Thought I'd share this. Purchased one literally on Tuesday on Amazon AU for $339.99.
Mobvoi AU website showing $279.99.
Compared to my Fossil Gen 5:
This watch has lasted me 4 days.
Tuesday 1PM off charger and now on charge Saturday 10AM, with 10% to spare.
Very lightweight compared to the Fossil Gen 5.
Very fast and responsive touch screen. Literally no lag, though my FG5 never lagged much. It's like almost going from 60Hz to 144Hz screen.
Screen is brighter in the sun (whatever sun Melbourne has had over the last few days).
The dual screen is a god send for me, as I require to know the time every few minutes with my job for notations.
Vibration isn't as good a the FG5.
Doesnt feel as good as the metal build of a Fossil, but definitely looks the part.
Still no Wear OS 3.
It is loaded up with Mobvoi's fitness software, with some sneaky request to upload your personal fitness data to their server. Just be wary of that.

How are these compared to Garmin? I am interested in buying the Garmin instinct Solar if they price is right. I nearly pulled the trigger for the Garmin instinct 1 without solar for $199 at JB Hi-Fi with the $200 perks, but couldn’t get over the point not having the newer version with Solar. I hope there are coming great deals on prime day!
