Fossil Gen 5E Review ｜Watch Before You Buy

[@hgbtheman]

Sorry if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure that the The 5E doesn't have built-in GPS cuz I have it and I went on a run without my phone one time and it didn't like track the distance properly

[@PalleTOUR]

Yes

[@Ris-v4w]

​@@Brokenpixel22so it does NOT have GPS built in?!? and still gives you only 1day of battery? 😮 💩

[@mzthickness817]

it dies really fast when using its smart features so expect to charge it a few times a day. ive even donloaded an app to get the web on it bc its not defaulted on it you'd think tho

[@elleari89]

1:49 it appears you're scrolling through the apps in your phone, but I haven't been able to figure out how to get my watch to do that.

What is the watch face at 4:01 and how could I find it?

[@ghstofperdition]

The 5e does not have built in GPS. Also the battery life on mine truly sucks. I just factory reset it a few days ago to see if that helps and it did not. Some times on a full charge I'll get 2 hours of battery life! I have screenshots where it says I have 98% battery and 2 hours of life. I have to plug the watch back in and restart it then I get better numbers but still it usually 8-12 hours which sucks. It's supposed to go a full 24 hours.

Thats true mate...Mine has battery issues too.. also sometime when you are in good mood and try out some new watch faces it gets little heated and charge goes down even faster.. Also dont put the brightness to full and enable scheduled bluetooth connection .. its helping me a lot to conserve the battery life !!

[@unknownmr5718]

In the videos he says it has built in GPS? Iam confused

[@unknownmr5718]

Also did u guys buy it from the official fossil site?

[@Ramstn87]

Had mine for a few days and I don't like it. Depending on where I am, my phone will be fine with signal and connectivity but the watch doesn't work. I can't make calls with it outside my home, can't play KZbin music, text to speech works when it wants to. My wife has an apple watch and can do a lot more than my gen5e. I'm a little pissed a spent all that money for a smart watch to not fully work when I need it to.

[@clifflin7149]

Is the frame scrollable? (which looks like samsung's watch, but it seems it's not scrollable?)

[@whurzy3043]

do you know if you can connect it to phone

[@MissMalikaA]

Can you answer calls and speak through it on a call? Can you type out text messages or is it just a few pre made messages?

[@TurtlCards]

You can answer calls on the watch

[@MissMalikaA]

@@TurtlCards thank you

[@CarMedia2364]

You can also type out text messages

[@taqveem]

Great, what about WhatsApp?

[@MissMalikaA]

@@CarMedia2364 thank you

[@Ris-v4w]

I don't get it.... how come huawei gets you 2 weeks of battery while having GPS, stress maxvo and sleep tracking all active would bring the battery life to 1week. but charging the watch daily?!? what the.....

[@hhgenao]

good intro 👍

[@look4shalom]

Can you please help me out...??? How to change the weather from °F to °C for Fossil smartwatch 5e 2111...

[@ashleyspells-hayes5539]

I've had mine 3 days. I had the Alta HR and then bought the Garmin 4. I loved that I could wear those for days and still didn't need to charge, but I wanted a more versatile watch. OK, so I love that it's a Google Wear product. It paired perfectly with my Note 20! I'm still trying to figure out all the featured, hence coming to watch videos lol. I love that it shows me the actual picture when someone texts me. I love the sleep mode and heart function. I haven't tried music or the talking on it yet. The Garmin had actual workout routines built in it, which I love. It was a great fitness watch, hands down. But I wanted more phone features. I can't always grab my phone at work, so I wanted to be able to have the capability of using my watch. I wish it had more buttons or the swivel like Samsung, but so far, it's awesome!

[@pratikstar]

It doesn;'t have a built-in GPS!!

[@Wabadabalobo]

Lol, google assistant is gone. WTF fossil
