible.
Rating: 1
I have waited to post this review to see if my issues had been resolved. From the first day I got the watch, it would not connect with my phone. I contacted customer care to see what could be done, first of all, all responses take 24 hours, I have done a factory reset on my watch no less than 10 times. This has been a very frustrating process, now, they want me to send back my new watch for repair.
by jidaho on 2019-11-18T16:00:00

I would not buy this product and future generations
Rating: 1
Overall the apps and their connectivity is perfect. I enjoy how seamless was to connect my clock with the phone and the app and view my data. The hardware here is the problem. Who uses glue for a sport clock?? My clock fell apart in less than a year and I have been using it for 5 months everyday. They should not use glue for a clock that is supposed to be sport and that you can use to swim.
