Fossil Men’s Gen 6 44mm Stainless Steel and Cork Touchscreen Smart Watch, Stainless steel, Color: Black, Camo (Model: FTW4063V)

Updated, and everything is good.
Reading these reviews, it is clear not everyone knows how to use their smartwatch, which means updating their device. So before giving my review, I will use my review to educate people.First, plug your smartwatch into your charger. Tap the top of the screen and swipe down. Next, tap on the gear icon. Tap the bottom of the screen and swipe up until you see “system,” then tap on it to select “system.” Tap the bottom and swipe up again until you see “about” and then tap on it “about” to select it. Tap and swipe up (again) and select “System updates,” and install the available updates. Your smartwatch will reboot, AND you will need to repeat this process until there are no more updates.Fossil, like any Android device, is not without its partnerships. Unfortunately, that is part of why the battery may drain faster; for example, you do not need two (2) heart monitoring apps. The excellent news is Fossil had the foresight not to lock in those bundled apps, and you can uninstall (remove) them safely.To bring up the list of installed apps, quickly press the middle button. A long press will bring up Google Assistant, so be sure to press fast to bring up the app menu instead. Next, select “Play Store,” and within “Play Store,” swipe down to “My apps.” Select the app you may wish to uninstall (remove). You can always reinstall (re-add) if you change your mind, and the system (important) apps are protected and do not have the option to remove, so you have nothing to worry about and can do this safely.In the Wear OS app (on your phone or tablet), you should also disable any notifications you do not need to be sent to your smartwatch. My phone already receives a lot of notifications, and not all of them do I need to be passed onto my smartwatch. This, too, can save battery power.Now my opinion is Fossil did an excellent job of making a smartwatch. Although this is the 1st smartwatch that I own myself, I have experienced using a few other brands (Apple, Fitbit, Samsung, Amazfit). The truth is the technology, no matter if you use Android or Apple, is not perfect. For example, if I wake up but remain lying in bed playing with my phone, it may still be counted as “sleeping.” And if I try to measure my exercise inside my house, taking 100 steps may be counted as only 80 because the GPS and step counting are not perfect if you remain in a confined space. This is the same for every brand smartwatch I have used; there is a small margin of error. If you are expecting absolute perfection, the technology, in general, is not there.That said, Fossil’s battery, when you disable the “always-on screen” (located in the display setting), is suitable for well over a day with all the features enabled. The smartwatch is also durably made of solid stainless steel with a sold screen. They did not go cheap on the quality of the watch. I even took a long warm, soaking bath, going a bit above the swim test, and my smartwatch works fine. Fossil also supports both Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa, so I have the best of both worlds.Overall, I am satisfied with my Fossil smartwatch.

Awesome, but quirky
I love this watch!The first day was spent figuring things out, I got mine on sale and used. It showed up in excellent condition, like new really, but with zero original packaging, no paperwork, nothing other than the watch and charging cable.I got a lot of help from some reviews here, and also some YouTube videos.Yes, the battery is bad until you turn some stuff off, but mine lasts all day now with everything I want running. (Work notifications, health apps, weather, my calendar, etc)The watch does need to be monitored settings wise, it sometimes turns things back on that I have turned off, mostly the adaptive brightness and sometimes it turns wifi back on, but it seems like every day it has to be done less…almost like it is figuring things out?The watch looks and feels great, WAY better looking than my Galaxy 5, so it’s my everyday work watch now, and the Galaxy is for exercise and sleeping. (The Galaxy is a lot lighter, so I don’t notice it while in bed)The Facer app is also great, thousands of faces to choose from, but it is a subscription service. (Worth it to me for $9.99 a year, next year will be 35, we’ll see)Anyway, it’s a great watch, don’t be discouraged about the reviews harping on the battery unless a full day is just not enough for you.

De buena calidad

The watch is very stylish and feels like an expensive watch. Great value for the money. The battery only lasts for a day but it charges very quickly.
