Description

The Fossil Q Venture Gen 4 is a stylish smartwatch with a digital touchscreen. The smartwatch uses the Wear OS operating system, which gives you the possibility to download various apps and watch faces. Connect the watch to your smartphone with Bluetooth so you can receive notifications of messages, emails, and incoming calls. Thanks to the integrated activity tracker, you can also record your daily activity and set personal goals, such as 10,000 steps per day.

It's a nice smartwatch, but battery life could last longer

wears nice
Well readable
Nice to use
Battery life is much short, 1 day or even shorter

I doubted for a long time whether I wanted to buy a smartwatch. Read a lot of reviews and was convinced I would buy a Garmin. My husband came up with Fossil, so I studied this too and gave it a go. I was a bit skeptical, considering the battery life is so short. Yet yielded. Coolblue delivered my watch on time, as agreed. So big thumbs up. Watch looks nice, gray strap does look plastic to me, but it fits great. Also adjusted a black strap and it looks nicer. I just need to figure out how to switch it. Sufficient app options, Whatsapp messages and emails are easy to read, notifications are clearly audible. Watch charging is fast. I find battery life short. I don't have that many apps up, deliberately just to be able to use as much as possible. A few days I managed 1 day and that was enough. But once I started at 08:00 and in the afternoon during the walk of 6 kilometers the battery stopped. I was terribly disappointed because I couldn't charge it. So last piece was not measured. Normally the battery lasts until the evening before I go to bed. I don't know what it was about. The battery was 100% charged. So I think that's a big minus. Listening to music without a mobile, I have yet to try it out. Other than that, I'm happy with my watch. It's my first smartwatch and I haven't tried everything yet. Who knows... I might discover other possibilities.

Nice for the enthusiast but too pricey as a "must have"

design
many features as standard
battery life

Beautiful watch with nice and well-functioning functionalities.

For myself as a smartwatch, it seemed especially nice to have tried, but not a must to own. I attach little value to receiving phone messages via my mobile and mainly use the fitness area. For this a cheaper and simpler pedometer is sufficient for me.

As a critical user, I experience the limited (1 day) battery life as disturbing. The watch itself is very good in appearance and weight!

Nice design, but not recommended due to the functionality

Design and possibilities to adjust this
High operating convenience; intuitive
Battery runs out very quickly

I have tested this watch extensively and am not really satisfied with it. The watch certainly has advantages. So the design is very beautiful. The clock is stylish. It can be worn with various outfits and does not look like a standard smartwatch or sports watch. The options to change the appearance of the dial as well as the option to change the straps means that I don't think you will get tired of the watch quickly. After all, with some minor adjustments and a small investment, you have a whole new watch. The watch has a high ease of use. Intuitive operation is certainly the case. You have the option to swipe across the screen, but also with the buttons on the side to navigate in the menu and the apps that can be loaded on it. These are certainly plus points of the watch. I think the biggest downside is that the watch is empty within a day with normal use, i.e. not with sports. So you should always charge it in the evening. Because I forget this, this almost always happened to me as soon as I slept. As a result, the watch cannot be used as an alarm clock. This is unfortunate. The smartwatch functions; I used to pair the watch with my phone. It was already known that calling with the watch is not possible. You will receive a notification as soon as you receive a call and you can answer the call. Messages, sms, whatsapp also come in. As well as other notifications such as incoming emails and notifications from various apps. For example, the arrival of whatsapp messages sometimes took up to 5 minutes. For example, the timer also took up to at least 10 seconds before it comes through on the watch. I expected more from this, because it is a new product. Sending messages over the phone works fine. The health functions; the watch has a pedometer. This one deviates slightly downwards, so it counts fewer steps. That in itself is not bad for the movement. There is also little difference in activities such as typing, which sometimes affect other devices. The heart rate reading also appears to be accurate. Furthermore, the watch offers the possibility to choose from various activities in order to track them through the watch. This is for the most part linked to google fit. This is quite a funny program, but limited compared to programs like Runkeeper, Strava, etc. In addition, installing Google fit on my phone is preferable. This app has been developed in such a way that it "knows" when you are cycling or walking. The activities are then automatically tracked. With the watch you have to constantly remember to turn it on and off. Tracking sleep habits is not supported. Installing various apps is possible. However, I find it less pleasant to work than on the phone/other smart devices. The watch is just not quite suitable for operating while sweating or when it is wet, for example from swimming. All in all, it does not meet the requirements I set for a smartwatch. Too slow in processing the notifications and messages and no possibility to call. Even as a sports watch/activity tracker, the watch is not quite right. The fact that sleep cannot be tracked and the choice for Google fit are not. I would invest in another device.
