  • The Skagen Falster 3 is an intoxicating blend of Danish minimalism and a splash of well-placed excess. Like the Falster 2 before it, it's the most fetching Wear OS smartwatch of its generation - and when you toss in Fossil's custom battery-saving and voice call mods, it may well be the best Wear OS watch of 2020 so far. But how many updates does Wear OS need until the Falster 3 can be considered a legitimately great smartwatch at $295? Let's see how much of that question we can answer in the Skagen Falster 3 Review!

    BTW the “g” in “Skagen” has a “y” sound. Danish is weird that way: “Skay-en”
    And the “er” at the end of “Falster” is more like a posh UK accent, an unaccented “schwa”: “Fell-stuh”
    Try Google translates text to speech feature and selecting Danish as the source language as it’s pretty accurate.

      @MrMobile [Michael Fisher] It's an interesting marketing name. Skagen is at the northernmost tip of Denmark. Falster is at the opposite southeastern end.
      It's kind of like Hollister as a brand. They market it as a line of beachwear but Hollister is a dusty cow town 28 miles inland from the coast.

    Nice review Michael. My Fossil Gen4 notifications were out of commission for 2~3 weeks. One day they just up and quit. No amount of rebooting, cache clearing, notification toggle off/on/off/on could fix it. So I put the watch on the charger, and left it there. Came back to it yesterday and it was fine once again. Not sure what happened... but notifications are fine once again. I did get an app update 3-4 days ago, so that might have fixed it. Shrug... thats just the way WearOS is, when it works its great.

I am an iPhone user (iPhone SE 2020), and I’d like to know if I could control and change my music played on a Bluetooth speaker, with the help of the watch. And overall, if my phone and the clock would be completely compatible on all of the functions. Thanks for your help!

    I picked up the Falster 2 last month for $99 Canadian. At that price, it was a great replacement for my 1st gen Moto 360. Sure, it doesn't have a speaker, but neither did the 360, so I don't miss it. Even if it would be handy at times. I'd never pay retail for one though. But at under a hundred bucks? Sign me up! Hopefully it gives me a good 4 years like the Moto did.

    Vdos sounds sad without "The Ballard of MrMobile". Waiting for the music to hear again. Just love the tune.
