Omg it's awesomeee. Loads of features, Heart rate, GPS, Google pay, swimproof. Plus it doesn't look like a toy. I can't wait to try it
and you can store music in it, with is very important when the phone dies or you want to swim with some waterproof earphones.
@@MrDragonorp how to store music in the watch?
@@user-vm7yd4wg4i I Don't know,only knows it exists.
Is there an Feature where you can notice something
Get me one tooo
Just ordered mine today. Soooooooo excited!!
Bought mine a few weeks ago, such an amazing watch that looks so professional and elegant. Best purchase made.
Best video I've seen to help set up my new fossil Gen 4 smart watch. Loved all features and tips. Now let's hope it functions well with good battery life and don't freeze up that's all I need ☺
We're glad that you liked the video and that it was helpful!
Lunch was delicious btw! 👍🏼
OMG, 😲 this watch is just amazing, I juts can't stop exploring all the futures. I love the perfect design
We are so happy you enjoy it!
I just got my hand on this during Black Friday for $182
You get so much with this watch
GPS, Google Pay, Heart rate sensor, Better hardware, Spotify support, Call/Text notifications, etc
I had a Apple Watch
($400+$10 month/carrier)
I got this for less than half the price and it looks better, it works better, it feels better, it has better battery life, it doesn’t get scratches as easily,
God I love this watch
I was going to buy a gen 3 in October for my birthday, good thing they released the new gen for the same price !
Good timing, hey?😍🤗
I love that you are answering questions in the comments, thanks for that. This is the best looking smartwatch in my opinion. Does it support third party text apps like Textra for notifications? Thanks!
yes it is..i downloaded strava on it to track my run without a phone
Did you ever buy it? Does textra actually work? I'm not buying a smart watch if I have to use stock sms
At the moment it is in my opinion the best smartwatch in terms of appearance as well as applied technologies.
Hey David. How has been your experience one year down the line? How much battery backup are you getting?
wrong this watch is pretty much handicap under iphones as apple cock blocks most of the functions and the app store as well
@@Saida___ Then get an Android...
This is just great. Barely been a month since I bought a gen 3 in India :)
I like the design options. I believe the only manufacturer who has this many. Plus it looks like a watch not some weird wrist gadget.
Simply the best looking smartwatch available.
Bought the Gen 4 as soon as it can out. Everything else looked so dumb and ugly in comparison
@@booooooooooooooooooooooo Fossil & Emporio Armani have the best design but I'm waiting for them to upgrade the old processer.
Suunto 7 looks better
I'm definitely getting this watch!!🔥
Thank you soooooo much fossil this helped me a lot
Just bought it today and love, love, love the look.
We're certain it looks great on you, Mazza!
@@Fossil i bought one and im really disapointed for
Howcome u have smartwatch then u can call from the watch but no voice of ur watch ????
Also alarm with only vibration !!
No sounds 😣😣😣
Cool to see Fossil living in the reactions! A question for you guys, im a tech geek and back in the days reading negative reviews about the qualcomm wearable cpu. I assume this one still has the same cpu since qualcomm's new one isn't out yet.. Are you guys going to introduce a new one with the new cpu later this year?
This is currently the most updated style we have today. Stay tuned by signing up to our newsletter to be the first to know of any other exciting new releases!

The Fossil Gen 4 or 3 on the latest update can last up to 5 days on a full charge in Battery Saver Mode.
The first smartwatch that I'd actually buy.
I was surprised to find out it doesn't have a built-in speaker or make or take call until AFTER I bought the watch. Not a deal breaker for me, I mainly use my phone or sometimes my headphones to make calls. Great watch, I love it.
Evalina Arenivaz yes, the watch vibrates and tells you that you have a call incoming and you can even swipe to answer but it picks up on your phone instead. It also does tell you if you’ve missed any calls.
I need to watch this a few more times
MUSIC IS GOOD
Just ordered this watch...so excited to get it love the work fossil does 😍
We appreciate your support. Thanks for being a Fossil Fan, Ian! 😎
Hi Ian can you please share your opinion with this watch, are you using IOS or android, I am after buying some smart watch for Christmas . Thanks
I love this watch I love the price it looks so premium .. it's the best look smartwatch I've ever had and I like it that it's light. I'm not sure why everyone keeps talking abt the bad battery life when it lasts as long as an apple watch which is a day. Anyway ... I did not regret my buy
Best looking smart watch for guys
sydmmr1985 Know if there’s a version for women? Looking for one for my wife for Christmas.
Hey Chris! This is us helping you get that "husband of the year" award. 😉 foss.sl/6055E6dHh
Fossil lol thanks! I’ll check it out.
I was waiting just the water proof. Now it wiil be mine. Best looking smartwatches on the market. I own gear s3, huawei watch 2, ticwatch s. This will be my next obsession. Great
Just got it. I'm in love. Still getting used to everything but between the Versa and this, I picked this smartwatch.
RollingAroundWithKitties Does it still has a *speaker* 🔊 as Gen 3 had one?🤔
It does not have a speaker. It has a microphone. I have the Q Venture.
No, this watch does not have a built in speaker.
RollingAroundWithKitties Thanks for the information!You own the Q Venture HR?🤩
Yup I do. I wanted a smartwatch and bought both the Venture HR and the Versa. I really liked both but the thing that put the Venture above both was that it linked to literally every social media account I have so alerts so all the things I needed. I also can respond back to Facebook, Instagram, emails and texts by typing or speaking into the microphone. And its really pretty! Battery needs improvement. But it lasted me from 9am this morning till now and it's at 30 percent :)
The Versa was great too. It has a very simple and easy interface. The Venture takes some getting used to but its great. The only thing I wish it had was sleep tracker and a better battery.
Smart watch Fossil was my gift for my dear niece!
Hey fossil, if you're listening. Please add a raised bezel so we don't scratch or break the screen so easily. I know case thickness is already on the the thicker size but it will add to the real watch aesthetics.
Thanks for your feedback! We will take this into consideration when creating future designs.
I have to say I do love my Fossil but David is right. The screen is not sapphire and scratches/breaks too easily.
David- Are you using Screen Protector for your smart watch?
I use a glass screen protector
I love this watch so much!! I am an IOS user with an Apple watch and have a few concerns.
1) when I am streaming music from my phone can I pause skip change volume on the watch like the Apple watch does?
2) can you reply to text or make and receive phone calls?
3) does the watch integrate with direction apps tapping you to go left or right like the Apple watch does?
If so then goodbye Apple watch and hello Fossil watch the whole family is getting an upgrade!!
Thanks to anyone who answers!!
Hi Paul - We're happy to help! The gen 4 does have the ability to control your music through the watch. However, since it does not have a speaker you won't be able to place phone calls. Also, please keep in mind that in order to reply to texts, it must be paired with an Android device. Regarding the last question, the app does assist with directions and will alert you when you need to turn. We hope this information is helpful.
Fossil hii, just one question if im an ios user can i recive whatsapp notifications?
@@Fossil a .l
Hey Fossil ! Please upload Gen 5 walkthrough...I just bought one and I wanna know how to utilize it the most!!
Great video Fossil, thanks for uploading it.
Does anyone know if the strap is easy to replace? Will definitely buy this watch, but would also like to use during sport activities and PE lessons. Thanks for your help!
Of course! We're happy to help! Depending on the country you reside in, to replace the strap, just contact the service nearest you! One of our representatives would be happy to help you. Let us know if you have any further questions. Have a wonderful day!
It’s a great watch! I thought the watch included built-in speakers... but it’s great that it works with Bluetooth speakers 🔊👌
Battery life is great as well..
The strap is great 👍🏻 and the touchscreen!
I would recommend this product for smart watch lovers...
can you watch photos on it?
It doesn't come with a picture gallery. However, you can add your own background from your social media sites by using the Fossil Q Design your Dial feature.
Is there a charging cradle/base included in the box? If not where to purchase?
Can you use this watch as a remote player for Spotify, like you having it playing in wireless earbuds that are connected to a phone, but you can skip and pause with the watch??
Yes, you can control music from Spotify on your wrist!
Brillant I have been waiting for a REAL watch to come out for Wear OS to support Google pay!!, and yes I know the Tag Heuer connected already has this but that goes like 3000 AUD so not worth it to me lol.
We think this could be the perfect suite for you, then! Let us know if you have any questions about it going forward!
@@Fossil hi your website doesn't say what the screen is made of is it made of sapphire or gorilla Glass?
The crystal on the touchscreen cover is made of a highly durable alkali-aluminosilicate sheet glass commonly used in consumer electronics.
hi fossil I just bought mine today.
Hello fossil, i was wondering if you are able to directly answer calls on the watch not as a remote functionality though.
You may answer calls which will be pushed to your phone. You can not take calls directly on the watch, because it does not have a built in speaker. However, you can take calls on the watch if the watch is connected to a bluetooth headset.
Since the gen 3 has speakers would that mean you could answer calls on that directly
Great question! What type of phone would you have paired with the device?
I already have mine, game changer, totally worth the upgrade from the Gen 3, however, I would like to know if the screen is sapphire or other material, also what is the total available memory after the os and which are the specs of it, there is no info on the website about that
Great to hear, Alfredo! Your Gen 4 smartwatch will have about 1.4GB available for user data and it's screen is made of a highly durable alkali-aluminosilicate sheet glass commonly used in consumer electronics.
How's the battery life?
Workflick! Full day 6am to 12 pm 17% left, using gps also
Your battery will last up to 24 hours, depending on usage.

I love this watch
The watch loves you back!😏🙏
Very useful😊😊😊
Hello,
How i know when is full charged, there is a notification with "full charged" or it will remain with Charging 100% message?
Your watch will tell you it is fully charged when the circle on your screen is complete and says 100%!
Can you swim with the metal band ? Will the pins rust ?
DigoriePiper its stainless Steel.....no rust
It's stainless steel so the metal should not rust. We suggest pouring tap water over the metal each time you come back from a swim in salt or chlorine water, as an extra care measure.
@@Fossil so, can I use the watch while swimming in the beach?
Yes, your smartwatch is swim proof. In addition, being water resistant up to 30M, this device passes a 10,000-stroke swim test and can be worn while swimming in shallow water or showering. Microphone and touchscreen may not work properly while the watch is in water or not completely dry.
@@Fossil thanks! I'm rushing my wife to give me this watch as an early birthday present!
what did you upgrade in this gen vs the last one? thinking of buying the last gen as it cheaper and also has speakers.
did you pass out the speakers because you waterproofed the watch?
The new Gen 4 comes equipped with a heart rate sensor feature, GPS distance tracking, NFC (Payments), rapid charging, and is also swim proof. The speaker has been removed to increase the water resistance.
Is there any difference in battery life between the 40mm and 45mm versions ? Do both support always on displays ?
Will there be a gold tone Explorist?
We do have a Gold Tone Gen 3 Smartwatch - Q Explorist: FTW4010P! Let us know if you have further questions!
Fossil I was questioning the Gen 4
We have not released a gen 4 Explorist HR in gold tone yet. We recommend subscribing to our newsletter to be notified of future styles.
Does it still has a *speaker* 🔊 as Gen 3 had one?🤔
No, this style does not have a built in speaker.
I recently bought two 4 gen watch for me and my wife. I want to know that do we need a Screen Protector for them??
Thank you for reaching out. We advise not to use screen protectors because of the touchscreen sensors in the watch. Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns regarding your new Gen 4 Smartwatches.
@@Fossil- then how to prevent scratchs?
If you are concerned with your screen being scratched, it is up to your own discretion if you'd like to use a screen protector. We recommend researching other user experiences to see how a screen protector worked for them!
Really nice video editing. What software did you use?
It doesnt matter any decent NLE will do the job.
Does it have a camera control? Likenfor example I wanna click the shatter button using the watch? Awesome video! I am buying!
At this time the Gen 4's do not have the ability to capture a picture from your phone.
Having trouble getting my text messages. Had it working and then has to reset my phone. All notifications, etc are checked to recieve.Have Samsung 7 on verizon

Can you answer phone calls from the watch and text back from the watch if you have a iPhone 7 Plus ?
With IOS you are unable to respond to text messages through your watch, but can respond using third party apps such as Facebook Messenger and Whatsapp. You also can answer phone calls through the watch, but must communicate via phone!
Can we download the apple music in this wear os?
At this time, you cannot download Apple Music to Wear OS watches.
@@Fossil That is a huge down side to your product as advertised with ios compatibility that should be specified
Thanks for your feedback Tasheia! We'll pass your information along to our team.
Hello, can you please tell me if I can use the keyboard for writing SMS on iPhone too?
iPhone users will be able to receive call, text, and app notifications from their watch. Replying to texts and accepting a call will be directed back to the phone!
When it will be available in India and what will be the launch price in INR?
How is the battery Life? With which Activity on the watch do i have which battery Life?
Your battery will last up to 24 hours, depending on usage.
Fossil yes i know that it depends on usage but that don't answer my question
Power usage will vary by app and function. Feel free to email our team at social@fossil.com for further information.
Thilo, I have mine on all day. My "sleep" face is always visible. Brightness on 2. I text, use google pay, HR/steps, even see my playlist when using BT, and haven't dropped below 20 when starting with a full charge. You can keep an eye on charge if concerned by choosing a watch face that shows battery life. The charger is a standard USB & really does charge in an hour. Hope that helps.
Are you connected to an Android or iOS device, Jonathan?
Hey, I have this app called FOSSIL on my watch preinstalled. When I open it , it has some options like make a new category. How do I use this app. Plz reply ASAP
Hello! This app is used to create and save your watch faces. We hope this helps!
@@Fossil thanks for your reply, no other company do that.
No problem. We're here to help!
just bought it and got an extra strap thin steel design braclet love itt gd price
Great to hear! It's nice to have options. 👍
Hello, just bought my Gen 4 and I have a question: for the charger I keep reading I only need a 5V source, however, it does not specify the amperes, can I use my turbo charger from my cellphone (2A) or do I have to use a lower current source? Thx in advance
Hello! You can charger your smartwatch when you plug the charging cord into a USB port on your computer or other low-energy device such as a UL-certified 5v USB wall charger. We don't recommend using a USB hub, USB splitter, USB y-cable, battery pack or other peripheral device to charge your smartwatch.
145 bpm XD you okay?
@@RajKumar-jk3lm what?

I know, VERY subtle
This is my dream watch, i will get it one day, then im bussin it tf down no cap
On sale right now
This is a really nice-looking watch. Is there the option to have the screen on at all time? I don't want to have to shake my arm around to be able to see the time...
Yes Julien! Our watch screens have an “always-on” feature.
Watch looks great but I am REALLY HATING THE MUSIC
Suit yourself, I'm enjoying the calm music. You can always mute the volume if it makes you feel better bud.
can you download spotify on it?
Yes, you can download it through the Play Store on your watch.
Can you download playlists from Spotify Premium onto the watch?
No, however you can download playlists from the Google Play Music app.
You may control your music from the watch. You may not download or stream spotify playlists directly from the watch.
Can you load music files to the watch and play it through bluetooth earphone?
What is the detentions of the lugs? So i know what size straps to put on it. Because im definitely going to buy :)
We are happy to hear you are excited about our new Smartwatch! This style is compatible with any 22mm Fossil strap!
As an iOS user, is there a way I can have a steps challenge with another Fossil gen4 user who is also an iOS user? I REALLY like your smart watches, they have a classic look to them and all of the latest and greatest technological features that make it exciting.
I was thinking about that too but sadly I think that is probably more of a fitbit thing :(
This feature is not available for this smartwatch. However, we appreciate your feedback, and we'll be sure to pass it to our team for consideration.
I’m an IOS user, out of curiosity, how is the user friendliness of this smart watch? I’m looking into buying a smart watch but I like the classic look rather than what Apple offers. Did you get alerted for emails, calls, texts, etc?
Can u answer calls on this watch?
It doesn't have a speaker, so you won't be able to answer calls on the watch.
Almost purchased the watch but removing the speaker was a deal breaker for me.
Thanks for the feedback! We'll let our team know, so they can keep this in mind for future designs.
You can still talk to Google Assistant
I’m new to these watches. What do you mean they removed the speakers?
@@CarolCao the Gen 3 version had speakers that allows you to listen to music and take/make calls using the watch.
I'm glad i read this. I love the look of the watch and was set on it, but no speaker is an issue. :-(
Will notifications on your phone from apps like RUclips pop up on the watch, or just text messages?
Hi Fossil.2 questions.1) Can you make a call-dial a number/choose from phonelist on the GEN 4 watch?( I know it requires a Bluetooth headset to hear as there is no speaker) 2) Does the new fast charger works with the GEN 3 watch? Thank you very much
Hi George! You may request to start a phone call through the device, but it won't be able to continue the call through the watch as it doesn't have speakers. Also, the charger on the Gen 3 and Gen 4 are different. We hope this info helps!
i was gonna buy the galaxy watch but change of mind , fossil wins
Hi Fossil, does the message function also work with facebook messenger on Android?
Hi David - If the Facebook Messenger App for WearOS does have an option to respond, you should be able to do it via the watch. However, this is dependant on the third party app.
On the gen 3 can you log into your social media accounts and set up one of the pictures as your wallpaper too??
That ability to personalize your device is definitely a feature included on the Gen 3 smartwatches!
Love it. Here is how to turn everything on. Now to improve the shit battery life, turn everything back off. Happy trails.
Hello there, I have the IPhone X and i been considering buying the Fossil Gen 4 . My question is ... are we still able to received text/call notifications although we wont be able to reply through the watch? Thank you in advance.
Hello Carolina! You will still be able to receive text/call notifications, however you must respond using your phone!
Carolina Rodriguez you would be better off getting an Apple Watch
Hai. Upload a comparison video between fossil sporty Vs fossil Gen 4
Hi fossil I bought this watching and loved it
I would like to know how can I increase its battery life.. please tell it fossil
Looking forward with you
Hope spending my savings was worth it ✌🏻👍🏻🙏
Hi there! First we'd recommend to ensure that your smartwatch and the Wear OS by Google app are fully updated for the smoothest experience. Now try out one of our 4 smart battery modes! Simply swipe down, tap the battery icon, then feel free to modify the mode to find your sweet spot! You can find more information on extending the battery life on your smartwatch, by following this helpful article by Wear OS by Google Help: foss.sl/6052GOThG
If you have additional questions or would like more tips, feel free to reach out to us at social@fossil.com.
I can't seem to find any specs regarding the display. I'm fairly certain it's OLED because when I was playing with it at Best Buy, I noticed screen burn-in, but what is the resolution/ppi?
The screen on the Gen 4 Q Explorist is AMOLED with a Resolution of 454x454.
Can gen4 answer the call just using the watch without phone if they are connected?? Is still good if I buy this in June 2016 or just get Gen5 instead??
Hello Arif! You are able to ignore or accept calls from the smartwatch before directly talking on your phone. 👍 If you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact us at social@fossil.com. Have a wonderful day!
Must have!
We agree!
Check your email.Good day,
My name is ....... I am a long time Fossil fan.
I have been awaiting the release of the new Q Explorist HR Gen 4 Smartwatch
Hey there! Please provide us with your email address so we can assist you further. We look forward to your response!
Thank you for your concern. We have contacted our team to make the necessary corrections!
@fossil Loved the look of the watch and was hoping that it would pair with my phone well, but it did not. The watch struggled to update after the initial setup and I was not a fan of having to leave Wear Os constantly running for the watch to stay connected to my phone. I just believe that iPhones are not meant to be compatible with android software. So it seems I will be leaning towards an Apple Watch if I want a smart watch.
We're sorry to hear about the difficulties you faced with your smartwatch. We appreciate your feedback and will pass it on to the appropriate team. We understand that the Wear OS isn't everyone's cup of tea, but we appreciate you being a fan of our design! If you have any further questions or concerns, please let us know. Have a wonderful day!
Is it just the google play music app that can load songs directly to your phone or are there other compatible apps? Would love to be able to workout with just music on the watch and bluetooth headphones and not have to go running with my phone.
Also, what about podcast apps? Are any compatible with the watch so I can upload podcasts onto it without having to have my phone with me while working out?
Hi Lisa! The Google Play Music app allows you to listen to your music on the watch without your phone nearby. The smartwatch would need a built in speaker and require for you to have a Google account. Fossil smartwatces are not able to play Podcasts without your phone being near to you. You are able to control the features from your watch.
Please make more features for Apple user !
When do we get a version with the Qualcomm snapdragon wear 3100?
Please stay connected for future innovation developments!
Can you clarify what kind of display is this and the resolution? I couldn't find any information about that.
Please give us some time as we get in contact with the appropriate team. We appreciate your patience.
How far can your phone be to get notifications also can you reply to messages? And is it easy to connect to iPhones usually?
Hello! The range of the wireless Bluetooth connection between your phone and your smartwatch can vary greatly depending on the environment. In general, you should have at least 10 meters (or 30 feet) of connectivity.
Is it better than "Mi Amazed fit" ??
If I connect the new 4G watch on my iphone am I able to receive and make calls with my voice and talk through it that way if i have a call? And how is the battery life on this thing I’ve heard mixed reviews on that
When our smartwatches are connected with an iPhone, you won't be able to place phone calls through the phone or answer to text messages. However, our Gen 4 devices don't come with a speaker, so placing phone calls through the phone will be unable to do regardless of the type of phone you have connected.
Can you hear someone speak through the watch whilst on a call? Also how do you respond to emails and access 'ok google' if there is no WiFi? Will the watch use the connected phones data??
The watch does not have a built in speaker. You will not hear the person's voice through the watch, but you can connect a bluetooth headset. You can access any of the watches features via a bluetooth connection to your phone.
does this watch have a mic? also the bulge sensor at the back? is it comfortable?
im upgrading from the fossil marshal gen 2.
The Gen 4 does have a microphone and the sensor is hardly noticeable when on your wrist! We hope this helps. 👍
@@Fossil thinks i ended up buying the Gen 4 Explorist HR monday.
but upon getting home that night noticed there was a dead pixel on the center upper part of the screen. mostly noticeable in always on screen mode, or when screens black or dark.
What is the app at 2:08? I would like to download it. Fossil Q doesn't work, as it is only for hybrid watches.
This is the "Wear OS" app by Google! Let us know if you have any other questions!
Hey Fossil
I have a question.
I have the Gen 3 Explorist, and I know the Gen 4 is water resistant. But I'd like to know if my Gen 3 also is.
Hope hearing from you soon
Thanks for reaching out! Your Gen 3 Explorist is water resistant! 👍
@@Fossil great! Thank you guys
This watch would be GREAT with a rotating bezel, more watches should adopt that style
Hi there! We appreciate your feedback and will be sure to relay this to our team for future product design. However, our Gen 4 Smartwatches feature a rotating crown. You can check out the Explorist HR here: foss.sl/6057EGrvd 😎
hey @Fossil does any one knows if with this watch you can control your phone camera? like set up one of the buttons to control the camera??
Our Touchscreen Smartwatches do not have this option.
@@Fossil thanks for the update. I was going crazy looking for it. Sad it does not have it.
You can use this feature with our Hybrid Smartwatches! Check out one of our favorites here: foss.sl/605816jzs
Can you store music on the gen 4? Does it have built in gps?
You can store music on it via Google Play Music and it does have untethered GPS!
Can you download custom tones for notifications or does it vibrate only?
Hi Tj! Great question. The Gen 4 will only vibrate when receiving notifications. There is not an option to set a customized tone. We hope this helps!
Hi. Do you know if you can activate the camera on an iphone through this watch?
Our touchscreens smartwatches do not have the ability to access the camera through the watch. However, our hybrid smartwatches have this feature!
Wowwww! I am in love with this watch! How is the compatibility with ios?
The Gen 4 is compatible with both iPhone and Android! However, specific capabilities will be dependent on the type of device you have.
Fossil I am using Iphone 7 with ios 12. Is it going to offer the same features I have seen in the video?
The Gen 4 is compatible with iPhones that have the iOS 12. However, the only feature that isn't available is being able to text through your watch.
Fossil thanks for your prompt response! How can I buy it in Spain?
Please contact our service center in Spain at +34 93 363 38 70 or customerservice.es@fossil.com for further assistance!
Even without a speaker are you still able to answer a call from your phone on the smartwatch? Say if you're walking around but don't notice the phone ringing in your pocket does a notification pop up to allow you to answer it?
Yes! A notification will pop up saying you're receiving an incoming call. You may tap on your watch to answer or decline it, but the actual call will have to be done through your phone.
The watch work un bluetooth or with the application ? (Sorry for my Bad english im french)
The device will connect to your phone via Bluetooth and there is an application associated that you will also use to sync your device with your phone.
What are the specs of the inductive charging tool (Volt, Amps) and can I use a powerbank to charge this smartwatch?
The Explorist is 330mAh, and the Venture is 300mAh. You are not able to use a powerbank. We hope this information was helpful!
How Long does the battery last for and also has it got a speaker that can use for communication
The battery will last all day depending on usage and our Gen 4 Smartwatches do not have a speaker.
