Fossil Sport Complete Walkthrough: An Affordable, Lightweight WearOS Smartwatch
The new Fossil Sport is now the second smartwatch to feature Qualcomm’s newest Wear 3100 chipset specifically built for Google’s WearOS wearable operating system (replacing the now two-year-old 2100) but it’s the first one that’s actually affordable (the other being the Montblanc Summit 2 that is around $1000).
Fossil was kind enough to send me one and so I figured I’d try and do a complete walkthrough on it for you guys. If you aren’t familiar, a complete walkthrough on my channel is where I try and go through every feature I can on a new device so you are better prepared should you be in the market to buy one.

Could you speak a little faster?

I have a fossil Q explorist and the stupid Google Assistant keeps telling me I have no internet connections, the crown depresses easily either activating voice input or shutting down the watch completely, buttons are not mappable, and the watch isnt supported by the fossil watch app. It looks pretty though. Any of these issues present on the Fossil Sport?
Google's Wear OS devices are the only smartwatches on the market, that have a day of a battery life. Seriously, every possible smartwatch offers at least 3 days (apple watch with an excellent screen) and much more days, or weeks, in more of a sport oriented devices like Garmin, with not as quality but always on screens.
Google just can't go above 24 hours of a battery life, no matter of how good hardware they use. Looking at the other watches on the market, I sometimes think they do this 24 hour limitation because of political or religious reasons and must apply limitations to the battery life on software level. Because at Google it can't be more than a day. It just can't.
Can you download from google music app?
So beautiful but unfortunately I can't afford it.
The do not disturb when off of wrist does not work as it should! It obnoxiously vibrates on the dock and scares the daylights out of me!!! Also, is there a way to prolong the screen to see the display for a longer period of time? I need to count my patient's respirations and heart rate for 30 to 60 seconds and find myself lconstantly flicking my wrist up and down to keep the screen active. Thanks!
It is a sports watch and this guy has nothing to say about it. Very disappointing video
Hi David, can you please do a video on Fossil Sport`s ability to take and make calls + receive and send messages from OnePlus 5T. It`s important to me that these functions work fine on the watch before buying it. Thanks.
Just in the review video, i can see so much lagg, whenever he was touching n moving screen
Thanks for the review. ?
You said "OK Google" & my phone launched it…
Do you suggest it for swimming and does it support swim tracking?
Where do you buy one, you dd not supply a linkto buy one.
Nice review summary… thanks. Why did they power the more efficient CPU with such a small battery?… screen on time is no different than the gen-4 explorist correct? I hope the explorist line (with its bigger battery and bigger size overall) gets the SD3100.
Tiny smartwatch for tiny wrists
That's so funny!!
battery cant hold 8 hours …
Well, the Apple Watch is still better (unless you can’t or don’t want to afford it)
was thinking of getting this but it seems fossil is out of stock or they just completely pulled it. they took down the page on their site completely.
Ticwatch C2, i WANNA KNOW MORE!!!
Three times the stock… way more than that… and I want this watch, I am a bit unsatisfied with the lack of battery information, but thanks for pointing out that the larger size is largely useless.
looks good
wish they were thinner and wider
i think the future is phablet style but for watches
like 100mm 2:1 ratio with video camera for skype & taking photos not having to bring phone with you
hell you could just make a strap for phones like an astronaut on ISS already have .. but phones are too big already
I can't find it anywhere
I love this smartwacht the only thing that i don't like. Is the battery and the easy way of the touchscreen scrash
When I rotate the crown, it doesn't move the screen up and down, anyone know why?
How on earth, this video triggered OK Google ON the phone the video is playing on??? What happened to voice match and how did that even activate??
Doesn’t work on iphone
I prefer a stainless steel body for a smartwatch. Nylon reminds me of plastic.
bought one of these and it's already broke, one of the plastic prong brackets for the watch strap broke on me the 2nd day I wore it. It definitely feels on the cheap side and I don't recommend the watch at all. Sent it back for a refund. Go with a tic watch instead
Great video! I had planned on buying this as a gift for someone but the Sport watch was taken off Fossil’s website (as of currently). The more I checked for it to be available, the more I read the reviews of the sibling watch the Gen 4, and there was an overwhelming amount of negative reviews of the battery life and glitches, so I got spooked out of buying one. It isn’t Christmas just yet, so if more reviews come out and it becomes available, perhaps I’ll still look into it, but this was the first good video I’ve seen on the product.
gear s3 is much better
so the one we see on the video is the 41mm or the 43 mm? That's weird to have the body change but the screen doesn't. what's the purpose of this?
Taiwan!
Hello from Taipei ?
Returned and got galaxy watch. Disappointed the fossil watch was lagging although had snapdragon 3100. Happy with galaxy watch.
NO SPEAKER!! AAAHHhhhhhhhhh!!
It has everything I want in a watch BUT a SPEAKER!!
Asked the Fossil Rep why? He said due to waterproofing ..
So I responded that it does have a Mic and that most waterproof phoneswatches have
waterproof speakers … The Rep did not have an answer and just stood there looking dumb!
I was so looking forward to this watch, but no speaker is a big No for me!!
Hopefully, there will be more watches like this that do have everything I need in the future!!
wow, super nice and detailed review! thanks a lot for making this vid!
Wear OS/Snapdragon processors are still not ready for primetime. Maybe next year.
The watch have a sleep tracker? It's allow swimming ?
Why don't you have root instructions and stuff on your website anymore?
Where is the esim?
Wow that was thorough, great review.
That bezel is ridiculous. I love listening to podcasts on my WearOS watch with an app called Wear Casts.
