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.

BEST battery life so far!!
Rating: 5
So I initially purchased the Gen4 because the Fossil Sport was sold out and was EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED with it. The only thing good about the Gen4 is the body; I'm in love with the black diamond stainless steel. Besides that, no. Glitchy and I had to charge it upwards of 3x a day! So when the Sport came back I immediately ordered it and decided to hold a contest of sorts to determine which one to keep. The Sport blew the Gen4 out of the water!!! *Battery really does last 24hrs *No glitching *Same features as the Gen4 including water proof I wore both watches at the same time, and what I did on one watch I did on the other. The Gen4 ended up dying on me 4 hours in (after sending texts, starting work outs, playing music on iHeart radio) the Sport lasted me all night until after I was home with continued use. No glitching and I'm sold. I sent the Gen4 back and I'm extremely happy with the Sport. I wish I got the pink onr but changing the band is super easy so whatever lol.

Beautiful & Lightweight
Rating: 5
I love this smartwatch. Before ordering, I was worried about the white nylon looking like a toy.. but after seeing it in person, I think the design is very elegant. The watch is beautiful and I love that its nice enough to wear to work and comfortable enough to wear at home. Its incredibly lightweight and feels very comfortable while exercising and throughout my day. Most of the time I forget that I have it on. I have a very small wrist size and the watch doesn't feel overly big. The software generally responds quickly, especially Google assistant. There have been a few lags here and there, but not often enough to bother me. The battery has been lasting me all day, with all-day heart rate monitoring on and tracking workouts. Good work Fossil!

I would buy this again in a heartbeat!

Reliable Wear OS Watch with good battery life.
Rating: 5
I bought this watch to use with my Google Pixel 3a XL after reading many Wear OS Watch rankings that say this is the watch for the money. After using it for a few weeks, I am pretty impressed overall. I mainly use it to help triage notifications so I don't have to continuously pull my phone out of my pocket throughout the day. The watch is easy to use, has a good battery life, and looks nice on the wrist. I have recommended picking one up to a few friends as well!

Cute & Comfy!

Love the look and fit! The band is very flexible and comfortable! I am a beach photographer in Galveston (#planitinkphotographygalveston), so comfort , style and being waterproof are important to me! I ordered one for my husband and now my daughter wants one! I've always loved Fossil brand. I only wish the battery life was a little better. But, all-in-all it's a great stylish watch!

Best wear is smartwatch but more rose gold than gold
Rating: 4
This is an amazing wear is watch. My only complaint is that the silicone grey watch is more rose gold than gold and if I knew that I would have gotten black instead.
by Backfire Fox on 2019-02-10T16:00:00

Kinda glitchy, battery life is just OK
Rating: 4
Overall, I like the watch and it fits well on my wrist. I did have to install a 3rd party app to get the notifications to work properly, and upon research, I noticed a lot of people have the same problem. Battery life is just OK... definitely need to recharge daily.

Pretty watch, bells and whistles don't work great
Rating: 3
I connected this watch to my iphone (or rather continually reconnect it throughout the day because it disconnects so often) and it works okay. It took a while for texts and calls to come through as notifications, but it randomly started working one day. Battery life is pretty good. I haven't tried to do very much on it, just use it for the time, an alarm clock, and for notifications from my phone. The watch is physically very attractive. It's a good size and the band is small enough to fit my little wrist. I like everything about it, just wish it worked better with iphones. I've read it works better with other phones.

Bad battery life
Rating: 2
The look and feel of this watch is good but has poor battery life. I workout a lot and the battery wouldn't even last for 8 hours. I have a small wrist. It couldn't detect my heart rate most of the times as the watch dint fit well around my wrist.

Loved it until it broke.
Rating: 1
I had one of the original smart watches by fossil, adored it. I wore it daily until the screen no longer worked....years. When I saw the price of the sport watch I couldn't pass it up! When I received it, it is much lighter due to being made of plastic. I wore it for a little over two weeks and really liked the function for the most part. Yesterday it slipped off my wrist and fell to concrete. The bracket that holds the band in place broke off. There is no repairing it. I'm trying to figure out if there is a warranty but this seems like something that absolutely should not happen on a watch. They should be designed for wear and tear and impact. After 2 weeks I have no watch. Horribly disappointed in the quality.
