I’m a bit old school, don’t really like the tech these days. Resistant, you could say. But I, like most, am leashed to my cell phone. With a family, and career. I need to be connected. I wanted a watch with hands and minutes and numbers like the old days. While shopping the fossil site. This watch caught my attention. Simply with classic style and primitive low key posture. Then as I read further I saw it was a smart watch! DANG, I thought.. I just wanted a plain classic watch. Well after getting it because of its beauty. I went ahead and paired it to my phone. WOW! I love it! It’s given me freedom I forgot we had. And the ‘Ring my phone” feature is BRILLIANT!!! For a busy guy like me, it’s been a fantastic distraction! I’ll never get stuck in an unwanted conversation again! “Oh, excuse me, I gotta take this call!” We’ll catch up later! Steve out!

Now that they’ve fixed the bugs that kept my watch from syncing, it works like it is supposed to. Everything they intend the app to do, it does, and it does well. However, I want to be able to compare the graphs for each day to each other on a single screen. Currently, you can only see each day’s graph individually. I want to be able to dive into the data for each day and see what’s up hour by hour, at a minimum. There is so much they could do with this app and watch combination. The potential is there, their execs and designers just don’t seem to have the vision to make this app spectacular and really useful. I used to wear a Misfit, and they had a pretty great app. I feel like this app is sort of a downgrade. But I love the watch itself. I’ve been wearing it for several years, and it’s great. (and I wear one of the hybrids (the Activist- specifically because of battery life, and it looks like a regular watch) I HOPE that they continue making the older style hybrids without the digital screens. They are so great. Y’all should try them out. Can you imagine six months of battery life‽!!‽ Sure, no heart rate monitoring, but do you really need that?

Love it! But needs work

Im in love with this watch. Im an optician and recently we made a huge purshase of fossil frames and as a gift they gave me a fossil q hybrid watch... i have it for a week now and im in love. But! There are some features i miss and love to have to make it whole, things that i think are easy to add. As an optician i use the timer on my phone a LOT! so it would be nice to have that feature in my watch also, so with a button i can start the countdown... also... a snooze feature for the alarms, cause sometimes i put an alarm to remind me to call a patient for example but at the moment the alarm goes off im busy i could postpone it... the ability to put name to the customize goals and maybe the ability to track every single goal by its own... that one could be more difficult but ypu get the gist of it. I really think that what u guys are doing is super cool but a couple more things would make it awesome... i hope you sometime take at least one of my ideas

I got the fossil Garrett hybrid as a Christmas gift! I’m a watch fanatic, as a first time user of a hybrid or smart watch of any kind I thought this was awesome! It held the “old” timeless look of the watch while having the moderen day functions of a smart watch. It worked for a month and I would get on the app a couple times a day and track my steps then in the morning track my sleep schedule. Then about a week ago the watch wouldn’t sync to the app, however I was still getting vibrations from notifications I have programed into the watch. The watch was still connected via Bluetooth to my phone but refused to sync with the app and after countless times talking to people on customer support they didn’t have a clue and would throw me around to “higher up professionals” to help with the issue, and still nothing but after some research come to find out that many people have/had this issue as far back as 2 years ago. Therefore this is an on going issue that has not been addressed. And I’m highly disappointed with fossil.
