@@MarcosCodas sadly as of September 2024 chronafire version no longer works- server side can't log in properly. You can either find your watches address and use Gadget Bridge (a pain in the ass I've only done it once) or still use the official app- its buggy on sync but it still works
@MarcosCodas fair point re: app support for the discontinued line, but aren't Misfit smartwatches around 7 years old? tbh that's probably past the typical lifecycle of most smartwatches considering rechargeable batteries inside are even smaller than in phones (which start to go bad after a few years' use...yes you could repair parts but I think most would find it easier to upgrade at that point)...planned obsolescence in digital products is certainly bad but a line still has to be drawn somewhere imo...discourse over the brand aside, it's indeed a shame Fossil will no longer be making any smartwatches since the eink hybrid line were unique (hopefully some other company picks up the idea maybe with color eink at some point, fingers crossed :)
My xenwatch worked fine after years with the current Wear os app without a problem, Android wear and wear Os worked bye both apps. Some with longer battery should work far and far longer unless youre bad luck. I mean you dont buy youre switch for 2 years of use right? But yeah this sucks, i wouldnt still buy this if they discontinue this.
@@MarcosCodasyeah thats terrible man. I still have a Amazfit X witch works with the standard Zepp app used for all amazfit watches. But i would stay certain Brands or China watches if you go smartwatch. (Samsung/amazfit/Apple/WearOs or the China cheaper watches since they use 1 or 2 universal apps from China)
I’ll never buy a Fossil (or its sub-brands) watch ever again. I have a perfectly good Misfit hybrid that is useless because Fossil decided to kill the line. The app no longer works/exists. You canto even sync to use it to tell the time.
Good Review. Gave me a very good insight and good opinion on the watch. Thank you very much for your service
Hybrid smartwatch is perfect for me
Buy it from another brand. Fossil has terrible software support for hybrids. I was a user until they killed the app (and my watch)
I use the chronafire version works fine with a few bugs.
The watch though has been discontiniued
@@Matanumi Been looking everywhere for the APK but can't find it. Can you point me in the right direction? I still love the watch.

They discontinued the app a year after they sold the watch new from the store.
I’m referring to my hybrid, not this one, btw.

This looks cool
I dont want a hybrid, I want a full on E-ink smart watch with kinetic and solar stuff to charge it up extra
LOL not gonna happen
Not sure how you got searches on eBay that were sub $100...
I can only see them for like 150-250 for older collectables. Not many....

Use the chronafire version
Or downgrade the app.
Don't use with iphone
The app works fine for me its just glitchy
