One of my previous watches was a Skagen Falster 3. I sold it and went to the Galaxy 4 40mm and I really missed my old watch. Knowing that Fossil has improved the processor in the Falster gen 6 and noticing Amazon had a sale I purchased this watch. It is fabulous and I have read so many negative reviews I was shocked. Many people do not know how to adjust a wear watch when first setting it up. Wear / fossil should give better directions. Do this. 1. let the watch load and update its software. 2. go to the playstore app on the watch and scroll down to settings and shutoff auto updates. The watch will let you know when an update is available and you can choose when to download it instead of letting it auto download updates. 3. use a good battery saving watch face like the pixel minimal by Benoit Letondor. Glad I’m back to Fossil’s Skagen Falster 6. Super fast, no pausing. Best watch to date. I’m selling my Galaxy 4 which had less battery life and took too long to charge. This Skagen watch is the fastest charging smartwatch!UPDATE: Thought I would share more tips: I have read so many people complaining about battery life. Then I read they have their watch face set to always on! AOD will drain your battery, if you must see your watch face on then use the tilt to wake feature and shut AOD off. A flip of your wrist each time will turn on your screen. Personally, I use touch to wake. Another battery saving mode is to make sure the OK google voice is off. Better to activate OK Google assistant by holding the middle power button. Lastly use the extended mode , set the bluetooth schedule on during the day with your wifi on and bluetooth off at night and wifi left on. The builtin wellness app will give you your sleep data and the watch will only use 10% battery all night.

Love the minimalistic style of the watch, only dislike is I wish battery would last at least three days but I’ll settle for two.
