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!

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!

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.

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.

Love it
Rating: 5
I had for over a year and its good and still love it. I have different bands to change out the look. love it more then other smartwatches it has that girly touch and looks like a normal circle watch vs other smartwatches. I have other apps to make it custom to my liking and change it around. I read people complaining about the battery but every night my phone and watch go on the charger, nothing to complain about just part of my daily routine. I love it and always looking for new bands to wear with it.

Best Smartwatch Yet.
Rating: 5
I've used Fitbit, and then another wearOS Smartwatch, and the Gen 5 Julianna far exceeds them both. The battery life is shorter than some, but that's not a deal breaker for me. I live the smaller size and decorative touches as well.

Nice gen 5

I like monitoring my blood pressure and watching how many steps I take on my watch. I haven't connected it with my phone yet but I like it so far.

I would buy it again
Rating: 5
I bought this watch for my daughter, because I have so many Fossil watches, and thought she would like it too, but she choose another brand. I'd would buy one for me because it's practical and easy to use, not heavy at all and like the style very much. So I do recommend this watch.

So far so good,
Rating: 4
Havent had any issues I'm still gettin to know the watch. I quickly bought wrist bands because of the reviews of how fast the original gets dirty so I havent worned mines. I went to the gym with it seems pretty accurate with the steps. It's only been about 2 weeks or so that I've had not much to say. Replies to messages well and hasnt gone dead on me just yet. Like it works a full day, I'm not on it all day and not many apps running as well.. 3 stars because no issues yet . I bought accessories so I wont destroy it. That's a clear protector on the face

Rating: 4
I love this watch. I got this to upgrade from my fossil hybrid. There is 1 main thing that this watch doesn't do that my hybrid did (and the reason I didn't rate 5 star). The fossil app for my hybrid kept up with my sleep but this gen 5 operates through Google and it doesn't have that and it's pretty disappointing. I would much rather have a Fossil app to go with this

Beautiful watch
Rating: 4
My only concern is that the leather strap is so pretty at first but it gets dirty and work downtown almost immediately.
by Away on 2019-12-14T16:00:00

Love the watch but 2 things...
Rating: 3
1. Battery length not as advertised, currently at 62% after wearing for 9 hours from fully charged. 2. Leather band already looks old after 1 week. I do not keep it on while cleaning or washing my hands. It just seems to absorb dirt. Otherwise, this is a great watch once you get it set up how you like.

I loved this watch, until it fell apart
Rating: 2
I love Fossil, I love so many of the products they produce! When they came out with the HR Smartwatch, I was so excited!! I had wanted a smartwatch that looked like a traditional watch with the circular face, not the square face. My husband bought this watch for my birthday November 22, 2018. I've had this watch for less than a year and suddenly it wouldn't charge or hold its battery life. I tried all the troubleshooting I could find and nothing worked. Then yesterday, while trying to charge the watch, as I pick it up from the charger the bottom side of my watch almost completely separated (see included photos). The seal is completely gone. I have taken very good care of this watch. You will see in the pictures that there is NO damage, at all, to any area or parts of my watch. I have never showered, swam or washed dishes while wearing the watch. I have no clue how this could have happened. I can't find the receipt to send my watch in to be fixed or else I would. I love this watch because it's fashionable and functional to workout with. I don't love that it falls apart when well taken care of. Buy at your own discretion, but keep your receipt incase the worst should happen.

I've l had my watch for 3 day and the band looks horrible. I wash my hands a lot and it got wet and looks like it about to start falling apart.
