Review on 📱 Fossil Women's Gen 5E 42mm Stainless Steel Touchscreen Smartwatch with Speaker, Heart Rate Monitor, Contactless Payments, and Smartphone Notifications by Patrick Johnson

This watch is great. I was looking for a wearable that would allow me to interact with my Google ecosystem (I have a lot of smart home stuff, so I don't want to be constantly looking for a phone/speaker to do what I need ). It also controls some apps (like Spotify) and can be used with NFC (which is great for keeping your phone away for quick purchases). It has the smallest keyboard, which made me laugh at first, but it works (when swiping)! Notifications are a great way to keep up with email, breaking news, and more throughout the day without having to pick up the phone. It even shows me a photo of the transmission from my video intercom when someone automatically enters the door (I've never used this feature on my phone, but with a clock it's very handy). I use Duo for work (2fa) and it even notifies me on the clock so I can approve the connection *when* my phone is unlocked. I would like to see the google authenticator here because I use it for personal 2fa (haven't found it yet but am still learning). confuses the battery life because I don't get enough for a full day and night on one charge (I also wanted to use it as a sleep tracker but it takes an hour to charge so I can charge it at dinner and breakfast and wear it the rest of the time time when I want to be in the office and not look like I'm wearing gym clothes). But for my purposes it works great. I deducted a star because you don't have access to the entire app store and some of the apps I wanted (smart home) weren't available, but with the ability to use the Google Assistant it doesn't matter.
