Classy Smartwatch
Yes, all day to this beautiful watch. I am a huge Fossil fan and have worn their watches now for years as they are just great watches. This one though is just beautiful and goes with everything I wear, which I love a watch that is versatile and can be dressed up or down, and this is that watch. It's got just the right amount of bling and is just classy.Now the best part about this watch is it's also a smartwatch. Just by looking at it, you'd never think that because it looks like a normal classy watch, but by using the app, which is awesome on its own btw, you can keep track of all your stuff you want and even get notifications from different contacts. You can also use your watch to control your music and your phone. This watch is just everything and more than you would think. It's amazing and works wonderfully.

A nice looking watch, but the smart features seem gimmicky
I think Fossil have done quite a good job with this one, and my wife was certainly impressed when she took it out of the box and played around with it. At first glance there’s not much to give away that this is anything but a regular analog wristwatch. The case is a little thicker than you’d expect, but apart from that it looks just like an attractive, fairly elegant watch.I’m not all that sure about what this thing can actually do, as I bought it for my wife and it’s currently living on her wrist. While I’m on the subject I don’t think Fossil have done a great job of explaining exactly what this *can* do. I’m reviewing it while my wife is away for the day with her family, so I figured I’d take a look at the list of features in the instruction booklet. Nope. It just directs me to download the app or visit the website. I don’t want to download an app for a phone that belongs to my wife, so I visited the Support section of the website... where I was directed to download the app. Help me out here, Fossil.All I know is that my wife loved the fact that she could control the music on her phone with the crown. She’d never seen anything like that before and it tickled her, but since the first hour of playing around with it she hasn’t used the feature again.I think that’s the only real issue here. Smart watches are all well and good, but if they only offer amusing gimmicks rather than anything that’s actually useful they’ll only ever be a novelty. You can control the music on your phone? Great, I suppose, but how often would you want or need to do that? You get notifications of texts? OK, but unless you can read them on the face of the phone - and then dictate a reply into the phone, Star Trek style - I don’t really see the point.Meh. All that aside, this is a very nice looking watch. The smart features that I’m aware of underwhelm me a little, but maybe there’s a killer feature I don’t know about because I don’t want yet another pointless app on my phone. If my wife raves about something in particular I’ll update the review. In the meantime it’s just a nice watch, and I’d have no problem recommending it for its looks alone.

Sleek and beautiful hybrid watch
This is a beautiful hybrid smart watch! It has a perfect rose gold finish and is delicate and feminine. The app was easy to download and took two tries to get all set up. You can assign functions to the three buttons on the side of the watch face. I have mine set for step goals and music as I use these the most. It was tricky to remember which one was what but after a few days of wearing the watch, i got used to it.The app walks you through the set up steps and I was done in just a few minutes. I am over the moon with this beautiful watch. It is professional and clean looking and rose gold goes with so much! It vibrates when you get a call or text which is a nice subtle reminder/notification during meetings.

Sleek design and great features!!
This watch has a nice design. It's stylish and looks like a non-digital watch. At first, I didn't realize it would have all these awesome features but I can imagine going back now.Pros:- easy to set up- water-resistant to 165ft- iPhone and Android compatible- Calorie and steps tracker- Sleep Tracking- Camera remote- Find phoneCons:- vibration is not as strong as other brands like apple watch or Fitbit- According to the Manufacturer, the coin cell battery lasts up to 6 months, but that is not the case. I only used the watch 5 times and the battery is below 58% within a single month.Overall, It's very user friendly and I love the design, but the drawback is the battery duration is not as advertised.

So pretty, and functions like a FitBit
The watch feels super lightweight, and the band is thin and comfortable. It doesn’t pinch skin or pull hairs. The smart features were easy to figure out. Once I downloaded the app, all I had to do was hold a button on the watch and it paired to the app and set its own time. It tracks steps, will give notifications via vibration, tracks sleep, etc just like a FitBit would except that it is way more stylish. So far so good! I love it :)

Not what I expected: to hard to set up
The features were not easy to program or use

Nice looking watch but If you aren’t used to using apps, you may not like it.
This is a gorgeous looking wristwatch. While having the app features will appeal to some, there should be other means to program the item for those not interested in using the app or pairing it online.The instructions are rather meager as well. Overall, though, this is a terrific looking watch with some fine attributes but programming it should be easier and not dependent on using the app.
