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.

The watch feels very nice on, it has decently nice capability such as Alexa, NFC for payments, ability to place and receive call/texts. change my spotify songs on the fly. The sleep tracking is there but only deep and light sleep but doesn’t seem very accurate because it only said I woke up when I went to physically check my sleep, I was up for more then an hour prior to that. I do like all the apps to change the face of the watch as the basic ones do not work out well for me. It is fairly difficult to remove links unless you have the proper press tool, I was able to get it with a cell phone tool and a hammer for removing SIM cards. My biggest concern is the battery life, it has to be charged at around 18 hours and that is running with the screen off and extremely little use. I bring my charger everywhere I go. I would love to suggest the watch but the battery life is a huge drawback

Works like previous one
My previous charger had physical damage on it and caused issues with charging consistently. This one charges fine with no issues an exact replacement for my Gen6 watch charger

Bateira ruim
Eu escolhi o modelo FOSSIL GEN 6 focando na estética (Foi o meu erro). Algumas características são decepcionantes. A primeira observação é a duração da bateria, extremamente baixa mesmo utilizando uma face mais simples, reduzindo a iluminação, deixando em modulo avião, não escutando musicas, enfim. A minha rotina começa como uma atividade aeróbica logo nas primeiras horas do dia e antes do almoço já preciso recarregar a bateria. Sobre a configuração no APP WEAR OS, ainda não consegui compreender a seguinte situação: sempre que coloco o relógio para carregar ele altera o padrão que escolhi. Ainda não encontrei como monitorar a atividade natação, alias nenhum esporte aquático. Para finalizar caso vc que esteja lendo este comentário e deseje um relógio para de fato acompanhar suas atividades físicas diárias eu categoricamente afirmo: não compre este produto. Caso esteja interessado apenas na estética ok.
