I've only had my watch (Fossil Carlyle) a couple of days, but so far it has been more frustrating than anything else. The screen timeout is the worst offender by far. How am I supposed to even get familiar with what this can do when I'm only allowed to look at the screen for a stupidly short amount of time? After some research I've found I can change that, but only with a 3rd party paid app. Another basic feature that seems to be missing is text messages. Again, 3rd party paid app.

Newest update still takes several factory resets to get it to connect. It works well once you get it to connect. Factory reset my phone and now I can't connect to my watch. Attempting a "disconnect and reset" again on the watch to connect again. Annoyingly, this seems to be the only way to reconnect the watch. Getting notifications and being able to reply is nice, but sometimes it doesn't actually send the reply. Also, if I have it set up to make/receive calls on the watch, my phone won't connect to my car.

Hi Marc. These steps should help: https://goo.gl/glwiQ5 including restarting and resetting your watch. If these steps don't work, please get in touch with the manufacturer directly (if outside the US) or here: https://goo.gl/uaUiIq. Thanks for reaching out.

Overall, it's a pretty user friendly app. I just wish I could add my photo for the watch face through Google Photos not just Facebook and Instagram. I also wish there were more customizable options for the watch face. I haven't quite figured out how to talk on the phone from my watch, either, but I haven't put a ton of time into it. Overall I feel it's a decent smartwatch for the average user.
