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

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.

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!
Rating: 4
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.
