Review on πŸ‘© Fossil Stainless Leather Smartwatch for Women by Marlo Schlachter

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Stylish, sleek and functional

I'm learning to love this watch. I was initially skeptical and there are still a few minor hiccups, but overall this watch and I are well connected. I've put off smartwatches for a long time because I don't like the "look" and I don't want my phone controlling them. It definitely solves both problems. I didn't like the silver watch strap so I bought this leather strap from another seller (I accidentally put it on the wrong way round πŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ) Here are some of my pros and cons: Pros: - great for my small wrists (I hesitated between Monroe or Charter, but the Charter is a few mm thicker - although I like the thicker strap on the Charter, I'm glad I went with the smaller dial) - the optics are very classy and classy. - tracks movement - handy for movement and sleep, lightweight - battery lasts 12 days and charges in an hour - tracks sleep (deep/light/awake) - the face is very easy to set up and you can easily create multiple different face profiles Inclusion apps (so you can change it to say different things during a workout, for example) - the buttons are customizable and have a variety of options - the in-app support and help is really quick and helpful, and it's simple, direct to talk to a real person with them - uses cell phone GPS to track workouts - accurate heart rate monitor - hands glow in the dark for a while after lights go out Cons: - hand gesture, hands move to get a better view of the screen, works too about 75% of the time. - Double tap to turn on the light works e.g. B. also in 75% of the cases. - The range of my phone is very short - if I'm 6 meters away from my phone in the bathroom, they stop talking. - The training function can be very annoying when running in the city. Every time I stop at an intersection, he asks if I'm still training and I can either say "Yes, keep following" or "No, stop following". There is no pause function. So I just ignore it, but after going through so many crossroads it's getting old. - It took me a while to get used to using 3 buttons to navigate through all the options, but I got the hang of it and it's quite user-friendly. - not many watch strap options (had to find a 3rd party option) or screen protector options (will make my own with contact paper)
