I used to love the Fossil Gen 5 Carlyle. Note that this review refers to the full-featured Gen 5, not the Fossil Gen 5e. I still do, but its place as the king of Google Wear OS smartwatches has been dethroned quite significantly. It was back in early 2020 when I received the Fossil Gen …
Mobvoi Ticwatch Pro 3 vs Fossil Sport Smartwatch The Fossil Sport smartwatch is an excellent smartwatch but it is truly outgunned by the Ticwatch Pro 3. Except in value. The Fossil Sport offers fantastic value that just can’t be beaten. I think the Fossil Sport is a lightweight, capable and comfortable smartwatch that really mimics …
The first ever smartwatch that I reviewed professionally is the Fossil Sport Smartwatch. It’s a fantastic smartwatch but just has one big problem. Luckily, I think it still has its niche, especially because its price is so friendly as is its very compact watch case. No other smartwatch out there reminds me of the good …
Before the Ticwatch Pro 3 GPS came out, I told everyone who asked that the Fossil Gen 5 is the best smartwatch to get if you wanted a Google Wear OS smartwatch. However, things have advanced and when the Ticwatch Pro 3 came out, it completely moved the Fossil smartwatch out of its throne. So, …
Apple Watch Series 5 vs Fossil Gen 5 Carlyle I really like the Fossil Gen 5 Carlyle smartwatch because it’s a very good smartwatch. Even iOS users stand to benefit from the fantastic suite of apps available to the Fossil Gen 5 Carlyle, despite having to sacrifice some conveniences such as the ability to reply …
Fossil is going all in on smartwatches. They continue to release new models. They’re one of the few traditional watch companies staking a serious claim in the smartwatch market. Here’s our Fossil Gen 5 Carlyle review. Features: Excellent performance for a Wear OS watch Speaker, microphone for calls Two-day battery life with all functions Integrated …
Phew! No longer do we need to wear inappropriate looking “fitness” or “space-age” watches all the time. It’s Fossil to the rescue with a large and growing fleet of nicely designed smartwatches. Unless you’re an outright Apple geek who buys everything Apple pumps out, you probably didn’t get too excited about smartwatches when they first …
As much as I like Samsung Gear S3 Classic, ZenWatch 3, and even my TAG Heuer smartwatches, sometimes I want a totally different design for a particular occasion. This is where my Fossil Q Founder 2.0 comes in. I own several Fossil watch straps which I can easily swap out on the Founder further customizing …
If you’re not into keeping track of your altitude as you hike up a mountain and don’t spend much time in the woods, you can actually buy a smartwatch that looks good. Don’t get me wrong; the sporty watches have their purpose. Here’s a brief overview of the Fossil Q Wander: It’s funny how …
OK, this is not a fair comparison. We’re talking the most premium Samsung smartwatch versus the most entry-level of Fossil’s smartwatches. But comparing the Fossil Sport Smartwatch with the Samsung Galaxy Watch3 really proves the economics theory of diminishing returns.

The Galaxy Watch3 came out at a time when the Fossil Gen 5 Carlyle just got a new update which patches the gaps in features which Google’s Wear OS has. The Gen 5 is a great watch. I have always had the greatest respect for it. It’s innovative, fast and still is my favourite Wear …
When smartwatches originally appeared on the market, they seemed redundant. Why would you need another device that does only some of the things your smartphone does? We carry our phones everywhere these days, so why do you need a smartwatch? Given the clock on your cell phone, why do you need a watch at all? …
One can’t go wrong with the Ticwatch S2. It’s probably one of the best entry-level smartwatches out there. But neither can you go wrong with the Fossil Gen 5 Carlyle. It’s probably the best Wear OS smartwatch out there. The question is whether it’s worth spending the extra money to get the features of the …
When I first looked at the Ticwatch C2, it reminded me of my time wearing the Fossil Sport Smartwatch. The Fossil Sport Smartwatch is the little sibling to the Fossil Gen 5 Carlyle. The Fossil Gen 5 Carlyle is a full-fledged smartwatch with premium features that are not available on both the Ticwatch C2 and …
The Fossil Sport Smartwatch and the Ticwatch C2 are the closest competitors among all the smartwatches I’ve reviewed. While the Fossil Sport Smartwatch is branded as a “sports” watch, besides having a silicone strap as compared to the leather strap of the TIcwatch C2, there really isn’t anything that makes it so much sports-oriented than …
I remembered when I first got my hands on the Fossil Sport Smartwatch. It was one of the first few smartwatches that I reviewed and it impressed me. Time has given me a better overview of what people want in a smartwatch and I am really happy to be writing this review. The Ticwatch S2 …
The Fossil Gen 5 Carlyle is my favourite Wear OS smartwatch. It provides the best Wear OS experience you can have because the Carlyle’s hardware is one of the best in the market. The Ticwatch E2 is a bit less dazzling than the Carlyle but it offers a great experience for its price. I would …
I love these comparisons. Two equally spec’d watches that would attract the same type of consumer. At the same time, writing this review almost feels like I’m finding a needle in a haystack. The Ticwatch E2 and Fossil Sport Smartwatch are extremely similar, running the same OS, have very similar hardware and have a very …
It’s always quite a show when two top-tier watches go head to head. The Garmin Fenix 6 is the culmination of all the best parts of Garmin’s smartwatch line and the Fossil Gen 5 Carlyle is the latest and most amazing line of Google Wear OS watches. The Garmin Fenix 6 is a feature-rich watch …
Is there even a point to comparing the Garmin Fenix 6 against a watch that costs about a tenth of its price? If you are in the market for an entry-level smartwatch, the Fossil Sport Smartwatch will seem like a fantastic option. Indeed, it’s an excellent watch that provides great value. It even beats the …
