Fossil Gen 5 vs. Fossil Gen 5e | Smartwatch Comparison | What's the difference ?

[@vhscopyofrainman163]

Thank you for this. I had no idea they were basically the same watch aside from cosmetic differences. You saved me a lot of money

[@SnakEyEz357]

I didn't even know about the 5e until I bought the fossil 5...great review

[@TheProductReviewer]

Hey thanks for the props. I really think not to many know about the 5e since everyone is kind of focused on the Gen 5.

[@mrphildc]

Fossil Gen 6 coming out in July. Looking forward to a another good review from you :)

[@TheProductReviewer]

As soon as I get it you will get to see the review :)

How on earth does this guy not have more subscribers?!?! Great job man, keep it up!

[@TheProductReviewer]

Thanks you ! I am glad you like the videos. I wonder how big this channel can get but I just love doing these video.

[@shreyas3109]

Good for you! By the way, I'm looking to buy a smartwatch, and I have narrowed it down to the Oppo watch and the fossil gen 5... Which one should I choose between the two? Or should I go for another watch?

[@TheProductReviewer]

If I would have to choose one I would get the Fossil Gen 5 buuut this year (fall) Fossil might release Gen 6 so if you can wait I would wait a little longer.

[@debojitk]

@1:21 you explained ppi. When ppi is same how text on 5e would be more crisp as compared to 5? That is the reason 5 has got more pixels than 5e

[@TIMELORD-r7p]

Great vid mate thanks for making it 👍

[@TheProductReviewer]

Glad you like it 👍🏽

[@gauravdas598]

Any issue after updates for Fossil gen 5e? I saw a video where the watch becomes corrupt. In a dilemma. Never got a smart watch so. Thinking of getting 5e

[@mediumc6176]

Thank you very much. This will probably save me money as I assumed the price difference was from quality. Seems like brands outside of apple actually still make their cheaper models worthwhile

[@TheProductReviewer]

I am glad I could help you

[@vivekverma1821]

strap size is same for both?

[@tonymoore2100]

Great review... Do you know if you can add KZbin Music to either of them?

[@TheProductReviewer]

No unfortunately you can't

[@tonymoore2100]

@@TheProductReviewer I'm tired of Google caring more about Spotify and the like instead of their own products

[@RandomPerson19]

There is also one other difference specifically with the models for women. On the gen 5 the strap is 22mm wide where as the 5e it is 18mm wide so you have to be careful when buying a new strap..

[@alanarmstrong3109]

Hey i had a quick question that is can fossil 5e make calls if the phone battery dies?

[@TheProductReviewer]

No you need to have your smartphone connected

[@rohankarche20]

Hey I have seen in some videos that the gen 5/4 charging ring falling off...is it repaired?

[@TheProductReviewer]

I haven't had any issues like that before so I can't tell you

[@sharifhaidar9798]

Is fossil garrett gen 5 better or emporio armani connected hybrid smartwatch 2 better? What is the difference between hybrid and gen 5? I cant decide which one to go for. Pls let me know.

[@TheProductReviewer]

The difference between a hybrid and a normal smartwatch are pretty simple. Hybrid smartwatches are actually normal analog watches but they also track your steps, milage and calories. Maybe some have more features but normally that's all you get with a hybrid smartwatch. Now I would say that the garrett gen 5 is better than the armani hybrid watch since you have all the smartwatch features and a nice design. So it really depends on if you want to have a buffed up analog watch are a real smartwatch.

[@sanjithvarma8421]

Hey bud, planning to buy a new watch.....fossil gen 5e or diesel full gaurs 2.5 Dzt 2011....what do you suggest?

[@TheProductReviewer]

Since both watches have wear os there really isn't to big of a difference but still I would go with the Fossil Gen 5.

[@manilaloves]

Thaaanks! I'm having trouble looking for a gift and It's difficult when one's not tech savvy. Haha

[@TheProductReviewer]

Haha glad I could help you.

[@ytoverntflx]

Does it make sense to get the fossil 5e now ? It's almost 2 year old tech is it worth it ?

[@TheProductReviewer]

I would really consider rather going for the newer fossil gen 6. maybe even wait a few more weeks until the fossil gen 7 will be released „hopefully”. The price should drop after that again

[@bhavyamudunuru1529]

Galaxy watch 2 or fossil 5e?.. what is your suggestion

[@TheProductReviewer]

I would go with the Fossil Gen 5. Both watches are great but I think the Fossil Gen 5 is slightly better

[@amirulsafiq7999]

Ho to set our picture for background display

[@TheProductReviewer]

I am seeing that fossil 5e does not have inbuilt gps. Is it true?

[@TheProductReviewer]

Yes you see right

[@jeroenvanderheide3570]

The 5e does not have GPS on the watch. It only works when your phone is connected.

[@TheProductReviewer]

I know thats why I blended the text in to correct myself in the video :)

Hi can you tell me which one is good for iphone 11? Because i dont like apple watches design 😁 Thank you

[@TheProductReviewer]

Well I only test my watches with android so I can tell for sure but normally both watches should have no real connection problems with iOS

[@zohracreation]

@@TheProductReviewer thank you for answer

[@17PAT17]

How much would we expect the price to go down when the Gen 6 comes out?

[@TheProductReviewer]

I really don't know but I guess both watches would drop by like 30 euros.

[@nuwangajaweera4128]

Really helpful. Thanks

[@shamikraut4105]

Can you tell me best watch I can buy in range of 300 euros

[@TheProductReviewer]

I would go with the Fossil Gen 5 or the Samsung Galaxy 3.

[@RahulPatel-lt7nb]

Which one to buy fossil or apple watch for my iphone 11 with a tight budget but full of important features?😜

[@TheProductReviewer]

Oh well hard question but since you have an iPhone the most suited smartwatch would be the apple watch.

[@karan.kaushal]

Is there any difference in the battery life? Is the 5e's battery capacity same or decreased when compared to 5?

[@TheProductReviewer]

There is no difference in the battery life of these two watches. Both last for about a day.

[@nathanspaeth5819]

Can you make and receive calls on these watches? Looking to upgrade from my Samsung S3. But if they don't call I don't want them.

[@TheProductReviewer]

Yes both watches have the "on wrist call" feature but you have to be connected to your smartphones Bluetooth.

[@nathanspaeth5819]

Thanks I'll be ordering the 5e now. Amazon has them in sale for $100off. Can't wait to get back to WearOS

[@TheProductReviewer]

Well that's quite the deal got right there. I really like wear OS and Fossil watches. When I'm not testing any watches I always wear my Gen 5.

[@TheProductReviewer]

No it doesn't have built in GPS. It uses your smartphones GPS.

[@Subhankar29]

hey there.. nice review of both the smartwatches. I have two questions though.. 1) does any of these two have Sp02 or oxygen monitoring ? 2) among the apps, can I install youtube music or any other music app apart from Spotify ?

[@TheProductReviewer]

Thanks for the props. 1) Now neither of the smartwatches have Sp02. 2) So I basically just went trough all the apps and there are no "popular" apps like deezer, pandora or KZbin music. You are stuck with Spotify or other smaller music apps like Mp3 music player, nav music or sun player.

[@Subhankar29]

@@TheProductReviewer now that's a bummer but thanks for the update. cheers :)

[@dolo3]

Great question, you just saved me from buying this watch. I assumed all Android Wear devices could run KZbin Music. Better question why tf is KZbin Music not natively built into Wear OS😖. I feel like this was a Fossil decision.

[@jasongale3773]

@@dolo3 no it's because wear os has been lowkey forgotten by Google, until recently did they start caring again

[@dolo3]

@@jasongale3773 I'm just saying if KZbin Music and WearOS are both owned by the same parent company, Google (Alphabet to be technical). You'd think from a developer and business standpoint WearOS would natively have YTMusic built in. I dunno I guess I'm dumb for assuming

[@unknownlad1213]

Bro i got the gen 5e and it drains the battery in little over an hour with full use. Is this normal? What should i do to fix it?

[@TheProductReviewer]

It definitely is not normal but u would try to turn it of and charge kt back to 100% and see what will happens than. Otherwise you need to take it to the shop i guess.

[@drabrolhospital]

Great review wat u prefer bdw

Thanks but I definitely prefer the Fossil Gen 5.

[@nakulmenon5591]

So it’s not possible to download music on the Fossil 5e?

[@TheProductReviewer]

No it's not :/

[@priyomb6381]

Can you tell me a smartwatch which can be worn full day...at gym too...in this price range only

[@TheProductReviewer]

What do you want the watch to do ? Long battery life or daily charging? Offline music ? Well if I would have to wear a watch all day every day it would be the Samsung Active 2 or the Fossil Gen 5. Huawei is to chunky for sport and sleep. Samsung Galaxy 3 is also not very comfortable at night plus short battery life. Xiaomi watches aren't as accurate as Samsung active 2 or Fossil gen 5 and has less features.

Thank you for the response and kudos on taking it in the right sense❤️❤️

[@TheProductReviewer]

At first I didn't know what you were talking about but you are right. But you are right that I didn't talk about that feature. Are you scrolling through the tiles with the button instead of swiping with your fingers ?🤔

[@govindjraghav7681]

Yes that feels more convenient like in apple watch's digital crown

[@TheProductReviewer]

I am the complete opposite of you. I almost never use the button to scroll 😅 but I guess everyone has its own favorite way of scrolling
