7LIWA - Douwi Douwi

Is it worth buying in 2025? I am a first time buyer and I want a analogue watch with basic notifications (calls, messages). Do let me know if there are alternatives as well. Thank you very much for taking your time to respond.

I just picked this up second hand. Was in between the Collider HR and Gen 6 Hybrid Wellness which has deep discounts on the fossil website right now. I chose the Collider Thanks to this awesome review! I like the look better, don't need Alexa and got a really sweet deal on a second hand version.

Great review, what about the vibration strength, Is it strong enough to wake up heavy sleepers?

I've been interested in this hybrid smartwatch for a couple of years now and I was hoping they would make future models adding NFC payments and GPS, but with Gen 6 they seem to be stopping making them...On their website they sold the old ones with heavy discounts and in some markets their website doesn't even have the Hybrid section anymore. I'm afraid Gen 6 is the last they'll make. Since I prefer this Collider model's design and I don't care about Alexa, I'd choose this over the Gen 6 though. Hard to find it for cheap if not used.
Very good review, keep it up!

Is the glass itself on this brown model tinted brown? Because from the official renders, that's what it looks like: a tinted glass that makes everything below it (e-ink screen included) appear brown. But in real life photos/videos this doesn't seem the case, and it actually looks very similar to the black version, with clear glass. Now you mentioned that the clock hands are a cream colour, but are they that way beneath the glass, or is the glass brown, giving them that colour?
Either way very nice review!

Cool video. Buy a microphone. Hard to hear you.

I bought the gen 6 hybrid. I love it but it fails in it's attempt to keep us away from our phone if you can't respond to the texts.

It's has a mic so we can talk to Alexa, so I don't see how it would be of any trouble to do a software update and have it respond to texts.

Which one is better this one or the fossil gen 6 hybrid

Very cool. Im impressed the battery makes is almost decent. If you want a smart watch this is the one to get nowadays.

Thank you for the info.
Guess Santa forgot something.
Happy holidays!
