FOSSIL GEN 5 (Latest Price): mikeobrienmedia.com/Fossil-Gen-5
The Fossil Gen 5 Smartwatch may be the best smartwatch on the market. Thanks to their notorious aesthetics, new adjustable battery control software, watch category presets, and impressive engineering, this watch turns heads and keeps you going for days at a time. In this video, I review this watch and test the limits of these claims. Is this the smartwatch for you? Is the fifth generation fossil smartwatch the best in the game? Watch and we will find out together.
PURCHASE THE GEN 5: mikeobrienmedia.com/Fossil-Gen-5
Some added review notes:
Things I like about the watch -
* Battery controls (time only, extended, custom, and daily modes allow for a smartwatch that can adapt to my needs and last longer)
* Loud speaker on board for easy hearing in any setting
* Google Assistant
* Clear microphone
* Wifi, GPS, NFC, and BT (for connecting to your phone or to bluetooth earbuds)
* 8GB Storage + 1GB RAM
* Fossil categories
* Great user interface (easy to use and very intuitive)
* Customizable mechanical buttons
* Great aesthetics and feel on the wrist
* Nice band selection
* Charger orientation does not matter
* Excellent button feel
* 3 buttons is better than 1 for smartwatches since the screen is so small
Things I would like to see improved
* More watch tiles
* Better screen to bezel ratio (already pretty good though)
* Quicker lift to wake response
* Better apps (not Fossil's or Google's fault really, just something I would like)
* WearOS and Fossil apps on phone: I wish I could do more customization from my phone rather than just from the watch settings. The watch screen is small and my phone is large. I like being able to adjust things from my phone.

Great detailed review of the Gen 5. You showed me some tricks that also apply to my current LG Sport Watch. I'm considering a Gen 5 to replace it, mostly because of the increased memory and improved processor, along with a slimmer body, and better options for the straps. I had read in another review, that battery replacement is impossible, and once it's out of warranty, the watch is just disposable, in case of battery failure. UPDATE: Subsequently, Fossil support replied to my query, that they can replace batteries on any of their Fossil smartwatches, so that is apparently not an issue. The other review was apparently incorrect.

You’ve done the most thorough review to date - great job. It would be nice if Fossil would consider offering upgrades to those of us with the 4th Gen Fossil Sport. Battery life is so bad on my Fossil Sport....45 minute workout before going to the office means I have to charge the phone by noon or it won’t get my past 2pm. Also, the Speaker in the 5th gen is a great addition! I’ve grown tired of asking Google something and the screen on the Fossil Sport reads “check your phone” for the answer and not being able to make or receive calls from the watch. Thanks!

Great video Mike showing the true day to day performance of the watch. I am a spending idiot, and have six WearOS watches already with the Gen 3 and Gen 4 Fossil's already. I have to say though that as tempting as this Gen 5 is to buy, Fossil said they are releasing over a hundred styles in the next six months. Makes me think that they're gonna be updating their lines for Michael Kors, Diesel etc. That being said, if they only put a 3100 and stick with the low RAM of 512MB, that'll be a huge mistake.

So I went back to the Fossil shop yesterday and upon examining the watch they told me that the reason this has happened is because if you leave the watch on charge over night the watch becomes to hot and causes it to swell up inside then loosens up the case back cover so not impressed as the watch cost me £269 .THEY TOLD ME NOT TO LEAVE IT ON CHARGE FOR MORE THAN ONE HOUR ! So really the charging circuit has floor in as that it should cut out once the battery has been fully charged or supply a dedicated charger that has current limit cut switch built in to avoid OVER CHARGING . They have given me a replacement watch but im going to sell it im not happy with it at all as i've had several smart watches before and never had this problem
@lisarhoney
@lisarhoney 4 года назад
That's absurd. I had the same problem with my 4. I would put my watch on the charger at night when I went to sleep. An hour at times would not enough time for a full charge if the battery was drained. If they went to wireless charge, it may alleviate this issue. I switched to Samsung. I used to love Fossil. 😒
@TeeFat

The November update has improve battery life tremendously. I don't use any of the battery management options but gets 7am to 11pm with 40-45% left. I used to get 65% remaining on my samsung frontier but can't complain as I charge it overnight.

I will definitely buy this watch! My first watch was the Moto 360-the very first round smartwatch out there. Then I bought the Huawei Watch (1), which improved upon the Moto with a snappier CPU, a speaker (love to make phonecalls in my car, Knight Rider style, because no car kit) and OLED display. But over the years, the OLED has burned in and I'm missing NFC for payments. Just imagine when asked for a loyalty card, I show my watch with the barcode, but then I have to get out my phone for the NFC payment. Yeaaaah, First World problems 😁

Great review. However it seems like you were a bit picky when it comes to the tiles and apps. You have to keep in mind that this is, when it is all said and done...a watch and not a phone. So as far as apps there is only so much it can do. I would not want to be playing on my wrist anyway using a bunch of apps. But as far as smartwatches it is probably the best one out now; as far as all that it can do other than telling time. Thx for your review.

nice review. as of 11.May.2022 I just bought the model DW11F2 - it was a breeze to set up. Main reason was my 3rd fitbit charge 2 failed so I thought I'd try Android Wear and Fossil is one of my favourite brands. Trickiest part? adjusting the watch bracelet to fit!!! took minutes to set up with my Samsung S20+ Looking forward to test driving over the weekend. If I am still happy, I'll look to getting one of the new Google/Fitbit watches just launched.

I hope future Smartwatches have built in voLTE like the amazfit verge 2 & ticwatch. For me, having vibrant display with excellent battery life and the ability to make & answer calls, plus compass, altimeter, barometer, HRM, several other sensors and also with swimmable IP certified is the ultimate Smartwatch.

excellent review, I have had seven Fossil Smart watches, and I am compelled to say that in comparison to the Apple Watch, and the Movado, I own those as well, the Fossil, in my view, is equal to, if not more competitive than the high-end watches just mentioned. That includes functionality and cost. I repeat you did an review. Oh! I might add that Fossil(website), and Amazon usually have seventy percent sales on the Fossil. A three hundred dollar watch can sell for as low as one hundred and seventy-nine dollars. That’s why I have so many. 15

Very nice review. If someone is left handed, they would simply change the band orientation and the buttons & dials would be on the other side. Unless you are saying the phone doesn't have an option to switch the vertical orientation which would be a big over site by Android Wear & Fossil.

Got mine a few days ago and while the watch feels great and smooth, the speaker seems to make some crackling sound. Not sure if I received the bad apple of the bunch but I'm most certainly will return it back to Fossil and swap out with a new one. Otherwise it's a good watch though the battery is still 12-20 hour use only. I just got spoiled with Samsung watches with their respectable battery life.

Just amazing review, watched your reviews for moto 360, active2, ticwatch pro&pro3 etc. Whats the hardware on this watch? I am trying to chose between Fossil Gen 5 and TicWatch Pro 2020, could you help me decide? Two of my most important considerations is the battery life which is better with 2 displays on ticwatch and hardware (smooth functioning), as you mentioned the hardware is outdated on ticwatch, so need help to decide between these 2, thanks in advance.

Thanks for the detailed review Mike - how what you sum up the battery life? I'm deciding whether to buy this now or wait until the google watch is released.

First, I'll say that I recommend turning off Always On Display and turning on tilt-to-wake. It saves a lot of battery power just by turning the screen off when I'm not even looking at it. To answer your question: I found that as long as you don't leave stupid things on like NFC and Always On Display, you can easily get 1.5-2 days per charge without limiting any common functions. I don't sleep with it on, so I just charge overnight. If you go to extended mode it can easily last longer. This batter is better than many other smart watches I've seen

@@minus1db I've gotta disagree with Mike on this as well. I keep AoD enabled on my 5th gen, and tilt to wake off. TTW just crushes my battery, to the point where I cannot make it through one whole day with it on. I use mine to sleep track at night. Charge while I shower in the AM. Normally, device is put on charge around 630AM, off charge around 730-8am. I can get a full 24 hours use out of it, with the device being used a good bit. Weekly disc golf adventures, and using the watch to track them, walking, spin workouts in the AM etc. Could the battery be better? Absolutely. I honestly cannot tell the difference in the battery modes, they don't seem to effect my watch that much. I think that I get just as good of battery out of the daily mode as I do the extended mode, which makes absolutely no sense to me.

@@MikeOBrienMedia I don't think . Ticwatch Pro, Samsung Galaxy watch , amazfit stratos battery far better than this. Every night charge is not possible due to people always use mobile too. Mobile is portant than watch. So smart watch should run minimum 4 days.thats why this watch will not be famous.

To add to this, I purchased this watch because I want to use it to track my runs without having to carry my phone. I had some problems with this watch. When turning on Google fit to get a GPS signal (without phone).. it can take up to 15 minutes while outside to get a connection. and if i'm inside I had it on for an hour and still no connection was made. I took the watch back to the store who happily changed it for another, however I experienced the exact same problem with excessively long wait times to connect to GPS. So I've had times where I was standing at my start point in the freezing cold wind, waiting for GPS to connect. Another problem I encountered is that the running pace appears to be incorrect. Both at times during the run and after the run is completed. At the end of my run, I pause the workout, but i'm too exhausted to go through the app and 'end' the session for another minute or so. And I believe it includes that time in the overall pace that is measured, making it seem like you ran a lot slower than you actually did. Another problem I had during the running is, like Mike stated in the video, the watch takes a moment to light up after lifting your wrist, which is rather frustrating when you're running to your fullest and you just want to quickly check your time and pace. There is an 'always on' feature on the watch, but there is no 'ALWAYS on' feature to keep it going no matter what. I asked at the store but they said, to save battery, fossil doesn't let you set the watch to display constantly. which is a shame because I really only need the watch for about 30 minutes when I'm running. I considered returning the watch for a refund since the sole purpose of buying this $500 watch for me was to track my runs 2 - 3 times per week to obtain data and improve myself. (without having to carry my phone with me during the run). However I decided to hold on to it, simply because it is a very classy looking smart watch and all the other features appear to work well from what I've experienced so far. If you're a runner and you're considering buying this watch.. keep in mind the GPS can take excessively long to connect. If this is a problem for you, maybe you can look for an alternative option. Otherwise, the watch is a joy to own.

@@omaralmitwally3475 Hi Omar. I still use this watch and no I don't feel as though these issues have been solved. Or at least if i'm not near my phone it takes too long to connect that I would just run without the GPS signal. But now my runs are more longer distance and paced than before where I would run 3-5 kilometres as fast as possible so I don't mind the time it takes for the screen to kick in and show me the data. I think for paced runs where every second doesn't count.. The watch does alright. Even if GPS doesn't connect.. I find it somewhat tracks distance to some degree of error.. I do recall recently running my usual 10km run and I didn't have a connection. It said I ran approx 9 kilometeres.. so its not entirely accurate without the GPS but still not too bad

Thanks for a good review. How did you access the double-click feature of the 2 buttons? I didn't see that in the Customize menu...maybe I just missed it. My Gen3's battery finally died, so I got a refurbished 5, like yours, and I do like it, and appreciate all the improvements Fossil has made since v.3.(which I also liked, but the connectivity on this Gen5 seems much improved over v.3!) (to an iPhone.) As far as battery, I keep it on a custom setting that doesn't answer calls (though it allows me to accept them) and no NFC, no lift-to-wake (too slow, so i save battery there) (but I keep always-on ON, I like that!) - anyway I always last the day, even with whatever status the phone had when I bought it refurbished. (Probably a new battery? - they promised at least 80%.) I use FACER to have some fun with watch faces, and designed one of my own too; but honestly the FOSSIL ones are really great, once you customize them with the native editing options. The leather band develops an aroma that I could do without, which persists on my wrist when the phone is back on the charger. I'm experimenting with rubbing the rubber inside of the band down with witch hazel to see if that helps. Thanks again!
