Review on πŸ“± Fossil Gen 5 Carlyle Stainless Steel Smartwatch - Touchscreen, Speaker, Heart Rate, GPS, Contactless Payments, Smartphone Notifications by Bambang ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Nothing special, there are positives and negatives.

I've been using it for a year and frankly I'm already thinking about replacing it. There are too many bugs - google wear os as a whole is still raw and crooked, and a weak battery, perhaps, could be neglected in urban conditions (I came home, put it on the charger, which lies in the same place, and that's it) , but on trips and travels, charging all the devices every day is incredibly annoying.

Pros
  • + nice classic design + bright screen, good matrix
Cons
  • - very weak battery (one day, and then half a day it will work in power saving mode - without always on display) - many bugs - friezes, reassignment of physical buttons is reset and so on. You can count quite a few - physical buttons began to stick over time, wiping does not help - not very scratch resistant glass
