FOSSIL GEN 5 Unboxing and First Look!

Показать описание


We've got the Fossil Gen 5 in house! We are your resident weird Wear OS fan and so this was a must pick-up. At $295, you get a Snapdragon Wear 3100, GPS, NFC, full-round display, 1GB RAM, 8GB storage, heartrate sensor, and speaker. It's kind of got it all for a Wear OS watch at the moment.

We went with the smoke stainless option, but there are another 5 colorways for you to choose from. You'll see that in this video as well as a comparison to the Fossil Sport and Montblanc Summit 2.

We'll eventually get to the review, but for now we've got this Fossil Gen 5 unboxing with a full tour.

I've heard a rumors that Fossil will show other models this summer. Hope it's true, because those watches in 41mm size are brilliant for me.

This night be my next Wear OS smartwatch unless Google blesses us with a Pixel watch come October which I'm truly hoping I haven't had a Wear OS smartwatch since the 1st Motorola 360

I'm glad I waited for this to be in the $175 zone. It's definitely worth it now.

Its the review after using Day 5:-

Pros:-
Overall look is excellent & Stylish and elegant! Storage is sufficient and watch is fast.
Beautiful watch faces. You can change and personalise watch faces.
You can send, sms and whatsapp messages directly from the watch.
You can use Google assistant anytime with click of button or saying "Ok Google"
You can listen songs directly on watch using Google play music, spotify etc.
You can use SBI wear app directly on this smartwatch and can transfer money while logging on the SBI wear application.
In India, Google pay is not available on this watch, but it is available on US, Australia etc.
You can install other applications like Google Fit, Cardiogram, Weather apps, Watch faces, Calculator, Notepads, Youtube app,
Google translate.
You can change the notification preferences.
You can change the straps.
Cons:-
Connectivity problem (sometimes).
This watch is not meant for calling yet. You are able to receive calls and make calls via this smartwatch but sound of the other person is not clearly audible to you. Speaker makes cracking sound while taking calls.
May be it will get fix in further updates.
Charging:- You need charging after 4 -6 hrs of use, if you are using maximum number of applications and brightness high, volume high.

EDIT: I just wanted to update those who are on the fence. Most importantly, GOOGLE ASSISTANT WORKS! The watchband is far from "cheap", feels durable and what you would expect from a quality fossil product. I will update however as usual for Wear OS for battery life I have had around 2 days use of battery life. I expect that some use is needed to see what the battery life balances out to. This watch is seriously smooth and in my opinion is the best so far. I'd highly recommend the GEN 5 as it's far exceeded my expectations of quality.

"The band feels cheap, but it is a $300 watch."
I'm sorry what? That's not cheap for a watch, $10 is cheap 😂😂

Thanks for this, picked one up today, hopefully the battery doesn't turn out to be as bad as most suggest...and the charging ring issue some have reported down the line.

Keep up the great content 👊🏿💯

Oddly this video was suggested to me because I bought one on best buy to gift this watch to my dad for Christmas but it's good I got informed on the basics for setup

Thanks for the introduction to this watch. It looks very interesting.
My only complain about this watch is that you have to have paid subscription in order to download your music on the watch. So those gigabytes of memory space is useless.
I'm therefore checking which Garmin is as good because on their watch you can just put your musics from your laptop and you are good to go.

You don't have to line up perfectly until the back of the watch first to fall apart and then you have to line up perfectly.
I hope they fixed it with this watch, but it doesn't exactly look like it was improved.

FOSSIL: WHAT IS THE BATTERY SIZE? It's not mentioned anywhere. They just added those battery modes to extend it and this could be a catch here IMO.

Only came here to hear something about battery life, we mostly care about battery life.

Finally a Wear OS smart watch I'm excited for. After the original Huawei Watch there wasn't any Wear OS watch that interested me so I moved to the Galaxy Watch, but this could replace that.

I had the Gen 4 and the back cover came off twice in less than a year (both times after taking it off the charger). Fossil repaired it the first time and the second time I got a full refund. Searched the forums and it seems that many people experienced this issue. Disappointed to see that the Gen 5 has the exact same back cover as the Gen 4.

I'm still using my Moto 360 version 2 and I still love The styling over all these new watches. I would welcome an upgrade but I haven't seen anything compelling yet.

Just got a Ticwatch S2 for Prime Day and I'm quite happy with it, they recently did an update that improved performance even on the Snapdragon 2100 and 512gb ram but I'm glad the hardware is finally getting really good and that Wear OS watchmakers finally realized that it's probably the ram that's mostly been holding them back at least in performance. Now that I know I like Wear OS I might definitely upgrade to either this or its successor. I was considering a Sport instead of my S2 but I saw a lot of reports of the crown sticking like you mentioned, and also ones of those metal charging rings separating and coming off of the back. I wonder if they've done anything to address that like better adhesive or something, because this charging system is pretty much universal to Fossil and their other brand's watches. I've seen a few reports on other Fossil group watches like Misfits doing it but the Sport was kind of their mainstream breakthrough and is probably their best seller so just through volume there were a significant amount of reports with it.
