    certainly a great price OP

    bought it as a CV19 present to self.

    only grey 41mm was available when I went to order. battery size same in both sizes afaik

    battery life seems pretty bad but a fairly inexpensive way to mess around with android wear OS

    idea of some of the apps here ->

    https://www.wareable.com/android-wear/you-wear-it-well-the-best-apps-for-android-wear

    will also use it for listening to music / podcasts on a run

    Your links aren't going to the watch. Can you please describe what the watch is called or link it again?

    Links are switching to US site for some reason.
    https://www.fossil.com/en-gb/
    Change shipping to UK in top right corner.
    Pick mens smartwatches. Red and green is still in stock.

    it's 1 day battery life, has some space 1.6gb free for music and app storage. built-in gps

    Wear OS apps and google pay main attractions imo

    1 day be a pain for constantly charging but it would be handy for getting back into running

    This is the only reason I didn't pull the trigger. Most fossil watches have seriously bad battery life, especially if you're going to use it for exercising.

    Forget about any kind of sleep tracking it is probably capable of. It's going to be charging every night.

    All Wear OS watches have poor battery life because it's a full-fledged android device on your wrist.

    but then again they also have the most interesting flexibility like apps to add new features

    most "smartwatches" are not really smartwatches are just fitness bands that are in watch form and do nothing much beyond step-tracking, sleep tracking, notifications and maybe gps.

    this is actually a true smart-watch but as expected the battery life is bad.

    Interested in an android smartwatch. Can anyone recommend a decent budget alternative to this fossil? Battery life is putting me off.

    Yeah, that's not really true. My gear S3 frontier does 3 days, and it's far from a new device.

    I have bought a fossil watch for someone before, and when I noticed she wasn't wearing it, she said it's because she kept forgetting to charge it.

    Anyway, it's a great deal for the price....if you go into it well aware of its limitations.

    I know the Samsungs have longer battery life but they also have less apps and it's Tizen, not Android.

    Hi. Don't know why the original link wasn't acting nicely. I've put in a few more.

    You used to have to install an app called Pay Enabler which you would open every time you wanted to make a payment, as Google Pay would get disabled in the background.

    yup wear OS.. umm not sure on the version but I've been paying with my watch for over 12 months now.

    Don't need to bring my phone with me, once the token is on the phone you can pay just using the watch and the phone can be back home.

    Very handy, especially on a night out when I don't fancy carrying a brick in my pocket (or a wallet)


    Incidentally I picked up the red in this, but all other colours apart from green seem to be gone so move fast.

    I mainly want this for the swimming functionality which my Huawei can't do.

    Just tested this on my fossil sport and still says Google pay is not working in your location.
