Fossil Q Venture

Fossil Q Venture Review

If there is, one thing mentioned by all professional sports users is the fact that the Fossil Q Venture uses the latest Android Wear 2.0 and has a sleek design. This makes it a worthy entry into fitness wearables. However, how worthy is it really? Let us look deeper and see what the experts have to say.

Pros / What Customers Like:

• One thing that most users found great about this smartwatch is the compact design and lightweight. They could not feel they had a watch on their arm while working out.
• All sports users found the IP67 water protection a bonus, as they do not need to remove the watch when taking a shower. This was also a bonus for an avid boater.
• The same boater mentioned he like the OLED display and easy to read in direct sunlight.
• Another feature most athletes found great is the pre-installed Google Fit Workout and Google Fit app. With these apps, you can keep track of your reps and steps.
• Most users found the battery life okay depending on what you use it for and last up to 8-hours of use.

Cons / What Customers Don't Like:

• A big negative most athlete found disturbing is the fact that the crown does and you need to scroll through the lists on the touchscreen.
• Another bummer for most professional trainers is the fact that it does not have GPS, NFC and heart rate monitoring. You can use your phone, but will need it with you all the time.

Verdict:

If you need a stylish smartwatch, the Fossil Q Venture has your name written on it. However, if you’re in need of a detailed fitness tracker, this one lacks fitness features. Not only does it lack proper fitness tracking you cannot connect it via NFC. The great thing is, it strikes a balance between performance, comfort, sizing, and the price.
