    I loved the design of their watches, they looked like a watch first and foremost, but their speed and battery life was atrocious and I owned 3 generations of them before switching to Apple.

      Exactly why I never pulled the trigger on them. They always looked so nice, but they just couldn’t get the tech to match. I’m not going to wear a watch that doesn’t even make it through a workday.

      That’s the story of Fossil: great looking watches, that are subpar quality. I’ve owned 4 Fossil watches over the past 30+ years and I’ve regretted each one. The last was the Carlisle smartwatch, and that will be my last a Fossil.
