 Superb
This watch arrived and hour ago and I am IN LOVE WITH IT.

I have a thing for watches, and own about 2 dozen of them, mostly cheap ones, which will now be rarely used because this is about to replace them all. I have already switched out the watchband on this one, which was super easy.

I like the idea of a smartwatch but they're just not elegant, I hate the LED look, and the plain black screen when they're off, and I do not like square faces. I tried to get on board with a fitbit but it's just ugly, and was annoyed at how often I had to charge it.

Since I've had this an hour, I can't speak to the battery life or overall durability (I will update later if I have problems), but it's a beautiful watch, and it does exactly what I want it to do, but nothing more. It's not packed with stupid features, it focuses on well-executed simplicity. I don't want to play solitaire on my wrist, I don't need a bunch of apps. I want it to tell time, look like a quality, classy piece of jewelry, and give me basic smart functions, like showing notifications and counting my steps. It does do *much more* than that, it has exercise modes, a timer, music controls, a do-not-disturb setting, and other things that a tech-appreciative watch-loving adult would want, but not a bunch of clutter.

One thing I find especially cool is that you never have to set the time. Even though the outer rim and the analog watch hands are physical, not digital, the watch syncs to your phone and automatically sets the time. If you get on a plane and land in diff timezone, it will adjust, just like your phone. The hands also move out the of the way (pointing to 3 & 9, becoming a straight line across the face) when you're viewing your notifications. Also this watch is NOT a touchscreen! It is controlled by the 3 buttons on the side. The casing is a teeny bit thicker than I'd like, sitting higher off my wrist, but it's not too bad and it's a very minimal sacrifice for such a fine piece.

It is truly a "hybrid" watch; the best parts of a classic analog and a digital smartwatch.

There are more reviews on listings for different styles of the same model (gold/black faces, different bands, etc), and I recommend you read them, too. Many of them were helpful to me.

But basically if you want some smart features without giving up the classic look, feel, and analog display of a "real" watch, this is for you.

Love my hybrid watch
I have had this watch for a week and I love this Fossil watch! I have had almost every Fitbit and a Samsung smartwatch and thought I would never change. I wanted a nice looking watch, that is why I tried it. I missed the fitbit app for about a day and now I find the Fossil app to be even better. It keeps track my heart rate, steps and sleep. I have no issues with it syncing with messages, Email, whatapp. I was shocked the first time I went for a walk and my watch asked me of I was exercising and if i wanted to track it.

I did buy a leather band because I did not like the band that came with it (personal preference). The lack of instructions suck but between watching videos and being a previous smartwatch owner it was easy to figure out.

I get compliments on my watch almost daily. Great watch for my business attire with the benefits of a smartwatch.

Absolutely love my watch.
I researched this product and several others before I made my decision. What I wanted was a classic looking watch that didn’t scream “smart watch” but also was a smart watch. This product fit the bill perfectly. I love that I can customize the face with pictures and which application I want to view. It’s very similar to the paper white technology so it is easy to read and back lit once you tap it. My notifications come up easily and through the fossil app on my phone I can control what I see and what I don’t. The side buttons are nice and tight, and programmable for quick access to timer, notifications, health and more. The hands do glow in the dark and make it easy to read without having to back lite. The black one I purchased came with a very nice leather band and I purchased a stainless band to use daily so as not to ruin the leather one. The process was easy and painless, all tools included. Battery life depends on how much you allow the watch to do. When I have more notifications and alarms set my battery lasts about a week to a week in a half. When I cut it back to just my text messages, I have been able to get almost 2 weeks easy out of it. It charges rather quickly. I’ve had my watch about a month and for the most part it has been within range on steps and heart rate however if I’m doing something with my hands (like knitting) my step count can sometimes get a little out of range. All and all I recommend this product for those that do not need your watch to be an extension of your phone with apps but want a good watch that does just a little bit more than just tell time.

Classy and elegant with just the functions I wanted
I wanted a traditional style timepiece look coupled with just a few basic smartwatch functions but with really good battery life and here it is! I have a Galaxy Active that has a full color screen and is nice, has reasonable up to day or two battery life-never more than 2 tops)- but I also leave the display off and have been wanting to just have an always visible watch face - and when I came across this with actual hands, I was thrilled-I love analog watches and missed the experience ever since I switched to fitness/smartwatches several years ago. I do like receiving notifications of received texts and calls (don't need to respond back; have that function on the Galaxy and find it cumbersome so don't use it anyway). I also like having heart rate/steps/activity tracking- just basics is great with me. This watch even has the weather which is nice.
The battery life is just superb and I like not having to worry about charging daily. The e-ink monochromatic display is is easily readable and functionable and good in sunlight too. - that's what preserves battery life and I don't miss the color display- I have my phone for that. Some people want that color display and are willing to sacrifice battery life-- it's a preference for sure. I just love having a constant watch face again too in a traditional classic style while still getting my notifications and steps etc. Very pleased.

My wife loves it
My wife loves it my wife loves this product I wait at least two months before I make product reviews that way I can see how this product last I forgot to make a product review on this one and my wife has had it for over a year works perfect

Best watch I've ever owned!
I purchased this watch when my Apple watch gave up on life. I didn't really want to pay for another Apple watch and wanted something that looked a little more feminine and more like a watch. I absolutely love this watch. I've had it since July of last year with zero issues. Its easy to use and looks great. I can be a little rough on watches sometimes and this one has held up great. No scratches, the band still looks new without any fading or discoloration from rubbing against clothes, etc. I get a lot of compliments on it and most people don't even realize its a smartwatch until I show them the features. I also love love love the battery life. I had to charge my Apple watch just about every day but this one will easily go well over a week sometimes almost two weeks without needing a charge. While it doesn't have the capability to answer a text like my Apple watch did I barely used that function and this one does everything I need it to for half the price.

Exceeded expectations- I love it!
I was in the market for a smartwatch that resembled an analog watch AND let me feel unplugged from my phone. This is totally it. You set it to notify you of anything you want, and nothing else, and you don't interact with your phone, which I love. I can read texts from my family on the watch without the pressure of responding while enjoying a walk in nature.

I wasn't sure about getting a rechargeable watch- I had looked at some that have replaceable batteries- but I like that this is more eco friendly and the charge lasts a LONG time, like a week, since it's not a full digital interface. The face is paperwhite style like a kindle and doesn't drain too much.

I also like that I can visit the local Fossil outlet if I ever want to change bands or anything. It's beautiful and keeps me moving. Glad I bought it instead of a gym membership :)

6 months on, still love it!
I've had this watch for 6 months now and I absolutely love it! I love that it has an actual face on it, that was important to me, I dont like the look of full smart watch. I wanted something that could track my steps, tell me how many calories I burn during the day and during a workout, and tell me my heart rate. This looks much better than a fitbit! One small negative is I find that the step counter to be sensitive. I think it over counts my steps by a bit. Its no big deal to me but just something to keep in mind. It seems like every smart watch or hybrid watch out there is over sensitive or under sensitive to steps. Ive never had any problems with the watch disconnecting from my phone and I've used it with two different phones now (an HTC and Samsung). The battery life lasts a really long time! For my its about 3 weeks! And it doesn't take long to fully charge at all. Overall I'm really happy with my watch! It was the right choice for me.

No es tan inteligente
Sinceramente a veces pienso que miente en los pasos que uno da.. no es tan inteligente ???? no se puede contestar desde ahí y los mensajes no todos los notifica

No longer getting notifications
This watch was great the first couple of months, but now I no longer get any notifications on my watch. And it sometimes doesn't recognize when I'm exercising, even though I'm at the gym for over 30 minutes every day.

So far so good.
Just received today and so far it’s good. I like that it’s customizable and it was super easy to connect to my phone. I hope it continues to impress me! I gave it 4 stars because it took them forever to ship it to me. I ordered it on a Thursday and didn’t get it until Tuesday.

Would recommend
Withstands water well, is a wonderful compromise between a classic watch and a smartwatch. The battery life when worn all day/night is closer to 6 days, not two weeks. Silicone strap is bulky and not breathable.

Pretty, but no effective directions.
I really liked this smartwatch and read several reviews before deciding I'd try it. I've had less expensive smart watches in the past and had good luck with those and I just can't bring myself to pay hundreds of dollars for some of the fancier options out there so this seemed like a good fit for me. I love that it came "assembled" (some other brands often have the bands detached and you have to assemble it yourself) and really only needed a short time hooked up to the charger before it was fully charged.
I found the AP easy enough to locate, download and navigate. Most of the functions through the AP seemed straight forward and simple. I like that you can change the style of the face to suit your own preferences, BUT somehow I lost the one "face" style that I liked the most and when I try to recreate it through the AP it doesn't sync or work on the watch anymore. I've resigned myself to just use a different face setting style, but it's maddening that there aren't any directions or troubleshooting options to help with resolving this.
Overall, this is my third week wearing it and I haven't yet had to charge it which is nice. I am enjoying the functions of the watch otherwise and happy with the purchase.

Bigger display face than expected
I always wanted a smart watch that is not too expensive. I also love fossil. I’m not sure this hybrid works. The display is really huge which takes away from the elegance of fossil but it works well and the app is great

 Poor Bluetooth Range
My Apple Watch died and I was looking for a much simpler “smart” watch, and This fit the bill for what I was looking for. Loved the simplicity of the watch. Really enjoyed the traditional watch face with real moving hands. However, extremely poor Bluetooth range. I wouldn’t even get text notifications from the next room over and maybe 6-7 feet away. Returned this and will continue to look for a different option.

Cute and practical but not durable or high enough quality for the price
I waited a year to buy this on sale and found myself disappointed upon receiving it. The glass screen cracked from basic daily wear within one week. The band is not adjustable (the rose gold version). I love the concept and if I hadn’t had those two issues I would love this watch, but for the price it was not high quality or durable and probably not worth the investment.

Pretty but not so smart
It was a gorgeous watch but the smartwatch features weren't so great, as in, they didn't work a lot of the time. Or my watch would say I was getting a call or text and I wasn't or vice versa.

Step counter oversensitive
Working on the computer or knitting will register as taking steps, which is annoying.
Worse, the app doesn't let you edit your step count when something like this happens.
The app also has no option for different kinds of workouts, so your calories are not going to be accurate there, either.
The heartrate monitor works more consistently than I expected, and I do like the minimalist, traditional look of the watch as well as the customization options.

 Amazing!!
I love this watch, it is amazing! Though I have only had it for a day! I am a runner and it will work perfectly; has a stopwatch, counts steps, and tracks distance, perfect for distance running! You can even set your phone up and use your watch to take pictures! Totally worth it!

Good watch
The battery lasts a week. The watch doesn’t have a battery indicator on it. The app is easy to use. When I first got my watch the app crashed. Timex fixed the app and now my watch works great. The touch screen is not a true touch screen it is controlled by a touch spot on the watch.

 Great watch
Absolutely love this watch so far! Super simple set up, had to update it cause the notifications and calls weren’t coming through but can easily do that through the app. Can’t go wrong for $50! I have an IPhone and didn’t want to dish out hundreds of dollars for and Apple Watch. You can set reminders to drink water which is great, haven’t figured out the scheduling portion of it but could be useful for someone that needs reminders for meds, to move, etc.

Symbol
Does anyone know what the symbol is on the top left. It kinda looks like a paper clip and is on the main time face. It will sometimes have a red dot on the middle. I have ask Timex support and even sent a picture but they have not replied.

 Nice
The only reason I am giving this watch 4 stars is because it doesn’t stay charged for very long. I have to recharge about every other day. Every thing else I really like. It works great.

 Underrated, imo. Works perfectly for what I need.
I bought this mainly for sleep tracking and step tracking, since I consistently feel exhausted, I suspected I sleep like garbage, and I wanted an idea of my steps, since I'm on my feet all day.

The sleep tracking can be iffy sometimes. When you are asleep, it tracks it really well, and it's given me great insight (I get very little REM, apparently, so my suspicions were correct). However, it occasionally thinks if you're sitting still for a long period, that you're asleep, and it'll add in a nap. So you need to check the sleep record and edit your sleep sometimes.

Step tracking is meh. I have a soft step, so it doesn't always track my step. Unhelpful. On the plus side, it thinks laundry folding is a dynamic workout, so at least someone agrees laundry is work!

Tracks workouts quite well
I bought this specifically to track workouts and for that I am quite pleased. There is an issue with wearing of long sleeves in that pushing the sleeve back to read the watch tends to inadvertently terminate the workout prematurely. I like to consult the watch frequently during a workout so as to get feedback on my pace, see how far I've gone, etc. The battery life is not as long as advertised, however I have continous monitoring of heart rate and stress enabled so undoubtedly that contributes to needing to charge more frequently. That said, it lasts nearly a week, and manages to last several hours with minimal power remaining. My workouts are walking along trails and last up to 8 hours, so I make sure to have at least 15% remaining before a planned excursion. The display is rather hard to read in bright sunlight. During a workout, the small numbers are very hard to read. I generally need to pause and turn so my watch is in my shadow. I have it configured to alert me every mile. Seeing the pace of the previous mile enables me to adjust my speed as necessary. The sleep function does not seem especially reliable but that is not a primary piece of data I am trying to acquire. Having a job that requires my phone to be muted and in my pocket at all times, the notification features are useful. I especially like knowing who's calling and being able to reject a call without getting my phone out. The ability to make short replies to texts is useful. All and all I am quite pleased. Early on I had quite a few issues and had to do several factory resets, but recent software updates seem to have corrected that. Don't be afraid to do a reset, just make sure it's backed up first.

 A Must Have For Practicality Purposes!
Samsung did a very good job on this product! As a college student, I've been looking for a budget option for a smartwatch and this seemed to fit every criteria. As a fitness band, it doesn't have the classical round shape of a watch, but rather a more rectangular look like the Fit-bit, but that's what I actually like about it! The screen is beautiful and glossy, but don't let it deceive you. As you can see from my second image, it's a little underwhelming, however don't let that discourage you! Most of the time I can never see the edges of the screen when looking straight at the band. Plus it gives room for a convenient home button on the bottom. This band does not have a speaker, however you can control media that's playing on your smartphone or even from your smartphone to a Bluetooth speaker! It has a very customizable user interface and "watch face" with different colors that you can choose from. I can receive notifications from the apps that I choose from my phone and I never miss them due to the band's good haptic feedback. It also does a good job of tracking workouts, heart rate, and sleep while synchronizing with the Samsung Health app. You can even shower while using it's water lock feature to not accidentally touch anything. Last but not least I must mention the battery life. It's amazing! It usually lasts about a week for me, which allows me to not worry about charging at night and remembering to put it on in the morning. I've had this band for about 2 months now and it does not disappoint!

Perfect fitness tracker for Galaxy users that don't want to download extra apps.
This is everything I was looking for in a fitness tracker. It is an easy set up with any Galaxy phone since it's just paired through the Galaxy Wearable app. I will admit going from a Gear watch, there was a bit of a learning curve since I'm use to buttons and bezels. This tracker only has one touch button which is similar to the home button on your phone. It is touch screen, however I'm not sure if there is an actual delay or is it user error, but I do have to swipe down a few times to access the menu.
This device does not play any sound, but does have a pretty powerful vibration in case you misplace it. (Which you can easily use the "find my band" function on the wear app. In addition to find my phone function from the band). My favorite thing is that it is waterproof and I can go swimming with it on. The only 2 things I don't like is the rubbery band it comes with and the fact that I can't answer phone calls with it. However, I understand that I can easily replace the band and since it doesn't have a speaker, it wouldn't make sense for you to be able answer the call if you didn't have your phone or headphones around. (Which both allows you to answer the call. Lol)

Loving it so far, simple and easy
I had worn FitBit Charge for about 3 or 4 years, then FitBit Charge 2 for about 3 years. I actually loved them and thought about getting a newer one since my last one was not holding time well anymore, although the heart rate part was pretty good still. But decided I wanted something smaller, compact, and didn't want to pay for an app to use it. So I reviewed Samsung Galaxy Fit 2 several times, and wanted to take the chance given it was way less than a new FitBit. I am very happy with this Fit 2! Easy to pair with the app, no extra charge for what I need it for. I only needed the time function, the heart rate function, and sleep function was cherry on the top for me. I am finding the battery to last way longer than the FitBit. I love the color that is available in the different views. Easy to program to your liking. The bands are comfortable. I ordered extra bands that fit quite well, and different colors. On my basic start screen I can see date, time, heart rate, weather temp, and battery life. If I want to see sleep function I can find it easily on the app. Overall, great for the money, eye appeal, and functions.

So much better than a Fitbit
I was looking for a basic fitness tracker to replace my Fitbit. I've had two FBs prior, both died w/in 3 yrs of purchase & w/o any company compensation except a discount to buy another one. After looking online I found the Galaxy Fit 2. I'm pretty active and do a lot of walking & cycling so I have other 'gear' to track heart rate, mileage, & efforts. Just needed something to tell time, and daily monitoring of movement. I ended up getting more than I expected. First, the clock face is nice and bright (this was my biggest complaint with the Fitbit) with many appearance options. Second, the widget options are good too - WAY better options and dissection of data than the FB. I like the thinner band since most other trackers are wider and tend to compress the nerve on my wrist. I didn't need the ability to read texts thru my watch but have been pleasantly surprised with being able to do a quick glance at an incoming text to follow up w/using my phone if necessary. The sleep tracker seems good but I wonder if it misses some REM readings. I know there is a lot more this tracker can do and maybe I'll dive into it someday but for the price point and product I am very pleased.

The device itself is nice and quality for the price but...
The device itself works great but the screen doesn't take well to little accidents like most Samsung devices. Bumped it a bit and theirs a big scratch on the screen now and I have no idea where I can get that fixed. I like my things to look pristine especially for the fact that I just bought this and it has a scratch already. I've accepted it but what I do not like about the product is the band. The band seems like a good quality band and it holds going onto my wrist nicely. It doesn't feel too tight or too loose and the material is comfortable. The issue is that some way some how it made my skin get really dry and feel like sand paper. The worst part is my skin started to peel and it actually really hurt. It peeled the skin off of a scar from 4 years ago which doesn't feel great. Anyway thanks for taking the time to read this. Maybe find a band of your own that will fit the device and not irritate your skin. Hope this helps!

 Happy
I love this watch and how easy it was to get it to connect to my phone. I love the app and how it can track steps using my phone and the watch so none of my steps are lost when I am Pushing the stroller. I learned I am making my step count daily in my classroom while my phone is put up and away. I should have bought the screen protectors with the watch because the screen is cracked in a few places just 4 days in so it is not very durable for my active life style. The battery life is okay I have to charge it 2x a week and I have not tested how water proof it really is. However day 1 with the watch I pushed a button and could not get it off waterlock and must have swam all day in my class apparently I can do 10 laps in my room. ?? I love how it tells me to breath ween my stress goes up ?? and how I can text from it tho I had to add many phrases. Over all I am very happy.

I'm loving this watch and app, but it could use 2 simple features
So far this watch and the app, along with the Samsung Health app, do a wonderful job tracking the basics. Between the communication on the phone and watch, along with a reasonable amount of options, I really like this. I wanted an affordable option without all the crazy extras (and crazy price tag!) and this seems to be recording things with ease of use and accuracy. Although, sometimes maybe the sensor is possibly not as sensitive as it should be. For instance, when I count my steps it seems the watch records a number that's slightly lower, but I read with fitness tracker things there's about a 10%+/- so I'm not sure if that's really something that can be improved. The 2 things I wish it had were: 1.) a phone picture-taking remote button. 2.) A simple BBT (basal body temp) dial type of entry widget right on the watch. (I'm also surprised the Samsung Health app doesn't have any place to record BBT.) For me as a woman trying to track all my health related things (menstrual cycle included!), and especially during a pandemic, it would be nice to be able to record daily BBT. Samsung please put out an update including these 2 things! Pleeeeeeeease! ????????

pros and cons
I got this because I was getting into cardio workouts. It tracks everything pretty good. It does not lag. The app works super well with it and you can shower and swim and have no problems... but... They don't sell replacment bands and the of brand ones don't seem to fit it the best. you can track workouts but it won't let you use the stop watch or timer when you start a workout. Out of the box it is easy to setup and gets going fast. The watch is super easy to customize and you can adjust it super easily to your workout needs. I rate 4/5. It is super solid and it's awesome for my workout needs but It is was worth it to save up a little more and buy one of the new watches.

 I like what I get for the price.
I bought this to replace a 15 month old Samsung Fit that had a dying battery. I've had Fitbits in the past, but don't think they're worth the money because they can't keep their software from futzing up and their customer service isn't responsive. I like the price of the Samsung Fit2 and hope they've gotten the battery fixed on this version. I like that they've added blood pressure and blood sugar tracking. This one syncs the sleep records better than my last one. The software used to give you a sleep efficiency rating % which made sense, now they give you a sleep rating that is an arbitrary number I can't quite sort out. I also like that I can compare my numbers to others in my age group. I often have trouble getting wristbands to fit comfortably (8" wrist), this one is large enough.

Fell short of expectations
So this tracker appeared it could replace my Fitbits with lots of cool new features and an awesome battery life (which it has so far), but in less than 3 months I realized what the trade offs are in my case. 1st thing, this device doesn't sync to health carriers .. manual entry only. 2nd, the auto detect exercise feature quit working, called Samsung techs and were unable to fix so instead of replacing they requested I mail unit to them and they would get back to me. I declined the offer as it seemed like a hassle so now I manually select. Out of the 7 months I've owned it, I've used it about 3. Lastly, steps .. the tracking is consistently less than Fitbit but honestly don't know which is more accurate. Will not purchase another device from Samsung.

A Few Issues
Although I like my Fitbit I am having a few problems with it. The step tracker resets halfway through the day. A little rings spins for several minutes the completely resets the day. The charger has the shortest cord in history and won't stay connected to the device. I just wanted something to track my step and can sync my steps to my phone. Nothing fancy.... idc about the other functions.

Difficult to use (sometimes)
I'm mixed about this. I knew it wasn't a smartwatch, that's not what I wanted, but I find that I spend more time trying to get out of certain settings For example, I might hit cycle in error and it takes forever for me to get out of that. If I don't catch the notification immediately, I miss it. It's linked to the Samsung Health on my phone but the phone always has more steps. I find that frustrating. I thought that I'd have more steps as I'm wearing it all the time, while I don't always have the phone. It also is one of the only tracking device that doesn't sync to WW.

It was great until it wasn't. Take . Take 2
Exactly one month after purchasing my Samsung Fit2, it has completely stopped working. It will not turn on and will not sync with my phone. Troubleshooting with Amazon. There is no way for me to reboot this device - not even one of those little "press the button with a pen" on the back.
I am sending this back for a replacement through Amazon. I am so unhappy with how quickly this device broke and how there was literally nothing I could do to troubleshoot and fix it at home. Shame on Samsung for selling such a product. All I wanted was a basic fitness band to help me with phone notifications, help me track my sleep, and help me track my workouts. This was a great watch until it wasn't but I'm willing to give it another try.

UI needs work
It's good for a base model product and if you're using it for daily heart monitoring, it's great. It lost two stars for me because I use this o ly as a fitness tracker. When you're tracking a workout, if any notification pops up, the workout pauses. If the workout pauses for too long, it ends the workout. So many runs and bike rides have not gotten counted because someone texted me, I didn't feel the vibration alert or I couldn't reach over to tap the notification due to stability on my bike. Kind of a broken feature and by reading the comments I can see I'm not the only one.

 Inaccurate heart rate and sleep data
The step count part was fine, and I liked that it showed the weather on the home screen, but it doesn't record heart rate or sleep data accurately at all. I ended up returning it and paying a little bit more for a fitbit on sale.

 Love it
It kooks great. You can customize the size of the letters, what's displayed and also what each button does. I changed the band for a leather one.

I restarted the phone recently and since I did it I'm not able to make my phone ring if I configure one of the buttons with that function but it works through the menu. I'm talking to customer care about it.

I don't use it for sleep tracking. Not sure how accurate the steps are. We went on vacation and my husband and I were getting different miles. He has a Garmin.

 I love it
I love the style, the band is 11mm whick is one of the reasons why I bought the watch. My hands are kinda thick so a thick band doesn't look good but this one is perfect. I would love a smaller case, maybe 36 or 34mm, this one is 38mm, and even though is very nice, I like smaller watches. The app is easy to use and you can customize your watch in several ways. The watch doesn't come with a manual, but there are several videos on YouTube where you can find reviews and explore all the features of the watch. I love it so much that I'm actually thinking about buying another one in a different color. I would definitely recommended, the battery last so long, I think I charge my watch like twice a month, and it has everything a smart watch should have: counting steps, heart rate, sleep tracking, some exercises like walking running elliptical hiking (I think it tracks like 7 or 8 different exercises) anyways is literally a combination of a smartwatch and a regular watch

Exactly what I wanted
Has all the features I wanted…Step counting, calories burned, and being able to read texts/see call notifications. Really enjoy the analog hands and “kindle-style” text/imagery, much sleeker looking than a backlit screen. Being able to control music was a plus- as was the screen customization options within the Fossil app. The 38mm diameter was perfect for my wrist size and the look I was going for (it really does look like a standard watch- a bit thicker than usual from the side but it doesn’t feel clunky). I like the band it comes with but ordered a leather one too that hasn’t arrived yet. Super pleased for the price what this watch has to offer!

Better than my Fitbit
I have been using a Fitbit watches for about 3 years, but in the past few months, my stats have been way off and I was tired of the glitches. I chose this because it’s beautiful and still has a lot of the same tracking features. Honestly I wish I’d bought it sooner because it’s perfect. It looks like an actual jewelry piece with the watch face, and it seems to accurately track my heart rate, steps, and sleep. The phone notifications are also seamless. I’m so happy with this purchase!

Not Rose Gold
I enjoy the design and functionality of this watch overall. With very few bells and whistles, it does exactly what I want a smartwatch to do. However, it is not rose gold as described. It is a traditional gold color. After looking around a bit, I can't even find a traditional gold version for sale (they are all described as being rose gold). What's up with that?

 just what I was looking for
I like having the step counting/ heart rate/ other basic smartwatch functions but missed the look of a normal watch. This was exactly the compromise I was looking for. It doesn't have the fanciest features for a smartwatch (can't reply to texts, no touchscreen, etc.) but it looks great and passes for a normal watch. It's larger than many standard women's watches, but still smaller than pretty much any other smartwatch I could find (I have small wrists, and it's about as big as I'd want but not too big). It's also standing up pretty well to a moderate amount of abuse (I'm clumsy).

Gteat, simple smartwatch
Great smartwatch! Very pretty....I was looking for a smartwatch that looked like a regular watch... this one fits the bill! A little larger than I'm used to wearing, so that took a bit to get used to. The directions included in the packaging are basically useless...I Youtubed the directions and used the Fossil website. If you're looking for major bells and whistles, this one isn't it...but, if you're looking for step tracker, notifications, weather app, heart rate,etc....you found it!

Great Hybrid smartwatch
Love this hybrid smartwatch. It has just enough smart functions (notifications, heart rate, step counter, sleep tracking) for me. I like it because I still have the classic look of the watch along with the smart functions. I also have semi-small wrists and this is the perfect size. Been wearing it non-stop since I received it, putting it on the charger when I shower and I haven't gone below 80%.

The perfect, dressy smartwatch!
I am in love with this watch! I have been looking for a smart watch that didn’t look sporty, and this one is perfect! It is surprisingly light and comfortable. I almost forget I’m wearing it. It looks so elegant and I am constantly receiving compliments. All the features work great, and it was simple to customize all the settings.

Difficult to push middle button
I’ve been searching for a new circular watch instead of a square like Fitbit or Apple Watch. This one is really pretty and has the features that I want like step count and reminders to move. I don’t like that if you get a long text or notification that you can’t keep scrolling to read the whole thing. Also, the middle button is difficult to push. It also doesn’t come with a full manual which would be more helpful, it’s probably online somewhere though.

Two tips for use!
I have only had my watch for several days--still working on how the buttons work. BUT, I have two tips to offer to other buyers: First, in order to trigger the light to illuminate the watch face, you must double tap on the face of the watch. However this does not work consistently. To make it work every time, use TWO FINGERS and double tap. Second, if you have a watch with a mesh band, which I find to be very handsome and like a lot, you will not be able to adjust the length without instructions! Search 'How to adjust mesh band on Fossil watch' on your browser---this will take you to several videos, but the best is the longest one you can find.

Gorgeous watch (no alarm feature)
I really do love this watch. It’s stylish and pretty. I like that it has the time always displayed unlike other smart watches. It will show your notifications and tracks sleep as well. The only thing I don’t like is that it doesn’t have an alarm feature and the vibration for the timer is very short, only about three bursts. I used my Fitbit as an alarm and I loved it. It’s way less jarring than an auditory alarm. But I’m getting used to it as the pros outweigh the cons with this one. Overall very happy with the purchase despite the missing alarm feature!

All beauty, no brains
I really like this watch but the algorithm that tracks steps is way off. I started wearing it on my left arm bjt being left handed, any movement registered as steps. I switched it to my right arm but it's still off a lot. It's a very pretty watch and I love that I can get notifications on it but the one reason I bought it was to track steps. I have just a few days left to decide if I want to keep it or not.

 My mom loves it!!
I bought this watch for my mom for Mother’s Day and she keeps telling me how much she loves it and gets so many compliments on it when she wears it at work! It’s really pretty and classy, I’m thinking of buying one for myself! It’s just like an Apple Watch, she gets texts messages on it. You can pick the face for it, there’s 100 to choose from. She picked the one that had huge numbers, she loves that she can see it! She’s still trying to figure out how to work the texts though. She said it was kind of hard to set up, but my sister helped her with it. This was the perfect gift!

Love it! I wear it daily!
I wear it daily! The battery life typically lasts a full day as long as it is still on the charger when you wake up. It tracks your steps accurately. You can text and call people on it. Calls are hard for the other side to hear, but doable. Voice text is pretty good. It's hard to type your text but you can if you're slow and take your time.

Great watch
This is only my second week wearing it, so I'm still learning about everything it has to offer. So far I'm loving the step counter and was able to get it to sync with the Noom app. I'm in the medical field and the timer has been great for counting peoples pulses. I was really worried about the face being too large and even hesitated to order it. Now I must say that the size is perfect and definitely not too large. And if your worried that the band may not fit your wrist, don't be I had to have 5 links taken out. My only complaint thus far is that the charger cord isn't very long limiting where you can charge it. I have a fairly tall dresser, maybe 42-46" with a plug right beside it and the watch has to sit on the very edge just to reach the charger. Not good for the watch to be on the edge like that.

Great at first. Died at 87 days old. Poor customer support from Fossil!!
I've had my watch Less Than 3 months. I loved it! It synched well with my Samsung Note and worked perfectly until a couple of days ago. Started cycling on and off at random times. Now it continues to cycle on and off repeatedly every minute and the watch is getting hot. Fossil said they will cover it under their warranty, however their customer service is poor in my opinion. I have to ship the watch to them at my cost and pay for shipping insurance and proof of delivery. Repair can take 4 to 6 weeks. If they can't fix it, then they will supposedly provide me a new one. In the meantime, I have no watch for a month and a half. I am not happy! Too bad not all companies have the great customer service that Amazon does!!

 I like it
Got this watch for $149 on Amazon!! The watch is actually okay. Band was way too big, but I took it to the fossil store and they removed links for me, now it fits perfectly. (SN: fossil will remove links for you for free in store) I wanted a leather band, so ended up buying one at another fossil store. (Another SN: the band size for this watch is 18mm) The watch did take me about a week to learn how to use it. I have a Samsung Galaxy 20 and it works perfectly with it. I love that I don't have to pull my phone out to text, answer calls, or email. My personal opinion I'd recommend it. Only downside is the band is too big, but like I said, fossil will remove the links in store for free.

 I love my smartwatch!!
I was a little skeptical on getting a smartwatch in fear I wouldn't really use it much after the first week-month. But I absolutely love it. I challenge myself daily with getting more steps and actually doing a workout here and there to get "heart points". I'm a competitive person so having a little challenge for myself daily is awesome. I also got my fiance the black gen 5 and he loves his. We always leave our phone laying down and slack on responses to people or have multiple missed calls/texts and these wat he's have definitely helped us try to keep up with calls/texts/emails throughout the day, even when busy or working!

Femininity Easy to Use Touch Screen
iphone user: purchased 5/10, review 5/20: Easy install of iOS app but I wish we didn’t have to install every app to use this product. Cool faces, would recommend also purchasing the screen protector (I am a very cautious person but those really help decrease scratches etc). It did come quite large around the band but it took the fossil watch repair guy 1 minute to resize to fit my wrist. Would recommend putting it on battery save mode which last a week otherwise your battery will drain within hours. Very cute and I like it a lot.

Better than my fitbit that I've had for years.
This smart watch has alot of features to learn than my fitbit did. I'm learning something new everyday. I do love that I can reply and answer my phone when I'm away from my actual phone bc I'm very bad at misplacing my phone. The only feature that I'm not fond of is the battery life. It does not last long at all. I have to charge this daily. The look...I get compliments all the time. Only had this a week.

Overall it’s a GREAT watch that’s beautiful
Apple user here and I love this watch. I’ve used it for three days now and it does everything that I used my Apple Watch for and now I actually have a nice looking watch! The only negative is that I thought I could add my personal pictures to the watch screen like I could on my Apple Watch but you can or at least I haven’t found out how to do it.

ABLE TO TALK ON WATCH
I bought this watch because I got Galaxy note 20 and forgot need my watch and apple can work w android so I first bought galaxy watch it sucked bought this 1 and love it track my heart sleep messages and alarm and can talk on it notifications as well I can use my watch if I'm not to far from my phone which is Bonus cuz my Boss is Cruella LMAFO Bonus

 I love this watch!
This watch is fantastic, it works great with my phone. I love that I don't have to carry my phone with every step I make and can still receive texts and calls. It helps with work because I can access my calendar events as well as my emails. Very easy to take links out of the band, my husband did it in a matter of maybe 2 minutes with a small nail and a butter knife. The battery lasts all day and is still charged at least 50% when I go to bed. Overall love the watch!!

 Inexpensive alternative to galaxy or Apple watches. But...
I purchased as a gift for my girlfriend. To preface this review, I'd like to say she likes the watch and gets compliments. It seems to work to replace her fitbit.

First thing I noticed, the "rose gold" color is not very "rosey". In my opinion it looks like 18ct gold. The watch face is huge when on a ladies wrist. Would love to see a redesign that doesn't look so. Battery life is not super impressive. Needs to be charged every night, which kind of negates the sleep rhythm settings. But this is typical with most smart watches.

Somewhat lacking UI implementation, awkward menu setup, disconnects from phone frequently
The experience I had with this watch was frustrating. Generally I found it to be awkward to use, and to take too many steps to get it fully up and running. When it was set up, I had a hard time getting ahold of the UI, but that might just be me. Battery life is as advertised, but it stands to mention that the screen will light up with EVERY instance of a notification - no watch should do that without an option to turn it off. (Both touch and tilt to wake functions were disabled, mind you) I feel like that is the biggest reason for my battery drain, not any of the settings I could ever adjust.

Ultimately I might have kept the watch if there were any tools or instructions included on how to adjust the metal band - That was hands down my least favorite part of this. I returned it to put a couple more dollars toward a different brand. It's a shame, because it's so stylish.

 Sadly defective but was a good watch.
I received this on January 12th. Today is February 17th. My watch has been displaying an odd messed up screen and cycling between that and the clock screen. The screen is not turning off. The battery is dying quickly due to it not turning off. It is probably broken/defective. I had a Fossil smart watch before this and liked it. I had an issue with that watch and customer service/repairs was good on their word and got my first watch fixed. I will reach out to customer service again to get this one repaired as well. Unless they give me trouble honoring the warranty which I don't think the will I will still continue to recommend Fossil watches as with the except of defects they are good quality and their warranty service is good. I'll update if issues with warranty process.

Very dissapointed
First off the watch is gorgeous. But without a battery charger the watch is useless. The watch came with no charger. How on earth can a smartwatch be sold without a charger? Love the watch doesn't have an option to return for exchange

 Great watch for the price
I love this watch. I got it for my 8th year old and he loves it and shows it off constantly. It has been only a few weeks and it is holding up well. Which is good considering it is a little big for him and he is constantly taking it off. I was disappointed to find there was no calculator app. I thought that was a pretty common app for such devices. I have only connected to my iPhone and his iPad and it makes/takes calls and plays music through the tiny watch speakers. He also plays music I stored on the memory card I added to it. Pretty cool for the price. I would have loved this as a kid too. I believe more features are possible with an android phone. Mine has facebook and whatsapp applications including a sim card.

Smart watch review
This synced well with my Samsung S5. Phone range appears good and the battery lasts a couple of days, under limited use. It is really nice to answer the phone and respond while you are driving. The earphones take a special adapter, which is very reasonably priced. The fact you can add a memory sim and a phone sim is a bonus. No need for a phone then. Still haven't figured out how to answer text, but if it is that important the option to call them back is right there. Very happy considering the price. Fits a small wrist and my husband didn't even notice I had it on until I pointed it out.

This watch is very good. I've had it about a month and love ...
This watch is very good. I've had it about a month and love it. I do wish that it came with more instructions though. The app that they recommend does not work. I downloaded an app called smart wear and have not had a problem. I can't figure out the radio but it's not something I really would use. Calls are very clear when in a quiet area. Everyone thinks it's the apple watch and I don't tell them otherwise. I would recommend getting this for the price.

Contacted seller and was very pleased with the exchange process
Watch arrived with defective screen that would not show graphics. Contacted seller and was very pleased with the exchange process. New watch arrived and was exactly as expected. I highly recommend this seller. Watch is as good as could be expected given the price. Very content.

Not bad for what you're paying for it
Just about what I expected for $35. It's pretty comfortable and a decent size. The worst thing about this watch is trying to find a Bluetooth application to work with it for your text messages. Without the app, you can still make and answer calls from the watch through Bluetooth pairing. The camera is garbage, but I expected that. I really wanted the watch to be able to read my texts and gets calls and it does what I wanted it too. The instructions don't make any sense at all and half of them are in Chinese, but you learn the watch after an hour or so of use. For Android, the app "RWATCH" works perfectly for my text messages. I'd rather, and should have gone with the Martian notifier watch for around the same price range but this will do.

Works well for the basic needs I wanted
Wanted to try out a watch that synced with my phone to see how it all worked....so far working quite well for basic uses. The app pushes through texts and calls, and other notifications that I set up in app. Has ability to send simple texts back and answer calls. Really quite neat. I do not have a sim card. When that is added, you can use more features (but I don't need them)

 Functions as described
This is a Chinese-made smartwatch, that fully functions as described, for less cash than a tank of gas. It is not the BEST quality, but offers strong value given it's incredibly low price point. I bought this for my daughter (9 years old) and she thinks it is amazing. If you are an adult, you will need to spend at least 4xs as much money to be fully satisfied. It is what it is: a cheap smartwatch that works.

Not to mention they loved it. we brought 4
We brought this as a give to take it back home for our Niece and Nephew who are all teenagers. Not to mention they loved it.
we brought 4. 3 of them worked perfectly fine and they are using as phone and pedometer and what not. but one of them would not work. it would turn on and shuts down. we send them another charger and no change.

Great Smart watch for the price.
Only had it three days but it's great for the money! Pedometer does not automatically track your steps. I tried three BT Notifiers before I found one that was compatible with my Galaxy Note 8. Overall I am very pleased.

 Love it, great fitness and everyday use smart watch
I've been a fitbit fan for years, so I was happy when they came out with a watch to rival Apple Watch (which my husband has). I feel Fitbit is better at tracking fitness and has more workout options available. You can select (run, bike, weights, treadmill, elliptical, workout, hike, spinning, yoga, golf, kickboxing, the list goes on and on! The StarFit app comes with 3 workouts (warm up, 7 min workout, and abs) I think you can purchase more but I'm fine with those for now, useful when traveling. Being able to read my messages and see who is calling from my wrist is nice. I'm getting used to the BPM monitor, so far it seems accurate. It goes up when I'm running and down when I'm sleeping. You can select between 4 clock faces, kind of sad I couldn't select Mickey Mouse like the Apple Watch...LOL But that's not a big deal. Being able to switch the bands is nice as well. I have the black, purple, and camel leather. You can also control the volume of your music from the Blaze. I don't workout to music so I can't say if its easy to do or not, just wanted you to know its a option. If your more concerned with fitness over how many apps you can sync to your watch then choose the Blaze!

Upgraded from charge to blaze
I previously had the fitbit charge. The material was great never had a problem wearing it. I wanted to upgrade. Amazon had the best price. I wear it everyday. Never have had a problem with syncing or anything with the band it self. The screen in the middle is secured in tightly. Battery last 5 days and have to charge it for 1 hour to be full again. I wear this in the sun or rain no matter wear it seems to always hold up. I can't wait to order more bands and holders for the screen.

The heart rate monitor works great and how it should. I have the small and it fits much better than the small on the charge. There is still plenty of extra strap to make it larger. The extra strap is held on by a part that has a notch so the strap doesn't come undone. If it breaks customer service is great and willing to replace it all. I have recommended to many people who have bought the blaze.
It's the perfect style for and active person who still wants to be fashionable and doesn't always have their phone by them. The text part is amazing makes it able to read text without looking at your phone same with phone calls.

 So cool!
I was a little hesitant about purchasing any Fitbit after initially ordering the Charge 2. After receiving it in the mail, I immediately removed it from the box and attempted to set it up. I soon became frustrated and disappointed that it wouldn't connect to any Bluetooth equipment that I own. I tried everything that was suggested on the Fitbit website as well as what other people who had difficulty and nothing worked. I'm thinking it was just a fluke, idk. I decided to return it and contemplated as to what kind of tracker I wanted. I even looked into the Apple watch. After reading the reviews for the Blaze and seeing that the majority had a lot of good things to say about it I decided to give it a try. Plus the price was right after it went on sale for Black Friday:)
Well, I can honestly say, I had no problems whatsoever with the Blaze. I absolutely love it and all the wonderful things it can do for me. I can also agree as others have mentioned in their reviews, that its pretty accurate on tracking heart rate and steps. The app for it is a nice feature and is very helpful whether your tracking exercise/activities, sleep patterns or your heart rate. It's exactly what I wanted in a tracker and it looks nice also. I recommend for others to give it a try too.

Easy to use, great battery life
I got the Blaze in early March right when it came out. I've been wearing it daily since then and love it so far. The best thing is the battery life is phenomal, I only need to charge it about once a week. I have a very small wrist and was concerned about the size of the face. It actually feels better on my wrist than the charge HR did because of the joints where the charge HR is one piece. It does look large on my wrist but it doesn't bother me. I had an android phone when I first bought this and the notifications on the blaze didn't work. When I bought an iPhone 6 recently the notifications have worked without issues. The screen is really user friendly and I love the stopwatch and timer feature (works great for baking when I leave the kitchen). The heart rate monitor, and sleep monitor work just as well as in the charge HR. I bought the leather band at the same time as the Blaze and it was fairly easy to swap out, but I wouldn't want to do it daily. The face pops out easily to charge - I initially was concerned with removing it requently to charge, i was concerned it would effect its durability and wear it down to wear it might slip out on it own- this is the not case at all, it retains its structure.
Great watch, easy to use, looks nicer than the past models, great battery life.

So far it's a great little smart watch
So far it's a great little smart watch. It's been doing a good job at monitoring my heartbeats (every 10-15 seconds it scans), along with how many steps I've taken and other things. I like how it monitors my sleeping pattern/heartbeat and keeps a log of everything. It helps knowing these things at a higher viewpoint, and those graphs help that. The biggest thing I like about is how versatile it's been so far. The tracker pops out of the metal frame/band set and can be inserted into another set in a couple of seconds. I have 2 other frame/band sets aside from stock, and I use one for office and the other for gym/physical activities.
I'd advise going with the large band unless you have rails for wrists. I have small wrists and I ordered the small, and I only have 2 more holes in the band with stock. I tried my coworkers on at work who has a large, and it fit great with a little over half of the holes used with lots to spare.
This needs a bluetooth 4.0 computer to do bluetooth with, as I found out with macbook pro. My pro is a late-2011, which doesn't have bluetooth 4.0 nor does it have the low energy feature of bluetooth which this guy uses. I do my connectivity through my phone, but the data is uploaded to the site when sync'ed so I can go to fitbit.com to read everything just as in one of the fitbit apps.


My first Fitbit and I love it!
I have been wanting a Fitbit for quite some time but found that the Blaze was going to be released so I waited for it. I fortunately got is as a gift and have been using it now for about a month. I am not disappointed! It was super easy to pair to my iPhone 6 and I have never had Bluetooth connectivity problems. I was worried about the size of it looking weird on my small wrist but I think it looks great! It's size small and it's very comfortable. I have not had issues with the screen. It's very responsive when I turn my wrist to see the time and also when I use the touchscreen. All of the stats seem accurate, I was worried about having accuracy issues since I read a lot of complaints with older models. I have used the GPS feature connected to my phone several times and it was very accurate. It keeps me very motivated to reach my goals especially during my workouts. I charge it about every 4-5 days so it holds a charge really well! I don't mind popping the screen out to charge it in the pod. I love the different band options, I only have the black sport band but I plan on getting the leather band soon. I like the smart watch features of getting notifications with calls and texts. I didn't really want a full smart watch like the Apple one so this is perfect. I just like seeing the message or who calls if I'm not near my phone. I love the silent alarm to wake me up in the morning so I don't wake up my boyfriend. The sleep tracking seems accurate and I like to see how I am sleeping. The app is great and very user friendly. I really can't say enough about it!

 Love it!
This is a beautiful watch. It took me a little while to figure out how to get it all set up, but Fossil was very responsive to Messenger on their Facebook page. Once I got it all set up, I'm really loving it. I love that the Google Play Store is already in the watch, so you can add apps right from the watch rather than the phone app. You can put text in with Google Voice, so it is nice to be able to reply to a text with Google Voice. The watch band that came with it is really pretty, but pretty heavy, and if you have a small wrist, needs to be sized. I put a rose gold expansion band on it. The only con so far is the battery life. The power saver comes on automatically at 15%. I've been playing with it a lot over the last 2 days, while discovering everything about it, putting in my preferences, etc., so I'm not getting 24 hrs. Hopefully when I'm done discovering all it has to offer and have everything I want in it, it will give me at least 24 hrs. That will not be enough of a reason for me to return it, because the charger is very small, and I have a portable phone charger that I can use. Both will easily fit in my purse.

Great Watch!! Absolutely love it. (Read description before buying)
This is a great smart watch. It has everything that is essensial for those who can't always have their phones at hand! All the apps work perfectly fine. I receive and answer messages from my LG G7 ThinQ. I have seen some reviews saying "IT DOES NOT WORK WITH IPHONE" and blabla..WELL..it says it in the DESCRIPTION! read it before buying bcuz yes, it does not work to it's full potencial with Iphones.

You are able to use this under water with no issue. It will keep track of the steps you make and the calories you have burned as well as you heart read throughout the period that it is being worn.

The only bad thing about the watch is the band. It got so dirty in less than two weeks.....sad..i would recommend getting anything else than the one it comes with. Other than that the watch is perfect for my needs.

Cute watch love the rose gold!
I love the look and interface. The watch itself is awesome. The magnetic band, which I thought I would love, gets magnetized to the metal tables and desks at work all day long which loosens it from my wrist. I spend so much time fiddling with my watch band to get it tight on my wrist it gets irritating. (my fault for not realizing, but forewarning for those who haven't thought about it...) Besides that, I love my watch. This is the second Fossil watch I've owned. It connects so easily to my phone. Often times I get notified on my watch before my phone that someone is calling or texting me, which is great since it gives me a head start to find it lol. Being able to change my watch face is entertaining and I like that there is a seasonal option.

Would recommend to a friend.
Before I bought this watch I read a lot of reviews and watched many Youtube videos about Smart Watches. The one thing that I loved about this watch is its look. I doesn't look like a fitness watch. The round face is very classy and profesonal. I also love that you can change the bands to match your look.
It tracks my runs and walks wonderfully. I haven't had any problems pairing it with my Samsung Phone.
If you are a person who loves Facebook ,Twitter and Snapchat notifications than this watch may not be for you. Although It does a wonderful job keeping you connected it can drain your battery very quickly. If your like me and have it on airplane mode during work hours and only connect to your phone when needed, your battery life will last at least two days.
If you want a Smart Watch that is classy, well built and android friendly I would definitely recommend this watch.

Wonderful watch!
I bought a Used-Good watch from Amazon. Beware that the strap is NOT leather. The only thing missing from the box was the manual, which is available online. The initial charging went well, the start up was smooth, and I am absolutely impressed. Even though the watch was used, I couldn't see any blemishes on the watch face or the housing. As I stated before, the strap is NOT leather. But I really could care less. The watch is the right size and thickness for my tiny wrist. Pairing was simple, vibrate for notifications is spot on, and I'm in love with this watch. So far so good! ETA: It's been a month with the watch and I'm still very happy with it. I would like to add that the heart monitor is a bit wonky. If my heart rate was really what the watch says it is I'd be dead :)

 Loving this watch!
For the first 10 minutes, I thought I would be returning this watch. But, once I figured out what all I could do and how it works, I love it so much! There are way more functions, and it's more accurate than the Fitbit. It goes into a lot more detail as well. Very customizable. Only downside is the battery. I wear it all day and have about 50% by the end of the night. I don't wear it to sleep. It charges pretty fast though. If you buy this, give yourself a good 30 minutes to set it all up and figure it out before you decide how much you like it.

 It's good and bad
So far so good I guess. The only neg is the battery life. Depending on how much you use it ofcourse but I think my use is average but it doesn't always last a full day. Takes some getting use to to navigate but every electronic does. It is vibrant and fits nice. I have a small wrist so I bought a sizing kit and fixed the size myself. Very easy. Also bought an additional band to switch it up. Very easy to change. If you are someone that would always be on it I don't recommend. If you are an average or below average user then I definitely recommend. Also recommend the glass cover for the face. It doesn't take away from the sensitivity of the touch screen and it's not noticeable.

Good watch overall
I really like this watch, but I do have a complaint. The watch will disconnect from my phone several times and sometimes takes forever to connect again. Phone will show connected (paired) watch says no. I don't recommend the blush color band either. It was dirty with the first wear and had only gotten worse. I will need to buy a different one. Also, if you have a step counter on it, beware of the disconnection issue. Wore it on a 45 min walk, checked step counter when I got home and it showed zero. Overall it's a great buy and does everything I hoped it would.

 A great smartwatch that also looks very classy on your arm
So I bought this watch for my 78-year-old father. He is from a generation that if it looks like gold or is gold then it is classy and this watch certainly ticks that box. Of course, it is not a gold watch but it does look the part, so if that is important to you, you won't go wrong here. Other than that, it is on the slightly thick size...so small hands/arms may not work well with this watch and the Wear OS has been integrated well with the watch. Has two buttons on the side that you can customize but frankly, I don't think he ever uses. For the price, a good deal with a nice look.

The performance of this smart watch is superb! Not to mention it is absolutely gorgeous...
The battery life in this smart watch is about 8 hrs if you are continuously using it, if not it lasts about 12 hours. It is touch screen and can also be used to take calls as well as do most things that you phone can do, with more convenience. It definitely is worth the money and it is great eye candy as well.

Great looking but not much more (edited: great watch)
This is now my second watch. Returned the first one because the band kept in clipping and it wouldnt ring for calls only show them and wouldnt alert me to texts. Also I could have sworn it said you could carry phone calls from the watch which you cant. Second watch wont hold a charge for anything. Literally 1% battery loss EVERY minute.
Edit: after a couple days it updated and has been great since so I have changed my rating.

Funciona muy bien con el iPhone 11 Pro Max!!!
Hasta ahora ningún problema! Veremos con el Paso del tiempo, lo único malo es que no se puede contestar los mensajes desde la esfera con el Apple wach es la única diferencia que encuentro!

The band is small for guys. I didn't need links removed.
Nice watch. U can wear it anywhere. Battery life is better after updates. They take a while to download and install. The watch faces are premium also. It charges fast I'm getting a full day. I'm coming from a zenwatch 2. Speaker is loud for a watch. But I don't use it. It's fast. No sleep app. Download your own quit whining

MK Class with top fitness technology
I purchased this watch for my wife. She’s a HUGE Michael Kors fan, but she’s new to the gym. This watch combines her high maintenance bling with her new love for fitness. The watch is gorgeous, and the display is really beautiful. My wife said this is the nicest thing anyone has ever given to her.

Some good, some not so good
Firstly, this watch looks beautiful. I got tired of the dullness of my Apple Watch, and wanted something nicer looking and this watch is stunning. Fairly easy to set up once you download the right app.
Cons- it needs your phone to be near it to stay connected of course. Sometimes the reconnect does not happen automatically which is not great. Maybe I am so used to my Apple Watch doing it’s thing that I expected this to also.
Battery life is awful! I added Nike run club app and used it for my morning run and the battery was dead by lunchtime. Never did that again. Even so, with basic notifications I am lucky to get to the evening with it not having switched to saver mode which means no notifications just time mode.
Some of the features it seems are not available (the Instagram and Facebook options)
Charges fast, looks good but I no longer use this as my everyday watch. It’s a “I want a fancy looking watch for this outfit or event” kind of watch and I’m back to Apple for daily wear.

Looks great!
Looks good, sounds good! But notice that the battery life is opposite to what is described in specifications, but might possibly have to do with the amount of apps I’m running in it. U can not reply to text messages via watch unless u have a cellar plan and SIM card for it

Only functions as a watch can’t set up to get calls wast
Never learned how to use and still don’t understand. Can’t get calls bc not clear instructions! Should have just bought a new Apple Watch ! People make these watches with easier instructions and make the watch as easy and seamless as apple if you can ! Wasted my money !!Its pretty but only functional as a simple watch !!

Way too big for a woman's wrist.
I didn't even use it. When it came it was obnoxiously big for a women's watch. There is no way I could have worn that. I wanted something that looked professional for a work environment but it was so big it just looked ridiculous on a woman's wrist.

Horrible Battery Life
Although I love this smartwatch, the battery does not last more than 24 hours, although description says a week. The same thing happened with the Sophie, I returned it because of this problem. I have decided just to deal with it. If another company made a watch that looked like this with a longer battery life, I would have definitely bought the other option. Very disappointed with the price as well as the battery life.

For the price, not worth the hassle
If you have an older iphone don't bother buying it. Won't stay connected to my phone, only had it for a day and I had to reset and restart my watch 5 times to pair it with my phone again. You have to download an app for it and keep it open, if you close the app it disconnects from your phone.

Really pretty but limited features
it’s a beautiful watch. limited features. doesn’t stay connected all day long. the phone calls usually don’t work on the watch. only your phone. so it’s not really worth it. i would recommend a watch with more features for the price

 I love it!
Previously, I wore the Motorola smart watch and it was huge, clunky, and the button cut into my wrist. The voice recognition was terrible so messaging from the phone was useless and I could never get the watch to turn on when I flipped my wrist to see the dial. It was relegated to a drawer 6 months after I got it.

This watch is so much sleeker!. It feels like a normal watch, not a smart watch. The face options are much nicer, with one that tracks your steps and heart rate right on the dial as well as giving you the weather and time. The band is the ugliest thing I have ever seen, but that was easily solved by ordering a new band from a third party. The floral painted leather is cute and makes the watch more sophisticated. At the end of the day I still have 60% battery life. The one complaint I have is that Samsung Health is not compatible with Noom for uploading workouts and steps.

works great
it does everything it says its supposed to, I have had mine for about a year, and have no complaints, I use it for swimming and such so the ip68 water resistant rating works, it tracks workouts and such, the OS could use a bit of work, but it totally does everything it says it should do

Easy and fun
Easy to use. Fun to wear. The included bands make it easy to fit anyone. I had no problem with set up or connecting it. I love that it helps track my health. It makes investing in yourself fun and something you want to do. The app and watch faces are fun to use.

This particular watch was a God Send
I fell in love with this watch as soon as I seen it, It is it is one of the best watches I have ever owned it has worked from the beginning even now I have this watch Listed as one of my best purchases I have brought from Amazon.

Great watch for small wrists
I love this watch. It was exactly what I was looking for. I have a small wrist and wanted a watch with built in GPS and music storage. I tried a bunch before buying this and they were just too big. This watch has all the functions i need and I am super happy with my purchase.

What we expected
I liked that it was received in almost new condition despite that it was used which we did expect it would be but pleased it was only slightly used and works great! Nice that it was cheaper for being used of course but still used hardly

So glad I bought!
I love this watch! I bought it for the pedometer but actually love the ability to read texts especially when getting to my phone isn't convenient! Another great feature is that it syncs my workout info to my phone. Battery life is great, used it for 15 hours today and still at 78 percent battery life!

Nice watch
The watch looks nice. It is a bit small for my taste, but I prefer to go for the latest product. A lot of options you can set to your preferences. Floors count is a bit off, but for me it is not an issue. Steps count is pretty accurate. A lot of watch faces. It charges very quickly. I would buy it again.

Amazing Watch!!!
I love everything about this watch. I find new things it does daily. I've owned it for 3 months.
The battery started out lasting few days but I have to charge it nightly. Which is ok bc I do have a lot coming and going through this watch

Really liked the product but it had a few bugs when I got it.
It came in not so great packaging and when I first powered the watch on it was on the Greyscale mode and I had to disable it also it didn't come with a user manual which was a disappointment. The watch is great now and does everything it advertised.

great for exercise and lots of other functions, wish it had better battery life
love my watch, looks good. lots of faces to choose from. encourages me to do my walking and make sure to reach my step goal/ i get my messages and other updates just fine. the Battery Life is pretty poor, so i charge at night, and lose out on sleep tracking :( overall i'm happy though.

Can't answer calls with watch. NO speaker!
I really liked the look of the watch, the apps, the watch face selections and the setup was easy, just majorly disappointed when I realized it doesn't have a speaker. Without a speaker you can answer phone calls, but not speak without your phone nearby to fully answer the call or make one. The watch tells you to get your phone when you answer it with the watch.

Wish battery lasted longer
So far I love this watch, except the battery life. It doesn't seem to last as long as my last fitness tracker I had. Love the reminder to move every hour!! Very stylish, and can't wait to see what all other things it can do.

 Repeat customer.
I love this watch and upgraded over the years. So far, I've had this one for a year and a half. I bought it for it's stylish look with Google Play apps. Fossil doesn't really have good instructions on how to use all the features but you figure it out over time. I like that it tracks my sleep and fitness stats. It also takes calls and I can go swimming with it.

I keep my watch on extended mode but if I use it a lot, I have to do a daytime charge as sleep tracking uses battery life over night. I've only had to do this recently.

The only issue with the phone is that it won't download Instagram or Facebook images to use as a background so I use Pandora and it uses the last songs cover art. I emailed Fossil support and it's due to a Facebook/Instagram upgrade. They said they would email me when it's fixed.

Absolutely LOVE!!
I was looking to buy a smartwatch and I was reading articles and reviews online about different watches, and I had smartwatches in "my cart" on alot of different online stores but I kept coming back to this smartwatch and I am so glad I did. I absolutely LOVE this watch! I am able to receive all of my text messages and calls on the watch. It tracks my heart rate throughout the day, notifies me when my next meeting or calendar event is, and allows for me to use a lot of my apps right from my wrist. I also love the design. The screen is big but I feel it is just the right size I didn't want a small screen. I also really like the band that this watch came with as all my other watches (that are not smatchwatches) have a bracelet like band. So the one I choose was the silver mesh. I like that the band is interchangeable and as long as the new band is 22mm you are able to switch out them out. I do not do a lot of heavy workouts so I cannot speak on how well the workout app is (but there is a workout app included on the watch) but I do walk a lot and I like that it counts my steps. As other reviewers mentioned this watch does not come with instructions on how the functions work however I am an android user and so I was able to navigate the watch as if I would with my phone. However there are a ton of you tube videos on each function of the watch even one on how to adjust the mesh band. The watch was super easy to pair with my phone. I have received many compliments on my watch since purchasing it. I wear this watch everyday and absolutely love it! I would highly recommend!!

Looks beautiful and works great!
This watch is so pretty, it looks very luxurious. I have gotten so many compliments! But, I got it to track my fitness. I'm not really sure if it is accurately tracking everything, but it is at least handy for keeping track of workouts and steps. The stopwatch function is also useful while exercising. I haven't used a ton of apps but it's great for looking at notifications and seeing if it's necessary to pick up your phone. I'm not a huge fan of the messaging app, it's a little delayed but I'm glad to be able to reply to messages on the go. The battery life is so-so. Make sure you change the settings so it at least lasts throughout the day, I don't really need it last longer than 8~12 hours and it does. It's exactly what I was looking for, fashion and function. It's responsive and quick but it occasionally freezes for a few seconds. The price is really good and I don't think I would have been happier with any other watch! If it's too big, then it's only $5~10 to remove a link or you can do it yourself.

Worth it!!!
So this is my first smart watch and I love it! It looks like a typical watch but you can customize what watch face (analog, digital, with a theme etc) you like and easily change it with your mood, outfit or season. It's super easy to navigate and figure out, and you can customize the type of notifications you want to receive on your phone (ex: I opted to not know when I get social media notifications but wanted emails and texts). Convinient when doing things since you can take a phone call through the watch and I find people hear me better than being on my phone's speaker. You can also pause music or tv shows that you play through your phone. Easy to sink up to my gallaxy (my partner has an iphone and also had no issue). Battery lasts a full day for me and I check it frequently, get many notifications and have the typically light settings. I get complements on it all the time. I chose the black band and rose gold but notice it also has a light silver circle on the inside which really allows me to wear it with any type of jewelry or outfit making it very easy to coordinate with anything. Definitely worth it. The watch is super secure, comfortable, and you can tell is a good quality watch. The size gets getting used to and a couple tries of adjusting the band to find the right fit for my wrist, but is actually the perfect accent piece, fits comfortably and looks super nice, a lot nicer than the apple ones I think.

 Great smartwatch!
I had an old LG Urbane which was slow and like a big dinosaur on my wrist. I wanted something that was a little sleeker and fast, and this watch fits the bill. Battery life is good. It makes it through the day without a charge. My only disappointment is that Fossil is supposed to have been rolling out an update to fix the texting since the beginning of the year. You cannot use the Google assist for sending text. You can receive text and respond to them. I did a work around by downloading my texting app, Messages, onto my watch and can send texts that way. Hopefully they will fix this issue soon. Love that this watch has a speaker! You can ask Google anything and she will respond. I have not used this watch for phone calls yet, but I'm thinking you would not want to be in a crowded room. All in all, I am very pleased with this watch!

Great update!!!
Great update!!! I previously had the Gear S2 which came out some time ago in 2016. So yeah.....from 2016 to 2021 a huge time gap and update!!!! I preserve my battery life due to the previous watch not having a decent time of usage. So I have it on custom mode most of the time. AND.....i update my watch band and swapped it out for a alternate that i purchased on the Etsy app for 60$. Which I'm loving the new look!!! I'm all smiles??.

Awesome watch
Best watch I’ve owned yet. Battery, at first, didn’t last long because I was using the watch like we all use anything NEW... I couldn’t stop playing on it. But once I got the hang of the apps and setup the watch to how I want it, the battery life was a day n a half before needing a charge. So for those who says the battery life suck, stop playing with your watch as much and you will see that it will last over a day before you need to charge it. After all, it is just a WATCH! It’s not as big as your phone with the battery life of it. I love this smart watch.

 Super cute, not super compatible with iPhone.
I love the look of this watch. It definitely does the basics that I want it to do. I can read notifications, it tracks my steps, I can check the weather or set a timer. However if you have an iPhone (which I do) just get an Apple Watch. I was mislead before getting this and thought I would be able to respond to texts or answer calls. You can’t. If you have an Android-go for it, this watch is amazing and it’s super cute. But if you have an iPhone and you want the text or call features, this isn’t the one for you. Wish I would’ve realized before I asked for it for a Christmas present, but now I’m making the best of it and I really do enjoy it. It’s hard to text on a tiny watch anyways, be it Apple Watch or this one, so the notifications are nice. Let’s you know if u need to go grab ur phone or not. And it is very cute I love the look and I love all the different watch faces you are able to use. But sorry, for iPhone users, apple just does it better.

Elegant & luxurious but kept disconnecting from my phone
I absolutely love the look of this watch. Not only is it elegant, it’s luxurious at its finest. I have an iPhone and knew that it wouldn’t give me the full experience as an Android would. I was totally ok with just being able to see texts messages or see who was calling without being able to answer on the watch. I just got the watch a couple of days ago but returned it today. A couple of issues I had: when charging the watch got very hot, made me a bit nervous. Once I had a good amount of charge around 48% I was fidgeting with it, pairing it to my phone and setting the watch face I liked. Literally a matter of several minutes and the watch’s battery depleted to 13%. The watch kept disconnecting from my phone. I’d try to reconnect it but it would say the phone wasn’t in range when it was right next to it. Kind of sad because I really liked the look of it.
Some of the cool features I liked: even with the iPhone you can see your texts messages and phone calls, just can’t respond. A dozen or more watch faces to chose from, even his newest styles that have come out. Kind of sad it didn’t work out for me.

Best Looking Smart Watch Available
I just received my MK Access Sofie Smart watch (in rose gold). Let me first say that the design of this watch does not disappoint! Right from the start you get a beautifully crafted watch. It has a great band and the face is what you'd expect from any regular watch, but only better as you have so many options to personalize it as you'd like. Secondly, the watch capabilities are fabulous! I love the alerts to notifications. It also doesnt have a speaker, but I don't mind (I feel odd walking and talking to my wrist). Although it is equipped with a microphone to easily respond to texts and messages. Set up was easy for any tech savvy person. I am surprised by the battery life (so far) I've only had it for the day and I've played on it and messed with it most of the day. The battery hasn't been horribly drained. I did have to have it sized, but a trip to our local Fossil store and they popped the links out easily and got the right fit (all for no cost!) As of now, I couldn't be happier with this purchase! Absolutely, the best looking smart watch I've seen. It's thinner and not as bulky as in had envisioned it would be. Very happy a

Very Fabulous and beyond any smart watch I've had
I recently received this watch as a birthday gift and didn't even realize that it was a smart watch. I have found this watch so beyond useful and amazing. It is very much like the apple smart watch, of which I used to own one, but this is so much better. it messages and tracks your steps and alerts your message when you receive them. like any other watch. But I've been able to respond to facebook messages, instagram and even send e-mails with this. I love it. You can choose different faces for your watch to display what you need or just have a classic look for it. Now if you do not have it on battery save then yes it will drain quickly as most smart watches do. However, I have had mine of battery save for the past five days and it is just now getting close to the point where I need to recharge it. Absolutely love this watch and highly recommend it.

I love my watch
I wrestled with myself about buying this watch due to many of the reviews. I was worried about the battery life but I do not have an issue. Yes I have to charge it at night but I am OK with that. I use it daily from about 6:30am to 6:30pm and I still have about 40% battery life left. I am in love with the easy change faces. I love my watch to match:) I am happy I bought it. The only issue I have is the scratching of my band. It has scratches on the bottom where it hits my desk but it is not horrible. I wish there was an exact replacement for this band available to buy. I do not like the mesh MK band that is available.

But I like the watch
I am still learning all there is to know with Android Wear... But I like the watch. And we have Android Phones and it is connecting and working nicely with the Android Wear app.
Definitely a large watch, but it does a lot. There are options to not have it NOT constantly display the time if you are worried about battery use. And you can get other apps through google play to even more watch faces than are standard with watch. But this watch offers may different watch faces from the start, which are customizable. One feature I opted for which I particularly like is that when my watch is close by, I no longer have to constantly unlock my phone to use it. Watch not nearby, then it immediately asks me for my fingerprint or password.

Nice to have a watch that does not look like the man's average smart watch.

 I love this watch.
As someone who has had about every smartwatch there has been since the start of them, I feel as though I know what I'm talking about and looking for.
This watch gives me all those things.
The battylife could be better but I won't complain too much as it was the same with other watches like the Samsung, Moto and the apple did have a little better battery I'll admit.

But!! This can be used with an adroid phone but I don't recommend it. In fact I see a lot a bad reviews on many smart watches that are not apple watches blaming the watch for not staying connected to the app.
THIS IS NOT ANY WATCHES FAULT. This os wear problem with a iphone and any watch that isn't apple.
Remember that.

 Beautiful, great battery life, easy to set up and use.
This watch is beautiful, I had to resize it significantly. I stopped by a jeweler to have it done, but they weren't available and I wanted to wear it asap. I was able to find a helpful YouTube video that made it easy for me to do (with help). I am very happy with the esthetics. This watch is stunning. I also find the user interface simple to use and self explanatory. I was concerned about battery life after reading other reviews but am more then satisfied wit it's longevity. I have owned an apple watch for 3 years and this battery easily doubles that. Overall, I am more then satisfied.

 I Love This Watch
It was exactly what I was hoping it would be. Battery doesn't last very long when you are constantly messing with it, but its really to charge and you can easily charge and wear it at the same time if you're at home or at work and still want to be wearing it. I Love being able to change the face as I please and add or take away a bunch of neat features from the screen!

 Love ?? this watch
Watch is beautiful works great ! Oh and it does work for iPhone just have to add the app wear os and follow the instructions works great for me love it want to thank my husband for buying me this beautiful watch love you ??

 A Great Timex Metropolitan Activity Tracker Watch
This Timex Metropolitan+ watch is one gorgeous piece of workmanship. I switched the band to a black one, which made it that much more beautiful to me. And it performs perfectly, just as I read about and expected. Another thing I like about this activity watch is that I don’t even need my smartphone with me in order for it to keep track of my steps and distance, along with my sleep activity and the percentage of the goals I set within the app. I just come home, turn on the Bluetooth and sync it to my smartphone ‘Timex Connected’ app - it downloads all the results. Not only does the hour and minute hand glow in the dark – it’s an Indiglo too. And I don’t need to continually charge it every night like other activity watches – the Timex Metropolitan+ has a battery that is supposed to last well over a year. I have the Samsung Note 5 smartphone and it all works perfectly with it. Timex has really outdone itself here. I love this watch! Bravo, Timex!

So far, so good
First impressions...
It's big. Bigger than I expected, and heavy. But, smooth and surprisingly un-clunky.
It's pretty for a fitness tracker - classic and easy to dress up. I added a more feminine stainless band.
It synced to my app each time so far. Fingers crossed it stays working.
It does track sleep. The app isn't quite a beefy as my old Garmin used, but it will do. It *seems* to be accurate tracking steps also.
The indigo feature is fantastic.
Love that it doesn't need charging and has limited features- just what I want and nothing I don't.
Overall, quite pleased with it so far. Will update if anything changes

For the 2021 buyer
I hesitated buying this due to the mixed reviews on the app (last updated 2018) and low battery complaints. At the end of the day though, I didn't need a perfect app because the appeal to me was being able to see my steps in analog form

I'm happy I bough it! The watchface itself is nice although I did immediately switch out the band for a higher quality leather band (20mm BTW)

The app has posed no issues whatsoever and I wear this everyday! Something I was never able to do with fitness trackers because I hate charging daily

Great Watch!!!
Great Watch! It's simple, pretty, and so far reliable. I got the white face with leather band. The hands glow in the dark as well as the push of the main button and get an indigo back lighting. Second hand (which a lot of watches don't have). The big red hand shows steps . As well as the bottom Rt. Shows the % of your goal. You do not pair it to your phone to make it sinc to the app. That also saves your phone battery!!! I'm really happy with the watch. I have been a timex person for over 60 hrs. I've had 4 fitbits. 3 broke and replaced by Fitbit and one flew out of the band never to be seen again. I am very active. Riding horses and bathing horses, running , biking. Living is HOT sunny Fl. is hard on electronics. I've had this for a few weeks now and it still looks fairly new.

Great looking watch, I got a silicone orange and black band and it looks spectacular.
This watch is very easy to set up and work with every day to keep track of your steps and activity great app that comes with the watch to set up on your phone is very easy highly recommend it over some of the more expensive watches out there this does everything that you really wanted to do

Great buy
I’ve always love timex. This watch didn’t disappoint. Great Watch. The slogan was “ timex takes a licking and keeps on ticking” is correct. In the short time I have had this watch, I’ve put it through hell and it still works!

Their old slogan is new again...
Actually very impresses with this watch. Although it doesn't have a heart rate monitor capability...i havent has any issues with it, or the app...Also nice that you can sync with Google fit app.
The watch is stylish...haven't put on another watch since it arrived (and I have A LOT of watches to choose from).

Looks like a grown man's watch
Really like the simplicity of this watch, it looks like a regular watch, and is waterproof! I used it on a recent Hawaiian vacation, and it performed like a champ. I replaced the leather band with a Barton quick release synthetic rubber band (get one! they're great) and wore the watch in the pool, snorkeling and at the water park. We walked anywhere from 5-7 miles a day just touring and playing. Highly recommended. Only negative is that I wish it had the date. Oh btw, I own both the Apple Watch and Motorola 360 - I'm wearing the Timex more bc of the waterproofness (is that a word?).
