Hi Kelsey, thanks for the detail information in setup of this watch.

[zylonchar]

Always enjoy watching your videos. Great work as usual! Find these really relaxing to listen.

Hi, I'm writing to you because I saw that you are the most competent and the best connoisseur of Fossil smartwatches. Specifically, I just bought a used Garrett HR 3565 and I have a question to ask you. It concerns the fact that despite having set the "answer mode on the watch" sometimes, or rather often, it resets itself so after the first ring the call opens on its own, without me having pressed anything on the display and I can only answer from the phone. Ditto when I call and they answer on the other end, I can only speak from the phone although by double-checking the answer mode settings they are set to ANSWER FROM THE WATCH. What and where am I wrong? Thanks in advance

Thanks for this! Great video. I'm buying this for myself on boxing day. Even though this is a set up tutorial, seeing the watch in use was very helpful in solidifying my decision to purchase the Gen 5. I also have the Pixel 3! I don't typically leave my Bluetooth on, so I'm wondering if you have noticed a significant change in the longevity of your phone's battery life throughout the day with the watch connected?

I lost this watch in the markey how I can track it

[erictownsend]

I got fossil 5 gen a year back. Somehow i removed pairing of my phone and watch. Now i am not able to connect them again. I try to pair on both sides but i am not able to find the device. Any idea?

[GaryBeltz]

The finishing up Wear OS phone screen and the Wear OS watch tutorial come on every Wear OS watch it's not just a "Fossil Gen 5 thing" as you stated. I've had TicWatchi and Huawei Google Wear OS watches and they make you do the same thing

Mam can you send me a link how to transfer music from Android phone to fossil gen 5 julinna

[alangaramlna]

After completing the setup it takes too lang and it shows finishing update
Whether it will take too much time

[adamnisson]

I am having trouble get turn by turn directions on my watch and sending directions to my phone. When I try to navigate to a location using the assistant I am getting a "cannot connect to phone at the moment" error. Also will not even give me the option to send those directions to google maps that I downloaded.

I noticed in the end of the video, your watch was connected to the dock but still wasn't charging. Is that an issue?

[m.alexandrecastro]

Hi ! Thank you for the video. I am unable to hear anything whatsoever on the speaker of my Gen 5. I have looked for ways to test the speaker but found none. All the volumes are up on the watch but still nothing. When I try to change the sound ringtone and I hear nothing. Any ideas ?!

[prdss]

my watch connect to my old android J7, I change phone to A11 and can't connect to it

[Shriram-cbfp]
