The first android smartwatch worth buying
Rating: 5
For me a smartwatch first has to be a watch I want to wear. I think all the android smartwatches until now have been too bulky for my taste. This smartwatch looks great on the arm, it also functions great too. Android wear is pretty well sorted out and the controls on this hardware are adequate. The battery life is not as good as other offerings but if you charge every night, and don't use the tilt to turn display, it's a non issue. I am excited to see the 5th gen, if all they did was give the battery life a serious boost and add a rotating bezel, I would be first in line.

One of the best for wear 2.0
Rating: 5
This is a great watch and I have absolutely enjoyed wearing it. There are many pros and over the course of using it I have only one con. Pros: Improved battery- I keep wrist gestures on and brightness all the way up and the watch will last all day with about 15 percent left. Beautiful screen--vivid and sharp/picture backgrounds look great Messaging- replying is a breeze and looks more discrete than pulling out your phone. *customizable dials*- by far the best feature. I can choose what information is displaying on my watch at any moment. Con- No external speaker- the only bad thing is you can not complete calls with only the watch. The watch has a mic but no speaker and so if you make a call your phone will do the work but if you have headphones it can still make things easier when your busy.

Very nice smartwatch
Rating: 5
Very good, lightweighted. Fast charge but battery use up quite fast also. Excellent watch. I like the watch faces and NFC payment.

I would definitely buy this again
Rating: 5
So far it's been amazing and really easy to learn how to use, wish the battery lasted a bit longer, my days are pretty long here lately.

I love the watch!
Rating: 5
I use mine pretty much all day and use it a fair amount. I really don't see why people complain about the battery life. The watch looks really fashionable and works great.

GEN 4 SMARTWATCH EXPLORIST HR BLUE / TAN LEATHER
Rating: 4
First time Fossil watch buyer of any kind. Overall aesthetics is great. Love the color combo. It took awhile to get delivered due to the COVID19 pandemic. I'm able to use my watch for a full 8 hrs. and some. I turned off the "Tilt to Wake" & "Always ON Screen" I either tap the screen or press the crown to wake up the watch. Not a big deal. Works for me and maybe not for others. Some people like to have the screen always on and it will definitely drain the battery. Pairing was easy and Setup was a breeze. So far so good. I've had it for 1 full week with no major hiccups. For the price I got it for, I can't complain too much.. I consider my purchase a good buy and we'll see how long this watch will last.

Good purchase based on price
Rating: 4
Wanted a smart watch for some time. Had to restore the original settings twice but think it's working great now. Purchased a watchface application that has made me almost fall in love with the watch. Had the watch band been made for woman's wrist, I would have given the watch rating of 5. Will need to buy a different band because it's not small enough for my wrist. Like the charger a lot!

I love the watch but battery life is not good
Rating: 4
I use mine for everyday useso I get better battery life. My wife uses hers for working out, kickboxing cardio. By the time the hour is over she only has 37% left. Not enough to make it to the end of the day. I'm thinking about returning hers but she really likes how the fuction work.

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.
