This Gen 6 Hybrid smartwatch gives you up to 2 weeks of battery life depending on usage and features an always-on readout display so you can get your heart rate, message previews, weather and more at a glance. Interchangeable with all 22mm Fossil watch bands. The Fossil Smartwatches App is provided by Fossil Group, Inc. so your data will be stored in the USA. See the Fossil Smartwatches App Privacy Policy and Terms of Use for more information. Battery life is dependent on usage. Fossil smartwatches work with phones running the latest version of Android or iOS. Supported features may vary between countries with compatibility subject to change.
This is a Hybrid Smartwatch, which means it has battery-powered mechanical hands as well as a simple display with user-configurable options. It communicates with a nearby cell phone using Bluetooth to give you selected alerts (but no way to respond to them).Pluses: The watch is much less expensive than a full Smartwatch. It is beautiful, solid, and sturdy. The leather/silicone band is gorgeous and super comfortable. The battery lasts nearly forever between charges. I last charged mine over 2 weeks ago. I wear it every day and still have 27% battery left! The mono color display is always on and easy to read in bright conditions. You can change the background and what information it shows. In addition to relaying notifications from your phone, it has on board sensors for steps, heartrate, and blood oxygen levels. It also has sleep tracking and a microphone so you can summon Alexa.HoweverYou can't summon Google Assistant or Siri. There is no speaker so alerts are vibration only. No Google WearOS, you must use the Fossil Smartwatches App. The screen is hard to see in low light, even when activating backlight feature. There is no touchscreen, you navigate the menus using 3 side pushbuttons. I have a problem using watch to track walking workouts where the watch overwrites the correct Google Fit walking distance with incorrect distances.In ConclusionThis is a beautiful, relatively inexpensive watch with limited Smartwatch abilities. I took off 1 star because to the annoying walking workout distance problem. Hopefully a future software update will address this.Update:I added the fifth star because I discovered if you just track your workouts on the watch it updates Google Fit just fine. You just have to open the Fossil App and synch the watch with the phone once or twice a day. I actually like the lack of a speaker so I never have to think about putting the watch on DND during meetings.
