### 4/5 — Great watch

*2026-03-07, version 5.1.15*

My hybrid watch is a practical, stylish, fashionable watch. Its features are great. One possible improvement, can the watch be jigged to recognize “push ups”?  They are a part of my daily health routine, I am 81, and trying to ensure I monitor my health.

### 3/5 — iOS26、時計の通知がこなくなりました

*2025-09-22, version 5.1.15*

すでに販売終了の時計なので難しいかもしれませんが、フォッシルのアプリは最近も更新があったようなので、期待を込めてレビューします。 
iPhone SE3、時計はGEN 6 HYBRIDを使っています。時計アプリ(アラームやタイマー)の通知がこなくなってしまいました。SKAGENアプリ内の通知設定をオンオフしても変わらず、アプリを入れ直すと、そもそも通知管理の画面にも時計アプリが出てこなくなっています。
本当に日々便利に使っているので、改善してもらえたら嬉しいです。

### 1/5 — Insufferable

*2025-09-03, version 5.1.15*

Since fossil acquired Skagen, they tried to suffocate a beautiful, elegant watch company and have neglected to maintain its app. In the last seven years, the app has just deteriorated and became completely unusable.

### 2/5 — Waste of Time, $$. 👎 Hybrid Tech & Support

*2025-07-14, version 5.1.15*

And now they're discontinuing Skagen smart watches, so who knows how long our watches will function before there's no way to for them just to keep time.  Much less have digital features.  

My watch mostly worked for almost a year, despite poor battery life.  Until it stopped keeping time unless it was connected to my phone.

Then my warranty expired while waiting months on customer support to respond via email and grasp a simple problem and put me in the middle of the insurance company & skagen trying to pass the buck to each other.

The fact that it would be faster to send and receive support messages by sending letters through the mail, shows just what a joke their customers' satisfaction is to them once there's a physical problem.

[and they just passed along the problem to the insurance while making no effort to communicate with the insurer directly... and screwing me out of a working watch for years because the warranty expired during the customer fiasco]

When you're waiting days two weeks for responses and the responses don't all come from skagen OR fossil, they virtually ensure that customers will not be able to find & respond the email chain promptly.

 And even the senior support reps often failed to do their own research or respond with sensible answers or comprehend the situation .

There's nothing more fun 🤪than waiting a week or more to correct even just one misunderstanding of multiple.

it's stuff like this that makes people apathetic and just want to give up on the world working , and treat belongings as disposable "fast fashion"

### 1/5 — Skagen false gen 6 degraded after update

*2025-07-05, version 5.1.15*

After the update and removing wear os the watch is very laggy and feels degraded
Thanks for the update skagen team wonderful job never using your products again

### 1/5 — Low functioning

*2025-05-05, version 5.1.15*

Designed to be pretty, not useful. Way too many clicks and too much loading time to get to anything. Doesn’t have dark mode. Doesn’t have the ability to export workouts or any data. Not an app anyone would choose. You’re just captive to it if you like the watch.

### 1/5 — Neues Update

*2025-05-01, version 5.1.15*

Seit dem neuesten Update übertragen sich die Daten nicht mehr mit Apple Health und anderen Apps. Außerdem muss man die App super oft starten, bis die App sich überhaupt mit der Uhr verbindet. Das ist super ärgerlich.

### 1/5 — Keine Datensynchronisation mit Health

*2025-03-29, version 5.1.15*

Nach dem letzten Update erfolgt keine Datensynchronisation mit der Apple Health App. Meine Schritte der Uhr werden nach der Synchronisation mit der Skagen App nicht mehr mit Apple Health synchronisiert, obwohl alle Berechtigungen gesetzt sind. Bitte beheben!

### 5/5 — Still love my Skagen Hybrid Watch

*2025-03-27, version 5.1.15*

Unfortunately they don’t make the hybrid watches anymore, the I’m glad the app still works seamlessly with my watch

### 3/5 — Schöne Uhr, begrenzte Funktionalität

*2025-03-04, version 5.1.11*

Die Uhr ist sehr schön designt und ich habe sie mir vor allem gekauft, weil ich keinen weiteren Bildschirm an mir habe wollte und mich Fitness Tracking Null interessiert. 

Einrichtung der Uhr und Uhrzeitanzeige klappen sehr gut. Jedoch fehlen Notifications für die Apple Messages und andere aktuelle Messenger wie Signal oder Threema. 

Was noch viel schlimmer ist, auch Reminders (Erinnerungen) werden nicht durchgestellt!! Jedenfalls tauchen Sie nicht in meiner App Übersicht auf. 

Hier ist für mich das Minimum nicht erfüllt.
