Review on Fossil Machine Stainless Hybrid Smartwatch Men's Watches for Smartwatches by Robert Viher

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Buy for the watch not the smart features

Fossil Q Men's Stainless Steel Hybrid Smartwatch Black The Fossil Q Hybrid smartwatch is one of the very few analog watches priced around $150 that offers all smartwatch features. If you were like me, you would stumble upon this beauty while shopping for smartwatches and wonder if it's worth buying. I'm assuming you're reading this review because you love the design but are interested in smartwatch features. After using this device for a month, I would like to answer your question in the Fossil Hybrid Watch Review. [Premium and Stylish Without the High Price] Design: The 4.5/5Fossil has a unique style that many smart hybrid watches have missed, an appreciation for staying rustic to tradition. Fossil Q wants its customers to have beautiful watches that emulate luxury watches while remaining minimalist. The outer textured ring is slightly inclined to elevate the curved glass. This helps give the watch a simulated sense of depth from every angle. In fact, this raised design is also used inside the watch. The minutes are counted up to create a sense of complexity and depth. As a finishing touch, the hands feature a metallic finish on the outer edge with a quartz movement. In short, Fossil has perfected its vision of what it means to be a Fossil product. A minimalist beauty that pays homage to old watch styles. The watch straps are easy to remove too, and there are great third-party alternatives to Fossil itself online. I'll admit that the black stainless steel was a little large for my hand, and while I scaled it down manually, it still wasn't enough. Luckily I bought a discounted bracelet from their website to make it much more comfortable to wear. [Wish it was smarter] Smart function: The 2.5/5Fossil offers convenience functions rather than smart functions. I can honestly say it lacks a lot of smart features, but it gets the job done. The watch has 3 buttons that are fully customizable through the app. You can: • take a photo • stopwatch • call the phone • view notifications • music controls (volume up, down, play, pause) • view the date • others you never want to use At the same time, you can also see the number of steps and the count the calories burned or the amount of sleep you got. The problem, however, is that all these functions are activated with a delay of about 1.5 seconds. I go to my phone and do these functions myself because it's so much faster. If you're really looking for a hybrid fitness smartwatch, I recommend looking elsewhere. Seriously, even though the Fossil Q is a hybrid smartwatch, it uses Bluetooth Smart 4.1 Low Energy capabilities to extend battery life much longer than many other smartwatches. ) The Fossil Q Men Hybrid smartwatch is a great buy if you're interested in buying a minimalist watch inspired by history. Be aware that smartwatch features that are sold are software-restricted and are more of a gimmick than actual useful features. Pros: + Beautiful design + Long battery life + Adjustable watch straps. and other retailers often have special offers on their products. I was able to get my hybrid watch for $98 compared to the retail price of $175. My watch band was $8 instead of $25 on the Fossil website. If you're reading this fossil, I'd happily pay for a glow-in-the-dark feature or something. I can't see anything on the clock at night.

Pros
  • Looks like a watch, acts like a smart watch; Case Size: 45mm; Band Size: 24mm; interchangeable with all Fossil 24mm straps; import; waterproof up to 50 m; Microcontroller
Cons
  • So far so good
