Description

The Fossil Q Explorist Gen 4 is a stylish smartwatch with a digital touchscreen. The smartwatch uses the Wear OS operating system, which gives you the possibility to download various apps and watch faces. Connect the watch to your smartphone with Bluetooth so you can receive notifications of messages, emails, and incoming calls.

Nice design, but mediocre battery life

  • Waterproof
  • Beautiful design
  • Heart rate sensor
  • Battery

I've had the Fossil Q gen 4 for about a month now and am very pleased with it. The watch looks sleek and works quickly and smoothly. What I really like is that the watch is waterproof and that you don't have to worry if it rains, for example. It is also nice that it now has a heart rate sensor. I think it's a shame that this watch doesn't have a speaker, because the previous generation did. Another drawback is that the battery doesn't last more than a day for me, but the Fossil Q gen 4 is certainly not the only smartwatch on the market that suffers from this. All in all, I think it's a great watch and if you don't mind the battery life of 1 day, it's definitely recommended!

Almost Fossil, waiting for gen5!

  • One of the better designs
  • Size
  • Good speech recognition
  • Speed

Software works well, watch looks good, the possibilities are there (it even has NFC in it!)... But this is not a smartwatch that will meet your requirements. The battery life is too short, and if you charge it, there is a chance that it won't charge anything. Then the charger has become crooked or has come loose when you put the watch down. No success. Wait for the gen5, where hopefully Fossil fixed this.
