"would I trade in my smartwatch for one of these?" "no" smh bro it's a hybrid. It's not supposed to substitute for a smartwatch. It's perfect for people like me who don't like wearing fugly screens on their wrists
Maybe not for everyone, but I want to be less attached to my phone, not more... So this is perfect. Only get notified if something important happens, don't worry about everything else. Seems great to me!
Hello friend great video I like the design of this watch a lot can you please inform if you can adjust time directly on the crown watch or do you have to use the phone app to adjust time, I ask this because I´m thinking on offering one to a older brother that has a phone without android. Thanks in advance.
The vibration is barely noticeable even on level 3. I thought maybe battery was low due to long shelf life, but renewing battery made no difference. Another watch to my collection but prefer to wear my Nuband or old Pebble which have decent vibration levels. Hopefully Fossil will update either software or firmwear to increase vibration. Until then I can't see me wearing it. Guess I could have returned it, but I do like to collect watches.
Good video! Thanks. It confirms my own opinion regarding these kind of watches. I was thinking to buy one in 2018 but fortunately I have dismissed the idea. Today I'm checking back to this reviews because I got one for Christmas hahaha..
I am having fossil Q hybrid watch, the only thinknruins my mind is that it has limited amount of notifications to be saved.. I mean with 3 push buttons only 3 notifications
What's the range like? Basically can i have my phone charging in my room, while I watch TV in the living room and know if I'm getting a call or message?
i prefer the hybrids to smartwatches with the screen the main thing is they look nicer and more 'original' if you know what i mean and when theyre about the same price as most other normal analogue watches from well known brands you might as well
I just purchased Fossil Q Hybrib watch. I want to know will it start showing time only after i connect with my phone ? Also If i set up my account and later if i give that watch to my wife so how she can reset that watch to her phone ?
Not positive we are talking about the same thing.. but for fossil q 0-100 is for step counter.. set a goal and it shows ur percentage throughout the day
Can someone please explain to me how to read the “steps” preset? When I have a watch button set to steps, it moves the watch hands but I can’t figure out how that translates. Today I had walked 7092 steps as per the app; but when I press the button, the watch hands move to 1o’clock? My goal is set as 10’000.
Does this Fossil Hybrid watch have a receive function to sync up with the towers or have world time to automatically change times when traveling between time zones?
It syncs to your phone. So when your phone changes time (which it does when you travel between time zones), the watch changes time too. It doesn't sync to any other source though.
Great review man. Can I ask a question? If you set a contact to a number. Will a WhatsApp message from that contact also cause the hands point to that number?

The dial has small numbers around the edge from 1-31. You have the option of setting one of the side buttons for "Date", and when you push it, both hands point to the day it is.
It is, in fact, not wrong to use IIII as IV, it is more common to see IIII in traditional clocks, there are a few examples, like the Rathaus-Glockenspiel, a very famous clock in Germany which uses IIII instead of IV.
I looked into this recently because I was wondering the same thing. Apparently there is a reason for this and many watchmakers do this. It's referred to by some as the "watchmakers four" and the simplest answer is that it's easier to read on a clock face and provides a more symmetrical look. I found other reasons people mention online but who knows how many are true.
😯THANK U FOR HELPING ME NOT MAKE AN EXPENSIVE Decision. u saved me fr wasting $180 😌 im keeping the smart watch for my son instead of the hybrid watch idea instead.
I betcha you be stuffed doing a review without moving your arms and hands around :)))))))))))))))) Whats the point of this watch I don't get why you would buy it ? Looks great but why ? Do we really need to be a slave to our phone and notifications We might as well have notifications in plants , hopefully I'll be dead by then . Step out side and enjoy the world instead of being dictated by a 5 inch screen
A lot of us just have a cell phone for communication. Phones are used for a lot of useful stuff, such as: Receiving job offers Notifying family of emergencies Being notified when something goes down at work When a friend of family member needs a ride or help And lots of other time sensitive things. It's nice to have a watch to let you know when your phone is ringing or you are receiving a text in case you are outside "enjoying the world", and left your phone inside. Or you are just in a different room as your phone. The watch actually allows you to spend less time with your phone in your pocket all the time.
How is it worst in the "watch world"? I look at it, and I see the time..just like a watch. It also shows me the date. When I get a call or text, I get notified in case I'm not near the phone. I don't need to charge it, I just put it on. I don't need an ugly calculator-watch (which most smart watches look like) on my wrist that beeps at me for everything....then needs to be charged after 5 hours because of all the beeping.
"would I trade in my smartwatch for one of these?" "no"
smh bro it's a hybrid. It's not supposed to substitute for a smartwatch.

I have one and it's glorious my dude. I didn't get the ugly POS with a meterosexual leather band either.
@@FelixgreenYT you sound butthurt
@@EisenbergFlavour As I 4 months later am still wearing the watch right now, I could care less :)
Fax ion wan no ugly ass square on my wrist, plus that watch tuff asl😂
@@thaprojektkidd Then get a round one
Maybe not for everyone, but I want to be less attached to my phone, not more... So this is perfect. Only get notified if something important happens, don't worry about everything else. Seems great to me!
Fossil replaces the battery for free if you have a store near you and my watch has glow in the dark hands for reading the time at night.
You put the leather band into water.. lol xD
Why am I just seeing this! This is perfect for me, I literally leave my smartwatch on battery saver mode the entire time.
Thank you, That was a good review and worth while. We watched a few others first and did not think they helped. You were spot on with your opening.
How does "mode toggle" works?
question: Does the watch vibrate during the entire time the phone is ringing for an incoming call? or does it only pulse/vibrate once?
Only vibrates once

Hi, where is this leather band for the apple watch in 0:40 from ?
1:17 it didn’t took that long?
1:31
Broyher but i am unable to set the time
Does it only work when you use the app?
Sao mình không tìm ra mẫu đồng hồ Fossil thông minh của mình trên youtube.
Good video! Thanks. It confirms my own opinion regarding these kind of watches. I was thinking to buy one in 2018 but fortunately I have dismissed the idea. Today I'm checking back to this reviews because I got one for Christmas hahaha..
How has it been?
@@arturoalmeida16 Honestly, I'm wearing it as a regular watch. I don't think is practical nor convenient. I think the idea was good, but not for me.
Hy there. I buy a fossil q hybrid and i didnt find the Q key in the box. From where can i but one??? Thx
Would be perfect if it had a metronome as well as a heart rate monitor. Oh, and support for notifications from any app.
I would like to know how to use the commute button....?? How it all works and yeah.

What's the range like? Basically can i have my phone charging in my room, while I watch TV in the living room and know if I'm getting a call or message?
I think it's the standard Bluetooth range (328 feet)
Thanks for the review…btw can you tell me the model name of the watch beside fossil Q(Right hand side one). It was in the beginning of your video
Hello, what model number this watch in video?
i prefer the hybrids to smartwatches with the screen the main thing is they look nicer and more 'original' if you know what i mean and when theyre about the same price as most other normal analogue watches from well known brands you might as well

What are the music control capabilities other than volume, stop and start. Can you forward to the next song on your play list?
Monte Holder yes you can
@@waskithowee8885 Thank you so much!
Is it water proof
Yes at a certain ratting
What does the 0-100 scale mean on the bottom half of my Neely hybrid?
Not positive we are talking about the same thing.. but for fossil q 0-100 is for step counter.. set a goal and it shows ur percentage throughout the day
How does it changes songs
How can I put on battery saver? Because in one week the watch pass from 100% to 90%
Hi just wondering, is there a way of turning notifications off and on? I.e. turn off the buzz while I'm in class etc?
Hi it is hardly noticable to anyone but you you shouldn't have to worry about it.
@@FelixgreenYT Maybe it's not that he's scared of others noticing, but it may be distracting for himself.
How does the alarm function work. Or first of all does it have alarm ?? Please answer.......
Yes it's in the app
I have fossil There is a watch but its little hook is not working
Damn dude.
Nice vid.
Glad you were the first on the search list.
Can someone please explain to me how to read the “steps” preset? When I have a watch button set to steps, it moves the watch hands but I can’t figure out how that translates.

I have the fossil Jaqueline hybrid
I like full digital Android smartwatches but I don't like the lag. Are there any in the market that don't?
no, even android fanboys prefer the samsung watches about and have switched
How come yours says fossil Q and mine says Fossil Hybrid??
Whats the name of this watch
Qasim Ayub in the title
So how tell Callander date
Yep! Thanks for making it.
Really batteries still?
Smartwatch helps you but hybridwatch works with you and I think that's the good part of it,, if you know what I mean.
Does this Fossil Hybrid watch have a receive function to sync up with the towers or have world time to automatically change times when traveling between time zones?
It syncs to your phone. So when your phone changes time (which it does when you travel between time zones), the watch changes time too. It doesn't sync to any other source though.
Does it even Actually tell you the time?
It's got analog hands, so yes.
It's like ur asking if a phone makes calls
It
Is
A
Watch
No it's not telling you time. It doesn't have speaker but you can watch the dial to chechk time
lol
Can this watch show you time if it's not conectet to your phone ?
Yes it can.
Great review man. Can I ask a question? If you set a contact to a number. Will a WhatsApp message from that contact also cause the hands point to that number?

I don't like always on display. Still prefer analog looks. with this hybrid system, it's lovely. and they looking good too. will hunt for this one.
Is there any fossil hybrid smartwatches which the dial show date as well?
The dial has small numbers around the edge from 1-31. You have the option of setting one of the side buttons for "Date", and when you push it, both hands point to the day it is.
I just want notifications with a nice looking watch, perfect for me.
Do I have to turn on Bluetooth to use the watch just as showing the time??
No, if you mean in order for the watch to display the correct time. It doesn't require a phone connection.
Hotshot okey! Thanks for fast answer!
This was really helpful, thank you!
Anyone get really annoyed he water tested the watch with the leather straps
Great watch but I wish fossil knew roman numeral because they got the 4 wrong
It is, in fact, not wrong to use IIII as IV, it is more common to see IIII in traditional clocks, there are a few examples, like the Rathaus-Glockenspiel, a very famous clock in Germany which uses IIII instead of IV.
The Roman numeral for 4 is IV..... NOT IIII. How do you get that so wrong ?
I looked into this recently because I was wondering the same thing. Apparently there is a reason for this and many watchmakers do this. It's referred to by some as the "watchmakers four" and the simplest answer is that it's easier to read on a clock face and provides a more symmetrical look. I found other reasons people mention online but who knows how many are true.
I don't think I have ever seen a watch or clock with IV. Pretty much every one I have seen has IIII.
It's a watch. That had been the Roman Numeral for 4 on clocks and watches for centuries.
Is it waterproof tho?
Nevermind😂
Can you read the time in the dark?
Mine's hands glow in the dark
Can you swim with it?
Great review. Wasn’t sure about this watch but not I am. I am glad to you throughly explained the good and the bad
Add NFC payments and you got a deal.
That would be sick.
Imagine NFC on this thing 😍
is there a hybrid with NFC?
😯THANK U FOR HELPING ME NOT MAKE AN EXPENSIVE Decision.
u saved me fr wasting $180 😌 im keeping the smart watch for my son instead of the hybrid watch idea instead.
you call them watch hands, not arms. Neat review though.
Thanks for pointing that out, I didn't realize I said that haha.
You are going too fast to show the features , need to slow down a bit so we can see easily
Can we answer phone call just like apple watch?
No
Pls can i block my stolen fossil q hybrid smart watch.
Nice job reviewing a Hybrid Smart Watch, I honestly didn't even know the existed..

Nice review... especially “apparel item” label... good looking watch though
Definitely is a good looking watch.
I caught u using badoo and tinder apps 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Pablo Sánchez Fernández So what?

デザインはいまいち、フォッシルは3流メーカじゃなかったっけ？

Lucky. Bought mine at the store today for $205.
Can i skip songs with this watch?.
Yes
Wtf RUclips... how many more shitty ads are you gonna make me watch
I wish you could speak clearly. Editing would help with that
Thank you for sharing.
Get a microphone. 😉
Hahaha 😂😂😂 “RUN BRO” 👌 you must have had bad experiences in the past with your ‘ significant other’ 😋😂👍🥊

Prediction: Fossil declares bankruptcy in 2018.
Darm, I had no idea.
Fossil has purchased Skagen and is doing well. It is more than a watch company and runs other apparel businesses.
Fossil sock price has increased by 600% in 2018
Fossil has socks?
Dang, @@xqin74! Those must be some awesome socks! ;)
Cool watch. WWG1WGA
This is pointless. The best of both worlds? No, the worst of both worlds.
How is it worst in the "watch world"? I look at it, and I see the time..just like a watch. It also shows me the date. When I get a call or text, I get notified in case I'm not near the phone. I don't need to charge it, I just put it on. I don't need an ugly calculator-watch (which most smart watches look like) on my wrist that beeps at me for everything....then needs to be charged after 5 hours because of all the beeping.
Worst watch
Less battery life, need to replace battery every 15 days
Better to buy normal fossil watch
Yours must be defective, I've had mine for 7 months and the battery is still going strong.
Defective, go to the store and they’ll replace it with a newer one. Don’t get rid of it
I bought a fossil hybridwatch 2 months ago, and like you said. I have to replace the battery every two weeks. It's so annoying.
