Even with its bulky design, the Q Founder is one of the best looking Android Wear watches so far. It's just a shame that you have to look down and see that horrible Moto 360-esque black bar cutting into one of its super-stylish watch faces. Other than that, this is an Android Wear watch like any other. The software still needs work and the battery life just isn't good enough. For less money you could go for the LG Watch Urbane, or the Huawei Watch for a little extra, and get a similar experience. Hopefully this won't be the last we see of the Fossil Android Wear watches because, for a first attempt, it gets a lot of things right.

The Fossil Q Founder looks nice from a distance, but it's not the best Android Wear watch -- and, there are better options for prospective smartwatch buyers.

It looks damn smart worn with the right clothes, and is a world apart from toy-like smartwatches such as the early LG G Watch and the Pebble. It’s a watch, and it looks like one. It goes with everything, tells the time, and then also helps out with notifications, step count, and navigation. Anyone who complains that smartwatches don’t look or function like mechanical watches should take a long look at the Fossil Q Founder and shut up.
