Your Wear OS smartwatch reviews are the best out there. I particularly appreciate that you use the watches for a long time before your reviews. 04:46 Fossil's poor show in the phone call department is hilarious, in a bad way! The 4 year old Huawei Watch does it flawlessly. Glad it's been fixed by Fossil. I wonder if that has any effect on battery life?

And about the video THANK YOU for make a positive video with good objective mind about pros and cons without just being negative about wear OS. I was tired checking videos from Dammit posers and KZbinrs that hate Wear OS and make reviews all the way negative.... its so stupid actually. The point its provide your Cons and pros from an neutral perspective.

I love the function of the apple watch that allows you to still receive notifications, phone calls, etc. on your watch as long as your phone and watch are connected to the same wifi network (even if your phone is out of bluetooth range from your watch). Do you know of any wear OS watches that have that same feature? I have a pixel 2 and would really like to be able to leave my phone in one part of my work setting and still get notifications on my watch even if I'm more than bluetooth range away (but connected to my work wifi network). Would love to be able to do that in my house as well. I've been searching for this for so long that I'm thinking about switching to an iphone just to get an apple watch and be able to do this! Would love any insights on whether this exists with any wear OS watch.

I've been using the watch with all the features enabled and with Google fit tracking my workout for an hour and a half and it makes it through the day. You should check to see if there's an app draining the battery through the Wear OS app

Is this watch capable of managing phone calls and messages when Bluetooth is off and WiFi is on? I was told that with WiFi and Cloud Sync this is possible but must be assured that calls can be made/received throughout the entire WiFi network. Anyone can be so kind to test and tell me? Thanks a lot!

You can reply to messages when only on WiFi and Bluetooth off but can't answer calls on WiFi alone since it uses Bluetooth for that.

Yes you can, with the 3ATM you can swim up to 30meters or 100 feet in depth. This is fossil statement "Wash your hands, jump into the shower or hit the pool without fear. Your smartwatch will be safe and sound."-Fossil. I wonder if they would cover it under their warranty if it gets water damage eventually.
