OMG, 😲 this watch is just amazing, I juts can't stop exploring all the futures. I love the perfect design

[thuanhungnguyen]

Omg it's awesomeee. Loads of features, Heart rate, GPS, Google pay, swimproof. Plus it doesn't look like a toy. I can't wait to try it

[TheChico]

I like the design options. I believe the only manufacturer who has this many. Plus it looks like a watch not some weird wrist gadget.

[aisyakassim]

I love this watch I love the price it looks so premium .. it's the best look smartwatch I've ever had and I like it that it's light. I'm not sure why everyone keeps talking abt the bad battery life when it lasts as long as an apple watch which is a day. Anyway ... I did not regret my buy

[steveman]

The first smartwatch that I'd actually buy.

[JupieYT]

Will notifications on your phone from apps like YouTube pop up on the watch, or just text messages?

[pkerry]

Brillant I have been waiting for a REAL watch to come out for Wear OS to support Google pay!!, and yes I know the Tag Heuer connected already has this but that goes like 3000 AUD so not worth it to me lol.

[Eduard.Andrei]

Hello, can you please tell me if I can use the keyboard for writing SMS on iPhone too?

[dashcamskits]

Y’all should watch my review on this watch!! Is fire

[hijeanne]

Having trouble getting my text messages. Had it working and then has to reset my phone. All notifications, etc are checked to recieve.Have Samsung 7 on verizon

[KrunalThakkar]

When this awesome watch available in India?

[royalgamble]

I already have mine, game changer, totally worth the upgrade from the Gen 3, however, I would like to know if the screen is sapphire or other material, also what is the total available memory after the os and which are the specs of it, there is no info on the website about that

[keshavbajaj]

Please let me know the app which is used while connecting except for wear os

[jaynatas]

How does the Gen 4 track sleep. Tried for days, no records on sleep tracking. Please advise, just got the watch 2 days ago, mainly for that purpose.

[ParallaxRS]

Wear OS is so much better than Tizen on the Samsung Gear. I bought the Gear because I have the S8, but after moving from the Apple Watch, the Gear is just terrible to use, and the lack of apps kills it. One area where Apple win every time is their smartwatches and watch OS. Google's closing the gap though!

[jaronlarson]

Can I make one of these buttons pause a run in the middle of a workout? And can I have it work with Google fit?

[Jonezyyy]

Even without a speaker are you still able to answer a call from your phone on the smartwatch? Say if you're walking around but don't notice the phone ringing in your pocket does a notification pop up to allow you to answer it?

[kappainebriation]

None of these videos show what really happens... the watch never appears on the phone to let you connect. EVERY TIME the battery dies the connection is lost and you're back to this mind F***. Thank God it was a gift. I wouldn't give a Fossil to my worst enemy.

[mohammadsiddiqui]

Hey Fossil. Can this watch display time when screen time is out?

[mnml-mxml]

Can you store music on the gen 4? Does it have built in gps?
