Rubbish app
Horrible updates
Batteries wear out so quickly
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.

Fossil Q Legacy App Does Not Work With Apple Health
Q E 0239 : I tried connecting and it’s not connecting at all

Let’s think about the user not the developer.
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.
