Hi! I’ve seen your reviews on the Skagen Smartwatches, and I’m very inclined to buy one of them. I do have a question though, about the watch’s full compatibility with my phone. I am an iPhone user (iPhone SE 2020), and I’d like to know if I could control and change my music played on a Bluetooth speaker, with the help of the watch (spotify). And overall, if my phone and the clock would be completely compatible on all of the functions. Thanks for your help!

Mike, great review. Using the Falster 3 now for about 4 - 5 days. So far so good! Battery life ok even in extended mode but all other features work really well. The one thing I cannot figure out. If you press the top button, a screen opens up giving you an option with multiple colors. When I tap on the color chosen example red it reads "you don't have any styles saved" Start customizing. Do you know what this feature is? Thank you again for your review. It made my decision to purchase the Falster 3 way easier.
@MikeOBrienMedia
@MikeOBrienMedia 4 года назад
If you tap and hold your watch face to change it, you can select the settings icon at the bottom and change the color and design of most watch faces. You can then select "save watch face" and it will save to the Skagen/Fossil watch app that you are referring to. It categorizes styles by background color It is supposed to be an easy way to switch between your favorite colors

It's still fine as a perfect driver as long as you do not care about tracking health or sports.

@@randyb3576 ehh, Apple Watch battery life is absolutely the worst on the market. Which means Android Wear must be pretty bad. Wear is a bad OS, very inconsistent, you have to scroll sometimes, rotate sometimes, you never quite know which is which. There's a reason that Tizen OS is the second most popular watch OS after Apple. Despite all the Wear brands on the market, Samsung sells more watches than all Wear brands combined. Android Wear was pretty bad, and things haven't improved with Wear OS which is surprising to be honest. I don't think it's a priority for Google. Just FYI Apple quote 18 hours battery life on Apple Watch 5 with AOD switched off. 5 to 7 days on Galaxy Watch and 3 to 4 days on Watch Active 2. I don't where you got Apple being No. 1 for battery life. lol.

@@randyb3576 Wear OS is, like a lot of Google's consumer stuff, is bloated. Tizen worked well on lower specs, so on currents specs runs really well. Wear OS has only just become decent enough. And that's just performance. Tizen has a much better UI and the features it has, such as the dial, are almost universally used.

@@brianmsahin Not battery life, Apple Watch is the #1 rated/selling watch even with that battery life. So battery life is not that important to some users.

You don't need a watch in the shower. I want to clean my arm where the watch is. I don't want to get soap and shampoo on it. That being said I almost bought this but the Samsung Galaxy beat it. I was also considering AmazfitT-Rex and GTR even though those watches are limited in what they can do.

Hi Mike. Great review. Any chance you could advise me? I use an app called Wear Battery Full to notify me when my watch is disconnected from my phone. The latest Wear OS update has caused my MK GO watch to disconnect when not on my wrist for around 20 minutes. Always on display also turns off. Seems like a battery saving feature, but it is not desired behaviour, and it occurs under every battery mode. I'm trying to establish whether this watch exhibits the same behaviour before purchasing. If you could let me know I'd be ever so grateful. Thanks and have a good day!

The Google watch (Pixel Watch) is like the apocalypse. Some swear it is coming, everyone wonders if it is coming, but nobody knows for sure if/when it will be here. With the Fitbit acquisition, who knows. I recommend getting this for now if you want a smartwatch with Google assistant

Battery life is still too shite for me to move away from Garmin which has an always on transreflective display and enough smart functionality to me. Nice looking watch though.

Weird, my battery life sucked the first couple days, dead by 5-6pm. I run custom batter with only ok google off, display at 4. After 2 weeks, Im getting a full day, 7am, now 10pm and 13% left. no idea why its settled down.

Oh yeah - the back charger. The only benefit of the Fossil design is that since it is not wireless it charges super fast. BUT - the design is prone to failing I much prefer the Gen 3 charger style.
