Same. I've had a fossil hybrid HR for several years and am pretty happy with it.

From what I read, you can do some more automation if it connects with an android watch, but I use iOS so I only get the out of box functionality -- which includes customizable display with information like heart rate, steps, and weather. Notifications with vibration and readable text. And probably my favorite thing, physical hands so it looks like a "normal" watch.

My fossil hybrid HR was a beautiful watch, and the display was great. But the software, ugh! In 3 years of use, they never managed to get as high as a 30% success rate on fetching weather info. It was almost always displaying "connection error" or something like that. It's just the weather! Why was THAT the sticking point that they couldn't figure out?
