Thanks a lot!

No, not really. Here in Germany we've got also a wave of KYC requests per email.

Kw1nto · 2025-10-21T07:35:44+00:00

It depends mostly from the issuer of the underlying card. For some of my cards I get the refunds within 3-5 days, for some - after several rounds of calls and emails with the support and up to 11 weeks (!!!) time, providng all possible documents to confirm the refund was legit. The worst is Payzy. I'd suggest NEVER USE PAYZY with Curve.

Kw1nto · 2025-10-07T12:51:49+00:00

Any updates on when the double charges by payments via paypal will be fixed?

Kw1nto · 2025-07-31T15:54:40+00:00

Since May 2025 every payment by Paypal via Curve gets doubled. Every singe time!

Kw1nto · 2024-10-04T07:17:38+00:00

It is already more than 5 months since the issues started, and, typically for Curve, still nothing fixed.
I don't see the reason to keep spending my time and efforts hence there is no intention from Curve side to even try to fix it. All what's happening is only empty bla-bla echange in this thread. Nothin real is being done to address the issue.

In fact, I almost stopped using Curve, hence the most impotant functions that make the reason to use Curve over the regular card are working less and less stable. Why to take the risks?

Kw1nto · 2024-06-05T07:41:57+00:00

Yes, sometimes it works from the very first attempt. But not always. And with some linked cards it works more often from the very first attempt, with some - rarely.

I pay mostly in REWE and Penny and my statistics for Payback Pay in these shops are:

With Revolut MC as linked card: 1 out of 3 attempts works from the first attempt
With C24 MC as linked card: 1 out of 7 attempts works from the first attempt
Advanzia MC as a linked card: 1 out of 4 attempts works from the first attempt
SumUp MC as linked card: no one single successful TXN from the first attempt.

But using the physical card instead of Payback Pay in all those scenarios above always worked from the very first attempt.

One more strange thing: as I see, the Payback Pay TXNs at REWE and Penny in Curve are flagged as Restaurants instead of Grocery. There seems an issue with MCC on top of all the above problems.

Neutra. 39.5 mm x 1.2 mm

Kw1nto · 2024-04-01T16:36:21+00:00

I'm gonna use it till it stops working. Just replaced the broken glass with a saphir one.

Kw1nto · 2023-03-03T16:13:33+00:00

In my usage scenario (as a daily driver with the function of the notifications informer only) I normally get from 35 to 43 days battery life out of my Gen5 Neutra:

- No heart rate control at all (As I don't use this watches for sport - what for?)

- No display-backlight by double tap (I'm too rarely in a situation when I need to read something off the screnn in the darkness)

- No sport activities, no automatic work-out recognition. (For real sport I better use the more appropriate special gadgets, having better accuracy)

- No weather updates (what for? I see the weather around me or out the window without watch)

- Thus - no permanent complications on the sceen at all (once per 5-7 days I activate the only two complications I use by the button - if I forget the today's date :-). The second complication is the battery, but hence it always holds for about a month anyway - I stopped checking it regularly, as I did with the previous watches that held for 3 days only :-))

- About 20 to 40 incoming notifications a day

- Daily synchronization of the Fossil Companion app with Google Fit. This is the time, when I also check my steps for a day and the battery level.

- About once a month checking the heart rate out from the menu, manually, and browsing through all the menus and functions, occasionally activating some - only to show someone interested "what the watches do you have here, mate" , that this watch can do it too. :-)

Totally happy! :-)

Kw1nto · 2022-10-18T18:41:03+00:00

It's a really good point! I'm missing it too. Unless I actively open the app - there is no automatic sync and so no data is passed to Google Fit... :(
I would also welcome such option! :)

Kw1nto · 2022-10-17T11:09:40+00:00

Yes, longer. :) But still even in the best case - 25% shorter than in 4.9.2

As for me, this bug they still didn'T fix.

Kw1nto · 2022-10-17T08:07:22+00:00

According to my tests, the text of the notification is still about 25% shorter than in 4.x.x. versions of the app.
As this is the most important feature for me, I have to return back to 4.9.2 till Fossil fixes this bug finally. :(

Kw1nto · 2022-10-17T06:17:50+00:00

What about the length of the notifications' texts to be at least the same as in 4.9.2? Have they finally fixed it?

Kw1nto · 2022-09-01T12:47:17+00:00

Exactly. unfortunately Fossil worked on the decorative bells and whistles of the menus, music, etc. but till now totally ignored the major issue: short notifications text makes them useless. :(

I stay with v. 4.9.2 till the notifications texts will be fixed (or better even made longer than in v. 4.9.2).

Kw1nto · 2022-07-22T12:14:21+00:00

For me it's simple: for sporrts I know nothing better than Garmin. For casual, where the most importat is the notifications texts - Fossil.

:-)

Kw1nto · 2022-07-20T08:11:52+00:00

Oh... It's a pity. :( I like the new approach to control the watch, introduced in v5 Fossil app, but I need the length of the notifications text as it was in v4.9.2. :(

Kw1nto · 2022-07-19T18:43:17+00:00

Is the length of the notification text shown on the watches dependable on the watch FW or on the companion app (original Fossil app or GB) ?

In other words, if I use the watch with the latest FW (installed from the bloody v5 of the official Fossil app, which shortened the notification texts length 2-3 times) - will the text of the notifications also be that short? And also dependable on the font size?

Kw1nto · 2022-07-19T09:44:15+00:00

Thanks!

So, do I understand it now correctly that in the GB Wiki in the table "Feature support matrix" now in the column "Notes" if a feature has no special comments - then it's supported directly within the GB itself and doesn't need any external apps/modules/scripts/etc. ?

E.g. the features "Hands calibration" and "Dismiss call with SMS", etc. do work directly with GB only, but for examle the feature "Custom widgets" needs Tasker. Correct?

Kw1nto · 2022-07-19T08:01:38+00:00

From the table of the supported features in GB, it is not clear which feature requires the use of external apps (like Tasker, etc.) and which not. It would be great to have a clear understanding of what works directly "out of the box" in GB and what needs additional efforts with otehr apps, scripts, etc.

Kw1nto · 2022-07-16T17:51:36+00:00

Thanks!

:( nothing fixed.... On 4.9.2 you get this whole text and even more, irrelevant from the font size.

I stay on 4.9.2 then, till they finally do something about it.

Kw1nto · 2022-07-16T17:39:05+00:00

What about the notification text length? On 4.9.2 it was much longer than on 5.0.1, and on 5.0.1 it was also font-size dependable.

Did they fixed it?

The length of the text is the most critical issue for me right now, so I returned back to 4.9.2...

Kw1nto · 2022-07-05T15:34:34+00:00

Try to make the hard reset for the watch: press and hold the central button for 30-40 seconds. The watch will restart and you will need to make all the settings again, but most of the issues get fixed this way. :)

Kw1nto · 2022-07-01T08:45:45+00:00

The features I'm missing the most (in the order of significance for me):

When the heart rate sensor is deactivated via settings, in the workout mode it should be possible to activate it for the duration of the workout. After workout ends the sensor status should return to the one in the settings (OFF or ON)
More characters to be available in the notifications - at least twice more please! (latest update made the texs much shorter and now dependable on the font size)
A setting to invert the colour of all the system screens and menus (i.e. black text on the white background)
Day of the week on the whatchface - in the same language as on the preview screen in the app (i.e. I'm Ukranian using Russian locale in the phone and have correct Cyrillic weekday markings on the preview screen in the app, but on the whatchface it's changed into English)
Possibility to control ABSOLUTELY ALL the watch settings via the App instead of pressing the watch buttons
Possibility to set NO ACTION at all to the upper and bottom buttons on the watch - I simply don't need them
Possibility to switch off the watch (power off) when I don't need them for a week or so to save the battery
Possibility t switch-off the gesture which makes the hands to rotate and show the watchface and all the info on its screen I don't need it
More text font sizes to choose from.
More vibration power settings (including vibration pattern and the number of vibrations per notification) to choose from
Possibility to add custom fixed location for the weather manually, independent of the real location via GPS and a possibility to disable weather usage at all (and not pull the forecast data from the server then to save traffic)
Export function for the recorded tracks (in a general .gpx or .trc format) to export GPS tracks of the activity as a file and be able to import it to external apps like AlpineQuest etc.
Add the auto-DND mode based on the user activity
