Smart watches, and i will be honest. It was not a good experience, but it was a good enough experience that it convinced me to go out and spend some actual money on an actual smart watch. So i went and bought the fossil sport and it’s lived on my wrist for the past six months. Let’S talk about how it’s held up since then Music, first off let’s talk about the biggest gripe that people have with the fossil sport, and that would be the specs while it’s paired with the very popular snapdragon 3100. It has half a gigabyte of ram that half gigabyte ram is what most people attribute to the poor performance that they experience. Poor performance that, in my six months with this watch, has been so infrequent and so insignificant that i can count all the times. It was a problem on one hand, there’s none as much as wear os can be clunky and elegant. It never felt slow or unresponsive or like it was getting in my way. Now that definitely can be attributed to the fact that i have very little and sold on my watch. In fact, i went out of my way to uninstall things, but the user experience was still complete one moment, so i haven’t had issues with the sports performance, but its battery life is another story. When i first started using it, we were in lockdown. I was at home all the time, and so it was mostly just a fitness and sleep tracker, and for that it worked great, a couple hours of exercise every day, and then it was on my desk for most of the other time until i went to bed And it was my sleep tracker, but coming out of lockdown, where we now are mostly going back to work and having regular days it struggles after a six hour shift at work, i can make it home pretty comfortably, but if i go to dinner or take a Long walk it’s almost guaranteed that the sport is going to be dead before i get on the train, home and that’s, pretty notable blemish on an otherwise fairly solid smartwatch experience.
Now this isn’t, just the fossil sport, wear os as a whole. Has this problem – and i found that using the pre installed fossil watch faces alleviates this problem to an extent, while the battery life is thoroughly disappointing. The cause of it, which is the tiny frame, is probably my favorite aspect of its design. I have very small wrists, so whenever i have a watch strapped to my hand, it can tend to look kind of big and a lot of smart watches are kind of chunky because they got ta fit all the bits and bobs that make them work. Another issue i have with larger watches is that they’re heavy like a constant reminder that they’re on your wrist – and i really hate that sensation, but the fossil sport is neither of those at an almost unnoticeable 40 grams. I pretty regularly forget that it’s on my wrist until the notification buzzes through and vibrates on my hand and the 12 millimeter case height, makes it look pretty sleek even next to some of my dumb watches, which is, i think, kind of impressive. The aluminium and nylon finish seems pretty resilient, though i never take it off and i’m kind of clumsy, so there are definitely some knocks and scratches all over it, but it’s still looking pretty good six months down the line. I really appreciate the simple design, it’s, pretty low, key and sure it’s, not as fancy or elegant or futuristic as something like the galaxy watch active but it’s also a hundred dollars cheaper speaking of the price.
I grabbed fossil sport at 200, here in australia and at that price, you’re, getting heart rate tracking gps nfc for google pay, which use that every day and love it as well as a fairly bright oled display, though, if you set it to automatic, it seems to Only do the very lowest or the very highest and nothing in between, but that might just be my watch. If you’re on android, i would recommend spending the extra money on galaxy watch active or literally anything that has a better battery life than this.1cpd4-SNRK0
