So the fasten gen 5 has all kinds of upgrades. It has inbuilt speakers, hardware, sensor, nfc, gps, smartphone notifications and a lot more. So the question is: why would i get this one and not any other smart watch? So i have mine for about three weeks now and here’s my full in depth review about it. So let’s check out the nine things to know about the fossil generation: five carli hr 2096 smartwatch. So before we start with point number one, if you like my content, don’t forget to like and subscribe to my channel. If you want to support me so point number one building speakers, the fossil gen 5 has built in speakers and you can do all kinds of stuff with it. Of course, most of you will mainly use it for the google assistant, so let’s give it a try right, quick, just press it go to the side, click the microphone and how are you doing i’m good how’s your day going? So if it’s a little bit too quiet, you can just go to the settings, go to sound media volume, turn it a little bit up and give it a little boost. So let’s try it once again. How are you doing i’m doing great just getting into the groove this week with some fun jams? If you want me to play some, for, you just say: play music as you can see: they’re, not the best quality speakers, quite fuzzy, but not too bad either.
You can also take phone calls on this, since it has a built in mic too number two easy to change. Bands and clark faces. You can get the fossil gen 5 in a small number of different variations and designs, and i quite like the simple black one, the most it looks quite slick and elegant. If you have little wrist, this watch will look giant on you, but if you have decent size wrists, this one will fit perfectly. This model i’m revving today came with a silicone band, which is pretty good. If you want to get your fitness going and you have a pretty slanted 22 millimeter band, you can also easily change the band to another color or slap on a leather band. If you want to in order to do so, you just have to push in this little middle piece. I hope you can see it in the camera. Just push it in and tara. The bank comes off now in order to attach it back on there. It is a little bit more tricky, but you will get the hang of it pretty fast, so you just have to find a hole on the bottom side. Let’S see, and i cannot do it – yeah push it in and there we have it. So not that easy, but well i’m, not even that talented in such things, but even i got the hang of it after, like my third try, so i guess you will do it as well.
Okay, let me show you right, quick, the different variations of clock faces and how to change them now in order to change them. You just have to be at the home screen and press down for like two seconds: oh work, okay, so over here you can see some clock faces now, but but not all of them. So if you go all the way to the right, you see the little plus symbol. Oh, i was too slow, so a little plus so click it. And now you have all the pre installed. Clock faces right here and yeah quite a few, and it even will let you download some more from the google play store. So if you want to download some more there, you have it. Let’S get to point number three, a quick point: the first generation 5 smartwatch is compatible with iphones and android phones. Well, to be more specific, it is compatible with android, 6 plus or ios 12 and better number four google wearer s is perfectly enjoyable here on the foster gen 5.. So you have three physical buttons on the side of the watch. The main button on the middle will take it to the app menu in which you have all the pre installed apps on the foster smartwatch with another quick tap. It will take you back to the home screen. The other two buttons are fully customizable and the way you do it is by going to the settings gets to personalization click.
It go to customize hardware buttons, and now you can basically set them to be one of your existing apps. So let’s go back once again. If you swipe left, you will get to your oh wrong side. If you swipe left, you will go to the fitness style, the weather, your calendar, and you can even add more if you press down on the watch for another two seconds. Oh, do it and you can even add some more tiles if you want to to right here, you have like timer, brief, hardpoints, workouts, so let’s say just work out and there we have another tile installed and again, as previous smartwatches of the fossil brand, you have A nice view button and a cease so over here you have the airplane mode. You have the fire, my phone app do not disturb mode. You can turn on or off the sound, and you can do the same with the theater mode. Now you have a built in wi fi, so you can download google apps right from your store without being tethered to the smartphone or something like that, and you should be able to receive notifications and stuff like that, without being hooked up. In order to see all your notifications, you just give it a swipe up, and you see all the newest notifications. So i have like no notifications, no one’s thinking about me so and, as you probably saw, i left one out. This will be the battery mode, and this is the next point, so let’s get to point number five, the battery modes, so for that you have to swipe down or to the settings, go to dashboard click, the battery modes and right here we have the daily custom And time only mode which were already available in gen 4 and now here in gen 5, we have the extended mode as well, so the external mode will give you several days of lifetime battery lifetime with just one single charge.
Now the time only is solar lag. Good, since it only will show you the time, which is only good if you on long flights or something like that, where you really only care about the time, so the extended one as you can see, turns on essential features when you need them intended for charging. Every few days, so you can schedule when you want to have the bluetooth turned on so mine is turned on between 7 a.m and 10 p.m, but you can always swap that around. If you want to so let’s go to the details over here, you can see what is turned on and what not so display ambient is off screen waking button, tracking connectivity alerts and phone and so on phone. So there’s, not too many features turned on which is kind of bad. I don’t i don’t want to say bad, but it’s kind of bad since you get a smart watch for the features and all the kind of other kind of shenanigans, so it’s not that great. For me, i rather like the custom mode so on a custom mode you can select like display, always on the screen, waking tilt away. You can turn everything on what you want: uh, the wi fi location, nfc alerts phone controlled. Of course it will drain your battery life. You turn everything on, but i think that’s the better way of handling things on this watch now let’s get to point number six, some technical details, so the fossil watch is made out of a 44 millimeter stainless steel case and so far it has proven that it’s, A pretty tough nut because so far i don’t have any scratches or chips, even though i bumped into the wall, the one or other time and the screen didn’t get damaged either, which is definitely good to see, and the watch is water resistant up to 3 atmospheres.
Now the atmospheres is about 30 meters, so you can leave it on, while you’re snorkeling or whatever, and for the ones that want to know out there. This watch weighs 99 grams and the case is 12 millimeters thick the fastest 1.3 inch amoled display doesn’t seem that it has changed at all when you compare it to the gen 4 model, but the colors are still very crisp for reading tiny text. I hope it’s not too bright or not bright enough. If you want to change the brightness, just go to settings to display, adjust brightness, so mine is turned on on automatic, so let’s turn this one off and you have like five levels of brightness to choose from. So let’s turn it all the way up and there we have it. Of course, you also have sunlight boost which is turned on right now, so you can even read your tiny text at a very bright day, and i hope you can see it you even from different angles. You can see the time and the clark face pretty clearly so is no problem when the light is on so let’s get to point number seven, which is a quick point to build in gps. Of course, we have a built in gps in there as well. So you can track your movement wherever you go without having to take your phone with you, so let’s get to point number, eight, the heart rate sensor and some exercises.
As for point number, eight we have to turn the smart watch around and over here we got the hardware sensor that allows you to constant heart rate monitoring during the day passive. In the background, of course, you got the cardiogram feature as well, and everything on the watch for that you have to just get to the main menu in your apps click on cardiogram and yeah. Okay, i don’t have it on right now, but i have 120 beats per minute so, like i did cardio the last five nonetheless one minute so let’s get to the next part. Some exercises for that. You have to swipe left click over here and you can see your heart rate. Workout brief settings, let’s go to workout and, as you can see, you have quite a few workouts to choose from well. Those are the ones i always do, and so you have biking thread meal. You have high intensive interval, training, so hit training and you have some more workouts and that’s crazy. You have everything you need, so i don’t yeah, you have everything but stretching so if you consider stretching a workout, but you get a point now. Let’S get to point number, eight, a gigabyte of storage and one gig by ram. So you have eight gigabyte of storage. For plenty of apps and the rest, you know yeah, so, as you can see, i have plenty of pre installed apps already on here, so you have like the usual stuff like cardiogram play store your alarm.
You have your spotify and all that shenanigans. Of course, you also have one gigabyte of ram, so, as you can see, we have like no lagging or delay or anything when you swipe to another tile or if you open any apps like the cardiogram, so it’s, all pretty snappy, so that’s pretty cool on that Watch which not a lot of watches, have i mean one gigabyte. It might not seem too much for a pc, but for smartwatch is quite a lot. So folks, i hope you enjoyed the review if you did don’t forget to like the video and subscribe to my channel.
