FTW7027
Poor experience

So I finally received my Fossil Hybrid Smartwatch FTW7027 after waiting over a week.
On opening the box I realised how chunky and heavy it is. I own a full on smartwatch and this seems heavier than that one. I must compare them. It looks lovely, black stainless steel, and quite stylish.
I then realised that there was no proper manual. There is a leaflet on how to get connected, but I had no idea what the buttons did. The app wasn't particularly helpful either. I reverted to Google and YouTube for assistance.
The screen seems rather dull and this aging geezers eyes are struggling to read anything (see attached photo). I am currently wearing and comparing with a Huawei Smartband 5. I was looking for something to replace the band with as my LG smartwatch isn't waterproof (and the battery life is awful) and I wanted the versatility of a smartwatch. The screen on the band is tiny but I can read it as it is brighter.
Another thing I am struggling with - the App tells me that I can create custom faces, a feature I enjoyed on my LG, but I cannot get the app to add images. Any YouTube videos show older versions on the app. Has the feature been removed?? It may require more "play" to figure it out. Although A MANUAL WOULD HAVE HELPED .
As I get used to the watch over the next few days my initial feeling may change, but I just feel short changed so far compared to my initial glee when I got my LG smartwatch. I definitely would NOT pay the £200plus RRP.
