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

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

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 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.

This watch gets cooler as you play with it!
Rating: 5
I had my eye on this watch since it came out but just recently pulled the trigger. I love the paperwhite background and how it displays messages. I also like how you can customize the display buttons. I was pumped when I found out that you can change the background! Then I realized that if you hold down the top button, the display bubbles disappear which is super neat. I was a little annoyed that I couldn't set one of the side buttons as a "find my phone" option, but just hold down the middle button and there it is, among other things!

Awesome! Fantastic! Better than I imagined.
Rating: 5
You can turn off notifications and your alarms will still come through. There is a do not disturb that you can turn on and off on the watch. I love it! It's perfect. I get tons of alerts so I think the battery lasts maybe a week, but it totally out do's my apple watch. So happy with this purchase. Now I can see my sleep patterns. It helps me understand how the weather will effect my sleep.

So happy with this watch
Rating: 5
I wanted a watch that had a clock hand face but all the features of a smart watch. Fossil nailed it. This watch is so pretty and professional. I don't have any issues getting iMessages, so unsure if they fixed the software. It's super easy to change out the bands. Love this watch.

Screams "me"
Rating: 5
I love this watch so far. It has everything I need and nothing I don't. It has the look of an analog watch which I sorely missed with my old smart watch. It sends me notifications (spotty on the phone calls and texts) but I rarely am without my phone so it isn't a huge deal to me. This watch just screams my personality though and I think I tell my husband every day.

Keeps me from checking my phone, because of the minimal settings and display. Much for effective at work. Have emergency numbers And work set so I don't miss a call or text! Works okay with Apple phone, but connectivity from a distance could be better.

I'm so happy I found this beautiful watch!
Rating: 4
I recently purchased and returned a Samsung Active 2 watch. My issues with it - the battery would only last one day if you used the watch for anything other than just telling time. I also struggled to find a face that was pretty and looked like a real watch. I want to be able to look at my wrist and know what time it is without pushing any buttons. I love analog watches because they give more of a feeling of minutes as portions of hours - if you know what I mean. I was excited when I found that fossil made a smart watch with a real analog face. The reviews were good so I decided to give it a try. I'm glad I did. My favorite thing about this watch is that it is beautiful. I love the rose gold analog minimalist face. The paper white screen is lovely - making the watch more beautiful with the right background image. It looks like a beautiful watch instead of a smart watch. Sure it doesn't have nearly as many functions as the Samsung Active 2, but who really needs a calculator in a watch? You're never going to use that. This watch tracks my sleep, heart rate, steps, and other exercise functions. It tells me when I have a call and who's calling. It tells me when I have a text and lets me read it. I can decide then whether to get my phone out and answer the text or call. I am a RN and I can't be looking at my phone every time it alerts. It lets me control my music. It tells me what the weather is like. Another feature I like is the commute time. I use it on my way to work to see if I'm running on late or do I have time to stop for coffee? It's a lot easier and safer than using google maps. I haven't charged my watch for 10 days now and I still haven't gotten a low battery notification. With few exceptions it does everything a smart watch needs to do without all the noise of useless apps. My only complaint and the reason I took away one star - it has quick responses for missed telephone calls but they don't work on messenger.

Once I got the hang of it...
Rating: 4
I received this product on a Tuesday evening and had no real issues setting it up, but learning how to do things (turn on the light, receive notifications, understand the apps involved, etc.) was extremely frustrating. No instructions, and the FAQs on the site are NOT helpful AT ALL (I'm old but not THAT old, I'm pretty techie actually). I did not receive any notifications for texts or phone calls no matter what I did. But, by the morning everything was in working order and I started to love the watch. I've had it 6 days and it's only glitched on me once when the weather was not showing so I rebooted my phone and it fixed it. I now LOVE this watch - it looks great, and I don't miss my Apple Watch at all. If you want some of the features of a smartwatch and want your wrist to look different from everyone else's, this is a great answer to that. I have had an Apple Watch for 3+ years (Gen 1 so maybe there are even more bells and whistles) and I rarely used the really cool bells and whistles like paying for things, or answering my texts - I'm a lefty but wear my watch on my left hand so trying to scribble the reply was awful and time consuming. I found myself only using my watch to tell time, track my steps/activity, see what the weather was, and track my heart rate. This watch takes care of all of it! I gave it 4 stars because of the frustrating set up only. Please consider including instructions or making the app for set up a bit more intuitive. Other than that I love it!!!

Don't buy this model! Strap failure, features missing
Rating: 1
I was so excited to get a sleek smartwatch, but was then incredibly disappointed. I purchased this model with the silicone strap, and two extra leather straps for other occasions. The silicone was by far the most comfortable. The leather straps very quickly cracked and showed wear from the buckle. I got the watch on April 24, 2020, and on May 25, 2020, the silicone strap ripped at the seam where the outer pink and inner gray meet. I've been working from home due to the COVID pandemic. This has gotten less than normal wear and tear. When I contacted Fossil, I was told straps are not covered under warranty. And spoiler alert: you CAN'T BUY THAT COLOR STRAP BY ITSELF. Very disappointing. The watch also DOES NOT have the "take a picture" function that every other Fossil smart watch has. Even my husbands 4 year old hybrid watch that is a genuine crystal movement (no display) has this feature. The back and forth I had with tech support on this issue was also disappointing. After telling them multiple times which model I had purchased, they still seemed to not understand the features of their own product. They were trying to direct me to menus that don't exist for my watch, etc. Maybe if you wanted to turn this into a pocket watch it would work, but as something that you want to wear on your wrist? Not worth it.
