Fossil Gen 4 Smartwatch Venture HR 40mm - Rose Gold-Tone Stainless Steel with Glitz

Love this stylish smartphone!
Love the mix of sophistication and tech for this smartphone. Notifications are easy to read and I was really pleased with how much text you can see from emails and longer messages. The face changes are fab too. Loving the dog one. It’s cute the way it walks across the screen. Remote answering function for the phone has come in really handy when you can’t get to your phone straight away. The find my phone is good too and this works even if the phone is on silent.

Stylish, Better than expected!!
I received this watch a few weeks ago, first impressions was I really like the design. This is very similar to the design of my Michael Kors Darcy watches so I really liked the stylish look. I personally love the chunkier watch face and the buttons on the side. The watch strap was surprisingly light feeling however I think this is because the face is heavier. The strap is roomy and you can adjust it to fit your wrist. Charging the watch is super easy and no issues here. The features on the watch are good, I linked my bank card to my watch and a little image of the card appears on the watch and you can use the NFC function of the watch to tap and pay. Perfect if you forget your purse/card. I do a lot of walking so the activity tracker and step count is good. I was using my phone as a step counter however unless you have it on you all the while you don't realise how many steps your are missing. The watch face option is great and there are loads to pick from. There is security like your phone and you choose a pattern to "unlock" the watch. I always thought a smart watch wouldn't be something that I would use but now I have it I'm going to struggle to go back to my normal watches!

Great First Smartwatch
I received this watch a few weeks ago and was really excited to try my first smartwatch! It was so easy to set up, and I loved the easy charging port. The screen is clear and the watch it pretty easy to navigate around, I liked that i could change the face display to something more my type. This was a great first smartwatch to have, it was pretty basic but did most things that I expected of it. Would recommend this to my friends if they wanted a smartwatch that they could wear out in the evenings without it looking to bulky.

Love this stylish easy to use watch!
I received this watch about 3 days ago and have barely taken it off! I was first worried about setting it up, but the easy to follow on screen instructions made it SO easy! I downloaded the app to my Samsung phone and was up and running within minutes. I really wanted to use the activity apps which is why I've wanted a smart watch and they don't fail, I easily created a home screen counter for my steps and it would let me know when I haven't moved for a while which is great. I have only used it once for exercising as I don't like the metal bracelet for working out. The design is beautiful, a lot more blingy than what I would of gone for but I love how different it is and being able to change the faces for whatever occasion is great. The magnetic charger is great and easy to use, I have found however that I am needing to charge the watch every night so I would prefer a longer battery life that's one of the reasons for keeping me from giving a 5* review. Overall I'm really happy the with ease of use and set up. I like the design it's very pretty. There are a few teething niggles like the battery life and the amount of notifications, I found it hard to get set up with the notifications and to stop it buzzing every 5mins. 4 stars for sure as I am so happy with the product. Would definitely recommend.

Unbelievably useful as a Mum - great smartwatch
I received this watch about 4 weeks ago and have been using it everyday since. Its been brilliant. I suddenly reply to messages a lot earlier as the notifications come through on my watch - brilliant as a Mum with the the microphone to reply to messages with. Here's a more detailed review though: Look and feel: so I really like the look of it, at first I was a bit unsure as the diamante design didn't cover all the strap, however it wasn't clear from the front when it was on my wrist and actually would have been too much bling I think if it had covered it all. I loved being able to change the clock screen from basic to more detailed watch heads with step count and heart rate on it. It encouraged me to be active and healthy to beat the previous days step count. It terms of feel, initially I found it a little uncomfortable as the heart rate monitor sticks out and digs in a bit. However I will add I no longer really notice this. Features: so there are so many features of this watch and as a Mum I may not have had enough time to play about them all. I really enjoyed changing the watch face - made me feel like I had several different watches in one haha. I loved being able to receive messages on my watch and reply to them. I used the microphone as the keypad was so tiny it would be easier to find my phone and type on there. The microphone was brilliant though. You are also able to answer phone calls with your watch, but you had to have the phone call on your phone (good I think, otherwise why have a phone) I also really loved google fit, I go to the gym and it would detect exercises on there though not always accurately but you could record manually. I will admit it gets fiddly though and good old pen and paper can be better. It detects runs and bike rides with gps also which for me was lovely as I wouldn't have to take my phone -unless I wanted to for safety. I haven't tried swimming with it yet but hope to soon. It will let you download some apps you have on your phone on your watch as well, its just learning which Set up/Build: I found it really easy to set up, it was really easy and foolproof. Usability: I find this watch really user friendly you need less than an hour to play about with it and discover which way to swipe for notifications, clock heads, settings etc. The middle button gives access to all apps on the phone. Hope this is helpful - I'm sure there's more features and bits I've not discovered yet.

Looks the part!
I received this watch a few weeks and it was easy to set up. Fully charged within two hours and a good I'm screen guide to get you started, talking you through the set up.guide and your options. Looks: Having multiple different face designs to choose from is a nice touch to any outfit. The rose gold band and sparkles finishes the watch off beautifully. Battery life: I was using this from 6.30am and it was low by 9pm and required charging with minimal usage during my working day. Pro's: Face options Displays messages, notifications, calls Looks beautiful Quick flick of the wrist and it wakes up Alarm options Step counter Con's: Unable to review workouts once completed. Battery life is not amazing if you're going to use the digital display/notifications a lot during the day. As a watch this is amazing, looks beautiful, comfortable to wear - the notifications is a nice touch but if you're wanting it for an active lifestyle (monitoring your workouts/running/HR etc) this may not be the watch for you unless you're happy to not review your workout at a later time. I have worn this most days and got many compliments!

Gorgeous watch with great features
I am a fan of watches that count steps, activity and give notification....the Q Venture does all of this and much much more and looking stunning and fabulous at the same time! I love this watch - my favourite things are how pretty it, the amount of features is great such as checking weather, keeping up to date with all notifications whether it be text, emails, news alerts and much more, using Google Pay etc. The fun thing about this watch is the ability to swap watch faces so whatever info I am looking for can be shown on my watch such as steps, time zones, battery life, the date and lots more. The only issue is the battery life which is usually running low by the end of the day however the charge time is amazing and back up to full power within a couple of hours! Overall I think the watch is a smart looking smart watch and I would recommend this watch anyone!!

A smart watch with style
When I unboxed this watch I was impressed with how lovely it looked, displayed and packaged well, I was excited to start using it. Personal style meant I was a little bit put off by the crystals in the watch, I don't think it needs it, however other people would really like the diamante element! They do sparkle in the light, its just a bit over the top for me. In terms of the build of the watch, its pretty light and doesn't necessarily feel as sturdy as it looks, however this isn't a negative thing, its light on the wrist and you can tell its robust. Its really comfortable to wear. I've got quite a small wrist so the face does look pretty big on my wrist, but again not a deal breaker, I like the look of it. I absolutely love the fact that you can download new watch faces and switch out the face to suit your preferred look. Initial set up of the watch is pretty straight forward, connecting to Wifi and using the linked app is all easy. The buttons and interface are easy to use, its taken me a bit of getting used to but that's because I'm more used to IOS. It has all of the things you need, a fitness app to keep you moving, contacts in your phone, reminders, maps etc. You also have the voice command function which is great. You can see who's calling you, where you can accept or decline calls, but need your phone nearby. There's lots of great features packed in, you can check the weather, your location is tracked (if you want it to be) so it updates according to where you are. You can set an alarm, reminders, use a torch (the word torch shouldn't be taken literally, it lights up the screen with white light, but it still helps in a dark room!). I like the focus on fitness, as someone who is pretty health conscious, the watch gives you an insight into your activity through the day. You can access the Google play store and download more features that suit your preferences, there's a really wide range available. It takes a bit of time to get used to navigating round the watch, which button does what and how to navigate the menu, but after a couple of days you soon start to pick it up. It charges up relatively quickly and battery lasts a full day of wear. I haven't really put the watch through its full paces yet to see if things like heavy map usage drains the battery quicker, but overall I've been pretty impressed so far with its battery life. Overall, this is a great and relatively simple watch which you can very much make your own. It looks great and has some awesome features and applications. The software is responsive and agile, although someone that's not used to this operating system (like myself) may take some time to get used to it. The build is good, its pretty lightweight, it could feel a little better quality and I think the usage of diamantes isn't the best call for a smartwatch, however this is all personal preference and other people may love this aesthetic feature! This is my first smartwatch and I must say, I'm a convert thanks to this watch. I would definitely recommend.

Glamorous Smart Watch!
This is an elegant alternative to a smart watch with some great features. It is easy to use and I love how you can customise it with different backgrounds (my personal favourite is the dog!) Personally, I found the watch slightly bulky and heavy on a smaller wrist like my own, but the watch itself works perfectly. It’s easy to navigate and fun to use! I particularly enjoy using the step monitor and having a look at my heart rate, a feature I didn’t expect to see in the product. The watch is a lovely colour with a clear, easy to use screen. It is a glamorous option for a smartwatch.
