Replacement from a Gen 3
I love this one but then I did upgrade from a 3 to a 6. I love that I can answer or hang up a call (as long as I am near my phone). The color is pretty. It is definitely louder then my last one. The only thing I don't like is if I bend my wrist to much my hand pushes on the side button. But over all I love it.
Impressed
I really like this watch! I had the Michael Kors Sofie for years and loved it but the battery life was not making it all thru the day.
This Fossil is just like the MK watch. The battery life lasts all day long. Its very good looking, comfortable and easy to use.
I also bought the MK mkgo 5e watch but quickly returned it bc I liked the Fossil so much more!
Better than Apple Watch
I had an Apple Watch for years. I’d always get the newest one out there. However when my last Apple Watch broke just by hitting carpet I knew the quality was no longer there. So I got this watch as a replacement and I absolutely love it more than my Apple Watch. It connects to my iPhone and is way more stylish than the Apple Watch. I get so many compliments on it.
Stylish & convenient
After researching a few different smartwatches, I am really glad that I landed on this Fossil watch with Wear OS. As someone who currently doesn't have a big name phone (no Galaxy or Apple), nor did I want to have to pay a subscription fee to unlock my smart watch's full capabilities (FitBit...), I was glad to find that Wear OS was what I needed. The Fossil brand is reputable and as far as this watch goes, it has been durable AND pretty. The band is like a lilac color. The stones around the face watch give a nice glimmer/shine in the light, which is a nice touch.
The watch's capabilities have everything I wanted: Google pay (SO, SO NICE to have to tap to pay!!) talk to text, notifications routed to watch, sleep tracker, step counter, and even a blood oxygen monitor which is nice in these pandemic times.
A few other things that have been nice to have: taking phone calls on my watch(!!!), timer capabilities, calendar/agenda.
I found in my research that a lot of smart watches focus on step counting, heart rate stuff and health which is nice but I was looking for details on functionality beyond that like responding to text messages, paying with my watch and maybe listening to music (this watch currently only supports spotify so I can't say how good or bad it is as I use another service and haven't yet tried spotify). This watch checks all those boxes. I love that when I'm working, i can quickly and discreetly respond to messages or swipe away calls. If i want to leave my wallet behind, i can tap to pay qithout dragging my phone out. The Wear OS app has a few different watch faces and helps you set the watch up to your liking. I'm pretty happy with that. The battery life has been great--able to wear and use all day and still have about 30% left by the end of the day. Not bad!
The only thing I would change is the ability to access text messages. As far as I can see you can only respond when you get a new one in, and can't start one. There is so much going on with this watch, I am sure I just missed it somehow!
This says it will support ALEXA but as of this review it hasn't rolled out yet. Still great without it.
The buttons on the side are a little bulky and get caught on things now and then. However, I really like using them as shortcuts! It has helped. The face watch is definitely big enough to swipe with no issues. And it's circular face still allows for plenty of screen.
This is getting long but it is a really cool, high functioning watch. It doesn't clash with my everyday clothes and has looked great on my wrist.
Love it
Best purchase I bought. I had a fossil watch before but over the years of having it, it wear and teared and I need another one and came across this watch and I gotta say I love it wonderful. I never had a watch that tracks my sleep and blood oxygen.
Stylish
I had the Fossil gen 5 and wanted an upgrade, this one did not disappoint. The face is slightly larger than my old one and thought it may be too much but it works!! Love the design and all the features.
So big
The watch is good. So far send to be working with the Android phone. We got this as a present for my mother in law. The down side is it is so huge and find something to try in take the kinks out was a fun game of its own.
Works well.
The band is super comfortable. It works well and looks nice. I only drooped a star because it scratches very easily (buy the protection cover) and also I have worn it 10 times and a diamond fell out. Next one I will not choose the diamonds. But it works great, I used it on my child when she was sick to monitor her. Though it is not intended for that I definitely used it with my schooling to watch her vitals. It charges and snaps onto the charger easy.
Beautiful watch
I liked this watch. It was beautiful. There was no way to see a report on the app. I needed a watch with good battery life and this wasn't it. The band irritated my wrist and one of the rhinestones came out. I can't imagine if I would of kept it how many more would of came out. The watch was way too expensive to not fit my needs.
Love it
I love the smart watch but the color rose gold was slightly disappointing when it arrived it looked more like gold instead but it had a little rose in it. The design is nice though and everything works great. The battery life is not great . The watch doesn't last a whole day for me maybe like half and depending on what all you have turned on life heart monitor, steps, apps, o2, etc the more it drains. When it's charging it gets hot which could be a fire hazard so I always want to be around it when it charges. It charges pretty fast so that's nice . This is my first smart watch . The band on the watch was kinda hard to adjust. It was either too tight or a little loose but you can order a plastic one if you plan to wear it daily or have a physical job. I bought screen protectors because the face scratches easily too. I use the nice band that comes with it because that's why I bought it for the nice design but if I do anything I have to take it off. I'm not sure how long it will last because I have not had it that long yet but I'm trying to be very careful so we will see. I also don't wear it everyday maybe a couple times a week because of working with my hands alot. I would recommend it so far.
For my 1st smartwatch, good buy
I have a small wrist so the face is a little bit too large but other than that very comfortable feel. Love to sleep function feature and the fact that it will track my steps and do other things as well, not a fan of the fact that it does not sync with apple health like I would want it to. Had to install where OS and Google Fit so not necessarily a fan of that. Had some issues with setup, had to reset the device and start over but once I did that everything was fine.
Huge wrist band
The wrist bands are way too large (I put on my ankle and it fit). The wrist band has links and it difficult to change myself. Fossil stores will fit for free (I would call first). I ordered one watch in gold and the other in silver (silver had to be returned as it was a lemon- easy to return).
Good Watch
Battery life is good lasted me a day and a half. The best thing about this watch is it charges incredibly fast! You can have a full charge in less the 30 minutes. I personally don’t think it’s worth all the $$$ but all in all it’s not a bad watch.
Alexa not supported on watch
The watch description clearly says supported by Alexa app and it is not. And this is my second watch 1st watch got so hot would not charge the first day. When trying to use Alexa it tells you to ask a question just to say. Alexa is not supported for iOS on this watch. WTH. This watch is too expensive to be lied to. Fix it fossil. But it is cute and everything else works on it. But my generation 5 went dead in a year. Hopefully this one will last longer.
