Fossil Q Legacy User Reviews

Top reviews

Rubbish app

I still can’t use the sleep tracking even though I just set it up

Horrible updates

Same problem as everyone. My app and watch don’t work . I’ve done everything fossil has suggested to do to fix problems and nothing works. I really want my money back and maybe get a iwTch

Batteries wear out so quickly

Few weeks, then $20 for new batteries. :( when it dies again I will probably switch brands of counter, because this isn’t maintainable.
Update: in the Chicago suburbs
1. I sometimes bicycle 10 miles a day, but the fossil q doesn’t acknowledge it, just tells me I haven’t reached my step goal. Pretty discouraging!
2. I recently tried another brand (rechargeable) and have discovered the fossil was only registering 1/3-1/2 of my steps. I no longer am using the Fossil Q. It was a nice introduction to wearable step counters but I need better feedback for my exercising efforts.

Q

While I love the style and color of my q motion I wish that it was a bit more accurate. I shouldn’t have steps recorded in the morning if I haven’t gotten out of bed and a better account of calories

Response from developer

Thank you for submitting your review. We are sorry to hear of the issues you are experiencing. Please be advised, the calories on the device are calculated by calories related to your physical activities like walking, running, swimming, etc. and the basal metabolic rate (BMR) of energy needed just to keep your body alive. Even if you have not performed a lot of activity in a day, you will still burn calories related to your BMR, which can be a surprisingly large number - more than 1,500 calories for many users. Your devices calorie estimate is based on the most updated medical research on energy expenditure. If you show your activity is lower or higher than normal, please send us screenshots of the data you are seeing at q@fossil.com so we can look further into this for you.

Fossil Q Legacy App Does Not Work With Apple Health

Legacy App is easy to use. Wish that it was compatible with Apple Health app, like the Fossil App (non-legacy) is. Any plans to add this feature?

Q E 0239 : I tried connecting and it’s not connecting at all

Do help.

Won’t update firmware.

Let’s think about the user not the developer.

I bought Fossil Q54 in late 2016 or early 2017. I have experienced the same problems as everyone else here. ( dropped connection and trouble reconnecting being the most common) I can handle the lost connection issue, or rather my watch has trained me to live with it. It eventually catches up and gives me my steps.

The updates however!! Why does finding an update immediately cause the watch to lose connection and stop tracking steps. Is it possible for the tracker to continue to track steps if an update is available? Being able to postpone the updates would help. I recently went on a 3 day camping trip. Updates hit the first morning out. So no steps recorded all weekend. Finally on Sunday when I got back to WiFi, there was an update waiting when it finally reconnected.
I am the consumer here. The ultimate goal of your company should be to to sell watches not keep the developer happy.

I love fossil.

I absolutely love my fossil watch the one thing I can’t stand the fact that I cannot get it to sync properly with the app my steps don’t show up if I can give it about a little one star I would my life I’ve had to send my watch back several times to get fixed and it still not working properly and it’s not the watch part it’s the smart watch part of the tracks my steps. I will never buy another smart watch again
