The fossil has a solid reputation for its smartwatches, making it a reliable source for anyone to consider a watch of OS OS. His last entry – Fossil Gen 5 – is the best of the group.
It does not mean that it is perfect because it lacked some finer features that would make it an absolute must, however, when it comes to any general use, it is an attractive proposal for users Android.
It has been a few years since the Fossil Gen 5 came out, but its strong physical design and physical exploitation software allow it to be usable so that you can probably get cheaper this long date after release.
The Fossil Gen 5 can also be cheaper during the Amazon Prime Day 2021, when many wear watches are supposed to go for sale. Consult our opinion to see how this venerable design is considered in 2021.
Fossil Gen 5 price and availability
Price at 299 € / 295 $ / 499 CA $
Many strap options available
Available in several color variants
Available in some different variants, Fossil Gen 5 seems ripe for prices in the future. Our revision unit was the Gen 5 Carlyle HR Fossil with a black silicone strap, but it is also possible to buy a brown leather strap version or a stainless steel strap variant for the same price.
The Gen 5 Carlyle HR fossil is destined for the male market, but there is also Julianna HR which is a little more feminine in appearance.
In any case, it is possible to remove and replace the 22 mm strap with any other similar size strap that you might have slept. Immediately, Fossil Gen 5 is an attractive option for Fashionista Tech fans.
Design
Subtle elegant design
Chunky display
Easy-to-change straps
Fossil Gen 5 blends in what you wear or do enough admirably. Its fully circular display is 44 mm, so it seems very cumbersome on small cuffs, but it means that you can easily see the display at any time with minimal hassle.
The watch we sent had a black silicone strap that we will admit a little cheap and basic to the touch. However, it does work pretty well. For the same price, you can get a stainless steel strap or a leather version – both that we suspected that the average user promotes.
Whatever your option with, at least you can easily exchange straps without any concern about the proprietary connections here.
