Is this Fossil Gen 5E better than the apple watch. The new Fossil Gen 5E watch is the newest smartwatch from Fossil. Apple certainly has a huge part of the market with the Apple Watch. But Fossil is bringing a strong product to the smart watch game.

My favorite watch growing up was a awesome silver and red fossil. Before that I was a g~shock kind of guy but now I have the Nike Apple Watch series 6 and I love it

@@MrPilot_moon thanks for asking! I will say that it didn't get me to untether from my AW - I now have TWO smartwatches. I use my AW for exercise/health tracking, close my rings, etc. But when I go out, I switch into my Gen 6, because I don't want to see text messages, the latest news alerts, etc. So my AW is my workhorse, and my Gen 6 is my evening watch, dress watch, and yes, I sleep with it, so that I get the sleep tracking.

Nice watch but battery life sucks! Excuse my choice of word but the battery life is a deal breaker, can't believe in 2021 Google cannot update their battery life. The Ticwatch pro 3 gps is a better option, it has the snapdragon chip which is Wear OS latest battery with much better battery life.

@jGRite 3 года назад

The thing about that charging style is the watch can't handle getting wet and then drying on it's own. I have the Fossil 3 Sport and 5. I had to send the 3 back to get replaced, and the same thing happened to the 5. This time, I won't stand in the rain with the watch exposed while directing traffic, and if I sweat I'll wipe it down. However I am looking at the Galaxy Watch 3 as a replacement unless Fossil swaps the charging style. If the rings was on the charger, and not on the watch then it would be more water proof. I find it odd they over looked this. ...and don't get me started on Wear OS. I like it, but it's got some shortcomings outside of battery life.

@RobertoRaymon 3 года назад

Why would you want to take a watch that was wet and plug it up to be charged 🤔

@RobertoRaymon 3 года назад

Wear os watches have amazing battery life. I got about a day and a half out of my Gen 2 fossil and my 5e can go 2 days. Also the 5e charges completely in about an hour and a half to 2 hours.

@RobertoRaymon 3 года назад

The way to save battery life on a Ware OS device is to 1. turn off your OK Google notification 2. turn off GPS and 3. turn off Wi-Fi. I feel what's the point of Wi-Fi and GPS always being in when it's connected to my watch through Bluetooth and receiving notifications that way.

@UrbanSipfly 3 года назад

I was into Fossil Watches so much that I introduced my wife to its brand as a proud wearer for nearly 10 years... And this happens: I purchased a none smartwatch and on 2 of my purchases the second hands fell off each time, only to have me return the damaged watch back to the store for repair! True, the watch average cost was under $125, but that's a lot of valuable hassle to be bothered with. I since moved on to Samsung as my go to replacement brand. So, if Fossil can't people can't make a non smart watch work, it wouldn't be very encouraging to ask people to spend their hard earned money on ineptitude - would it?
