This is a great watch... the questions asked here are unfortunate

I was just about ready to spend over $300 on a smart watch because I am kinda hooked on that stuff. I've had all the FitBits and some off-name brands and have spent close to $300 in the past before the screens had color and the idea was still a star-trek concept. This watch does everything those top smart watches do (except the SIM card feature, but I don't need that) and does it for half the price. AND you get to have those features while looking classy. I've always loved my Fossil watches in the past and when I heard they were jumping into the smart-watch game I had to look into it. After all, I really didn't want to display some rubber arm-computer that could break my fall if my parachute didn't open. The ONLY downside that I've seen thus far (only 10 days in with constant use) is the battery life. I have to charge at least once every 18 hours with most of the features on. I still rarely turn on GPS or NSF and only have one or two of the other battery-drainers on but it does go fast. If you can get over that, this is the watch for you too. Never any problems syncing, menus are fairly easy to follow, every feature that was promised works (first time ever!) and the look of a classic timepiece... that you can also order pizza on. What a time we live in

Got this for my husband. He loves it and wears it daily. Because it has a touchscreen, it does need charged every day. Other than that, he loves the way it works and looks.

I use this watch all day everyday. At work at home if I'm going out it's my primary watch because it's not huge and dresses up and down easily. The band is comfortable and rarely gets hot or makes my wrist sweat and holds up to a beating pretty well so far. The watch it's self has just about ever feature imaginable and you can do things from control spotify to look at maps to make calls to take notes. It. Connects super easy and has great eas of use and nothing is hard to find or overwhelming. The battery life is also amazing you can control it so many ways you can have it set to daily charge or every other day or do a extranded plus or have it to where it only shows time and can last forever and the charging is insanely fast. The price is a bit high but it is a smart watch that pretty much is like another phone on your wrist so if you can get it on sale like I did then it is more than worth the money!

Great watch! Lets Talk About Battery Life.

Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2022

The watch is perfect. Really good for any and all activities. however a lot of comments were saying the battery life was small and never really lasted. in which I can say that the watch advertises the words of "Multi day use depends on usage" If your checking it every second or keeping the screen on then the battery is gonna plummet. you have to try it for a few days and get the feel of it. Another solution to this problem is to set it to essential mode. i figured out that that will usually last you a day and a half. the daily will only last you a day at most if your lucky. finally there is a custom mode which gives you the features you need and gives me a reliable daily charge. SOMETHING THEY DONT MENTION, it only takes one hour to charge which is fairly fast. so if the battery really is the problem plug it in when you eat or when you shower TIMES YOU DONT NEED IT. and it should last you the day in daily. that is my review on the battery problem.

A watch with common functions

Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2022

Color: Smoke, BrownVerified Purchase

It has great compatibility, and it works as intented. The concerns i have is about its battery life which is basically none, it can't even last a day without you putting in to charge, which is obnoxious sometimes, sleep tracking is amazing, but is a pain in the back to sync that up with your phone. Construction quality is very good.

10/31/22: I realized that the battery life will depend on how many sensors you have active and which watchfaces you have. For some reason some watchfaces are battery-intense, despite looking for the same digilog watchfaces. I've managed to use this smartwatch up to 2 days w/out charging. I love having this watch despite its battery issue.

Notifications and apps have been very responsive after some updates. And by the time i bought it, it was reasonably affordable.

Good watch for the money

Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2022

Color: Smoke, BrownVerified Purchase

I've had this watch for a little over a month and so far it's been working pretty good. It's a beautiful watch that definitely gets the job done. However there are a lot of things I feel like could be improved on. The battery life is not great. I would even say borderland bad. It barely makes it through a day with minimal conservative use. When in power save mode it's not to much better and limits the use of the watch. It's nice that it charges fast. About an hour from almost dead but I wish I didn't have to charge it so often and could confidently rely on it to last me atleast a full day. That is my biggest complaint. One other is that the tile function is limited. There is a set list of tiles you can apply which is a big misstep in my opinion. Most apps that you would like euick and easy access to arnt available as tiles so you have to go to the main app list. It's not a huge deal but I don't see why they can't be tiles. Other wise it's a nice watch that can get the job done. I would say worth it especially if you can get it on sale.

Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2021

I work on a loud machine floor. I bought this so it would vibrate on my wrist for calls and texts so I would actually know I had one. It does that. I had previously bought a cheap 30 dollar smart watch which was a nuisance. Knock off brand so eventually the software wasn't supported and it stopped syncing the time from my phone. Also, it would always answer calls on my watch. I couldn't tell it to answer calls on my phone, so I would have to manually turn off the Bluetooth to take the call on my phone. The point is, buy a name brand watch whose software will stay supported. This is a nice watch, nice heavy feel but not too heavy, looks good, functions properly. I'm sure more expensive smart watches would be a little smoother when cycling through screens, but you'd also pay quite a bit more.
