Fossil Men's FB-01 Dive-Inspired Hybrid Smartwatch HR with Always-On Readout Display, Heart Rate, Activity Tracking, Smartphone Notifications, Message Previews

It is a line of watches that I absolutely adore. The phone shows all the information I am looking for, is able to ring my phone when I lose it, is able to control my music, accepts and declines calls, looks great, and has a great battery life. Although it is a little difficult to double tap to turn on the backlight, it is not extremely difficult. There was however one thing that caused me quite a bit of There can be times when the hands are not in alignment, so their timing gets messed up and any messages get lost. After returning one watch I was going to return another until I noticed the calibration feature in the profile - it was a relief to know there was one! The text follows Change the settings for your watch The text follows The calibration process. It wasn't until I learned this that I was disappointed. Here's hoping others won't have to deal with this.

Despite a smart watch from Huawei with a Wear OS operating system that has so many features and options, based on my own experience, there are two things that I find more practical about my watch Power and visibility of the device in the outdoors are important. Those two specific issues are almost completely eliminated by the Fossil Hybrid HR. This device has an amazing battery life and takes only one hour to recharge. In sufficient sunlight, it is easy to see outside. It is my policy to limit the notification features to the following Messages, weather, heart rate, steps, and sleep statistics can be found in emails, SMS messages, and text messages. When an incoming notification is received, I am alerted by a very noticeable vibration / buzz.

There are a few added bells and whistles that are nice to have, but they aren't game changers either way. In addition, if you are looking for simplicity and style in your watch, this could work well for you. It's a mostly decent phone and once you figure out how to use it, you aren't going to have any trouble. Firstly, I have to admit that my millennial son gave me a "buttons" lesson (two minutes) and clarified the software user interface questions that It is highly recommended, all in all. Feel confident about your purchase.

Having text messages or incoming calls on my wrist is nice. I like being able to see who is calling or who sent me a text message. My phone is usually out if I'm going to respond or answer, but I find the action of checking my watch during a conversation or lesson that I'm teaching to be much more natural and unobtrusive. I charge my watch every As I have to take off my watch anyway to do yard work, I simply put it on the charger when I finish my yard work and it's done. I put it on the charger after a week's use this week, and when I put it back to charge it still had about 10% charge The remaining 30% is not yet used up. You can easily read the screen in all types of lighting. The backlight can be difficult to turn on at times, but it is nice to be able to see when it is Moreover, this watch's hands are also luminescent, so they can be seen with or without the back light It seems to me that patterns make for the best backgrounds, and I like the carbon fiber background in this Even though I never thought I would use it, I enjoy using the fitness tracking features. With a timer, I am able to stay organized and put things in the right order. I found the menu system of the watch to be not so great, but it does the job. We like how easy it is to navigate and use the app. In conclusion, this is the smartwatch I recommend and use most often. Besides notifications, weather, and fitness tracking, I don't need to use voice to text or make calls on my wrist. I like notifications and to see the weather. My brain is smart enough to make it work.

I previously owned a Samsung Active 2 smartwatch before I bought In fact, I have never used many of the "Smart" features in my watches, and have always enjoyed a classically designed My eye caught the look of this one, and I thought it had the features I would need on a daily basis. I was amazed at how beautiful it looked after I received it. This watch leans to a diver watch in terms of style. Because it does not come with instructions, setting it up was a bit difficult. As the watch is all set up online, it is difficult and confusing to figure out how to use. Scrolling through the options on the watch face was difficult and there was no place to go for help, except for a YouTube video that described it. It took me less than ten minutes to complete and set up, so I was ready to go! There is no color on the screen and the messages appear in extremely small font, which made reading them difficult. Your notifications are received for messages and calls, and I was able to receive both of them without issue. One of the biggest problems, which ended up being a deal breaker, was the lack of fitness features in the app. To a certain extent, it will track your steps, heart rate, and distance. The Samsung feedback I received (pace and distance completed, heart rate while running, etc. ) was very useful for me as I am somewhat of a runner. Watches such as this do not come with this feature. In an attempt to compensate for the lack of information, I downloaded a couple of apps on my phone. Unfortunately, this resulted in me constantly pulling out my phone while running to check my stats. The situation is not In comparison to most other smart watches, the battery life on this one is great. I used mine for at least 5 days without charging it, but the Samsung went about two days without charging. Due to its much simpler design, with a much less complicated screen it does a lot less processing and so won't use up your battery I recommend the watch for anyone looking to buy one. The price is great, it's an attractive watch, and it does the basic fitness and smart features well. I am going back to Samsung but this time I will get the Galaxy 3. If you are a fitness person and want to keep track of your progress as you exercise, this watch is not for you. This was a nice watch that was well-designed and would fit the bill nicely if you wanted to track steps, heart rate, and be alerted to messages/calls.

Smart watches have been high on my wish list for some time. After a few days, I could sort of figure it out. I did find the instructions through the mobile app to be somewhat vague, but I eventually worked my way As I got used to it and found new ways to make the situation work for me, everything seemed to be going well. However, after only a week it was "disconnected" (just in time for the time change too) and would not show the correct time nor connect to the app in any way. I tried everything I could to fix it, but nothing This game was an hour late on the time and did not allow me to use any of its As a result The item has been returned. This was a nice try, but it fell short.
