Fossil Women's GEN 6 Touchscreen Smartwatch with Speaker, Heart Rate, NFC, and Smartphone Notifications

When FTW6077 watch arrived I wasn't quite sure about the diamantes as I also have the FTW6078 watch which is the grey / stainless steel version of this one. I hadn't noticed that this rose gold version actually has diamontes in two rows along the length of the strap aswell as the face being surrounded with diamontes. Those first impressions didn't last as the style did grow on me! The watch has all the same functionality as the FTW6078 version. I am not that technically savvy but I was able to connect the watch to my phone easily and start using it to set my daily steps goals / monitoring, set alarms and check heart rate etc. I was also pleasantly surprised to find the face of the watch on this FTW6077 rose gold version is the same size as the FTW6078 - I had assumed it may be smaller in circumference to target those with a smaller wrist. I have really small wrists but I prefer this size of face as you have the benefit of being able to see more on the screen rather than squinting and scrolling on a smaller face. The face is approx. 4.2cm in diameter. I had commented on the battery life previously (I would prefer it to be a tad longer) however I was advised to switch off a few notifications and this definitely helped stretch the battery life. For the price point , this is a really good contender and worth your consideration. I would perhaps wait until the updated operating system is introduced as this will help give better functionality for longer between charging.

however it needs charging up every day so am unable to use sleep function.

The media could not be loaded. The watch arrived in a square box with a six on the outside I presume to represent Gen 6 with the top being clear plastic to display the watch. Once opened the watch is sandwiched between bespoke card holding it securely in the centre of the box, in the bottom you get the charging lead along with a multilingual product information book and setup guide.First impressions: the watch is quite heavy and slightly thicker than I expected with all the finishing looking immaculate. The main winder/adjustment dial has a nice smooth action and a good positive click when pressed in, the two additional buttons also have a good positive click when pressed. The watch strap although a Fossil brand I didn’t think matched the quality of the watch and is very large even if the strap was for a man’s watch and I ended up removing seven links for it to fit my wife’s wrist.Once the watch was fully charged I went through the setup guide which is really more of an instruction to turn on the Bluetooth then get the Wear OS companion app, open it up and follow the onscreen instructions. The whole process is very straight forward and it linked to an iphone 11 pro max without any issues.The watch comes pre-installed with several applications with a fitness app being linked to a single press on the top button and a payment app on the bottom button, these can be changed fairly easily via the settings and my wife set these to a weather app and google maps. The watch can be used for phone calls but the sound quality is limited having a small speaker away from the ear so although usable it does sound rather tinny both ends of the call. The watch does have google assist which works well and also has Alexa on it but this is listed as coming soon.The swipe function is nice and smooth and the watch can also be navigated via twisting the winder again all very smooth. The display is extremely clear and very easy to see, and the touch functions very accurate and responsive, ever allowing you to type accurately on an onscreen keyboard. The watch does need charging daily which means if you use the sleep tracking function you would need to either charge before sleeping or give it a charge in the morning for a day’s use.The notification system works really well and enables you to link calls and notifications to a vibration and onscreen message on the watch. The companion app works well but does lack the ability to adjust full functionality of the watch and in my opinion could do with more features. The dial display changing is a nice feature and makes it very easy to change to look of the watch face.Overall in my opinion this is a very smooth watch with a mass of features and adjustments that work smoothly and flawlessly thus far. It is quite a big watch and I really wasn’t very keen on the supplied strap, the touch sensitivity is exceptionally good with the swipe menu being really smooth, and the companion app works well although somewhat limited. My wife really likes the watch and the ability to personalise it to your own taste and needs.

This is my 3rd fossil smart watch first 2 where really great so decided to upgrade the the gen 6. Returned after 6 months due to poor response on the touch screen and every time I received a call it would hangup the call on my phone and then drain the battery after an hour. Always kept it updated in terms of software but was still very buggy and performance issues prompted my return. After buying a new Google pixel 2, I now understand how poor the os system really is. Very disappointed as fossil have always produced really good watches.

Didn’t use it long enough to asses battery life due to returning watch , you have to connect to Bluetooth twice if you have I phone , and I had twice reseto factory settings in hope of getting this watch to connect but it just wouldn’t connect twice ! Which meant I couldn’t make or receive calls and this watch does not allow I phone users to reply to txts via watch , and only received internet based msgs, but watch itself is gorgeous if anyone is looking for a stylish watch who doesn’t use apple phone. Waiting for over 15 days still waiting for the refund 🧐

Sent this item back after contacting fossil directly. The watch keeps disconnecting from my phone and I get no notifications. Fossil said this is a known issue ad as long as watch and phone are charged above 70% this shouldn't happen. A fix is in the work but no eta so essentially the watch is useless untill then. It looks great though and the ui is good. Just wish the battery atch was actually ready before I purchased.

The battery life is disappointing. You have to recharge it every day. Also the weather does not appear to work ? It won`t pick up the location?

Better then on photo
