Review on 🌟 Enhance Your Life with Skagen Connected Falster 3 Gen 5: A Stainless Steel Touchscreen Smartwatch with Heart Rate, GPS, NFC, and Smartphone Notifications! by Robert Fulce

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Excellent watch happy with purchase

Bought this watch to replace the Galaxy Watch Active. Samsung uses Tizen OS on its watches and WearOS is very similar. The watch face is large compared to the size of my wrist, which I think is a good thing. I love how the leather strap contrasts with the black dial, but it's difficult to clean. On the other side of the skin is black silicone with grooves that gets sweat and such. A toothbrush is required for thorough cleaning. In terms of usage, I have no issues with battery life. I am using user mode. Face charging is adorable. As you charge, a character will appear pulling a white rope that matches the charging cable. Nice gesture. The Skagen watchfaces are good but the choice is limited so I use the Facer app to customize the watchface. The watch has three buttons on the right side of the dial. The middle one allows you to close the screen and scroll through certain applications. You can set the other two to open the app of your choice. The watch syncs network settings with your phone, so you can send messages and more when your phone isn't around. For example, I left my cell phone at home and went to my friends. Because I've connected to friends' WiFi in the past, I've been able to receive emails and read/reply to messages without my phone. I'm sure if someone calls I could keep the conversation going with the microphone/speaker function. Speaking of which, the speaker is a cool feature, but I find it weird to speak into the watch and the sound quality is okay. The caller on the other line said he couldn't hear me. I've only used this feature once so it may have been a one off issue. You can also set the speaker to play notification tones. Cool feature, but when your phone is on, both devices play tones for the same notification. Better if you use the watch as a standalone device. Ok google works fine, I use it most of the time to set timers lol and it works fine. The watch seems solid enough; I accidentally banged the dial against the wall and no cracks/scratches. In general, after a month of daily use, I am satisfied with the purchase. Tizen and watchOS have very similar features and functionality, so I was a bit disappointed when setting it up. Speaker features, customization options, and looks are a nice upgrade. I read a lot of complaints about the battery life before buying it. There are no battery issues and you can tweak features to save power if that's the case.

Pros
