    I had a fossil before I bought my Samsung, and it was a god awful mess. Barely functional, slow and honestly kind of ugly.

    Still, a shame to lose more competitors.

      Same, I had the Carlisle and it was a worthless piece of trash. It was painfully slow, and it would vibrate with a notification, but then there wouldn’t be any notification to be found. I eventually just stopped wearing it and figured I’d wait for the Pixel Watch to be released, but even then, knowing how horrible Google’s first attempts at hardware usually goes, I still waited an extra year for the Pixel Watch 2. So far I’ve been happy with it, and I’ll never buy another Fossil watch again.

      I’ve had 4 Fossil watches over the past 30 years and they’ve all turned out to be garbage. Beautiful garbage.

        Surprisingly the pixel fold seems to have been well built for the most part, most issues I’ve heard stemming from it are either known category-wide issues (Like the crease, soft screens) or software issues which can be easily updated away. In my personal experience with it, it’s the best “Googles first hardware gen” lmfao
