Nice upgrade from Gen 5

So far I'm impressed. The 4100+ is a notable upgrade in terms of app responsiveness and speed. However, the battery life is the biggest difference. I've set up the battery with Bluetooth, GPS, Touch to Wake and Tilt to Wake: and with frequent use I still have 70% battery after 4 1/2 hours. This great watch will get even better when Wear OS 3 launches early next year.***First week of use: Very pleased so far. The battery lasted 26 hours and only reached 10%. A big improvement over Gen 5.

Pros
  • Great selection
Cons
  • Style 90

Junk battery life etc,

UPDATE: Refund due to many bugs and terrible battery life. Bought to replace my Galaxy watch and my goodness it has so many issues I thought they were already sorted out by the watchmakers let alone a fossil brand. problems so far-1. Battery life, that thing doesn't last a day like 7 hours with NFC and Tack Off. 2. Adjusting the bracelet requires tools that I don't have, so it's good that I ordered other bracelets when I bought them. 3. Apps need to be downloaded to change watch faces and they…

  • Certified

Don't buy this watch hoping for Wear OS 3.

Nobody should make a purchase based on "promises". Wear OS 3 will appear on this watch sometime in mid-2022. That's ridiculous. By then, these devices will be obsolete and Fossil, along with everyone else, will be building the next generation of devices. This watch is currently running Wear OS 2. Performance is universal, and the same software can be found on $100 watches. Look in the used Skagen Falster 3 section. They look better, have the same software version and are cheaper to find.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Quality

Love my new Gen 6 watch, best smartwatch ever

I must be a weird person but I love the Gen 6 watch. I bought them to replace the Fossil Hybrid HR Collider. I've had to contact Fossil support multiple times for this and it's always been one of the best customer service experiences I've had, which is why I stayed with them for a 'complete smartwatch'. OK. To jump to some points made by other reviewers. The app that gives you 10 watchface slots and wants you to upgrade to premium for 20 is Facer. It's just a Wear OS app from the Play Store, so

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Available in white only

Problems with the iron after 20 days

I bought it with pleasure. Ready to wait for Wear OS 3. The watch has been worn for 20 days, one of the buttons is now spongy, you can't feel the click anymore. Never be able to get 0-80% in 30 minutes. As advertised, it's more like 60 minutes. The battery lasts about 20 hours even when the watch face is off. Fitness tracking changes randomly a few hours after activity is logged. Google fitness. former. The workout says 500 calories in 90 minutes and after a few hours it will say I burned 100…

Pros
  • A lot of positive emotions
Cons
  • The cord is shorter than other picks
