I have the Fossil Gen 5 & I think it does more than "80% of the apple watch" you said. The only difference is EKG & direct calling from the apple. It has everything else the same including sleep monitoring, Google assistant(siri), 2way messaging, and a TON of customizations including hundreds of custom watch faces that make it look WAYYYY better than the apple watch. I LOVE MY FOSSIL WATCH!
@@metromilo77 @Coach Faris yep! It uses the "wellness" app that comes pre-installed. On watch, home button, select Wellness app, scroll to bottom, tap gear, tap account, tap account log in & follow prompts. This will sync wellness app with Google fit. Go to phone, open fit app, tap journal, tap smartwatch in top right corner, once check mark appears on smartwatch icon tap the refresh button next to it, go back to the home button & it should be synced. I had to give mine a couple minutes & then it synced all the wellness app data.
Timper325 completely agree, I got an Iwatch for Father’s Day and two days into it, I told my wife to take it back, i HATE the design. I like what it does but LOATH the design.
Good review, this is the 8th video I've watched and got all the answers I needed. I got frustrated trying to find a video to help. I bought the watch and your video was the very next one I saw, minutes after the purchase. I was satisfied with my purchase after watching your video.
Extremely informative. I’m team IPhone and my boyfriend always talks about wanting a smart watch for his android. Just ordered him the Fossil for his birthday and needed to know a few facts before he gets his watch and starts talking crap about my Apple Watch.
Hey! I don't usually care for tech unboxing/comparison videos, but needed to do some research to make a decision. Obviously, this helped a ton, but I also wanted to say I genuinely enjoyed listening to you! Thanks for making this video, keep it up.
I've always thought the Apple Watch looked ugly. I wish it had a circular design, although I guess they want to keep it square to make it stand out from the crowd.
I agree with the Twins review....Finally an actual review. I ordered my Gen5 Garrett Smartwatch today. Can't wait to get it. Hurry up Friday!!!! Lol Great review but I'm a Android user, freedom to do what you want.
Exactly. The Fossil was for me. I just need to see the message. Great details man. I respect your research/experience with these. I have a Gen 4 but wanted to see what the 5 does.
It's simple. I still have the series 4 😂. I didn't believe the hump to series 5 was worth it and I figured there are people out there that might be looking to get a series 4 with the deals currently available which makes it more comparable to gen 5 in terms of pricing.
Gifted fossil for my husband. Needed to be sure of the best ones. So I understand fossil is my bet for the price I could afford. My questions all answered. Thank you for that... Good work. No nonsense just clean
Because my boyfriend's birthday is tomorrow, I decided to give him a smartwatch. I was going to choose between the Fossil Gen 5 or an Apple watch. I really had to think about it for a while because we both love Apple devices but we hate those ugly ass watches. Since he has an iPhone, an Apple watch would be a more logical choice as it will offer him more options. For example, he wants to be able to pay with his smartwatch. That won't be possible for him with a Fossil watch, only with an Apple watch. Still, I ultimately chose Fossil. Real men wear a nice, masculine watch. Not an Apple watch. Its design looks so childish. And there's nothing sexy about a guy with a kid's watch.
Great review! Many thanks. I have one Fossil Carlyle Gen 5 and I'm truly happy. It's pared with an Android phone. I'm going to do a test to pair with an IPhone and test it. Thanks once more for your review.
Great review! Hi i need your suggestion . I have an iphone x and i am confused between samsung active 2 , fossil gen 5 and i watch series 4 . Can you please suggest me the best one . The only problem is that i am obsessed with the round dial .please suggest
apple watch straps are probably easier because most straps are low quality, gen 5 you actual can get old school straps i dont know not to sure but just order a gen 5 with stainless steel straps
You can actually take the apple watch band slide off of most bands & use the pin mechanism for the 42mm fossil watches. I've done that with 2 bands already & have a couple in my cart to buy so I have even more color options. You can even buy regular non-smart watch bands at the store & they will work on the fossil smartwatch.
@@AndrewSap I would highly suggest to choose either the Fossil Gen 5 (Carlyle) or the Falster 3. Both have the snapdragon 3100. The Gen 4 and Falster 2 have the older 2100. Also no speaker on Fossil Gen 4. Gen 5 does.
@@kishansoni-kw1uc i think yes if you need and no problem in watch. because i sold it in 10000 after 3months use(total 6 month use)..i have seen last best deal on flipkart aprox 15999* for new one
@Colonel Sanders It was on the fossil store uk. First the fathers day sale too it down to £189. A honey coupon of 15% to £160 and another 30% coupon form their customer service because they lost my previous order which was meant to be the gen 4 - I still got a refund for it haha
