Fossil Q Venture

High-resolution display ; Lightweight case ; Looks elegant ; Interchangeable watch straps ; Smooth interface

Limited iOS capabilities ; No NFC ; Battery only lasts a day

The Fossil Q Venture is a great compact women’s smartwatch for an affordable price. While we don’t particularly enjoy the rose-gold bedazzled option, we think the more subtle color variants look flattering on the wrist.

Nicely constructed ; Great display and responsiveness ; Solid battery life

No GPS, NFC or heart rate monitor ; Squeaky strap links ; Fixed bezel and crown

The Fossil Q Venture is a sharp-looking, comfortable smartwatch with a great display and responsive processor, but fitness fans will miss GPS connectivity, while a heart rate monitor is becoming a necessity.
