Because it’s a Fossil
First of all, the body, band and crystal are all Fossil and offers a smartwatch with style that is not boring and typical like an apple or Samsung. I love it. It’s rugged and comfortable to wear.It’s important to recognize that what is behind the crystal is quality hardware that is not uniquely Fossil. Rather, it’s a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor with plenty of memory and battery. Outside of the Fossil splash screen on startup this is where Fossil ends and a quality smartwatch begins.The operating system is Wear OS by Google. This is the same as that on Samsung and tweaked some by Fossil to work with the buttons on the watch and have Fossil watch faces.Having read the negative reviews prior to buying this watch and now having used it for a month, I’d like to mention some considerations that should be made before buying.Before buying any device ask,”how am I going to use it?” This is a fully functional device that does everything, and it comes with everything turned on and multiple apps that do the same thing. This is so you can discover all that functionality. That is definitely not the way to leave it. If you do, you’ll run into some confusing scenarios, battery drain and sluggish performance.So, I uninstalled the Nike apps. I’ve used MyFitnessPal from UnderArmor for years. I have it on my phone and links seamlessly with Google fit that comes part of the OS. I’ve deactivated Alexa. Google pay links with PayPal on my phone. I’ve uninstalled the 3rd party pulse, O2 and step counting apps. The native apps with WearOS work perfectly with the 3rd party apps on my phone. Media control works with Pi music player.I did have to install Outlook to see MY email but that was too easy.Now that I’ve had it for a month, I’m totally satisfied. It is only running what I need and everything else has been removed. As such the battery it’s lasting for days (3 at least).I make changes to it all the time and it’s safe to say all that I have now is a stylish arm piece that does exactly what I need, when I need and only what I need.Oh, don’t buy the cover glass recommended by Amazon. Get glad what is described as rounded or beveled. Though any 9H glass will protect the center of the screen is frustrating to tap the cut edge of the cover glass and have it spur and crack. Broke 3 glass covers in 2 weeks. The rounded edge is superior.

It’s beautiful.
Disclaimer: I’ve only had it one day, so this is an initial impression. I will update in the future if I run into problems or anything changes.So after setting it up, it required two updates to get up to date. Makes sense, it’s been a little while since this beautiful thing was released. I purchased a watch face called the Pixel Minimum face (as seen in the photo), and i just love it. The Fossil faces look sharp, and I might use them in some situations but in general this face is great. The sensors don’t seem to be the most accurate, but are close enough.The battery life – not so great, but it charges incredibly fast, 1% about every 10 seconds. If smart features aren’t required, they can almost all be disabled and should make it last quite a while as just a regular watch. Of course I hope the WearOS 3 update will better be able to handle the hardware and eek out better battery life, but only time will tell.The speaker is, lackluster, but it’s so tiny I wouldn’t expect it to play a concert. It’s good enough for google assistant to talk a bit. Calls on it are pretty hard to hear, but again, it’s a watch.. I’d probably prefer to use my phone anyway.I haven’t had a chance to use google pay with it yet, but I’m sure it works just fine.Initial conclusion: It’s a fast, fast charging, snappy and gorgeous work of art. It combines form and function in a comfortable to wear device. The battery, well, sucks, but considering how fast it charges it’s forgivable – for me at least. The built in speaker is nice to have, but won’t be something I use often to make or receive calls as it’s not quite loud enough to hear without holding it right up to my ear.I would recommend this for any tech enthusiasts who also like beautiful things. It’s not a dedicated health tracker, and shouldn’t be treated as such. It is a smart watch that fulfills all the functions a smart watch (In my humble opinion) should, with some extra frills around the edges.

A great watch, butâ¦
This watch has all the bells and whistles that most smart watches have. I especially love the feature of changing your face and selecting from hundreds of watch faces on the free app, (itâs called âfacesâ). The only flaw is its flimsy battery life. Mine never lasts the entire day. Itâs kind of a pain to have to recharge around dinner time when other smart watches last 2-7 days. Iâve been a Fossil customer for years so they were the obvious choice when I decided to go the smart watch route. I just wish I knew ahead of time about this one flaw. Iâm not sure why Fossil would not want to stay competitive with Apple and Garmin by simply installing the same battery quality as their competitors, but Iâm assuming it saves them money. Still a good watch, though. Just keep a charger with you like we all do with our phones and youâll be fine.
