$50 is all this watch is worth, even new. Bad battery. Sluggish performance.
Uh i own one, battery lasts 2 days and you can tweak what you want on like gps, heart rate, etc to make it longer if you need to. It can be a little slow but has everything you need. Also has NFC built in. Zero complains from me. I paid $80. Only real difference between this and gen 5 is this has half the ram.
Easily worth $50.
1. Most important.... First couple days battery stinks. Many updates etc going on it the background. After a week it really settles into a routine.
2. After the H update to wear OS the watch performance isn't to bad at all. The odd stutter sure.
3. I easily get 24hrs with 25-40% left. That's plenty of notification, AOD, Bluetooth, Heart rate, etc etc. If I need Wifi, NFC, GPS I turn it on as needed.
4. GPS for workouts will kill battery but I often use it for 30-45 min bike rides.
I enjoy mine great extension to my phone and would pay the $69.00 I paid. I would pay up to $100 for this watch.

I believe this is gen 4. I have this in smokey blue from prior deal... It's worth it/a good deal if you need a new watch. FYI there are tons of colors available and some other refurbished smart watches some for as low as $39

Yeah, I've read that the battery isn't good even with the newest, more efficient SD 3100 processor (same as on the Gen 5's), and it's laggy with only half a gig of RAM (the Gen 5's have 1GB). Still, seems like a really good deal for $50, considering there's not a lot of other options like it on that price range.

Bought this new on an SD a few months back, returned in less than a week. Battery life is a joke, who wants to charge their f ing watch several times day? Complete garbage like other fossil watches, which to me all have a Walmart cheapness to them as well that I don't want on my wrist. I would pass at any price, as fossil is not quality by any means.

How are you getting 2 days of battery? I bought it brand new and it barely lasted one day. I do not recommend.

A few ways
any watch will have terrible battery if you don't manage your notifications. If you get constant messages and vibrations, battery will die. Clean that up first
second, there is a custom battery mode, select what you want enabled and disable the rest. I disabled heart beat, always on display, and GPS. Got me 2+ days
