    Well, until the back of the watch became unglued after like 6 weeks because shimmying a piece of gooey effectively double sided jello with some adhesive properties and calling it “lgtm” was a… poor choice.

    Doing it for 3 (?) generations, when they admitted it was a problem during the first, was atrocious.

    But yeah other than that, I liked my Fossil whatever gen 3. Oh well.

        I have a hybrid HR (not in use atm), it is not an issue on that device. Their wearos watches for a few years had this small flat ‘o-ring’ that held the damn charging receiver, and when your body heats up as it does from physical exertion, or just from a high ambient temp (I’m from AZ, USA) the gooey flat ring loses its adhesion and slides free, which means the charger receiver falls off, which means your watch is now a paperweight. First time they exchased it, second I got a refund.
