ABOUT FOSSIL

Fossil is founded in 1984 when timepieces were created more for function than fashion, Fossil began to transform this notion with its unique combination of vintage 1950s Americana design and affordably accessible cool style. Adding to their collectability were the one-of-a-kind, trademark tins that came with the watches that mixed a creative spirit with a sense of humor. Today, Fossil produces over 300 different styles of watches in a continuously changing lineup. While the majority of designs are created by in-house designers, Fossil has reached out to such contemporary artisans as product designer Philip Starck and famed architect Frank Gehry to create uniquely modern timepieces. Fossil also offers complementary lines of small leather goods, belts, handbags, sunglasses, jewelry, and apparel.

FEATURES

With a water rating of 5ATM, you can wear your Fossil Q in the shower or when you swim. Take a photo with your phone camera app or Snapchat. Whatever your goal, whether you exercise, drink more water, eat better, your Fossil Q has what you need to make it happen.

You don't have to worry if you misplaced, your Fossil Q can tell your smartphone to play an audible alert so you can find it fast. Control your music with your phone's selected music player whether it's Spotify, Pandora, Soundcloud, Google Play, iTunes or Apple Music. By using the accompanying app, you can decide what type of notifications you wish to receive.

Add shortcuts to your favorite functions by customizing the pushers - set your pusher to take a photo, control music or find your phone.

FINAL REMARKS

This hybrid watch is a really awesome and classic watch with integrated smart technology.

Pros:

• Easy to Configure
• Perfect Size
• The Strap is quite good and comfortable.
• Bluetooth Connectivity strength is legitimate.
• Quick response for the Fossil Q support team.

Cons:

• Fossil Q application doesn't save your settings for a longer period of time.
• UI of the application is not much cache.
• Sleep data is not monitored correctly.
• Vibration time and strength need improvements.

Overall I would say it, as a worthy buy and value for the money we spend.
