This was my first smart watch and I was uncertain if I would find it easy to figure out but it was very easy to set up and sync with my Android phone. There are numerous watch faces available and I found one that is large and enables me not needing my reading glasses to see the time (still need them sometimes for other functions but that speaks more to my 60+ eyes and is no reflection on the watch). I have been using it to track my gym workouts. I like to mix in a mixture of strength training with different types of cardio and the workout function on the watch provides a long list of possible activities to track. So far I am happy with the look and functionality of the watch but a little disappointed with the battery life. Unless I leave it on extended setting, which doesn’t provide the time without depressing the centre button, it barely makes it through the day without needing a charge.

Bought “used” from amazon warehouse deals , at a $130 discount. The watch is in near-impeccable condition aside from a very minor blemish on the dark metal housing. I will be monitoring the battery level for the next week or so, and will update my review if anything seems off. So far, it works great and is very snappy when compared to my old Wear24. I installed a mesh strap and bought a 4-pack screen protector for it so it will be in good hands. Will update if anything goes wrong.

This review is just for iPhone users. I use iPhone 7 and had an assumption that everything will work as expected but that isn’t the case. May be I did not do proper research before I bought this watch. However to ease out for iPhone users, I am letting my observation out. So people can know what they are going to get when they buy.
Features as of now:
1. Only notifies you that you got a message along with the sender’s name for apps such as Whatsapp, sms etc but you cannot reply or read the message from the watch.
2. You will get notified on who is calling with the name and the number, you can either choose to attend or reject, however you cannot speak using the watch.
Note: Just browsed the internet and came to know that the OTA update would hit us before the year end. This will enable us to make calls and attend the calls and speak using the watch. Until then we need to wait.
For android they have all liberty to use and no restrictions.
Now coming to the look of the watch and performance.
1. Watch looks stylish and cool.
2. Navigation is smooth and easy.
3. Notifications hit the phone without any lag.
Rest I will update once I start using. This is my first day. I will rate 5 stars once the proper update is pushed.
****************************************************
So as I mentioned before OTA update got pushed two weeks back. Now I am able to take calls and make calls using my watch.
Speaker is audible and mic is also good while I used my watch.
However, you need use Google fit app for fitness tracking as Apple Health app will not work well with this watch.
I have changed my stars from 3 to 5. Fossil did what they committed😊

The price is right and classy look. The battery life could be longer, but the watch’s battery life is typical for this type of product.
Very happy with the purchase. The only thing i would redesign is the extruding buttons. When bending your wrist upwards, the extruding buttons get pressed inadvertently. Google Assistant gets activated, but it is a minor nuisance. Overall, very pleased with this watch.

I got a defective product. The product is not booting up and it’s not even charging. I connected the charger and waited for a long time but I couldn’t see any charging indicator or any other sign on the display. The display is always blank. I ordered a brand new product and waited for nearly 10 days for the product and finally I got a defective product. Also the watch was covered with a lot of dust. It didn’t looked like a new product. I am really disappointing with the service and I am returning the product.

Tengo menos de 6 meses con muy poco uso y el aro metálico de carga se salió sólo. Ya no puede cargar. Este problema se reporta en muchos lugares por mucha gente y fossil solo da soporte si eres de EUA. NO TIENE GARANTIA EN MÉXICO.
Ya los contacte de todas las maneras, te contestan un par de emails pero en cuanto se dan cuenta del problema o que eres de México te dejan de contestar.
Es casi imposible volver a pegar el aro, aparte de que tiene una posición precisa, se requiere de cierta presión para mantener el aro en el fondo. No he podido repararlo ni cobrar garantía.
No desperdicien su dinero.

Really I didn’t even wanted to give 2star but this rating is only for looks otherwise watch is very confusing sometime it connect the call sometime not Google assistance is working but not speaking no guide inside nothing is explained and for backup if u go it will give u 24 hours backup if not used heavily and if used heavily it will give 5-7 hours really wasted my money:(

It’s a great product don’t get me wrong and the design it’s fantastic, functionality wise It’s great too but it’s battery life is absolutely not acceptable for the price range of 400 Canadian dollars.
I only had this watch for 3 or 4 days now and I have to turn most features off so I can get by the day without the watch dying on me. What’s the point of a smartwatch when you have to turn more than half of its features so it doesn’t die on you. So with that said I’m probably going to be returning it.

Unfortunately I only owned this watch for three weeks before I had to sell it on my company’s “Buy and Sell” forum. The watch itself is beautiful, and WearOS is solid, but besides using the device as an everyday watch, I also had planned on using it for my fitness needs. I run and swim multiple times a week, and from what I had read online the Fossil Gen 5 should have easily met my needs. However, after my first run with Google Fit I discovered that this app (the default for running activities) does NOT track split/interval times. This should be a very basic requirement for any running watch. So, instead, I downloaded a number of different apps. First, Strava… but Strava only tracks runs if tethered to a phone, and I am not going to bring my phone with me on my runs. Over the course of many days I tried Nike Run Club, Ghostracer, MyRunning App, MapMyRun and Adidas Running, and either these apps did not use the watch’s built in GPS, or would inexplicably stop recording my run in the midst of the run!
In regard to the swimming, Google Fit does not have a swim tracker at all, so I had to download a couple of alternatives. Swim.com was the better of the two, but it did not do a great job of accurately counting my lengths, and then trying to stop the timer at the end of my swim was ridiculously complicated.
Something else I did not mention above, when I do run I like to listen to music. On my current watch (which I have gone back to) I can listen to my Spotify playlists, even when offline. The Spotify app on the Fossil Gen 5 does not have an offline option, so again, to listen to Spotify I would have to bring my phone with me. It does allow offline music from Google Music, but since that is not where my music lives, that did not do me any good.
So, in the end I had to sell the watch. It just did not work for me, but if you were looking for a great smartwatch, and the fitness aspects are not a priority, I would say the Fossil Gen 5 would be good for you. If, on the other hand, fitness tracking is important, I would look elsewhere.

The battery is absolute garbage. It’s unable to do everything it says it can while also lasting for over 8 hours. It’s an absolute shame to have such a neat gadget be so seriously hindered by battery longevity. I hate having to charge it multiple times in a day.
If I’m going to give credit where credit is due, it’s actually very well made. I accidentally dragged it across a buildings stucko siding while working and it was blemish free. Not a scratch, quite amazing, and so it doesn’t require a screen protector. It’s also quite water proof and can exist in the shower with you.

It’s an ok watch but there are several flaws. Connectivity is spotty even with an iPhone, bluetooth is bluetooth we should not be having these issues. battery life diminishes quickly and the watch can barely stay alive for a day. It’s certainly not worth the money, a better price point for it to be bang for the buck would be $150 less. You can’t text on it, and the speaker/mic is quite low in volume. Not the worse $300 I’ve spent but also not getting my money’s worth with the issues I’ve had.

Works really well!! Was not expecting a wsmartwatch to be as “fluid” and fast as this. Really happy with! Look is rock solid, and the matte finish of the stock silicone band is really comfy to wear all day long. Charging is fully done within an hour with the original quick charging cable.

The watch is amazing! But the only downfall is the speaker, the speaker cracks when I take calls on the watch and the other person is barely audible. Is there a fix? Cause this is the only thing that’s
Extremely bad about it
