DO NOT UPGRADE TO WEAR OS 3.0!!!!!! Fossil Gen 6 Smartwatch
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 июн 2024
- Welcome to 4K Motoring!
Today we have a cautionary tale, DO NOT UPGRADE TO WEAR OS 3.0 on the Fossil Gen 6 Smartwatch! For the past year, we have loved the Gen 6 Smartwatch running the earlier Android Wear OS 2 version. The 3.0 update is now available, and it is clearly not ready for the Fossil Gen 6. Hopefully updates will come soon to make the experience better!

Appreciate everyone who’s upgraded sharing their experiences. As with all first releases I figured I’d wait and see how happy people were who decided to take the plunge. Thanks for letting me know what you like/dislike and what’s new and missing - going to leave my Fossil Gen6 at stock OS for now!
updated before i watched this, not having google assistant is fine, but that dim "torchlight" might as well not be there at all . anyway major improvement for me as strava was upgraded
Totally agree. Wear OS 3 ruins a great watch. Also, when listening to Pandora, I can no longer skip songs--only play/pause. Also, I can't dismiss/snooze alarms. ALL the features I loved are GONE. So frustrating Google!
Big savings here down under for Black Friday sales and I am VERY close to taking the plunge on a Gen 6 as I love the design of the watch. Just wondering when the fix will happen in an update for Google Assistant as currently that feature is a dream on my Galax Watch 5 Pro for everyday life.
From my conversations with Fossil, I'm sure it's something that will happen... There is just no definitive time frame
Hello Chris, thanks for your review. Has the updates to the watch made 3.0 stable with google assistant? thanks.
Lots of little bugs have been fixed but there is still no Google Assistant available with the update to 3.0
Has anyone had better experiences with whatever the last supported wearOS on this watch is? They are on clearance now as fossil group has closed, for very good prices. I'm just curious if they are worth grabbing at a low price if the last supported OS just sucks...
I've a blackview bv9800 pro,the fossil gen 6 worked perfectly fine until I updated wear os 3 and I couldn't connect or go back to version 2, thankfully my watch was 10 months old and I could drive a 220 mile round trip to a fossil shop and they swapped my watch under warranty or else I'd have a very expensive paper weight 😬😬
The loss of Google Assistant is a unforgivable!
It makes no sense!
It does explain why the Fossil smartwatches on Amazon are being sold with "Alexa built in".
In my experience, and most of what you've covered:
- watch got sluggish. Like really, really sluggish;
- Assistant is gone (at least they warned about that);
- Flashlight app is useless now;
- Always on / screen timeout either clash witch each other, or there is something else randomly either waking or turning off the screen;
- Battery life halved. Can't set up auto extended power mode at low battery, or at least setting gets ignored. It lasted me 2.5 days, now hardly a day;
- Automatic brightness adjustment doesn't work;
- Can't remap buttons;
- Can't set up my own ringtone anymore. Built ins are atrocious;
- Can't set up units - watch forces me to use imperial measurements;
From positive things:
- I can rotate the watchface 180 degrees, so I can finally stop hitting crown button every time I bend my wrist upwards;
- I can properly uninstall Alexa (I could only disable it before)
- Compass works now (in WearOS 2 it reported wrong axis)
- Periodic Blood oxygen measurements can be taken... not that they can be viewed in any way.
- There are more options for backlight timout;
So there's that. The flashlight situation and battery endurance hit are two that hurt me the most, honestly.
I did the upgrade ! I love it ! I don't need Assistant... It's faster and more responsive. Completely disagree with you. The Fossil Smartwatch app replaces the Wear OS and Google Fit app and it's GREAT !
Then you must not have been taking advantage of the user programmable buttons or flashlight features! Happy it works for you!
@@4KMotoring switch off all animations. In developer option. Thank me later
Did you do something special to get the step count in the fossil smartwatch app to work? Mine doesn't work so I downloaded the google fit all but is also doesn't work..... The Fossil smartwatches app doesn't register any steps at all and if I download the google fit app and connect is to the fossil app it counts a couple of steps and then stops completely.
Does os3 work with iPhone please let me know
@@karannair6885 Nope. iPhones are not supported. If you are able to move to Android in the future, then you can enjoy more of variety from Fossil Gen 6 models and other brands that run Wear OS 3.
I wasn't aware when I updated my watch that it had all the missing features but I honestly don't mind and I'll wait for the updates to come for the watch.
I definitely believe they're will eventually be updates that solve the problems, but when comparing my new pixel watch to the fossil Gen 6 with the new update, it's very easy to see the new shortcomings the Fossil watch has with the new OS.
You should always reset the watch after updating to any new firmware. Not doing door could cause conflicts between the old and new one.
I upgraded and it's really marred my experience with this watch. Its stopped connecting to my Pixel 6 automatically, and it doesn't reset things like steps/distance/calories everyday. E.g. it's 7:22 am and my watch is saying I've done 6934 steps.
It also resets all of my settings EVERY DAY.
Its been a really bad experience for me. I can't wait until the update comes. If there's a way to roll back to Wear OS2 I will absolutely do it.
Unfortunately Fossil has confirmed there's no way to go back. Hopefully updates come out quickly
I upgraded and I like it except no Google Assistant but that eventually come hopefully sooner than later
I really do miss the mapable buttons, Google assistant, and full flashlight. Comparing it to the Pixel watch that actually runs wearOS 3 well it makes me think they really rushed getting the update out there
Plan to buy as Christmas gift. I wear garmin now and need a running app. But I only wish to wear 1 watch... Can you please help to check wear os 3 support running app like strava or nike run club app? Thank you very much. Appreciate
I am unable to check in the original OS2.3 supports them, but they are generally available on WearOS3. They're still seems to be some intermittent problems using the watch sensors through third party apps that fossil is working on, you may or may not experience intermittent problems with this in the beginning
I upgraded. My biggest issue is the sensors on Facer no longer work. Not the biggest deal as the battery lasts so much longer and I have no more "runaway" battery drains. I did lost 5 days of Google fit data because I didn't know I had to enable it through Fossil.
Definitely faster, less lags. Worth it to me.
I'm hoping for some quick updates to get it working like it did before. It has been a great watch for the past year!
I upgraded my fossil gen 6 smart watch n could not get connected bluetooth.i need some help please
@@longmeilanmeilung512 did you download the fossil smartwatch app?
Yes I have downloaded the fossil smart watch app.what should I do now bro
If you swipe down for the quick settings on Homescreen you can tap and hold the battery quick-settings to get in the battery-mode menu like on WearOS 2.
Flashlight is probably getting fixed.
I can agree with the missing assistant but Fossil publicly announced that before the update and none had to update. Still sad, but if you're one of the early adopters.. seems like you have to swallow that one.
I like it better that way than waiting another few month until also Assistant is working on Wear OS 3 with that snapdragon
I updated my Fossil Gen 6 yesterday. Button functionallity is the only thing I lost. The top button is now configured to use Alexa or Google Assistant. That's the only choices. Center button is supposed to take you to Fossil Home (home, launcher, picker, I don't know).
It took awhile, but I got the Flashlight back on the bottom button assignment. But it's a lot dimmer than before. I used to , before I updated, had Google Fit on the top and for me that was excellent. I also was able to move the order of my apps in alphabetical order. I had a bunch of apps that aren't being loaded from Play Store for the watch. My Gen 5, for now, was more flexible how I wanted to set it up. BTW, the Fossil website says to change buttons by tapping on app you want, make sure you're signed in to the right account, and then swipe left. Did not work. Grrrrrrr!
Hi there, I just bought the Fossil Gen 6 and I haven't upgraded and glad I didn't How long will I be able to not upgrade before it makes me? I need it to read my google text messages/emails and count my steps without using a fitness app? I love the look of it and I got it for $199.00 so I would like to keep it but if I can't leave it as is, I will return it.
Right mines is on the way i will not update either i rather leave it as is
@@Jae87217 I returned mine because my Samsung watch started working again. I didn't have a problem with it but it was very limited. Do not upgrade it from what I remember but it's been a minute.
Hello, the problems related to the transition to Wear OS 3 has been resolved? Is there an update in January? Thanks very much
Still waiting on details of a January update, still no Google Assistant as I'm aware but most other issues have been solved. The fossil group is still working on perfecting the new operating system in this watch
@@4KMotoring thanks a lot for your answer! i waiting for make the update on my watch.
I've wore a smart watch since the moto 360 gen1 also!!!! I've noticed that wear os is starting to fail and lose features... I've also noticed you never want to update... Sad but true
My pixel watch is absolutely smoother in operation than my first gen Moto 360 was, but doesn't seem to have any notable additional features, at least. None that I find truly useful.
Unfortunately I upgraded, as fossil sent a message on my phone and watch to upgrade. I have all the problems you have plus I use the fossil "Blue" watch face and every time you press to see the time it momentarily shows the time of the last time you viewed it then catches up to the right time not good. Why don't these manufacturers do that thing called testing before they send updates because all it dos is p*ss users off
Wow Google(and Fossil in part) totally messed this up. Fossil wanted to show commitment to software updates by wanting to push as soon as it could, sooner than Mobvoi etc. That's a huge mistake especially considering that Fossil's current userbase don't use fitness stuff much and are mainly in it for being a 'companion device' to the phone. So, Google assistant is like the top feature for most.
Fossil should've known its customer base better...
Google doesn't have a working version of Assistant for any Snapdragon powered wear 3 watches(Montblanc Summit 3 also doesn't have it) which is even more appalling.
How's the battery life in the initial testing? Is that slightly better/same/worse?
It is pretty disappointing to say the least that the apparent snapdragon architecture is not supported with the new Wear OS. As for battery life, happily I can report that. There hasn't really been a change, if anything, the slightest improvement. I was worried that taking away the battery modes that Fossil offered would negatively impact the watch, but it is still almost identically the same... Then again the features that don't work I'm sure aren't using battery so that may change.
@@4KMotoring For me using an iPhone It was way worse. By afternoon it went into low power mode. I had to recharge by dinner time and I didn't use anything except the usual pulse and activity tracking.
Hey! I updated my Fossil Gen 6 as well to Wear OS 3, is there any kind of way to flash wear os 2 back to the watch to be able to use it again properly? My Google stuff doesn't get synced, watch disconnects from bluetooth automatically after a while and also this new flashlight is deal breaking for me as well, Google killed the whole purpose of the app.
I have received this question a lot, I have emailed Fossil about this and will update everyone with an answer
Sad answer is, there is no way to go back. Once you update, youre stuck with WearOS 3.0
My watch also same like this bro
@@4KMotoring
MK watch completely stuck
Can't even pair to the phone
Even reaching basic settings is not possible
Wish I had watched this video before eagerly hitting download and then install earlier today when notified about the available update. Anyway, when it came to installation and setup, it asked to download the Fossil smartwatch app and pair with the watch. Watch appeared, I clicked pair, matching 6 digit code appeared on watch and phone screens, approved it and nothing after that. App screen seems to hang and after sometime watch screen says 'couldnt pair devices'. So, am stuck ! Any thoughts / help would be much appreciated.
Not sure what phone you're using, restarting both, and possibly redownloading the fossil watch app may help
Thanks. I did try that and a whole host of the usual suspects but to no avail. Eventually, tried connecting it to another phone and voilà! It immediately worked. Turns out some problem with my S7 Edge's bluetooth. Even tried clearing the system cache, bluetooth's cache but no success. Anyway, lets see. Thanks for youe reply !👍
Is there anyway to revert back to OS 2? My watch is now buggy and my running apps no longer have GPS working
Unfortunately not, I spent about an hour with fossil tech support online and came to the conclusion that there is no way to revert back once you upgrade to 3.0
I updated both my gen 6 watches the other day because Google actually took Assistant off all the watches apparently. I read an article about how the company is trying to cut costs. I'm also having a problem with the display no longer going into the dim mode.The display is always just on unless I change the settings to turn it completely off
I just noticed the other day that assistant is missing from my my watch and was replaced with Alexa option even though I haven't updated 😔. Still not updating yet because I use Google fit a lot
I wish I'd seen this video before upgrading :(
Does anyone have an issue with heart rate not getting appropriately measured after the upgrade?
It seems to be picky about which apps it works with now
I have a question... I got the update but I'm confused about the music remote control at the fossil gen 6 it just loading and I drop back to the main watch face.. I mean the remote control for play, stop, skip and volume do you have a solution or it's just a bug ?
Hmm, mine seems to still be working fine after the update. On the home screen there's a little icon on the bottom when music is playing (RUclips Music App), when I click on it a window opens up to control the music. Try restarting?
@@4KMotoring I try already restart it doesn't work if I press die small icon it's loading and drop me back to the main screen 🤔
I told myself, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!" Well, all I can say is I wish I had seen this video first. Though the watch is connected via Bluetooth, the Fossil app (iPhone) will not connect to it. But the strange thing is, I am somehow getting messages from the phone on the watch! I'm baffled!
WearOS3 does not share compatibility with iOS. The notifications are likely from the Wi-Fi connection rather than Bluetooth pairing
You yourself said its not a forced update, its not ready yet, has unfinished features and bugs and also know they will be addressed in future updates for those who did install update early and then lament about same bugs and lack of features, felt counterintuitive
True, but WearOS3 was released a year ago by Google... Seems like Fossil had plenty of time to optimize it for their watch...
I am in Singapore and the alexa smartwatch app is not available for my gen 6 wear os 3.. it worked in my previous wear os version before the update, and now i have no assistant :(
Same with meeehh 🥹🥹 soo saadd , how yaaa we hve assistant again?
What is up with Google and the Assistant? It’s like they purposefully wanted it NOT available for the Wear OS Watches as every single watch has debuted 3.0 without the Assistant being ready. Why do that? Just wait until it is ready. And what precisely is taking so long to get it ready? They *finally* released it for the Galaxy Watch 4 nearly a year after it debuted. Now all the other brands are following a similar lack of assistant availability. Is it really that difficult a task? Once it is running on a particular platform does it have to be endlessly customized for each Watch? I have no idea but it seems whatever way Google is doing it is not a good way. And considering I was able to side load the Go! Version of the Google Asst on even my Galaxy Watch and it worked perfectly well for information purposes and many other tasks,I find it hard to believe Google couldn’t include a “pre release” or “beta” version on every platform for at least 80-90% functionality. Most people with watches would appreciate that far more than nothing at all. Whatever the case, I want to know because it doesn’t make sense and Google has to be playing some weird game or research or something! Someone in the know reveal all to us, please! :-)
My best guess is an ongoing battle between Google and Qualcomm/ Snapdragon at this point. The Pixel Watch came with the Google Assistant ready to go out of the box, due to their integration with Samsung in the development of wareOS3. Google did not optimize the new OS3 for the Snapdragon Wear 4100 processor.
I am just using my Fossil Gen 6 for the first day and upgraded it... I can't believe Google assistant is not available. Is it expected to be?. Also, should I use Wear OS app in the phone or Fossil app, to control and configure this Smartwatch? Lastly, can you schedule extended battery mode for the night automatically? Thanks a lot!!
With the new wear OS version, you have to use the manufacturer app, not the old Wear OS app. There is a bedtime setting for the watch which turns off the touch sensitivity and some of the features for better battery conservation and sleep tracking. There is a version of an extended battery mode that's not as customizable as it used to be with fossil, but does a lot of the same things.
@@4KMotoring oh I see, thanks for clarifying it! I'll stick to the Fossil app then, it's quite good actually. Regarding the bedtime setting I can't find it, do you mean the extended mode? Or is it like different?. I am currently trying different modes to extend the battery since always on screen seems to consume too much, I'm going to try with screen off and tilt to wake. The thing that I miss is to automatically have the bedtime mode enabled following a schedule. Thanks a lot for replying
@@4KMotoring Still stuck on pairing... What to do??
I noticed Google assistant didn't work on 2.0 earlier this week and instead tapping the mic started to direct me to Alexa as the default. Couldn't figure it out and then I realized there was an update which lead to WearOS 3 install. So no matter update or not Google Assistant is gone.
Google assistant was working fine for me prior to the update
Delete Alexa and it'll work again
@@Gaetano.94 are u sure? I miss my google assistant
Uninstall the latest Amazon update since you cannot uninstall it completely. Your assistant should be back after that!
@@ReneeWalters how to uninstall ? Tutorial please
Hi, so i shouldn't buy it right? I've read a lot of negative things about this watch since the new update was released.
I'll be releasing another video in a couple days about their latest update, fossil seems to be working hard to restore the utility of this. Watch, the update. Really did set it back but it is available at a pretty cheap price online now which makes it pretty tempting in hopes that it will soon be back up to its original glory
I just updated today, having thought it would just be a minor incremental update. To say it's ruined my Fossil Wear experience would be an understatement. This update should never have been released. There are too many features removed and broken features. My battery life has absolutely tanked. There was no warning at all about my watch needing to be wiped for the update to work properly. Not working in the Wear app and having no Google Assistant is absolutely unforgivable. Whoever decided to release that update needs to be fired. It's incomplete. I purchased my watch on launch day for the features it now no longer has. I wish I'd looked into the update before just installing it. I'm at the point where I am considering selling it
It definitely isn't the watch it used to be. I've been dailying the Pixel Watch for the last few weeks and am much happier
I have another reason. For ~3 days now it drops the pairing and will not reconnect without a factory reset and complete re-setup.
It will run all day without falling over if I leave it on one of the included faces and don’t run any other apps.
It will fail with an hour or so if:
I use any app
Measure my blood oxygen using the tile
Add an external face
Go to sleep (Not sure if that is rolling over and blocking bluetooth for extended or accessing sensor data for sleep tracking)
You should be OK if you don't disable the first privacy option in the phone app settings. After a few days of turning things on by the hour and then turning that off it seems to be the culprit.
Basically, it is currently set to 'Let me spy or I will continuously fail'
I listen to your video, Google itself is not on Gen 6 update, that's why you don't see anything Google. Google is not allowing it because of there Pixel watch system. I bought Gen 6 and was told to update the next date. Grant, you I have had gen 5 for two years. Given to my Nephew (whom I could not get it back to now) was happy when I was using the OS wear software, upgrade to Fossil OS wear, and lost Google as I stated, where I have Alex on my home stuff, was not happy to get it on my watch. No Google, To get google back I went back to the store and swapped watches (also my Gen 6 every 4 hour reset itself, wiped out my stuff I just ask Gen 6 to do. Happily, the store swaps the watch, so I am back with Google. Until I read that google assist., is in the new update, I will not update, yes, I liked the look but not having Google assist or google stuff. This is why google fit doesn't work, any part of google will not work on the update, hello... The kid is happy with Gen5 because he will not be able to update his software, lol. I will in a year when Google ok's google to be part of the update. Sorry, Alexa, you are ok with my home stuff... it doesn't even message I don't get how Alexa is good for Gen 6? over and out.
If apple gave a incomplete update for their watches then people would have gone mad. Idk why more people dont talk about these issues.
whats the status in March 2023? Google3 Assistant came back or will come back?
No major changes thus far that I'm aware of, Fossil still says the Google Assistant will come back... No timeline yet
So happy I got rid of the watch. I got the Oppo Watch 3 Pro, doesn't run Wear OS but Android 11 AOSP. has the new Snapdragon W5 Gen1 and the battery lasts 5 days. I love it so so much!!
I waited almost 2 years for this update. Meh.. what's a few more months. Like you said, it's just a watch.
I had updated my fossil gen 6 and yet i cannot save my credit card in google wallet before the upgrade i enjoy paying with my contacless google pay apps and now its not working no matter how many times i reset my watch so embarassing this update.
It's so buggy I can't imagine why they even made it available. The Pixel watch is working flawlessly on WearOS3, so it is possible
it feels like Samsung tested it made it all perfect then ripped out there stuff handed it over to fossil and they've bodged it to get it out quick for the fossil gen 6 wellness watch before everyone goes out to buy a pixel watch.
doesn't count steps anymore on the watch faces but they do register in fossils crappy app, wellness is just crap unless you want to go for a run, I reinstalled google fit and it works fine for steps, they prob didn't include it because they want you to use wellness or it was rushed out.
everything is just buggy as hell when you charge it, it resets a lot of settings and you pretty much have to reset everything how you like it.
fossils crappy app was actually for there hybrid watches and its just been bodged so it now connects to the gen 6
What matters now is how quick is fossil going to fix it or are they just gonna say " ahh well kinda works we'll work it out for our next watch"
Since a few weeks. The watch is telling me that there is an Update available in Germany.
In the text it says you are not able to down grade after the update. Die Google assistant is not available as well as Google pay it says.
I did not Update because I use Google assistant and pay on a daily basis.
Why are they doing this?
I believe it to be because of the war Google is having with Qualcomm and not supporting their snapdragon processors in any new phones or equipment. The Fossil watch with the second generation Android Wear software is fantastic, but is useless with the third and you can't go back. At this point, don't do it
@@4KMotoring won't do it. But why even produce an update when it's working okay already? Making an update because of the war with Qualcomm, which already sold it's products for this watch? Who makes the updates? Google or Qualcomm?
The update is made by Google, as is the operating system. Google has their new Pixel watch, and partnered with Samsung to make the new OS3, it's going to be good eventually but there seems to be very little support for Qualcomm products
Any update we can safely update Gen 6 to 3.0?
I have not yet heard any January updates, but if you're okay without the Google Assistant most of the minor bugs have been solved in the December update.
After updating to wear os 3, I’m not even able to reply to notifications, making the purpose of notifications on my watch almost useless. Is there any way I can fix this?
Waiting for an update from fossil is about the only fix available to this time
@@4KMotoring are they likely to bring any update to fix these issues?
@@shreyas3109 From my conversation with them, they are actively working on solutions to these problems. No timeline has been given.
Anyone that bought the watch now and decided to update it to 3.0(now you dont have to tap the screen, you just check for updates), just don't. After updating it to 3.0 I couldn't get the watch to connect with my phone wia fossil app. It just said connection failed and try again but there is no try again button, you have to close the app and start again and if you do that it says connecting wia bluetooth failed. Restarting the watch gives the same result. I had to factory reset the watch every time the pairing failed. Tried it 3 times and it still wouldn't connect, plus you can't get the older version 2.30 back. Very disappointed
Same problem with me.. How to get old version??
you cannot
@@subhendumaity7711
I like the new look and the fact that you now can install the google home app. But there are definitely some big problems with the new update.
- battery life reduced to only half a day.
- no google assistant, hopefully it will become back soon.
- doesn't count steps anymore, not with the fossil wellness app nor with google fit. With google fit it only counts steps in work out more but not my day to day steps.
- the watch faces are not so customizable anymore for example the watchface named blue you could pick your own color with a color wheel, that is gone...
- loss off Bluetooth connection, I mean it disconnects a lot....
For me the fact that it stopped counting steps is a huge problem, makes the watch almost useless for me so I hope that gets fixed soon.
Does anyone else has the same problem with the watch not counting steps in both Fossil's own app and in google fit?
Funny my battery life has become 1.5 days post update whereas earlier it wouldnt last half a day. Also facing the bluetooth bug, steps bug
@@karthiknaik3944 indeed funny! It was supposed to get better but my battery life really reduced a lot, even if I turn of continuous heart rate, reduce the brightness of the screen etc.
It took a long time to download but battery life is great
doesn't count steps anymore but they do register in fossils crappy app, I reinstalled fit and added a complication to a watch face for fit steps and they work
Can fossil smart watches pair to I phones
Not ones running WearOS3, anything running earlier software can
Waiting for update on ticwatch...yes, we are still without wear os 3. Most of negatives can be fixet by ADB(installing google assistant, custom flashlight, remap app for buttons).
Hope we will get it whenever...
It's definitely an interesting time with smart watches, with the new operating system and flagship watches coming out, you think Android watches are on the verge of something big... But seeing how the update has reacted with more typical watches... I'm skeptical
Can you still install google assistant on a ticwatch pro?
@@roselanguste4120 yep, I still can do it
A year later, and they've retroactively removed access to Assistant entirely for 2.x wear os watches, as well as deleting huge amounts of functionality. Lock screen? Gone. Ability to turn vibrate on ring on and off? Gone. I've heard that under Wear OS 3, they only provide six built-in faces. Facer and such waste battery power and are inferior in terms of battery life than built-ins. Wish I could find out of that was true.
It's basically become unusable as a smartwatch at this point. Super disappointing.
I am not able to connect to wear OS Mobile App.
After the update, the WearOS app no longer works, you must use the fossil smartwatch app
I don't even use my gen 6 watch anymore. Can someone please help me roll back??? 😢
Not possible per fossil. Once it's updated, you're stuck there. Seems like WearOS3 was meant to boast Google and Samsung watches only
And those who have michael kors gen 6 good luck with the new app, lot of features missing and forced to use the mk app rather than wear os
I'm stuck at pairing the watch right now
Basically can't use it anymore
Any idea on how to deal with this issue?
how to change os 3 the os 2 on
You cannot change back once you upgrade to OS3
Just did the update and found my iOS version won't allow Google pay. Everything about this update sucks. I'm returning my Fossil watch
Unfortunately this update turned a fantastic watch into garage
o.O
Does he know he got Scalped by a native😅
Hello
You made a very bad update.
No more google sync, can't assign actions to the buttons anymore, "do not turn off the screen" will automatically turn on, can't connect to the "facer" app in the app, has no sync with the calendar, no more wrist gestures, doesn't count steps.
Finally, I want to tell you that you have ruined everything. You have lost the uniqueness of the watch that I used to be proud of. I bought this watch because of its uniqueness. was distinguished by its design and software. Now there's a useless mass of iron that looks like poor smart watches.
That's how I'm feeling about the watch as well, I was fully planning on returning the pixel watch and using my Fossil watch for another year or two... But after this update it is all but bricked.
@@4KMotoring It's true that the clock has slowed down, notifications arrive late, nothing works normally anymore. Why did I upgrade? Can you go back?
I've heard others say the old version now loses the same features.
Why is a car channel doing a tech/watch review? This is weird.
Because I like both and do not have the time nor total content to devote to two completely separate channels. Can't please all the people all the time, sometimes they all watch my RUclips channel 🤷🏻♂️
WEAR OS!
I like os 3.0 but I have a better watch
I have mixed feelings, OS3 on my Pixel watch runs fantastically, but ware OS2 allowed for far better customization of watch hardware and was pretty well mastered by fossil.
