Ratings and reviews

This is a great watch, and this update is an improvement overall; the changes seem to be well thought out. On the watch, it is now easy to access the apps that are not on the screen, and the countdown timer is much more flexible and easy to use. On the smartphone however, it's harder to find certain functions like the alarms, and the row of boxes all seeming to yell at you to BUY SOMETHING!! or DO SOMETHING!! are increasingly annoying.

Now setting the time on my watch requires logging in. What a joke. Won't be buying skagen/fossil again. Original review: Not only did they remove the functionality of the subdial, now the app won't let me change the function of the bottom button. The other two are changed as before, but the third space is blank and can't be tapped. Not to mention requiring access to location to sync when it is already tethered to my phone via bluetooth.

New app seems to be 2 steps forward and 2 steps back. The good is that it's pretty easy to follow and connectivity seems better. The bad is that I found it harder to customise the watch back to the way I had it and, more importantly for me, the new control layout for audio is less useful. It's closer to Garmin watches, for those who know them, in that you don't have a single screen with skip forward/back/pause. Still do love the watch though.
