Fossil Men's 42mm Collider Smartwatch

I loved pebble when they were out and that got me into smart watches. I loved being able to see texts, controlling music and answering/declining calls without pulling up my phone. I tried the Galaxy classic watch when pebble was no more after running my second pebble time round into the ground. (I like the classic style of analog and round for my watches.) Didn't like the touch screen and the display was too bright on the lowest setting to blind my Wife while watching movies. Then I saw this watch! I've loved it for the last 4 months I've had it! Positives: - Classic round analog style. with Real Hands that spin. Which is what got the initial pull for me to look at this one as I love that classic style. - notches and hands glow in the dark so I can check the time in the middle of the night without blinding myself on my phone. - Has the classic paper like screen like pebble. (Thus battery life is indeed fantastic. ) - I get at least a week (if not 2) of battery without taking it off. I normally just charge it for a hour once a week to continue for the rest of the time. - I'm able to wear it at night. it also has a vibrate alarm system (set in the app with a note for each alarm) so it can help me wake up without waking up my wife if I needed. - the watch faces are immensely customizable! you can either take a picture of a clock you like, or customize your own. What I ended up doing for fun and love it. (included in image) - you also get to choose where the widgets are on the watch with the app. I can hide the shoe image of the step counter behind the center so I just see the numbers for my steps today. - Music control is great! I use it with Spotify and my bible app. great to have vol +/-, Skip forw/back & play pause. after a bit of time the watch hands return to what time it is while keeping the music control up. This was a big need for me in my watch. works just how I love it. - Customize what each button does as a quick access from the watch face. IE: music, timer, stopwatch, workout... ect. - the wiggle of my wrist to make the arms of the clock spin around never gets old. :P Negatives: - The step counters/exercise/active minutes I don't think are the most accurate. So if you're a Fitbit person who needs all those stats, this may not be the watch for you. It does it all great for me. but that isn't my primary use for it. - The movements through the menus are a little clunky. takes a bit and the back button is a long press on the center button instead of the 4th back button on pebbles. - Doesn't default give activity stats to the Fitbit app. there are a few apps that can pull from the fossil > fitbit app. but its a bit of a task to get it working. the app I was using says I've used up my free trial, so not sure if its gonna work anymore without paying money. - no talk to text. - no quick text replies. (this is probably my saddest item I wish it had.) Conclusion: I'm not the neediest of individuals when it comes to smart watches. the pros WAY out wheighed the cons for me. This watch was the PERFECT fit for me and what I need. Favorite watch ever. I'm not everyone, so this may not be for you. hope this helps you decide.
