App says server on maintenance

### 1/5 — Keine Verbindung möglich

*2022-08-02*

App meldet, dass Bluetooth beim Handy nicht eingeschaltet ist (obwohl dies nicht so ist). Daher keine Verbindung zum Fitnesstracker möglich. Sehr schwach!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2022-05-06, version 1.17.2*

App doesn’t sync with watch anymore. Hey fossil update the app to work with q watch. I’m sure I’ll get generic response and nothing will ever be accomplished by fossil

### 2/5 — Problems with a

*2021-06-24, version 1.17.2*

Watch stopped and I put in fresh battery but there was no response and watch did not vibrate.  Tried a second new battery and still no response. Help!

### 1/5 — Fatal

*2020-12-17*

Compre el reloj y de momento enlazo a la semana dejo de funcionar,  lo lleve q revisión y dijeron q El reloj está en perfectas condiciones, ya no enlaza es una porquería!!! Dinero a la basura

### 1/5 — Where is this so-called new Fossil Q??

*2020-09-18, version 1.17.2*

Attempted to pair with my Fossil Hybrid Smartphone App and it keeps telling me it can only pair with the “new” Fossil Q app. WHERE IS THIS NEW APP???

### 2/5 — Not working

*2020-07-05, version 1.17.2*

I’ve had the Motion Q tracker since June, 2017. It’s worked great until July 1, 2020. It’s connected, it flashes all the colours but it will not post steps or sleep. I see your last update was four months ago.  I think it’s time that it was done again as I can’t get this to work at all☹️

### 3/5 — Почему нет русского языка в приложении? Не все же англичане с рождения

*2020-04-26*

Очень непонятное приложение из за языка

### 1/5 — help

*2019-12-26, version 1.0.2*

i have a Q Dreamer and my app says it can’t record my sleeping. very confused why, since i bought it specifically for that. please help. thank you!

### 3/5 — Watch is okay so far

*2019-11-28, version 1.0.2*

I received this as a gift back in 2017 and now just recently set it up. It tracks sleep and steps fine. The only thing I really want from the watch is being able to have three features (like activity along with skip song plus go back to previous song.) I feel like if more customization was added, the watch would feel better. Right now it feels like everything is preset and I’m not digging it.

### 2/5 — Cambie pila

*2019-10-28*

Al cambio de batería ya ni pude enlazar con el celular

### 2/5 — Need app update

*2019-09-04*

This app doesn’t feel like the latest tech. It needs to get updated regularly as it is having some complications and whatsapp and third party apps notifications for the assigned contact should be added as soon as possible.

### 1/5 — N

*2019-08-29, version 1.0.2*

If I could give this app zero stars I would, I couldn’t even sign up cause it said my connection was bad and when I tried to login it wouldn’t let me saying that I had the wrong password, so when I went to reset it it said I would get an email with my password I did this 3 time and still no email, y’all are real fake for that. If your gonna make an app make it accessible to all and actually usable.

### 1/5 — Please update the app...

*2019-07-22, version 1.0.2*

It’s old, notifications won’t work unless the app stays open and I need to re-pair my reveler all the time to get it to work.

Why would I buy a new Fossil product when the one I have has lost support so quickly?

### 1/5 — Not able too even sign up

*2019-06-21, version 1.0.2*

Have been doing everything I can think of to try and sign up however it still says I have a weak or no connection I would enjoy if I could get some clarification since 1 hour searching support did not do anything

### 1/5 — nothing works

*2025-01-07, version 1.17.2*

dont get fossil smart watches its a waste of money

### 1/5 — Phone is not functional due to crash of app

*2024-12-04*

App is not working since long time . Hence we can’t connect it time zones of different countries and watch shows absolutely different default time . Waste of money as we can’t set the time manually. Please provide ASAP solutions in Customer Service @Fossil.

### 1/5 — Worst app

*2024-11-30*

Always on maintenance mode

### 1/5 — Is this app still active?

*2024-11-22, version 1.17.2*

Is this app still active? It’s continuously showing connection error and won’t let me log in or sign up? Do we still use this for Fossil Q or the newer app?

### 1/5 — System Fehler

*2024-10-07*

Seit Tagen steht beim öffnen der App System Fehler Wartung warum dauert es solange ?

### 1/5 — :/

*2024-08-29*

No sirve la app

### 1/5 — Una app que en continuo mantenimiento

*2024-08-13*

Una app en mantenimiento desde la caída de Constantinopla, no puedes ni registrarte en ella. Ahora lamento comprar un Smartwatch Fossil

### 1/5 — Geht nicht mit Q Grant

*2023-12-13*

Man kann die Uhr zwar auswählen, aber schon der nächste Schritt offenbart, dass hier absolut ohne Verstand gebastelt wurde. 

Man soll die Uhr  auf die Ladestation legen. Hallo Fossil! Ihr wisst schon, dass die Q Grand nie eine Ladefunktion besaß, sondern halbjährlich dafür ja die Batterie getauscht wird? Dafür habt ihr den Schnellverschluss an der Uhr angebracht. 
Fazit: Fossil Uhren kann man nicht lang nutzen. Die Apps ändern sich häufig und sind keinesfalls Abwärtskompatibel:-(

### 1/5 — Parou de notificar WhatsApp e ligações telefônicas.

*2023-10-31*

App foi abandonado… muito tempo sem atualização, porém meu Fossil Q continua novo em folha e merecia funcionar em sua totalidade.
Relógio acende e vibra somente quando testado nas configurações. Em uso não notifica nada.

### 1/5 — Terrible!

*2023-10-28, version 1.17.2*

I loved my watch when I first purchased it.  Then it began to lose twenty minutes.  I could never get it synced.  I finally got a newer fossil watch but it also was hard to sync.  I decided to try again and bought another new battery today.  It won’t go to the correct time . The hands don’t move with the arrows.  My contacts won’t come up to pair with notifications: only other apps are available to pair.  I’m really sorry I tried and will not buy another fossil hybrid!

### 5/5 — Good app

*2021-08-04, version 1.17.2*

If you have the watch it is easy to set up and really helpful with helpful tracking

### 5/5 — Wow awsome

*2021-01-04, version 1.17.2*

Awsome watch looks stylish looks modern everything in a watch you look for at an affordable price got mine some time ago I can stay connected 24/7 only thing I would recommend is it’s quite a heavy watch and the buttons dig into my skin but I’ve had it on for so long I’m used to it will definitely upgrade to the new gen soon

### 5/5 — Fossil Q Grant 1st Gen

*2019-12-27, version 1.0.2*

Why I can’t connect my fossil Q grant watch to the new app. But it only connect to the old app fossil Q legacy only .

### 5/5 — Love my Fossil Q

*2019-06-26, version 1.0.2*

I have no issues with it. I love that it tracks my steps and sleeping habits. Specially love that I’m notified when I get a texts or calls from my loved ones that I set up on the app. I have my phone on silent at work, so it works awesome for me. I fell naked if I forget to put it on when I’m in a hurry. Wish it did a little more, but very happy with it. I bought 3 of them. One for myself and my kids. My batteries are free for life. I just take it in and they change them out no charge, so I don’t know why someone is saying they have to 20 dollars for them and they last for months on end 🤷‍♀️

### 5/5 — App Fossil Q

*2018-08-07*

Una app ir deberíamos tener todos en nuestro marts, imprescindible para un control de nuestro ejercicio día a día, gracias a todos por mejorar nuestra calidad de vida.

### 5/5 — Does what it says it does.

*2017-12-30, version 1.0.2*

Other review is completely unfair and not based on the apps functionality. 

The app pairs with my motion device easily and synchronises efficiently. The UI is very intuitive and simple to use. It’s great.

### 5/5 — Einwandfrei

*2017-10-20*

Aufgrund der vorherigen  Rezensionen hätte ich mir die Fossil Q Grant (1. Generation) fast gar nicht gekauft aber ich muss sagen:

Alles funktioniert einwandfrei!

Ich habe mir die Hybrid-Uhr kürzlich gebraucht bei ebay Kleinanzeigen gekauft und nutze die App über mein IPhone SE. Ich habe keinerlei Probleme und alles läuft. Somit kann ich nur sagen - alles TOP! 👍🏼

### 5/5 — Works great

*2017-10-13, version 1.0.0*

Doesn't have very many features but it works fine. Not sure what all the fuss is.

### 4/5 — Misfit

*2024-05-11*

Can I use misfit shine with this app?

### 4/5 — Q

*2018-10-02, version 1.0.2*

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
