Nice watch but could be…

I was so excited to receive this watch because I love watches and I love well made products, this looked like a beautiful watch with smart features. My initial impression on unboxing was that it met my expectations on visual quality, it's so nice! For some time, I've wanted a smart watch that wasn't just a screen and was a hybrid of a traditional clock dial and a smart watch so I was hopeful that it would be equally smart as it was visually beautiful. Charging was simple and fast! I was also really pleasantly surprised that although I have decent wrists and not thin stereotypical female ones that I actually had enough length on the leather strap with a notch or two spare, fantastic! Also the strap has two loops to secure the excess which is a nice bonus. I downloaded the app and got to setting up which was pretty simple, I then personalised the smart watch face and started to wear it daily. Although I was happy to wear it as it's a really lovely looking watch, the smart functionality could be better. Positives were that I could read messages, know when my phone was ringing and who it was without getting it out my pocket, assess my commute home quickly and receive notifications, it even lights up so you can see the time in dim or night time conditions and don't forget that it's waterproof too. The most notable is the battery life, it is beyond impressive, it's outlasted any other smart watches I've ever owned and had gone 3-4 weeks between charges...on the negative side, the step counter isn't accurate, the sleep function just totally fails and it never picked up when I was actually exercising, normally only when I wasnt! In general, it's a decent watch for time telling but the app and smart side of it need some work to bring up to acceptable standards. They could do with benchmarking some of the popular best selling smart and fitness watches to know where to improve their app and functionality. Nice try Fossil, need to try a bit harder. I'll still continue to wear mine as I do like it but I will completely ignore trying to use it as a fitness and sleep tracker. Saved from being a 3 star review for being so visually pleasing.
