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.

Exactly what i was waiting for
Rating: 5
i owned galaxy watch and i loved it except it was little too heavy. also, i do not like fitness type watches, so i was literally waiting for watch3. super light, works well with bixby, samsung pay, and a lot of customization you can do. i always wear watch to track my sleep, and it didnt bother me at all. at last, watch trade-in was really good promotion!

Familiar but lighter
Rating: 5
i'm happy with this. it's the best upgrade from my gear s3 frontier. feels the same but lighter in weight. only drawback is the strap cause it felt a bit cheap. i got myself a silicone strap for it later on.

Perfect
Rating: 5
i got this as a replacement for the 41mm size, which was too small. the bezel on the 45mm actually seems shorter than in the 41mm! it's easy to use (both the bezel and the touch screen). the battery life is superb. the screen is beautiful. and since i had a trade in (active 2 - no bezel - good riddance), the price was great, too.

Gr8 watch, superb gizmo,fitness kit not 4 every1
Rating: 5
this is as beautiful and functional watch, phone, info pod, music player, gadget, companion and alarm as you could want, worth every cent. the learning curve is minimal if you can find your way around a smartphone. but the fitness stuff, which is touted as the centerpiece of this timepiece's acumen is just for gym rats or runners and such. i garden, walk dogs, putter around the house, dance now and then and the watch's workout detection for my everyday regimen is quite confused and almost useless. for everything else it does, and there's a lot of it and the sheer snazz of it, i love it. i'd give it a 4.7 but you can only rate in whole numbers.

Great integration with smartphone
Rating: 5
this watch seamlessly integrates with my s20 ultra and i love how i can receive notifications from all my apps on the watch. i get about 2 days worth of battery life with normal use and the always-on display turned off. best surprise so far is being able to connect to my ultra's camera and see it on my watch face and take pictures!

Great watch - so so battery life.
Rating: 4
Upgraded to the Galaxy Watch 3 from the original Galaxy Watch. Love the larger screen. Love that it's slightly slimmer. Love the new sensors, including Blood Pressure Monitoring (Not officially activated in the US yet, but there are workarounds available). Only complaint is that I'm not thrilled with the battery life. Still easily get a full days worth of use even with sleep tracking, but nowhere near the life compared to the Original Galaxy Watch which could push 3 days.

Best looking watch on the market.
Rating: 3
the design is flawless and the rotating bezel is infinitely better then the touch one on the active 2. i am used to the subpar battery life when compared to let's say a versa 2, so i don't really fault it much because the tech and os is muchhhh better then fitbit. i can't excuse away the slow charging however. it is brutally slow and for this amount of money it is inexcusable.

Just Ok
Rating: 3
i regret upgrading from the galaxy watch as there is nothing worth the expense for this watch. the extra stuff they mentioned like the workout, sleep, etc., not that great. the other watch i had was better in doing my every hour stretch reminder this one is weird, it's a hit or miss. the few things i love about this watch are the lightness and also the look on the screen. bigger and aesthetically more pleasing. battery is fine as well, get two days or so. i don't think it is worth it and when i trade in i realized i should have kept my watch.

Original still better. Not worth hefty price tag. Key features not enabled. Walmart customer service is the worst!!!

Disappointing new design and Wear App
Rating: 1
the protruding watch buttons on the right side is poor design if you want to wear the watch for road biking and during circuit training with weights and especially push-up. my s3 is much better with recessed buttons. i am returning it until they learn to get feedback from actual athletic customers. also, what's wrong with their app design, why does it have to combine the watch and phone steps? i want to be able to just use the phone or watch, not the cumulative, which could be double sometimes or 70% to 30% and the 30% is probably already in the 70% of the number shown. makes no sense at all, separate them out. don't buy this if you are going to use if for active life, go with fitbit or some other device
