Absolutely right. Using it for more than a year now and its just a stylish watch where you can only connect for emergency calls and to read messages without looking at your phone. That’s all it. Others are not so accurate even the steps doesn’t even count sometimes. If you want something accurate and techy, this watch is not fornyou, but if you just want a stylish and you only need is phone calls and read txt msgs then this might work. The battery only last for a day and you have to charge it before the end of the day if you want to use it again. It could last for 2days if you turn off everything and keep the display off
thanks for this, I was just about to pull the trigger and try to upgrade my tozo s2 but I'm not too keen on having to charge it everyday. I need a watch that tracks my sleeping, steps, and bpm 24/7 all while looking as stylish as a traditional watch. oh well guess I'll keep looking.
not sure if you're still looking, but I just got my withings scanwatch yesterday and honestly it fits the criteria's you mentioned. It's stylish and as close to a traditional watch as you can get, all while being able to track your steps, sleeping and bpm 24/7 as this watch can probably get you through 30 days. It's still early days for me but I've looked around countlessly before making the decision so I'm hoping this is as good as I'm hoping it to be.
I have a gen 5. Battery longevity and google fit are the two reason I will not be upgrading to the 6. At first with aod on and lift to wake off I got 17 hours of battery life. 3 years later it's down to 4. Also Google fit is unacceptable, they really need to get with the times.
I use the it along with my IPhone 13 Pro Max. Wear OS app is not compatible after the watch is updated to Wear OS 3. It connects only with Fossil Smartwatch app, which I am not happy with. Have not seen options for Map and Wallet. Not sure if it’s an iOS thing.
One other thing to keep in mind - Fossil is pulling out of the smartwatch market. Since the Citizen CZ series (both the hybrid and smart watch) is based on Fossil's tech (through the partnership formed in 2018), where this leaves Citizen is unknown (I suspect they will be withdrawing from the smartwatch market too).
Hey, I just got mine yesterday. And there's an update where you don't pair with WearOs app but with the Fossil App. I noticed that the gestures are gone, swipe to the left side doesn't have that Google assistant anymore, no Google fit, etc. Could you do a review and guide through these new things???
I miss the original ui but not the laggyness I used to get, but the crown on my watch doesn't want to work the scrolling works but not the button to go to all apps and the home screen =/
I bought one today. After updating the OS, my watch flashed starting. I'm a bit frustrated it does the same on my son's watch. I bought 2 today, and it does the same.
I really wanted a gold smart watch however no one makes a gold watch unless it's the cheap Chinese ones so I got a huwaei gt2 and got $10 dollar gold bands and case. They all the same to me. I bet the premium apple watches are the best
regretted buying this. google assistant is not available after wear os update, notifications always not functioning. poor coordination with phone and lack fo useful functions
Why would you want this if you have an iPhone? The Apple Watch will give you 100x more functionality with your watch and will generally be a better overall experience.
@@cw2002 because I don’t like the Apple Watch. what I want is to use my galaxy watch 5 with my iPhone as it has 100x more functionality than the Apple Watch but I cant
Too bad battery is still just 24h at best, when these have at least 3 days then I'll consider it, thank you for the review. If I might where did you get those hexagonal tiles used on your desk/b-roll shots
they allow google yet? i not update for this reason! I have Alexa at home, but not in car or phone. have not updated because of this fact, Alexa not on my watch! update 8 2023, google assiant works, thanks you the infor... problem the watch now has alarms i ca n set... but none of my alarms on my smart phone sound off on my smart watch anymore, why? also I hears fossil is getting out of the smart watch bussiness? hear this August is there a fourm for Gen watches?
@@shotbymarlozan yeah thanks for the reply I appreciate it. Are you updated my phone to the new Google Gen 6 software. And I've been enjoying my Google assist on my phone. Like I said I've been without it for a year using the old Gen 6 software. Thanks for assuring me have a good day
@@ChrisPrieto Yeah bro! I am using my FG6 again. My GPW is in my desk drawer. Haptics feels a little better on the GPW, but it's not a big deal! I hope Fossil launches the FG7. Although Google is the owner of the smartwatch division of Fossil!🤷🏽♂️
PLEASE HELP My fossil gen 6 do not receive incoming call. It received the first two call, but later on, it doesn't receive incoming call anymore, but still i can make call from my watch..

How is the app support on iPhone nd can we talk from watch when linked with iPhone
@@balaram26 we can talk into the watch. I didn’t get the first part of your question
@@ShijoKJoseph-xx5xh I mean can we install watch os apps in the watch even when paired with iPhone?
You’re right, I cannot use the google wallet
Wish they'd release the gen 7 already...i want a nice looking watch to go with my new iphone 15 that can also track some fitness stuff.
Fossil Android watches are dead. They killed off the series.

Hello, thank you for your review. So the watch runs well 3.0 and google assistant works well without having to side load or anything correct?
No, from what I understand it uses Alexa, not Google assistant
No. It's running Google Assistant again. They fixed it!🎉
It's runs both. Geez

I believe it is now the WEAR OS 3 UI
When will the wear os 4 update available on fossil gen 6????
it wont. They're discontinuing the series.
I bought one today. After updating the OS, my watch flashed starting. I'm a bit frustrated it does the same on my son's watch. I bought 2 today, and it does the same.
What do you mean?
Is it compatible with ios ?

Google Assistant is back! That's why I left my Pixel Watch and back to my Fossil Gen 6 🎉❤
I was under the impression Google Assistant is no longer on the watch
It isn't, only reason I'm sticking to the gen 5,
He's back!🎉
how well does it work with Apple phones? Do you have all features? Also, the video makes the picture looked washed out. Is that true in real life?

Do not buy Fossil smart watches, it is a waste of money, as it is the worst smart watch in the world. And don't get help from the company!!!!
