Fossil Men's Gen 5 Garrett Stainless Steel Touchscreen Smartwatch with Speaker, Heart Rate, GPS, Contactless Payments, and Smartphone Notifications

so far, i have no negative reviews. im not that nit picky anyways.UPDATE- this watch is great. it synced up with my andriod perfectly. i did have to turn on all my notifications at first to get my email/text notifications, then the update came, had no issues and now i have tuned my notifications down to what i want to receive. IE email, text, nest.i haven't used the bluetooth phone yet but i will. i did install google maps with navi and that works just great.i've used the music player controls and those are as we expect them to be.OH it also tells time! how cool is that?! it looks good doing it.there are several battery modes, but as your go down the list you lose functionality, so i just leave it at daily, maybe if i get trapped in the desert or at a bacchanalia orgy and cant charge up for a few days i will reset them, which is always an option.i chose a cool watch face that automatically puts the watch face into "radium" mode, if your over 35 you know what im talking about, how watches used to glow in the dark back in the day. i like that. and i got to choose the 3 displays on the watch face i use the most, weather, date and battery.fitness - it has google fit, i use it to the extent that it helps me with pokemon and wizarding world, so that's about all i really know about it, it counts steps, heart rate, distance, you can do the sleep thing, but i charge the watch every night so i don't use that to the fullest extent.did i mention the watch looks really cool? well it does. just manly enough to be masculine but not so agro to be a G shock military type watch. fits with any wardrobe or occasion.you should buy this watch. unless you have an Iphone, then just get the Iwatch, because you will not have full functionality with this watch due to the whole apple vs google BS, and who wants to "hope and pray" they will learn to play with each other one day? not me. and really, life is to short to wait for others to affect your life? dig? great.

is anyone else have this huge battery drain by wear idle the watch literally just sitting and battery dies in 8 hours, and I have same exact watch gen 5 except Carlyle same insides and everything and that watch still has 60% battery when this one rans out.. it's crazy I applied for replacement, will update if it was just faulty watch..Update : replacement works good, battery is good, it was a faulty watch. so 5 stars for a truly beautiful watch

Previous smartwatch: Huawei SmartWatch 2This is a great watch for the price. The battery last about a day and some change. That's not mind blowing but it can get the job done.This watch by far has the best wearOS experience. The hardware is fast! The watch syncs up with Google fit 24/7. It knows when I'm pushing hard and gives me good feedback when I'm doing exercises. The pedometer isn't super accurate butit's only off by a few hundred steps. Also,I use Google fit for sleep monitoring and its simple interface makes the data easy to understand.Overall, it's not an applewatch but it's one of the better options for an Android user.

I am writing this mostly because your impressions depend on expectations. For me I was searching for Google android native clock with flexible settings and feature. After I turned off features I don't use they lasts for at least 36 hours, more like 48 for sure.They have a lot of potential and features available for download, but they can also waste your batter to zero: for example, if you have your music app show control buttons and album cover on your clock from smartphone (not music stored locally on the watch) it can drain batter in couple of hours from 80 to 10.I like display quality, so I can read notifications from phone even answer something simple (watch keyboard is too small for my fingers, but there is no surprise).

I love this watch. It's so sharp looking. The screen is really nice. With the latest update, wear os works great and is smooth.However watching all the reviews I thought for sure that the battery wouldn't last through the day but it does easily. I started out with very little on and slowly turned on all the features I wanted. I power it up at 8 am and by 10 pm it still has 40% left. I have the always on screen on and get all my notifications. I didn't turn the heart monitor on, I really don't need that. I have a fit bit it If want to see that.Bottom line is that this is a great watch. I'm very happy with it and the bonus is that I bought it when Amazon was selling it for the crazy low price of $140.

I wasn't expecting much, just hoping for a decent step counter and general-purpose 'show me the time' watch. Was considering Garmin's, as I was using a Vivofit4 prior - but they're certainly overkill for me right now. I've had it a few weeks and it's exceeded my expectations. It's responsive, functional and hasn't suffered really any of the negatives which made me hesitant to purchase initially ; it connected to my Pixel right away and went through WearOS updates w/o a problem. I got the gold one because apparently no one buys it and it was _much_ less than the other colors. Had to swap out the band because even after taking out most of the extra links, it was either too tight or too loose - but that's not a defect. Looking forward to the next update (in a week or so?) as it's supposed to improve what's already a great, albeit my 1st foray into, "smart"watch.

First off I loved the styling of this watch. I bought this watch knowing the battery life was bad but I thought it might be manageable. The watch recharged very quickly; however after a month I began to see a slight orange residue on the charging pad. I would clean it and it came back darker and darker. Then I noticed the watch was becoming more difficult to make good contact to get a charge and now I can’t get it to charge at all. I cleaned the back of the watch to help make the contact better and found the orange residue was coming from the contact rings on back or from the inside of the watch! The software for the watch was very difficult to master.The watch was constantly turning itself off and now the screen is dimly lit and I am unable to adjust the brightness. I hope Fossil works with me to return it.

Dura la pila todo el dia, el diseño para hombre está bien es algo tosco, tengo unos meses con el, aproximadamente 8 meses, y hace como 15 días batalle porque no quería cargar, pero se solucionó, en general si es recomendable

Beautiful watch but little bit difficult to get it connect with i phone rest everything is perfect loving it

Very well made watch, Classic styling. Battery life could be a little better, with everything turned on I was getting less than a day, adjusting a few settings has me getting almost 2 days now, although a charge only takes about 20-30 minsI would recommend to anyone.

Battery life too low with all features on

Personalmente ya había probado con varias fitness banda y tenía curiosidad por un smartwatch con todas las funciones. Después de varias semanas revisando blogs, páginas de reseñas, sitios especializados, etc., En donde todos concluían que Fossil es el mejor wearable en la plataforma Wear OS, me decidí por el Gen 5. Al momento de la compra, durante el Hot Sale, subió mucho de precio (de unos 5 mil a casi 8 mil) pero por un golpe de suerte, en una de las ofertas relámpago, lo conseguí en 4500.Las características técnicas son muy buenas: puedes sincronizar para recibir desde notificación de mails hasta llamadas (las cuales son de buena calidad, el altavoz podría tener un poco más de volumen pero en mi caso está bien), las apps en un smartwatch son más de las que creí (aunque creo que muchas no tienen mucho caso, a menos que fuera un dispositivo más manejable en tamaño, por ejemplo para las apps de mails y demás).Los elementos de monitoreo de frecuencia cardíaca, GPS independiente del teléfono (con Google music puedes bajar una playlist al reloj, sincronizar tus audífonos Bluetooth y listo, puedes salir sin teléfono) y de sincronizar apps como Google Fit o Bienestar (nueva en el sistema con la última actualización en agosto), tienes un aparato muy completo.En cuanto a estilo, es bastante más "rudo" y pesado que el Carlyle. La correa es metálica, agrega bastante peso al reloj, yo la sustituí por una de silicona, y bastante resistente pero que al mismo tiempo se ve muy elegante y de buen gusto. La personalización de las carátulas te da una gama muy amplia: sobrios y elegantes hasta vistosos, pasando por meramente prácticos y utilitarios.En mi caso, es una compra excelente, con una relación precio-calidad-beneficio extraordinaria.
