Best looking Wear OS brand you can buy. Got this for myself to replace the previous Gen 3 I sold. I always thought “I don’t NEED the HR sensor, NFC payments, or built-in GPS” that the Gen 3 didn’t have. Well, you don’t need it, but it does come in handy lol. Sometimes certain luxuries are cool to have.Being a Fossil, it’s a beautiful watch of course. It’s comfortable, somewhat light, and no bulkier than a regular watch. The faces Fossil provides are cool as well.For those wondering about battery life, if you have any experience with Wear OS (Android) watches you’ll know that it takes a few days to a week for battery life to stabilize. Any watch I’ve bought, including this one, took about 3 days. Going from having ~50% at the end of the day to having ~70%.Amount of usage matters though.The Good:-Fossil knows how to make a well designed watch.-Accurately tracks activities, even on running on the treadmill.-Having the HR sensor, NFC, and GPS built-in makes for full use of…
Battery is the worst part of the watch Battery is the worst part of the watch, long story short .- 100% charge at 6 A.M by 10 A.M battery percentage is 20% with out touching it .
Nice watch – disappointing battery life I currently now have 4 smartwatches (Including this one-LG Wear, Zenwatch 2, HUAWEI 1st gen) and this watch is one of the larger smartwatches for sure. It has a bit of heft to it as well, lighter than the Zenwatch 2, heavier than the rest. The bands are a standard 22mm so you can easily replace them with something you like better (I’m looking for a blue band that matches the housing). The screen is completely flush with the side bezels – so this can definitely scratch easily if you brush into things. It also makes it difficult, if not impossible to be able to use a screen protector. The 3 side buttons I initially thought were gimmicky and unnecessary, however they’ve become quite useful. The center button can be pressed, long pressed and is also a scroll wheel. (Scroll wheel has gotten a bit “sticky though) The 2 others can be pressed or long pressed and can be reprogrammed for different functions. Everything is responsive and acts the way it seems it should.This upgraded to…
