Revainrating 3 out of 5

Great watch/terrible app

This is my review of: Fossil Sloan HR Gen 4 Women's Smartwatch with Stainless Steel Touch Screen About the watch: This watch is great. I got this for my wife and she was happy camping with it. The watch is round, slightly larger than most women's watches, but that's understandable as this is a smart watch. The straps are nice, but they can be replaced very easily if you don't like them. The closure is magnetic for a comfortable fit. The charging adapter reminds me of a wireless charger, plus it's magnetic. The battery was discharged from 100% to 0% in about 12-14 hours. The battery was fully charged in about 1 hour. About the app: Installation was pretty easy, but I had problems right away. First the application didn't want to connect to the router, then it didn't connect to the application. After that, the connection to the phone was completely disconnected when the phone went to sleep. Looking at the app reviews on the App Store, it turns out that these issues are common since most people have other smartwatch models. watch maker but marred by all the issues with the app itself. I was struggling between rating this 3 or 4 stars. If I was just rating the quality of watches and their functionality I would probably give 4 to 5 stars. However, I would not rate the app higher than 2 stars. Considering that this smartwatch was very expensive, my expectation for the quality of the whole product should be higher and that's why I rated it 3 stars. If they ever fix the app I will update my review accordingly. The issues I observed may not be present in the Android version of the app, but if you have an iPhone I wouldn't buy this unless it was very expensive.

Pros
  • Great overall performance
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
