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

UPDATE:See the original review if you want the full review but I've had this watch for a bit and there are some things I'd like to add. For one I scratched the crystal on a concrete bench, pretty sure it scraped some quartz and well the hardness of quartz means it'll scratch a watch crystal. I'll see if a jeweler can buff it out.A note on some of my complaints. The app is okay, but not amazing and the watch itself only syncs to the app when you open the app, it won't sync in the background (this issue might be exclusive to Android). This may be a deal breaker for most as it's frustrating that you can't ever trust your watch to sync but I found a hack someone released in like 2018 that is basically just a better app in every way to the original including a function that allows it to sync every time you unlock your phone. I'm a big fan of easy community solutions to shitty corporate decisions so if anything it made me like the watch more.Definitely be wary that installing a random unverified apk onto your android phone is considered unsafe but in my opinion worth it because now my watch syncs properly and the new hacked app has better functionality. (if you want the hacked app for your android phone you can look it up, it's made by coronafire and I found it through some random reddit post.ORIGINAL REVIEW:Whelp, I got the watch around noon Aug 1 and it's 7pm Aug 19 and have finally gotten to 12% battery life. Now there's a couple things to note. Namely, that I don't wear it while I sleep. Otherwise I use it to track my walks, I look at the heart-rate graph at the end of the day and I only have some minor complaints.Pros: Looks fantastic, works exactly as expected. Battery life is phenomenal. Watch face is very easy to see in daylight compared to backlit screens. That's what you get with an e-ink display. On top of that you can customize the background to whatever you want and place different information points wherever you like.Cons: E-ink is a little slow to respond, for me not a huge deal, but if you like things snappy, you're not getting it with this display. It occasionally spends time unsynced from my phone, I note this because the weather occasionally doesn't display on the screen. Another downside is that the heart rate chart doesn't show exact values, and you can't output it either. Best you get is a max/min/avg heartrate and you kinda just have to guess the rest from the graph. Not the end of the world, but it sucks you can't get exact values from throughout the day. Other reviewers say they've seen condensation in their watch. I'm not a shower/sleep with my watch kinda guy, I tend not to just dunk watches in water or expose them to extreme circumstances, especially when they look this good and professional. Idk if it's quality control or whatever, but if you plan to treat this like a rugged watch, do this watch and yourself a favor and just get something meant for that. Sure marketing says 3atm of water resistance, but if you know watches you know anything under 5atm is basically not waterproof so don't get upset about it, marketing is just that, and while I believe companies should be honest I know we live in the real world and they're going to lie to us no matter what so understand that you're not going diving and you shouldn't shower wearing a $150 hybrid watch from Fossil.Side Note: Other reviews have said it doesn't come with instructions. It does, they're just kinda wedged in the box, just gotta look a little, they've got a big "FOSSIL" printed on the cover I'm pretty sure.Overall I love it, I did a lot of research and for me having a watch I can wear for 18 days without worrying about battery, but still getting little buzz's for notifications and still seeing steps and weather and the date all conveniently there how I want it. Truly enjoy this, it looks very professional and has a premium feel.

I’ve hesitated getting a smartwatch because I like the classic look of analog watches. This was a good compromise and I hoped I’d like the look and get some smartwatch benefits. I did!1. The battery charge lasts me 7-10 days. I charge it overnight about once a week and it’s good to go.2. The display part of the face is fully customizable in the app. You can change the display info, put a picture as the background (black and white), and even move any of the display to any part of the screen. The font in texts is also adjustable.3. Maintains the classic analog look. I like the style, and hate the look of most smartwatches. The hands and numbers on this are not digital, they are as real as an analog watch. From a distance most people wouldn’t know it’s a smartwatch.4. The step count and heart rate monitor work well and seem to be very accurate. I wasn’t sure how accurate to expect, so I’m very pleased.5. The watch band is quick release, so you can swap it out with other 22mm bands if you want for a custom look with different shirts.I have 0 complaints about this one.

Presentation-Not a green on green background which is very disappointing, it is a black dial with a green ring, which is fine, but not all green as advertised in the pictures. Probably the biggest thing to note, it won't look like the pictures at all becuase of that.-After some researching I found out that there were two lines of this watch from Fossil one with a green background which was discontinued, and one with this black backgroundFeel-Buttons are a bit hard/painful to press but one gets used to it.-Vibrations are good for notifications, but don't trust it to wake you up for alarms- Otherwise feels great-Band feels really niceWatch UI-A bit clunky but you get shortcuts, unfortunately they updated the apps and went from 3 shortcuts to 2, which was again, disappointing-sleep tracking does not work unless you have the watch very very tightly and high on your wrist-Weather app has an issue of disconnecting, displays nothing, or gives wrong info, very annoying but seems to happen for a few ahour at a time then resolve itself-Watch may disconnect a fair bit from phone-Music controls are decent, though I wish they could be customized-Still, simple features, some getting used to, but good overallApp UI-A nightmare and regrettable, you'll need to watch some tutorials of which there aren't many with this new interface. It's really bad-Almost returned the watch because of the app-It's a learning curve, and the UI is terrible but after you get the hang of it, it's okay and you have some fair amount of customizationOverall still a beautiful watch, great for a classic look and with some smart functionality also a great battery life

Great smartwatch. If you want a tradational looking analog watch with a screen that is always on, go with this watch. It provides the simple info I am looking for in a smartwatch such as message notification, fitness tracking, music control, weather, and a few others. It's simple, good looking, and the battery easily last 2 plus weeks. If you get a black one, the screen is I bit more vivid than the green one but overall, this is exactly what I am looking for.

amazing quality and so practical. i’ve had an awesome experience using sleep tracking and would absolutely recommend to most everyone. i’ve recommended this to my co workers and so far 3 of them have bought and loved them. the chain of recommendations continues! it has basic controls/features which is just enough to keep track of the essentials. steps heart rate sleep, texts, calls, music control, and few more. love this product, sleek design and catches the eye. absolutely a conversation starter as well. 10 out of 10. Love it!

Me agradó el producto, tiene funciones limitadas con respecto al apple watch, pero también es reducido en precio y diseño más agradable en mi opinión.Funcionan bien:-Las notificaciones-Medición de vitales-Búsqueda del celular por si lo olvidas-Control de música (solo lo he logrado cambiar hacia adelante hasta ahora)No funciona tan bien:-Si me alejo alrededor de 6-7 metros con obstáculos (paredes, etc.) se pierde la conexión con el celular.-La iluminación pudiera mejorar pero no es mala

It’s cheap. It looks cheap and feels cheap. A bit uncomfortable if you wear it to the gym. Would definitely recommend an Apple watch (which i got after returning the Fossil) or Garmin over this.But for <$200, I guess there’s value there.

Excelente opción como inducción a los Smart; la batería es sin duda el mejor detalle, sin problema dura más de 8 días.Diseño bonito y cómodo de usar.

Excelente reloj, me ha servido mucho, me encanta la calidad del producto, se ve muy padre y elegante, además de que sirve Perfecto.
