        Works using GC. Ends up as $125.4 after Swap gift cards through shopback and using code PLUSAY12. Not a bad deal at all!

            @heist82:

            1. Buy Swap gift cards from Shopback @ 5% cashback
            2. Swap the gift cards for eBay gift cards (you'll see the instructions when you click on "View Gift Card". You should receive the ebay gift cards almost instantly
            3. Add to Cart on eBay and go to Checkout
            4. Enter the gift card codes in the coupon section, right at the bottom. You will be able to add multiple GCs.
            5. Enter the promo code PLUSAY12
            6. Enjoy the watch ☺️

            Can confirm that this worked for me.

      I don't think they'll fly off the shelves no.

      Fossil pricing these at $500 is pretty funny.. don't think this is going to compete with Apple Watch somehow

        The competition is Samsung, not Apple.

        • Merlict on 18/02/2021 - 16:18

      1-2 days roughly, depends on how many features are enabled (1 if leave always on screen setting on, more like 2.5 if you enable extended battery saver mode)

    Reviews are pretty bad for this model.

    user reviews(copy pasted from fossil website)
    1 star
    Liked the smart watch but was expecting more from the previous generation e.g fossil didn't fix the charging ring issue where it'll popped out for me it was exactly 2 months after ive gotten it.

    1 star
    I got this watch in Dec 19. It is complete garbage. Battery is useless, doesn't track sleep without downloading a sleep app on phone, as a fitness tracker it is terrible.

    • Gehirn on 18/02/2021 - 15:33

      Reviews are pretty bad for this model.
      user reviews(copy pasted from fossil website)

      You seem to be fixating on the 1-star reviews.

      Having a look at the product page, there are 46 5-star reviews, 22 4-star reviews, 4 3-star reviews, 5 2-star reviews, and 12 1-star reviews.

      For balance, here are some other reviews:
      5-star

      This has everything I need from a smart watch - mainly activity tracking (inc heart rate monitor). Google Pay works well, even when combined with my iPhone (I was nervous about this prior to purchasing). The battery life is reasonable, but if you have a large amount of alerts/notifications on your phone you will want to filter them so that your wrist isn't buzzing all the time and the battery lasts a whole day.
      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

      5-star

      Great product. Battery lasts about 2 days. Totally customizable, from straps to faces. And, of course, has simplified life in regards to accessibility! Love it!

      4-star

      I love the design. Initially I had hard time finding the wellness app which is required for sleep tracking. I guess it got automatically installed with the upgrades. Battery life is decent. I'm giving 4 stars as the water resistant level is not enough for swimming.

      5-star

      I've been using it everyday, for the weather, my excersizing, schedules and even used it to pay at IKEA the other day! Highly recommended. I'm using it together with a Google Pixel 3A

      The reviews for the metal-strap version are even better, with an average of 4.2 stars.

    • axcairns on 18/02/2021 - 23:26

      That second review is bs with regards to sleep tracking. I got this watch yesterday and my sleep data showed up this morning in google fit no problem.

      Battery life still deciding but it looks like it will last at least a day

  • SJ50 on 18/02/2021 - 15:31

    • scrimshaw on 18/02/2021 - 15:35

      You don't (well, cannot) actually use AfterPay for this deal. The exploit involves using gift cards as a payment method while using the Afterpay coupon code.

      • chaute on 18/02/2021 - 16:06

        How does this work? Do you have to put the full $150 on as a gift card then enter the code? It doesn't let us enter the code beforehand unless they've realised the glitch and fixed it

          You might have to ask Jace88 or agefreak for the process. I only know one way and that was to have a gift card balance attached to your ebay account. There might be be a workaround that doesn't involve having a partially spent gift card

    geesus the process of buying giftcard on shopback (app only) and swapping it to ebay gc, are so annoying!
    cant they make it easier…
    also, the cashbacks are still in pending (from buying giftcard) is this normal ?

  • bargaino on 18/02/2021 - 19:40

    Am not impressed with this phone. Not much improvement since the last time I tried Wear OS.

    Setup took multiple attempts for no obvious reason.
    Voice calls not working over wifi - seems to need bluetooth, so cannot wander far from the phone.
    Trying to change watch face is very painful, as you need to go deep down into a menu to browse, then it crashes back to the home screen.
    So buggy and annoying. I'll be sending mine back.

    anyone else got this working?

    • CyberMurning on 18/02/2021 - 19:41

      what… wish you posted way earlier dude… just clicking buy button 5 mins ago

      • bargaino on 18/02/2021 - 19:54

        It is subjective. But Wear OS just feels so clunky compared to Apple or Samsung.
        Why can't Google polish it a bit, the way they have Android?
        Samsung used to be Android Wear, but they gave up waiting for Google, and did their own software.

        That said, it does do the basics: fitness, notifications, and tell the time. And for $120, I should not complain. If you want WearOS, this is the watch to try.
        Not Fossils's fault, but Google's. I was hoping it had improved.

        Am only sending it back because I think I still prefer my old Samsung. If I had no other smart-watch, it would do.

        • jace88 on 18/02/2021 - 21:05

          I'm just buying this for fun to play with since I recently got a new Android phone… but I've owned two Apple Watches already and whilst the design isn't anything exciting now, I do admit the day to day usability of it has been pretty seamless.

      It's not meant to work over wifi. What made you assume it would?

      • bargaino on 18/02/2021 - 20:19

        What makes you assume I assumed? I tested it and found it lacking

        It is a very useful feature on the Apple watch. You can leave the phone at the desk, and still receive calls around the home or office, as long as there is wifi.

        It would just need software to make it work on the Fossil, no? Surely Apple is not the only one.

        • CyberMurning on 18/02/2021 - 20:49

          Hmm? Because you did. I was specifically talking about voice calls over wifi. It is not meant to work over wifi on any Android Wear watch - you just assumed it did.

          It would just need software to make it work on the Fossil, no?

          Sure, it's purely a software feature as it uses your telco's wifi calling feature.

          Surely Apple is not the only one.

          Samsung watches can do it too. I've never tried it though, as my phone is always within Bluetooth range.

            @eug:

            uses your telco's wifi calling feature.

            Nope, it uses wifi to the phone, and LTE from there. (My telco has no vo-wifi or volte.)
            Does have to be on the same LAN though.

            Samsung watches can do it too

            Good to know, thanks. I have the older model without speaker though.

              OK, looks like Apple's support page is incorrect then. 🤷‍♂️

                @eug: Nope again.
                That is a quite separate feature.

                It sounds like you are going out of your way to pick an argument. Surely you could see if you try that they are two different methods of a watch connecting to the phone network?

                But again, nice to know about, thanks! I'll have to check if that works in Australia.

                  Hmm? No, I genuinely thought their support page was incorrect. It wouldn't be the first time a support page is out of date or incorrect.

                    @eug: Ok, sorry.
                    Yes, the Apple support pages are variable in quality.

                    Have you had your phone set to a supported language (UK/US english)? It makes a huge difference.
                    I'm finding GA on watch buggy compared to on the phone, but Bixby and Siri have problems too.

      Your experience is different from mine. Can't comment on the Voice over wifi as I can't use it but I had no troubles setting up or changing watchfaces

      • bargaino on 19/02/2021 - 10:43

        Thanks. I did figure out the easier way to change watch faces. Was going via "setup" before.

        To clarify not "Voice over wifi" in the technical mobile phone sense, but wifi between phone and watch.

    • Droz on 19/02/2021 - 09:56

      Trying to change watch face is very painful, as you need to go deep down into a menu to browse, then it crashes back to the home screen.
      I haven't had any crashes, but you have two options:

      1. Hold the watch face from the unlocked watch. Then choose your face from the favourites, or, dig deeper as you say in the menu
      2. Use the WearOS app on your phone to do the same. Easy and fast.

      Which part is it crashing on?

      Setup took multiple attempts for no obvious reason.
      Didn't experience that, but I hate that you can't skip the tutorial

      The only bugs I've found are the ones to do with Google Assistant, which are incredibly frustrating - doesn't initiate calls or messages from voice due to a permissions bug, and I can't use Google Assistant on my watch to control my "smart" things around the house. Just brings up a web search instead.

      Otherwise, I'm pretty happy with it as an upgrade to the Vapor 2, which was $99 and an experiment.

      This watch is streets ahead with everything (except OS level bugs, apparently)

    Omg sold out… were 182 available,

    • axcairns on 18/02/2021 - 23:39

      I missed out when this same deal was posted a few weeks back but clicked on 'notify me when back in stock'. Got the notification and purchased before I saw it posted on OzB
