Fossil Smartwatches Customer Insights

1. Additionally, it would be nice if it were possible to modify all watch settings from the app, as it would be more convenient/faster in some cases.Last update destroyed functionality.

2. The app doesn't update automatically, and when you force it to do so it takes ages, which means that the data you see on your phone and in Google Fit is wrong, which means that there's no real point in looking at your watch to see how far you've walked, how long you've slept, etc.

3. The music control no longer works properly, the watch disconnects more than ever now, and the battery life has been cut by a third.

4. The user interface on the watch is better in some ways but clunky in others.

5. As an Engineer myself, overall a downgrade, from what was there previously.Several months on the app crashs and is so slow.With the new user interface on the phone there are more clicks to get to the information you want.

6. The best thing about the app is customizing my watch face.It can't stay connected to my watch.

7. There are three buttons on the watch, why not let me use them (quick messages, music controls etc).

8. It's not more streamlined, just makes the watch less capable.I have recently started using this app and although I'm still learning how it works.

9. Edit: and now I am in the process of resetting my watch, hoping I'll be able to get it to connect.

10. Overall, I'd describe this app and the Wear OS 3 experience as inferior to the experience on previous Gen 5/Wear OS 2 watch.

11. I love the design of the gen 6 watch, the e-ink is dark and visible even under the sun.
