I am an analog watch lover. I refused to give up real clock hands and the classic look. I also refuse to be a slave to a night loading job that requires me to take off my watch. However, I watched wistfully as other smartwatch wearers glanced at their wrist for an unheard text notification or to check their heart rate. Why can't I have both!?! - Well, as luck would have it, Fosil must have read my mind! This watch gives me the best of both worlds. Analog hands are always nearby, they work like…

I recently upgraded from Withings Steel HR Sport to Fossil Collider HR. These are beautiful watches. I work in an office where all my colleagues are proud of their watches. I'm glad this display compares well to its premium analog counterparts. The e-ink display does the job perfectly! The resolution and contrast aren't quite on par with the Kindle Paperwhite, but I was still satisfied. Some other perks I like is a clean interface on the watch itself.

Let me first say that I had high hopes for this smartwatch - looks great 2 Weeks of battery life, customizable watch faces; it seemed like the complete package.

I really loved both of them and couldn't seem to find a new watch to replace them with. I was interested in buying the collider when I first saw it, but the reviews were pretty bad. Apparently there were only 13 apps that notifications worked for and I didn't use most of them so I wanted to give them up. Then I saw on the Fossil Hybrid subreddit that they had…

update disappears two days after my first check. After further consideration, I am changing this rating drastically. I really want to love this watch, but it really gets on my nerves. By the way, I still think this is the best hybrid available. I'm so confused! I'm so annoyed with the software for this watch that I downgraded it to three until Fossil fixes it (I'll up it to four stars then). I'm not sure if this watch was mature enough to be released. But it might work. Programmatically fixable
