The Fossil Gen 4 Venture HR Smartwatch reviewer has been compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card and/or received the product. Merry Christmas to ME. I’ve been on a really long journey, and I have a ways to go, but I can finally tell you that I feel like I’m halfway there.

(If anyone wants to suggest fun peppy music for power walks/slow jogs that I do, please feel free to share!!)

I have a lot to learn and play around with, since I’ve only had this watch a week or so. I have been afraid to wear it much because I need to get some of the links removed- it’s too big for my wrist! Not sure I’ve ever had to make anything smaller to fit my wrist before, but I do, and I’m afraid to wear this out of the house for fear of it sliding off and me losing it.
Set up was really easy. Like super easy. Well, for my iPhone pairing. The watch walks you right through the process and it only takes a few minutes. I also synced a calendar I haven’t added kid sports to so it would appear that I have free time coming up before 2019 starts. I do not.
Retailing at $275, this smart watch is a GREAT tech gift for yourself, or for someone you love who’s wanting to focus more on healthy living! Go through ebates before you head to buy the watch and get some cash back on your purchase!
