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 decided to replace my Samsung S3 with this watch mostly because it looked so much better than a boring black hulk. I was worried about going to WearOS because I've read many reviews dissing it. I'm glad to say I'm very happy with WearOS - so much for reviews. For my purposes WearOS is better. It's fast and easy to configure to make it just the way I like it. It works perfectly.As for the watch itself, you can tell it was made by a well known watch company - good quality and great features.

No wonder why they have so many articles devoted to how to get more life out of the battery; they obviously realize how terrible it is. I am not trying to do anything outrageous with my watch. I am just trying to use it the same way that I used my Huawei for the past 2.5 years and my Moto 360 for 2.5 years before that (aside from the fact that the Moto didn't have a speaker).I knew going into it that this battery capacity is smaller (310 mAh) than my old Huawei (420 mAh) but I didn't expect to have to charge this new watch three times a day, one of those times being when I wake up in the morning because it goes from 100% to less than 60% while I am sleeping. And I didn't expect the battery to be even less than my 2014 Moto 360 (320 mAh)!But now it makes sense to me why the screen is so dim - to save juice, but I can't see it on auto-brightness mode at all. If I manually increase the brightness, goodbye battery. So, unless I find some settings or adjustments I am overlooking, goodbye to this watch. It's pretty and it's fast, but it isn't usable for more than several hours.

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.
