Web ID: 5124951Q Venture Review
Aesthetically speaking I love the Fossil Q Venture watch, I’ve had a lot of people compliment me on the watch and ask about it, which is always a good sign, I feel. It might just be due to having had some links removed from the strap of the watch but the face does seem to be rather heavy on the wrist, but that could just be me. I love the design of the watch, it’s definitely something that would attract me if I were shopping for a smartwatch, my only aesthetic criticism would be that the strap and links tend to scratch fairly easily, other than that aesthetically it’s perfect. In terms of the every day functioning of the watch I do find that I use the functions more at the weekend, when I can actively look at any notifications I receive and don’t mind keeping the Wear OS App open and my Bluetooth on in order to do this. Otherwise I mostly use the watch offline for the time and for the Health elements of step tracking and exercise management. It would be better if the watch could function without having to have the App open and just connect to a wi-fi connection to function. The watch requires a lot of charging, I’ve found that I have to charge it every night in order for it to retain its battery and that’s without actually using a lot of its functions every day, although that might be due to the watch continually searching for Wi-fi hotspots. I like how simple it is to use the watch in terms of accessing messages and the menu, the watch is very responsive to touch, which is great once you get the hang of which direction to swipe for certain things. I also really like the different face themes that can be used on the watch face as flitting between different options can make the watch look completely different. Overall I am very happy with the watch and think that it will be something that I will enjoy exploring further in terms of what it can offer on a daily basis.

Love it!
Been waring this for few weeks now and and it's shocking how quick you get used to it and can't go without. It's so convenient to have your phone on the wrist. Set up was quite easy and intuitive with tutorials guiding you through it step by step. The look is a bit masculine but it works if want to make an impression. All features work as described on the website. Shame that it's a bit too big to be worn in the gym even though it is water resistant (I'm just too scared to smash it). The thing that I love the most is the notifications from my calendar/ to do list. I'm trying to learn new habits and this watch is definitely helping me to achieve it. I can't upload a photo at this time, not sure is it my phone or the review app is not allowing to upload a file.

Fab!! Great watch that’s packed with features.
I was pleasantly surprised by this watch and how easy it was to set up. Simple instructions to help you, so you get the most out of it. The watch itself looks stunning, very classy and surprisingly isn’t as heavy as it looks, I love the fact that I can change the look of my watch face instantly - there are loads of different watch faces you can access - great for co-ordinating with your outfits. My only criticism with the Q venture and the reason I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 is that it doesn’t seem to work well with iOS - (I think android is the way forward here!) such a shame as it does come packed with features. However, I do love the fact that I can check messages/notifications on my phone through my Q venture without having to keep looking at my phone - this itself saves me so much time per day, and as a busy mum of 3 any time saved is a bonus!

Great apps!
Okay so I bought this watch a month ago, and being an air hostess a watch is a necessity, and this does everything I need it to and more - I love counting my steps and normally so that using my phone but unfortunately can't carry my phone when I'm working up and down the aisle on a plane so having a step counter on the watch is just amazing. Another's useful app on here is the translate which has been a god send, going to different countries I find that alot of people don't speak English, and similarly I don't speak their mother tongue so the watch is useful for the language barrier just speaking into it and then translating it for me, means I've got no angry passengers. I love the watch face designs and variety that comes with it, between having the digital and analogue designs it gives me the option to mix it up, another useful feature is the torch which is handy when the aircraft power hasn't been switched on. The last feature worth a mention is the connecting to the phone and music, being able To change the music from the watch is handy when I'm working behind a bar as it means I've not got to trapse it to my phone to change the song. Only downside to the watch was I had to get it shortened and it is hugggggee!! Not ideal for small wrists unless you get it changed, it's also heavy but that's expected.

Morden & Simple
I got the Q Venture recently and couldn’t believe how easy it is to set up! All you have to do is sync with your phone via an app and you’re ready to use it. I absolutely love that you can customise the watch face and even use images from Instagram and change the colour of the dial and digits! It counts your steps, holds your calendar, notifies you of messages and events and does everything you need in such a small device. I love the design as at first glance it looks like a classic watch strap and face. Very impressed!!

Great features, a bit chunky for a woman
Great watch. The set up was easy and it connects well with my iphone. I have been using it for message alerts and tracking steps. Only down side is that it is a little big and chunky for a small female wrist

not for me
too heavy too big doesn't give the accurate counts for steps i wore it for 2 days and compare with other apps, and the step counts were only half of my phone app had to return
Great for fitness and fashion
This is a really trendy smart watch. The smart watch features are great, the big colour screen is clear and provides a lot more information compared to a fitbit. The notifications (calls, texts,emails and social media) on display means that you don't have to rely on/carry your phone 24/7. You can control music from the watch which is great. The metal strap is really classy and is suitable to wear for all occasions. I would invest in a silicon strap for intense sport This would have got 5 stars however, as a female with a small wrist I do feel that the face of the watch is on the large side.
