You might think the modern smartwatch doesn’t have much in common with its century-old mechanical ancestor, but you'd be wrong. See, as different as they look, all these generation-5 smartwatches from the Fossil Group actually pack the same basic guts - just like a hundred years ago, when manufacturers would put the same mechanical movement into a variety of cases to sell different styles. That’s why the Fossil Group has the widest selection of smartwatches running Google’s WearOS platform, but -watch out for the double edged sword-that same platform is also what makes them tough to recommend. I've spent a month with the Diesel On Axial; the Michael Kors Lexington 2; and the Emporio Armani Connected Smartwatch 3 (and four months with Fossil's own Carlyle HR). Join me for a MrMobile roundup review!

I don’t understand why Mr Mobile doesn’t get more recognition. His reviews are based around real world use explains to us the pros and cons of not only using an item but also owning an item. I’ve been put off buying headphones before because they use micro USB connections something that isn’t often highlighted by the bigger tech KZfaqrs. That isn’t to knock other tech KZfaqrs, it’s simply to appreciate the work, time and genuine salesmanship that Mr. Mobile’s reviews are known for. Fave tech youtuber by a country mile. 🙌🏼

Asbjørn Rindom Christensen I may understated his recognition, it was more so that the videos don’t attract as many views as ‘flashier’ videos. I find these use videos as the best examples of “what tech is like to live with”. Certainly would agree that his recommendations are essentially a quality deal. ☺️

I guess that's the kind of matured crowd he attracts, no fuss, no marketing bs about the product, just an honest review in a real world scenario. And he manages to do it without making his personal opinions seem excessive like other techtubers. I love this guy's style

You could probably argue that being open source Android needs tech companies to make the most of it's offering and watch makers aren't exactly renowned for their software dev teams. The other problem is the lack of capable CPU, the 3100 didn't exactly deliver to expectations.

Considering they acquired Fitbit barely more than a month ago, I'm guessing if they drop Wear it'll be a little further down the road than 2020 - assuming nothing comes of the recent Justice Department scrutiny, that is. I know it comes with some health data attached, but you have to imagine part of the value of the $2.1 billion they shelled out was for all the knowledge and patents Fitbit has accumulated both from their own R&D & from their many wearable acquisitions.

My wife had the worst experience with MK. Screen became unresponsive two months after purchase. She had to send it in for repair. It took 4 MONTHS for it to get there, repaired and sent back. Exposed it to water and the back of the watch came off and it got ruined. After lots of back and forth they offered a replacement. She managed to get her money back from BestBuy instead and got a Galaxy Watch. Also, WearOS is absolute thrash.

When it arrived it was exactly like before! After another month waiting they offered to replace mine with a new one of my liking, except for a Gen. 5 one! After four months I am still waiting for a watch to arrive :( Shame on you Fossil!

It's more like a watch that just happens to track my steps, sleep and shows notifications. I thought I would want a watch that does more like NFC payments, WiFi, smart assistants, music playback, GPS... The best two things about it that I love above all else would be the battery life(3 weeks on a single charge), and the price($40!). It's enough, for me, at least.

Sure, non-Samsung phones need additional Samsung apps loaded when you pair the watch but it works near perfect. I am currently wearing both to decide which one I'm going to use day to day...the battery life alone on the Active 2 is a big, big plus. The Gen 5 gets about a day but it has the plus of charging fast.

People around work and friends complimented it lal the time. However, the WEAR OS is terrible. It lagged, functions stopped working, etc. Also, mine broke after 2 months (the charging ring popped out like you mentioned). However, they do have great customer service and provided me with a gift card with the original cost of the watch. I will try once again with the new model. I have been faithful to Armani for over a decade so I will give it one more go.

I got it due to the bump in ram over the original ticwatch pro and it's soooo much better. The only issue I have with it that I didn't have with my gear S3 is taking calls on the watch. It doesn't always work. Most of the time it just hands it over to the phone. Other than that it runs butter smooth and the battery lasts me 3 1/2 days.

Mr. Fisher, i too am a smart watch user. I have an Asus Zenwatch 2 WI501Q model, it may be a 3 years old watch & uses Qualcomm MSM8926 Snapdragon 400 chip. Have been using this watch from early 2016 to current. Hasn't disappoint me at all. It has mic & speaker, Wi-Fi connectivity, tough Gorilla Glass 3; so many time my watch on my wrist hit walls, door handles, the glass survives having no scratch on it. It may not have a heart rate sensor (which i don't bother not having), it has an app; ZenWatch Manager, where the watch can be a camera view-finder. arrange my YT music/video playlist on my phone, cast it to my chromecast, used my watch to change the music/video playlist. The chipset maybe old & cannot compete with the current 3100, but as long as this watch still in working order I will still use it. I am in the market of purchasing new smartwatch, i would like to see a re-review from you on Asus smartwatches. I know those watches are no longer in the market, but i would like to see a YT influencer re-review it.

Of course I'm sure further time developing a better hardware platform for WearOS would help too but it's still a matter of the hardware being a sluggish and the software being too buggy at times. Basically, Qualcomm needs to get off their ass and Google needs to allocate some people from the Pixel crew or wherever to make WearOS better as well.

After seeing this + having a Moto 360 Gen2 prior...... I might as well return my Fossil Gen 5 I just ordered yesterday. I had hope that Wear OS gotten a teeny weeny better....

Google should allow smartphone makers to use their own UI on top of wearOS. That would make them compelling and competitive.

I bought the 3rd Gen Q Explorist because the looks were absolutely beautiful, but after a week, I was so annoyed because the middle crown was soooo sensitive. I end up finding a work around but it did not always work so I still end up triggering some on the watch, plus it was slow. So I sold it. I did not have the same experience with the moto 360 that was a wonderful device outside of the crack backcase issue.

Surprisingly the original Moto 360 with Android Wear 1.5 runs a lot smoother than what Wear OS is today. It was better back then in my opinion. Shameless plug but, my Fossil sport will be arriving next week. And I'll be doing a comparison between it and my Moto 360 on my channel.

Had a fossil sport. Have a Galaxy Watch Frontier now. It's paired to my LG V30. I'm pretty satisfied. Traded a rotating crown for a rotating bezel and some better functionality.

The Fossil sport is now down to $99 on amazon. Skagen recently discounted the falster 2 down to $69. My gen4 explorist is down to $120 now, and the $500+ Casio WSD-F20 is down to $155. At those prices the WearOS flaws I think become more tolerable. So it seems like all the WearOS watch prices are dropping. The new fossil garrett models and the latest Casio WSD-F30 are down to $220. Since the new SD3100 is the same thing as the SD2100, with a dumb-watch "battery power mode" thrown in... all these watches are really the same thing. RAM being the most significant internal difference. I've been on Android wear / WearOS now since 2014. The one thing I ABSOLUTELY love about this platform is Google does not force-obsolete the old devices over time. I still get updates for my old moto 360, and even though the battery only lasts 6-7 hours, and the snapdragon 400 is painfully slow for anything beyond basic notifications... at least its still going. I still like the way it looks so I wear it around the house. The moto360 in 46mm is still a larger screen than anything else in 2020. I mean the actual pixel array from edge to edge spans a larger functional area.

I have both a 46mm Galaxy Watch ($269) and a Fossil Gen5 Carlyle ($169). I use my smartwatch to listen to music and audio books on the bluetooth Galaxy Buds headphones while I practice hitting balls on the golf range. This is extremely useful and convenient because I no longer have to put up with the annoying heavy smartphone swinging around inside the pocket of my shorts during my golf swings. Anyone else here use their smartwatch instead of smartphone for music while doing outdoor activities?

I got the Juliana HR Gen 5 for 220$ this holidays. It is my first smart watch and I love it. I use a 007 N64 style watch face I've got loaded with relative data, I have to sync about once every few days, but other than that it runs fine and smooth. Sure it took a hour to setup the FIRST AND ONLY TIME so I dont find this an issue. I enjoy sitting down to experience a new gadget so thats me. The Juliana HR is fucking sexy bold and looks perfect with the 007 watch face, I did not hesitate.

I think the falster 3 has 1G of RAM so it should run smoother than the 512G devices. You have to read into the spec sheets though. AFIAK most of the latest devices have 1G ram. There may be some exceptions though.

So.... I still have a 2015 Huawei watch (the first one). It still gets Wear updates and from what I see in this video, it actually runs the software better (no weird bugs) and smoother (no lag when scrolling) than these 2019 watches do..... it still has 2-day battery life (which seems about the same as these new watches) and.... it has the thinnest bezels from any smartwatch I have seen so far. How can these new ones have a thick black band around the display when the screen of my nearly 5 year old watch truly goes edge to edge? It seems they have gotten worse instead of better...... I still think the Huawei watch looks better, too. It's design truly was ahead of it's time it seems....
