The Fossil Gen 5 Smartwatch may be the best smartwatch on the market. Thanks to their notorious aesthetics, new adjustable battery control software, watch category presets, and impressive engineering, this watch turns heads and keeps you going for days at a time. In this video, I review this watch and test the limits of these claims. Is this the smartwatch for you? Is the fifth generation fossil smartwatch the best in the game? Watch and we will find out together.

Some added review notes:
Things I like about the watch –
* Battery controls (time only, extended, custom, and daily modes allow for a smartwatch that can adapt to my needs and last longer)
* Loud speaker on board for easy hearing in any setting
* Google Assistant
* Clear microphone
* Wifi, GPS, NFC, and BT (for connecting to your phone or to bluetooth earbuds)
* 8GB Storage + 1GB RAM
* Fossil categories
* Great user interface (easy to use and very intuitive)
* Customizable mechanical buttons
* Great aesthetics and feel on the wrist
* Nice band selection
* Charger orientation does not matter
* Excellent button feel
* 3 buttons is better than 1 for smartwatches since the screen is so small
Things I would like to see improved
* More watch tiles
* Better screen to bezel ratio (already pretty good though)
* Quicker lift to wake response
* Better apps (not Fossil’s or Google’s fault really, just something I would like)
* WearOS and Fossil apps on phone: I wish I could do more customization from my phone rather than just from the watch settings. The watch screen is small and my phone is large. I like being able to adjust things from my phone.

Amazfit bip gives me 30+ days battery life. I am good.
What about the fitness options?
When the hell is Google gonna make a true Google branded watch!
google assistant is much better than Bixby
Why do they don't use transflective displays anymore? For smartwatch is the most sensible option.
THIS REVIEW SHOWED ME NOTHING DIFFERENT THAN THE GALAXY WATCH OR IWATCH. and if the only thing is google assistant, well. if your an original Alexa user , than, who cares about google assistant. Thats for people less tech savvy, as we all know Alexa is a thousand times better. well, the tech gurus know it.
Note 📝 paper in your review. Don’t you got an iPad to jot down your notes 📝? 😂 I couldn’t remember all that . I got the Gen 4. Been waiting for this one . Because Fossil stores don’t sell discontinued models . But some trade in for 50% off newer models .
If my dad was still alive…after he got over having cell phones, he would be amazed! Great video mate!
hey Fossil! you have removable straps (conceivably reversible) and a perfectly circular screen. how hard would it be to have a flip screen option to turn this into a left-handed watch?
Alright alright, 1st video i see, new SUB for sure 👌👌
Good review,, plz do more reviews!
At the 7:10 mark – it says "Waxing" on the watch – what is that?
This review is so comprehensive. You got my subscribe just from a single video.
Definitely gonna buy one during Black Friday/ cyber Monday
Thumbs up for the fact that you listen to my morning jacket alone
nice review men!
Very nice review. If someone is left handed, they would simply change the band orientation and the buttons & dials would be on the other side. Unless you are saying the phone doesn't have an option to switch the vertical orientation which would be a big over site by Android Wear & Fossil.
Check the Wear OS thread on Reddit. Fossil watches have really bad construction quality. There's a lot of people that had their GEN 5 bottom, (the part where the charging rings are), starting to fall in less than one month. For what I've read that's a problem that exists since GEN3 but Fossil doesn't give a sh*t about it.
Excellent review. Great camera and audio quality, well spoken and well presented. Cheers!
So I went back to the Fossil shop yesterday and upon examining the watch they told me that the reason this has happened is because if you leave the watch on charge over night the watch becomes to hot and causes it to swell up inside then loosens up the case back cover so not impressed as the watch cost me £269 .THEY TOLD ME NOT TO LEAVE IT ON CHARGE FOR MORE THAN ONE HOUR ! So really the charging circuit has floor in as that it should cut out once the battery has been fully charged or supply a dedicated charger that has current limit cut switch built in to avoid OVER CHARGING . They have given me a replacement watch but im going to sell it im not happy with it at all as i've had several smart watches before and never had this problem
Has anyone ever had the issue where the assistant doesn't respond and you just get "cannot connect to google" or something like that?
This guy is best in reviewing.. just watched only one video and subscribed.. he knows what to say instead of telling some unrelated shits …
BUT! Can we flip the watch face so the button and dial are on the other side, like towards your arm. I find that someitmes wearing the Fossile watches, I active "hey google" a lot cause I accidentally hold down the "home button"
Can you use Google pay on your watch but Samsung pay on your phone?
Can we open phone gallery on watch??
Does it have inbuilt sleep tracker?
I currently have the Gen 4 and it's pretty laggy. Do you think it's worth upgrading to the Gen 5?
Any screenguard suggestion?
Please rubbish !! the back of the watch JUST FELL OFF !!! my gen 5 lol Im not kidding wtf
Love your reviews! You can tell you're putting a lot of effort into it
Hi .. I have the same clock but the maximum battery is 6 hours just how the battery you have and thanks
Thanks for the review, I am experiencing an issue with this.
I had the watch connected to my phone via bluetooth, which was using mobile data. But I am not able to use Google assistant on the watch. (I have to connect to Wifi in my phone to use google assistant) It says something like,
"Make sure your watch is connected to wifi or to your phone" . Can someone help? Should I get this replaced??
Finally, an in depth review that wasn't "wow! The screen is so bright!"
Liked and subscribed
bro can we add a widget on watchface like there are some glucose monitoring apps that can be installed and i main question is if it's possible to add its widget on the watch face or not
Thanks for all the info. So… does this watch do good for reminders? On my TicWatch Pro, if i set a reminder, i might get it on my watch and I might now. Who knows. TicWatch says it is Wear OS and Google seems to say it is the watch. I've not seen many reviewers report on this. Thx!
Does the watch need to be paired to a phone to use Google Assistant on the watch? Or, can you simply connect to a wifi network if you have access to it without using your phone?
Are you Tom Holland's brother?
Great review! Thanks!
Hey I do. lol I care what the moon phase is. I LOVE the full moon and love waiting for it and the days leading.up to it. Of course, I can always look up at the sky..but during Winter when I am not out after dark..this would remind me.
moon phase is important if you are a weirwolf
Can you play games on here?
How hard would it be to make a setting on the watch for right and left hand use? I mean what am I missing? Just set it to left hand use and turn the display over.
Darn, just ordered this watch. I'll have to see how it works for a lefty. Bending your left wrist away from body and turning the middle button may work and it won't block the screen. I'll have to see it in practice.
This is one of the most detailed and unbiased review of this watch. It is surely going to help me decide. Thanks!
I'm like this strap… Where can I buy it?
Has anyone tried downloading snapchat on this? If so, how did it work?
what about calling ?
dose this add music automatically everyday like the Samsung watch dose. I don't want music added to the watch there is no was to stop this on the Samsung watch. on a side note the ear pods and music listening have cause a lot to damage there hearing
Anyone having issues with the buttons are they sturdy? Can you just say ok Google or do you have trigger the button.
How you can Download the music on your app? With play music?
