Customers like the ease of use of the wearable computer. They mention that it is easy to use, and the app makes it easy to set up. They also appreciate the convenience of using the watch to control their music and podcasts, as well as the water resistance and the nice interface. The watch connects easily to their phone, and some find it convenient to simply glance at it to see if the email or text has arrived. The face is clear and easy to read, and it is a much more useful and versatile watch than when it first came out.

Customers have mixed opinions about the battery life of the wearable computer. Some mention that the battery is easily good enough to last the entire day and even longer if they use all the features, while others say that it is a drain and will run dry in four hours or less using the same settings. Some customers also mention that there is 'battery customization mode' to let them use it as little as possible, while still getting the full day's worth of battery life.

Customers are mixed about the performance of the wearable computer. Some mention that the speed of the Snapdragon 3100 makes WearOS function smoothly, with no noticeable lag when they use it. They like the watch's functionality, including its ability to work well with texting, email, calendar, and weather. Others say that it has limited functionality and does not work consistently. They say, for example, that it does not consistently answer on the watch when you press answer on it, and vice versa. Some customers also mention that it can't do certain things out of the box without 3rd party apps, and that it just won't turn on.

"...Sending quick SMS/email replies is simple, either with the suggestions or (amazingly) the tiny keyboard...." Read more

"...(IF memory serves correctly) but even with that, Wear OS was still sort of slow and glitchy. The 1GB on the Gen 5 definitely makes a difference...." Read more

"...WearOS allows you to connect with your smartphone quickly, easily. The connection seems to be very stable.5...." Read more

"...It was very glitchy and many of the features flat out didn’t work and it couldn’t stay connected...." Read more

Customers have mixed opinions about the connectivity of the wearable computer. Some mention that it has great connectivity from a Google phone, and seamlessly works with all their google stuff. However, others say that it sometimes randomly disconnects from Bluetooth and cannot stay connected. This is serious, as development virtually requires WiFi to synchronize data between the development computer and the wear computer.

"...glitchy and many of the features flat out didn’t work and it couldn’t stay connected...." Read more

"...Set up was easy, painless on my Motorola Z4 phone. It stays connected, never drops off bluetooth. I didn't buy it to use the workout functions...." Read more

"...This smart watch has been great only downfall is the charger doesn’t always connect to your watch to charge...." Read more

Customers are mixed about the value of the wearable computer. Some mention that the hardware is pretty much unbeatable for the price, and the Assistant integration has been great. However, others say that for $295 plus tax, these are not worth it, and overall, it's not the best watch. The design is but this thing is made cheap, and it has abysmal battery life. The watchband is trash.

"...notable pops up, but for now I'll say that this was a very good choice at the price point." Read more

157 customers mention83 positive74 negative

Customers are mixed about the charging of the wearable computer. Some mention that it charges fast, while others say that it doesn't charge or turn on. The charger is a weird proprietary thing, and it's difficult to remember to charge it.

"...The watch charges fast. Real fast. I was at 58% yesterday and I set it on the charger before I went to wash up for bed...." Read more

"...The charging wire does not come with a charging block. Instead, you have to plug the USB-A end of it into a computer or other USB outlet...." Read more

"...full charge with the ambient display and BT on, however the charger works very quickly - popping on the charger for even a few minutes can add..." Read more

"...Charging is very difficult. The charging pad snaps to the back of the clock, but 9 times out of 10 it doesn't start charging...." Read more

So far a great watch
5 Stars
So far a great watch
I've had this for just under a week now and so far I really like it. My only legit complaint is the knobs and buttons on the side of the watch frame. I wish they were flat, I find that I accidentally long press the google assistant button a lot when I have to bend my wrist for more than a second. This hasn't been enough for me to return the watch though. I've just ended up pushing it up on my wrist a little higher and it seems to have helped. Additionally, the wrist straps are incredibly easy to swap. There's just a little silver nub where the band connects to the watch on the underside, you have to slide and hold it and the band comes out. Makes for incredibly easy changing between sport bands and nicer leather or metal bands for more formal situations. I took them both off and put them back on in less than a minute.Now for the big stuff -- I'll get right to it first and foremost since it is mentioned in a lot of reviews. The battery...**For anyone claiming to have terrible battery right out of the box, I suggest installing all the updates and doing a full overnight charge first. Battery performance was a little wonky during setup and while downloading and installing the updates, but after the first night it's been great. If you still have trouble then I suggest returning it or contacting Fossil for support for defective battery. ***BATTERY LIFE - I've customized some of the features, but for the most part they're all on. I've only turned off the sound and the ability to answer and take calls on the watch. I've never had to do take a call on my watch and I just see it as an irrelevant feature personally. Additionally, I don't have the screen set to "always on" or "touch to wake" and instead use "tilt to wake". I start my day at 6:30a with 100% watch battery and arrive home about 5p every day and haven't fallen below 60% battery. This is with the features below on and with normal use by replying to texts, tracking walks with GPS, setting timers and alerts and occasionally using the google assistant.I have the following all turned on 100% of the time:-GPS (only activates while tracking exercise)-Wifi - always on and connected to my phone when not in bluetooth range-Cloud backup-Heart rate monitoring (set to measure HR every 10 minutes all day)-Google Fit SyncingWater resistance - According to the Fossil website, this watch is 3 ATM rated water resistance which means you can shower, wash your hands, get sweaty, etc without worrying. The 3 ATM rating means you should (in theory) be able to submerge your watch in water while swimming up to a depth of 100 feet. I personally don't know if I want to test this, but I have gotten it wet while washing my hands and its been fine.It's got a little bit of weight to it, so coming from a samsung gearfit that was rectangle and very light, it's taken some getting used to with the weight and round shape. It is a solid watch though.The screen is excellent, I've used it in a variety of lighting, including high-noon direct sunlight and the screen brightens up and it's perfectly readable. If you have bigger fingers, some of the buttons can be a little annoying to tap, but overall I've not had any major issue with the touch screen.The silicon strap is comfortable and has many notches for the perfect fit. As I said above, also incredibly easy to swap between the sport bands and a nicer leather or metal band.In conclusion, I was worried a little bit about getting a round watch and I had been keeping my eye out for a square option, but I haven't found any with Wear OS support (this was important to me for fitness tracking with google Fit). I'm glad I went with this option though because the watch looks great and I can get a nicer band to wear to more formal functions.
Thank you for your feedback

I am writing this review after using the watch for 25 days on a regular basis
+ve
* looks are subjective but it is more like a traditional watch and matches with almost all outfits
* easy to swap watch bands
* the os till date has not hanged and is smooth
* charhing time from 0 to 100% is about an hour which is pretty good

-ve
* this is a strictly 1 day watch so need to charge everyday and that too in custom mode.
If daily mode is used it is a strictly 15 hr watch
* sometimes the watch just refuses to connect to the internet. This it seems is an OS issue.
* sometimes messages just do not give the vibration feedback. Restarting solves the problem

Reviewed in India on December 8, 2019
To start with the watch i recieved got it in a day's time, but the delivery package was weird 😂
For a small watch they packed it in a big carton as big as the ones used to store mangoes.🤣

My requirements were - The watch should be supported by Google,
Should have functions like a Speaker to recieve calls and call someone,
and should be able to play music,
Also should have Speech to text feature in it. Also have google assistant in it,
Never wanted Bixby hence did not go for a samsung gear.
I dont like wearing my watch while working out and find it distracting hence never searched for a Fit watch.

So i suggest prior to buying or investing your money , make a list of your requirements and see if you actually need it or not.

Pros about the watch-
Call Quality - perfect.
wifi Bluetooth Connections - Great - found no issues.
looks Rich and quite big.
Get an 8Gb storage in it and can store music, Also download playstore apps for it which i loved although its all due to WEAR OS.
Google assistant works smoothly in it.
at 1st it had some glitches so i had to reset the watch and after that it's now working fine.
Its like a phone on your hand simple.

Cons -
Battery life - that's a little too harsh and drains quite quickly. but that's if your apps installed are running, or the other features are kept on.
The firmware- got a software update instantly but found that there's a minor slowdown there in the fluidity of the watch interface but nonetheless it hardly is noticeable.

Other than this i found it to be perfect and worth it's money.

if you have the money go for it, dont think twice.

Samsung gears offer much lesser festures in this price so think about it🙂
