? Skagen Falster 2 Review – A Pretty Smartwatch with Google’s Wear OS
Skagen released at IFA the Skagen Falster 2, a pretty and minimalistic smartwatch with Googleโs Wear OS. This minimalistic and pretty smartwatch is, however, equipped with an old chipset & short battery-life. Yet, I still love it, and hereโs why. Soon on Amazon:
The Falster 2 Smartwatch boasts an interactive, swimproof touchscreen and a range of smart features powered with Wear OS by Googleโข including: heart-rate tracking, Google Assistant, smartphone notifications, activity tracking, Google Pay, GPS and more. Choose from time- or function-based displays for easy access to your favorite features, and add your favorite third-party apps from the Google Play store. The interchangeable magnetic steel-mesh strap provides secure fastening and a comfortable fit, while a battery-efficient dial design provides up to 24 hours of use on a single charge. Each watch comes with a magnetic charger.
Wear OS by Google works with phones running Android 4.4+ (excluding Go edition) or iOS 9.3+. Supported features may vary between platforms and countries. Wear OS by Google is a trademark of Google LLC. Google Assistant and Google Pay available in select markets. To avoid damage to your watch, only use with included charger. Do not use a USB hub, USB splitter, USB y-cable, battery pack or other peripheral device to charge. Battery life varies based on usage.

This minimalistic & pretty smartwatch runs Google's Wear OS and I love it, even though it is not perfect. What do you think of Watches with Google's Wear OS?
this guy so awkward therefore his speech not clearly
confidence is top priority
No mention of ipx rating, speaker or mic etc. Is this really a review or joke?
Definitively the most beautiful Wear OS smartwatch ATM. But I'm with you, 2-5mm more would have been nice. Concerning the CPU: yes, it's getting old, but the newer 3100 seems to be not faster and just a bit more energy efficient…
Its Fossil Q Explorist Gen 4 -__-"
90% of your video is you on the screen and not the watch….is the video about you talking about a watch or the watch itself?
Besides the battery life and the price I think it's actually the best looking smartwatch by right now
The description of the watch says you can store music and play it via bluetooth, does that mean for example that you can put your own music that you bought on a cd on the watch or do you need to buy & download it from google play again? Nice review! ??
3100 isn't that great either..
Any more cheaper but worth buying watch for men guys?
I would love to see a more in-depth review of the watch! Thank you!
It's got the old chip set. Another new Wear OS watch with the dated 2100 chip. Enough said.
Great review. Btw its "on spot=spot on".
battery sucks ! garmin fenix 5 lasts 20 days
Can you make a full review of Falster 2? It will be very helpful, thanks.
Which processor is this running?
It's worth to mention Misfit Vapor as it is very very similar except no NFC build in, the price is only 199 euro.
this watch looks like Fossil Q Gen 4 right?
Full walk-through please!
I think it is over priced, if you look at the samsung galaxy watch that is a but more expensive but way better in my opinion, or the less expensive tic watch pro that is also better, i dont think it is smart to buy this device, unless you really like the brand or design
Are all 3 'buttons' on the side just push or does the middle one rotate?
Great review Martijn! I was just looking into this watch, so your review is incredibly helpful.
Just a few questions:
Seeing that this watch uses a 2100 chipset and 3100 are slated to come out soon, is it best to pass up this watch?
If not, do you think it's worth waiting for new watches to come out to diminish the price of 2100s?
Again, thanks for the great review.
How is the whatsapp notification and alarm function?
Does it have a speaker (if you ask google something, does it speak back) or can you make calls?
It sounded nice until i heard the price ๐
I'd prefer to spend my money on the Xiaomi Amazfit Stratos / Pace 2 Smartwatch which sells for about โฌ 150
so when will it be on the market?
Beautiful… But not from Xiaomi ๐
