I have both the Fossil and Citizen models. My Citizen is the older version that doesn't have the O2 sensor. Annoyingly it also uses a different charger. Personality I really like these watches. I like that they don't look like a big screen on my wrist. I like that the battery life is the better part of a month (I'm guessing I get 3 weeks) vs a day or a few days. The functionality is limited vs an apple watch but I think it's worth it for not having to charge daily and having an always on screen. Still, if you want an apple watch type functionality, this isn't it.
One warning, like many smart watches these are large. They are both thick and with the SS bracelet on the heavy side.
anyone who want a hybrid watch has got some sort of smart watch instead.
years ago i would spend a thousand dollar on a citizen for multi information display, but i end up with garmins epix and never looked back.

A smart watch is like an EV: it's hot when it's new. The Apple Watch was released in April 2015, which means it will be 10 years old in just three more months. Therefore, the smart watch is no longer the new trend. Fossil brand watches may be counting down the days before the company potentially declares bankruptcy.
These look like fossil watches, which were discontinued

Description says it will NOT come with a warranty. But for $100 it's not bad. It's also 30 m water resistance which is normal for these types of watches.
They did a Kodak and were too slow to adapt in innovations in their products. Now when someone wants a hybrid they rather go full digital and get a simulated hour/minute hand.

Does the watch include smart features like notifications and fitness tracking?
Yes. These have heart rate and blood O2 sensors.

I can't tell from the comments but is this watch any good?
I like the two I have. If I lost both I would buy again. It's a great watch for someone who would like a traditional looking watch but also wants fitness tracking and things like text message notifications (and limited ability to read them) and a the watch to vibrate when your phone is ringing. I like that because I keep my phone on silent ring most of the time. I don't always notice when it rings in my pocket.
My biggest issues with the watch is I'm not really a big watch person and this is on the large size for my taste. It's also heavy if you get the full SS case+bracelet version. My Fossil version has the rubber strap and isn't that heavy.
