In addition to the smartwatch, the luxury box contains a warranty booklet and charging cable. A charging block is missing, as is a watch band reducer, which are usually included as standard with the somewhat more expensive watches and smartwatches. The glass of the screen is protected by foil. The smartwatch is well packaged so that it survives the delivery services well.
The Look & Feel / Design
Out of the packaging, the smartwatch has a nice design look. The screen is AMOLED and surrounded by small crystals, which are also incorporated into the band. The strap is made of stainless steel, color rose, as well as the case and it has a folding clasp. There are 3 buttons on the side of the smartwatch, as are also found on regular watches. All 3 have a function that can be set at your own discretion.
The back of the case is black plastic, in which the sensors are located, where 2 lights flicker when it is on.
The first use
Fully charge the smartwatch out of the packaging. As with many equipment today, only after 3x full charging is the operating time fully testable or at its best.
After the smartwatch has been turned on, it is immediately apparent that it is easy to use. Because no manual is included, you have to find out for yourself how it works, but that also has something.
Connectivity / connect to your bluetooth smartphone
Works very easily by swiping down the screen, choose settings, connectivity, bluetooth, on. Also turn on bluetooth on the phone, you get a code fill it in and you are connected.
Connectivity / connecting to your WIFI
Connecting to Wifi is easy. However, there are a number of things you should pay attention to. For example, the smartwatch does not just connect to a WiFi network where Mac filtering is present. Despite the fact that it is a smartphone with a WiFi connection option, there is no max address to be found anywhere on the Smartwatch itself or the box it comes in. This is inconvenient if you want to connect the smartwatch to a WiFi network that has Mac filtering turned on. Only after the network was temporarily opened, the smartwatch had been connected, and the mac address could therefore be read out via the modem, the connection with mac filtering could be switched on. The Fossil Smartwatch only connects to the 2.4Ghz Network.
First check if there are any updates for Android Wear. This is two-part, a kind of driver software, and the app from the playstore.
The latter has of course been updated quickly, the former is a bit more difficult to find for the non-technical among us.
Brief description of the update from Wear 1.2 to Wear2.0
Swipe down the screen, go to settings, system, About, Versions. This is where you check the version of Wear OS. if there is still a version below 2.0, go back 1 screen and click on system updates. The smartwatch will automatically look for the latest update and install it.
Versatility all possibilities
Customizing your watch face is very easy. A number of Fossil dials are included as standard. In addition, the playstore contains a countless number of watch faces as they are called to set up your Fossil Smartwatch according to your own choice.
Besides the time, there is much more to adjust on the screen. This is different for each WatchFace, some are set by default, others can be set according to your own choice. There are a number of options: date, heart rate monitor, pedometer, agenda, music, flashlight, weather, etc etc. Here too, endless possibilities.
You can take a shower with the Fossil QVenture, because of the water resistance of up to 5 Bar. There is a microphone and can be operated via Voice.
The Fossil Q Gen 4 activity and fitness tracker tracks steps, distance, calories burned, and heart rate. In addition, you can simply swim with it, so this SmartWatch is suitable for all types of sports. From running, swimming, cycling, climbing, sleeping, no distance too far and no mountain too high. You can track all these activities without having your smartphone with you, because the SmartWatch also works stand-alone.
WatchFaces
The possibilities are endless, there are many apps in the playstore.
Conclusion
A very nice robust but also certainly design style smartwatch, with many functions, and suitable for every use. From chic party, sports, sleeping, the watch can be worn anytime and anywhere. The only point that must be taken into account when purchasing is that the battery life is somewhat short, 24 hours max, but it is almost fully charged within 1 hour.
The Fossil Q Gen 4 Venture Smartwatch is definitely recommended.

I had been looking for a Smartwatch for some time to keep track of my daily efforts and also to keep track of distances during my walks. The nice thing about the Fossil watch is that it looks like a normal fashion watch unlike many other smartwatches. He does have a lot of possibilities and I'm still exploring them. Linking with Google Fit is simple, heart rate measurement is pleasant and results are clearly displayed. I was one of the lucky few to test the Fossil Q Venture Gen 4 for The Insiders.

What a beautiful design, chic but also trendy. Suitable for all ages. Many options and easy to operate. Less suitable for narrow wrists. An odd number of links had to be removed, so it was not seated properly
