Maybe it’s just me but I feel these hybrid timepieces could be such timeless hybrid trackers for those who don’t to have a noticeable screen on phone. I’m a tech geek myself and software developer and I did use full blown smartwatches but having a nice hybrid like this feels great to have around specially if I can switch between those while all stats being linked to same account. Feels unfortunate that Fossil hybrids aren’t getting as much attention compared to Withings and Garmin Vivomoves lately. I specially love not having to charge my watch.
Hi Just to let you know just been on Fossil website they are selling the stainless steal version down from £179 to £95 I also subscribed to there email and got a further £15% off bringing it down to £80.75 bargain
Have you got a chance to test its water resistance, and actually wear it during showers and swimming. Fossil Q official website says it can be worn during swimming and other activities, besides it only being water resistant and not waterproof.
Hi, was hoping you might be able to answer a question for me regarding the fossil hybrid operation.... once connected if you change the time on your phone manually in time and date settings, does it change instantly on the watch? Many thanks James ✌️
Will the watch work (tell the time) even if it's not connected to the app? Thinking of getting it for my boyfriend but worried it might not connect on his phone and don't want the watch to become basically useless.
Thanks a lot for the review ! I would've liked the black milanese steel version of it but this one is 50% off at 90 bucks so I might get this one :) I have a Pebble Smartwatch but it looks pretty silly in a more formal wear so a Hybrid could be quite interesting indeed.
Hi Dave my names Anthony I'm hoping you can assist me in regards to the One Plus 5T, will this watch communicate properly with my headset that I'm about to purchase? Or could you possibly recommend another Choice? Kind Regards Anthony
Question: for the hybrid watch does it take a way a lot of the Bluetooth section? As in, on your phone can you use the watch and Bluetooth headphones or earphones? I am considering getting one. However I have AirPods and i don’t want one to interfere with another. Watch looks amazing. If you got an answer please let me know!
Very nice looking watch and the battery concept is excellent. If I were to own a smartwatch it would be something like this, honestly I never liked smartwatches or fitness trackers, but hybrids like this one may just change my mind. One question though that I have is if the "smart" function ceases to work will the watch still function as a watch?
Hi! I'm considering purchasing this watch, but I'm unsure because there may be other affordable gen 4 smartwatches put out by fossil in the future. Any insight on this? If I purchase a gen 3 or gen 4 I'll update this comment with how I found it
the notification filtering is way too limited for a hybrid watch, phone and sms, thats it, for all the other apps, facebook/twitter/gmail/whatsapp, it's all or nothing. its also virtually invisible in the dark, even in twilight it's not readable and has no lighting. very important for the notifications: the vibration at it strongest is way too soft. don't know why you like the strap, it's not comfortable at all and this price point, i doubt it's real leather at all only good things are it looks like a watch, counts steps, the music control and its waterproof (or so they claim). i guess you can't expect much for 89 euro though, it was on sale, normally 169 euro...
Morning Dave...Just caught the end of your Live video...Always liked Fossil...But think the Nokia Steel HR is abit better than the Fossil Q...Shame you cant do a review on the Nokia Watch :-)

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this.
Great review. Thanks. Would be nice to have more close-up demonstrations of all those features.
Thanks for your feedback.

That is an awesome price Mark.
Does it have an alarm feature, and if yes is it powerful enough?
Sorry I no longer have this to check.
Can it continue tracking without yourself carrying a smartphone, whilst outside when phone on charging?
Yes.
Can you use your fossil apps on iOS pH and Android if you got both phone ? Would there be complicated to do this.
That would be hard to implement.

Sorry, not tested that.
Hello Geekanoids!
How is the watch working? Would you still recommend it? (over amazfit bip?)
I no longer have it, but during the time I did it was great.
Geekanoids And compared to the Xiaomi amazfit (70€) what would you recommend?
How is the battery life I just got one I decided to go with this from a Samsung s3 I just didn’t like charging it every 3 days
Great battery life on this.
Geekanoids really awesome review thanks a lot

Sorry, I no longer have this to check.
Does the watch work without a phone? I do have a phone, I just don't take it everywhere I go.
Yes.
Geekanoids what can it do without the phone?
Boz Tell the time & date (anything it doesn't need bt for...)
Will the watch work (tell the time) even if it's not connected to the app? Thinking of getting it for my boyfriend but worried it might not connect on his phone and don't want the watch to become basically useless.
Yes the time is independent from the smart features.
what is the name of the app???
Sorry I no longer have this to check.
What are vibrations like. Strong enough?
The whole experience with this smartwatch was very good. I no longer have to test and do not recall info about the vibrations.
Thanks a lot for the review ! I would've liked the black milanese steel version of it but this one is 50% off at 90 bucks so I might get this one :)
I have a Pebble Smartwatch but it looks pretty silly in a more formal wear so a Hybrid could be quite interesting indeed.
Awesome choice, best of luck to you.

Geekanoids

How are You finding the 5T?
Are you still impressed?
Yep, still super impressed.
Question: for the hybrid watch does it take a way a lot of the Bluetooth section? As in, on your phone can you use the watch and Bluetooth headphones or earphones? I am considering getting one. However I have AirPods and i don’t want one to interfere with another. Watch looks amazing. If you got an answer please let me know!
Yes, you can still use Bluetooth for other things at the same time.
Geekanoids thank you very much !! I was thinking about getting one and now I’m definitely convinced !
Nice smartwatch. Love my Armani hybrid watch, may have to grab a fossil variant
Great prices if you buy direct too.
Hello! I wanted to ask, does it have a chronograph feature?
No, this one does not.
Very nice video! I had a question though. What's the length from lug to lug?
Sorry I no longer have this to check.
Geekanoids why don’t you have this watch anymore??
SIR PLS SUGGEST.. BEST WATCH WATCH IN ANDRIOD
This or another from the Fossil range.
Geekanoids sir i am using note8 right now what about samsung gear sport or gear3
Is it water proof?
Sorry, I no longer have this to check.
yes. its water resistance

I think it would continue to work as a watch.
does it show date ?
Sorry, I no longer have this to check.
Yes it does
Yes it does
Why don’t you have the watch anymore
This was a review product.
Hi! I'm considering purchasing this watch, but I'm unsure because there may be other affordable gen 4 smartwatches put out by fossil in the future. Any insight on this? If I purchase a gen 3 or gen 4 I'll update this comment with how I found it
Gen4 has just launched, they are full screen WearOS watches, rather than a hybrid like this.
Can i sync all my photos from mobile phone to this watch?
No, that will not work.
What a dumb question, it clearly doesn't have a screen
the notification filtering is way too limited for a hybrid watch, phone and sms, thats it, for all the other apps, facebook/twitter/gmail/whatsapp, it's all or nothing.
its also virtually invisible in the dark, even in twilight it's not readable and has no lighting.
very important for the notifications: the vibration at it strongest is way too soft.
don't know why you like the strap, it's not comfortable at all and this price point, i doubt it's real leather at all
only good things are it looks like a watch, counts steps, the music control and its waterproof (or so they claim).
i guess you can't expect much for 89 euro though, it was on sale, normally 169 euro...
Thanks for sharing your opinion on this.
Wow. Your accent is amazing
🤓👍🏻
That was a wonderful information from you thanks a lot..
Cheers 🤓👍🏻
Morning Dave...Just caught the end of your Live video...Always liked Fossil...But think the Nokia Steel HR is abit better than the Fossil Q...Shame you cant do a review on the Nokia Watch :-)

Do you have notifications switched on? You should then receive notifications of live streams..
I do not own a phone so outside My PC I cannot know.
You do not own a phone? Wow, you must be the first person I have known to say that in modern times :-)
Never once in My life I have own a phone. I don't need it since I live in island so everything pretty close by.
