Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have had this watch for two weeks and I absolutely love it. I did a LOT of research before buying this, and due to a lot of negative reviews, I was quite nervous about making the purchase. If I weren't so firmly entrenched in the Google/Android ecosystem, I would've gone with the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active. But since I use Android, Google pay, Google Play Music, etc., I decided going with Wear OS would be worth it. Plenty of people complain about the battery life on this thing, but I think it's all about what you plan to use it for. I use this as I believe a smartwatch is intended: to receive and occasionally respond to notifications throughout the day without using a phone, and to track workouts. I am able to track a 60 minute workout every day, play music while working out, and view and respond to about 50 notifications per day. My battery life after 13 hours of this reads 40% and would easily get me through any full day. Worth noting: the Google Keep app was inexplicably draining my battery to 0% within about 5 hours, but I removed the app and now battery life is great. I love that I can leave my phone at home and still track a workout while listening to music that's downloaded onto the watch via Google Play Music. I use Google Fit to track my workouts and it is very convenient! I use to use a timer on my phone and have to log the workout and weight I was using. Google Fit detects what lift I am doing, and I input the weight, then it starts a timer to tell me when to start my next set. I also think the watch is beautiful. I am a man with very small wrists (slightly larger than 6 inches). I was afraid to get any smart watch, since I've tried other 41mm watches that look huge on me. The Fossil Sport manages to look sleeker than other 41mm watches, and I am comfortable wearing it daily. The software isn't always super fast, but again, it does what I expect it to do. Google Assistant is great at understanding voice commands, so it is very easy to send texts with your voice instead of typing. If you expect a watch that will basically be a phone on your wrist, that you can play with all day long - look elsewhere. But if you want a smartwatch to be an extension of your phone - to help you see quick notifications, have access to Google Assistant, workout tracking, etc., then this will be a fantastic watch for you.
