Fossil Gen 5 Carlyle Stainless Steel Touchscreen Smartwatch with Speaker, Heart Rate, GPS, Contactless Payments, and Smartphone Notifications, Smoke, FTW4024, Gen 5 Carlyle HR, Mens Standard

I have used gen 3 smartwatch and i have also used gen 5 smartwatch• G pay doesn't work and gets disappeared after update it only works in 7 countries as of now.• whenever i recieve a call on watch the voice breaks almost every time. Voice is not clear• google assistent does not give messages in voice and don't respond to ok google after turning it on in setting.• os wear play store sucks and thier are very less useful applications. It has very less content• You can not download any songs but after using play app of google you can listen to limited songs and if you want to download it than pay for premium.COMING TO THE PROS• charges really fast almost within one hour and lasts for a day. For continuous use it will last around 3-4 hours.• Nice design and good finish. Speaker has a decent voice.Giving it one star because it's not worth paying 23k

I'm writing this review after 1 week of usage. Android wearOS is smooth. You can install Apps from PlayStore directly on watch through wifi. It comes with 1 GB RAM and 8 Gigs of memory so you can download or stream music on the go through Google Play Music or Spotify. Google Pay does not work in India through watch.AOD (always on display) works great and helps in saving battery.You can use Google fit or strava or mapmywalk+ to track physical activity.Touch screen responsiveness is great.Google maps and Google Translate can be downloaded on watch.Battery life is 1 day with most features ON but you get 4 options also:Daily 1 dayExtended 2 to 3 daysCustom as per requirementTime only 1 weekInitially, i thought battery life is less, but now I'm pretty satisfied with the performance and features.Giving 1 star less for the battery (which can be improved in the next version)

Good voice call quality, yet to know whether it can be corrected.. Otherwise gd featuresCan be connected to WiFiU can customize watch faces along with synchronization of FB n InstaSome disparity in steps walked n calories used

After using it for 17 days now I can talk about this watch.1. Great design 👍2. Light weight feels like you wearing some normal watch3. The OS is fast but when battery reaches to about 15% or Below it slows down a bit.4. There was an issue regarding taking calls on watch that it was not clear and voice breaks completely whenever you receive or make a call, Thanx to fossil for working on this solution ASAP today 17/10/2019 they have released an update and after updating my watch it has completely resolved. Now it's clear no breaking sound or any kind of distortion is there. Well done.5. It detects your type of workout and reps automatically like Push ups, Squats, cardio etc. But some of the exercise like incline or decline bench press you have to manually correct the watch for detecting workout as it detects it bench press only and you have to manually select the weight too.6. The worst part of it is battery life, although it charges fast like in 1 hr but it lose its back up much faster as it has almost every function which we can seek in a smartwatch.•If you using it just for time with flight mode on it can go on more then 24hrs of battery life.•If you using Bluetooth on and connected to your phone with notification coming directly on your watch it will last 15 to 18hrs depending on your use.•If you using it for taking call on watch it will last 10 to 15hrs again depending on how frequently you using it.•If using with Bluetooth,Wifi and GPS on your watch it may last for 5 to 6hrs max.Suggestion turn off functions you not using frequently like GPS, heart rate monitor, wifi, speaker etc to increase it battery backup.At last I can say it's a great product with only one flaw of battery backup otherwise it's great hope this new update makes any changes to battery life also.Thanx

Pros:1. Good Fit and Finish2. Beatiful OS3. Can answer and make calls through blutooth handsfree connected to your mobile.4. Fossil Brand5. Sleep and activity tracking.6. Phon book syncCons:1. Pathetic battery life, hardly lasts for 12-15 hours on extended mode with regular use. Yet I didn't start tracking activities. Heavy use won't give more than 8 hours backup.2. Heavy and metalic, not much comfortable to wear while sleeping. Maybe can buy silicon strap to wear while sleeping.3. NFC is there but no payment apps available as of now which makes NFC feature useless for common man.Overall good, elegant look, nice band.. but if you need a smart watch specially for activity tracking and with better battery life, you may think of Samsung or apple watch.
