I have had this watch for two weeks and I absolutely love it. I did a LOT of research before buying this, and due to a lot of negative reviews, I was quite nervous about making the purchase. If I weren't so firmly entrenched in the Google/Android ecosystem, I would've gone with the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active. But since I use Android, Google pay, Google Play Music, etc., I decided going with Wear OS would be worth it.
Plenty of people complain about the battery life on this thing, but I think it's all about what you plan to use it for. I use this as I believe a smartwatch is intended: to receive and occasionally respond to notifications throughout the day without using a phone, and to track workouts. I am able to track a 60 minute workout every day, play music while working out, and view and respond to about 50 notifications per day. My battery life after 13 hours of this reads 40% and would easily get me through any full day. Worth noting: the Google Keep app was inexplicably draining my battery to 0% within about 5 hours, but I removed the app and now battery life is great.
I love that I can leave my phone at home and still track a workout while listening to music that's downloaded onto the watch via Google Play Music. I use Google Fit to track my workouts and it is very convenient! I use to use a timer on my phone and have to log the workout and weight I was using. Google Fit detects what lift I am doing, and I input the weight, then it starts a timer to tell me when to start my next set.
I also think the watch is beautiful. I am a man with very small wrists (slightly larger than 6 inches). I was afraid to get any smart watch, since I've tried other 41mm watches that look huge on me. The Fossil Sport manages to look sleeker than other 41mm watches, and I am comfortable wearing it daily.
The software isn't always super fast, but again, it does what I expect it to do. Google Assistant is great at understanding voice commands, so it is very easy to send texts with your voice instead of typing.
If you expect a watch that will basically be a phone on your wrist, that you can play with all day long - look elsewhere. But if you want a smartwatch to be an extension of your phone - to help you see quick notifications, have access to Google Assistant, workout tracking, etc., then this will be a fantastic watch for you.

I love this watch!!! I'm coming from. Samsung gear S3, so I expected diminished performance, but there is none. It's light as a feather, it's pretty and small, the screen is brilliant and it's all Google so it's perfectly user friendly. I haven't used it for fitness tracking, so I'll update the review if that is poor, but wow. This watch is solid, as long as you don't mind charging it daily. (It charges super fast)

So far I am liking it. Love the different clock faces that you can put. Very comfortable to wear. The only problem that I am having is getting my text messages to come through the watch. If I can get that to work, I would give it 5 stars. But for now 3 will have to do
Update, June 13, 2019. My phone FINALLY synced with my watch. Now my text messages come through my watch along with other notifications. So my rating went from 3 stars to 5 stars. I LOVE my watch!!!!!!!!

Pros
Wear OS (Loads of apps available from the app store)
Heart rate monitor is almost precise compared to my series 4 iwatch
Loads of workout options available
Swimproof (Haven't tested it yet but managed well in heavy rains)
Good number of watch faces and you can find more on app store
Sleek design
Cons
Processor runs on an old architecture so it tends to be slow at times.
Tilt to wake works 75% of the time
Battery life isn't good. It's at most a one day Smartwatch and 2 day normal watch without any smart features
It's my first smartwatch and I hope it lasts for long time. I wanted to buy the Gear S3 but the device gets water damages pretty easily and the cost of repair itself would be about 10.5k so I chose this one over the latter.
Overall it's a good smart watch with good specs for the price. Will update if anything out of the ordinary comes my way.
