I am very happy with my forman hardhat watch thank youv
I have the original hardhat watch and the foreman. Both have been excellent with the original one over 2 years old. Battery life is starting to reduce but the foreman which is around 12 months is still charging to 100% and both watches still look great after every day use on a construction site. Great value for money!
I previously owned a Hard Hat Smartwatch and was absolutely gutted when I lost it. I honestly preferred it over my Apple Watch, especially because the battery life was so much better. It was a great watch, and I would happily recommend it to anyone. I’m hoping to upgrade to the Hard Hat Foreman in the future when I can afford it. Keep up the great work! Show details
I bought the hard hat watch and I can’t fault the watch at all, everything works perfectly well. The watch is made to last the screen is strong, all the settings I have had no problems connecting at all. The screen is well presented nice and large seeing clearly, I found the watch easier than a small watch face. The screen lights up well not… Read more
looking dull. The staff are extremely supportive , if I needed to ask any questions, that’s a winner. 10/10 for me one very happy customer.
Thank you team Trace
Terrible watch. It doesnt link properly with your phone. Steps are inaccurate. Keeps losing time by an hour every couple of days. Customer service is rubbish and they say they will return it, but they make you jump through hoops and once you prove why its faulty and doesn't work, then they ghost you. Don't waste your money.

Brought a replacement band ten days and still haven't received it. Slowest shipping from any company ever. Makes me think everything is shipped from overseas. Australian company selling cheap crap from overseas for a large profit.
Ive had one of these for nearly 2 years now and I love it. Its taken a beating and its still going strong jist a few scratches on the frame. The price is so much better than other smartwatches I dont know why anyone would buy one of those other ones for a thousand bucks. The battery life is awesome on it thats my favourite thing never need to… Read more
charge it. I take calls on it when im working sometimes and my phone isnt with me as well. The features are good even though I dont need to use them all. Reliability is great and customer service is top notch aussie help when you need anything! Highly recommend this
⭐ 1/5 My Hard Hat Big Rig watch became faulty after less than two months. The touchscreen stopped responding properly and it randomly triggered functions. I asked for a refund more than once and provided the photo and video they requested to process that refund. Instead, they switched it to a warranty replacement without my agreement. Nearly a… Read more
month later, the shipping email doesn't even include a valid Australia Post tracking number — it simply says “Outofstock”.
Really poor customer service. I asked for a refund for a faulty watch, complied with everything they asked for, and somehow ended up waiting weeks for a replacement I didn't ask for, with no usable tracking information.
To this date, I have received neither the replacement nor the refund I originally requested.
Watch one broke after one week, went through all the annoying returning and getting a replacement mess, then watch number two won't even charge and turn on! Extremely irate and disappointed, what absolute garbage!
I like this watch at first its okay but after checking for its features I like it so far. Show details
Personally, I do not like it, had a Garmin which finally died 'sad' and thought I would save some $$$ and get this product. Cannot connect to Fit ap, tried everything, tutorials the lot doh! It turns on when you move in bed, the light wakes you up… Read more
at times. You really cannot shower or swim with it on and if you paddle like me, it is a NO NO, it will probably stop working so what is the use of having it.
Follow-up · 1. Apps would not load so could not sync, the Bluetooth on the watch would not work 2. Screen is very bright, so bright wakes you up when you move in bed had to take the watch off 3. Steps what steps app would not download or sync to phone or the watch 4. You get what you pay for, spend the extra money and get a much better made quality watch.… Read more
The service is terrible and the postage description of 2 to 5 days is ridiculous Suddenly 10 days later still nothing Show details

My experience with the hardhat watch was both good and bad. Overall it was bad. I had never owned a smart watch until I was gifted the Hardhat watch with the screen - protectors. Initial thoughts were surprisingly good. The battery life was really good. But that was about it. It lasted 12 months. My watch got wet from the rain inwhich the watch… Read more
started to malfunction. The touch screen stopped working, the screen started flickering, the watch wouldn't charge - among other things. This watch is supposed to be waterproof to 15m apparently (IP68 rating) Apparently the watch is tested in calm water, apparently the seals that keep it water proof deteriorate over time due to just wearing the thing. Do your research. I was very disappointed and reached out to Hardhat watches only to get NO RESPONSE. TBH, I would save my money and put it towards something that works like it states. They say a poor man buys twice. My overall thoughts on this watch are its a useless piece of junk.
100% recommend! This watch is actually really good and it lives up to the hype. I saw the other reviews on this website and thought they must be competitors or written by AI because everyone that I've spoken to rates them and their other watches. 1st thing, battery life: i legit charge mine once every 1-2 weeks and use it quite frequently. 2nd… Read more
is durability: i am not known to take care of my things but I have been genuinely impressed that it hasn't broken after nearly 2 years (talking about their original watch here, but I've also got the Foreman)
3rd is good customer service. If you message the blokes on insta or facey they always get back to you and they are so easy to deal with.
Don't believe everything you read on these websites, just try it yourself and you'll see. They're only around 200 bucks and they have a money back guarantee if you dont like it anyway.
I’ve just purchased the Hardhat tradies Smart watch Now in regretting it . For this reason . After researching where this watch is sent from ,I’ve learned that the company in Chullora is a Drop Shop company from china . It uses Union Lucky in Chullora to sell multiple products .I believe the Gold Coast family in the Facebook advert is false ,… Read more
they have cleverly created a false impression that these watches are the bees knees of tradie watches .Sold by an Australian family company from the Gold Coast But in fact it’s just a cheap Chinese import , Blackwell smart watch sells similar watch for $70 .ive seen similar for $40 on Temu . This is a Scam . DO NOT BUY Hardhat watch , do your homework and research this product , I purchased based on the Facebook advertising , but on reading reviews later found out the 90 day refund is hard to obtain ,many dissatisfied buyers of Hardhat watch’s It’s too late for me and will just bare the cost and write of as lesson learnt . There is an address of the family supposedly involved in this business at 19 Wille Court ormeau Queensland . If this family were upfront why use a Dropship company in Chullora ???? Anyway to finish , I’ve learnt now , to read reviews , research research research before buying anything of the internet .
I don’t usually write reviews this scathing, but after dropping hard-earned money on the Foreman Hard Hat Watch, I feel it’s my civic duty to warn others. This isn't just a "budget" tech issue; this is a total failure of a product masquerading as "rugged" gear. The "Smart" Features are a Joke For a watch marketed at professionals, it fails the… Read more
most basic functional tests:
Health Tracking: The heart rate monitor is a work of fiction. It doesn't track "properly"—it essentially guesses, or more often, just gives up.
Constant Freezing: The interface is incredibly unstable. The watch stops responding so often that I’ve spent more time restarting it than actually using it.
Connectivity Chaos: I don't receive calls half the time. When I do, the sound quality is so low it sounds like I'm listening through a tin can underwater.
Broken Notifications: Messages work when they feel like it, and Facebook notifications are a total roll of the dice.
Bluetooth Ghosting: Even with the setting turned off, the watch randomly hijacks my phone’s audio. It’s infuriating.
The "Support" Experience I use the term "support" very loosely here. When I reached out to report these blatant defects, the response was basically: "The watch doesn't keep up with new technology, so bad luck." Are you kidding me? If the hardware can't support the software it’s sold with, don't sell it. ### The "Discount" Trap Don't be fooled by the price tag. I thought I was getting a deal—a $400 watch reduced to $200. The truth is, that "sale" price never changes because it was never worth $400 to begin with. In fact, it’s not even worth the $200.
The Bottom Line: I essentially paid $200 for a glorified paperweight that sometimes tells me the time and occasionally works. If you want a watch for the job site, buy a Casio and save yourself the headache. This Foreman watch is an overpriced, outdated piece of junk.
Avoid at all costs.
I bought this watch for its long battery life and simple functions. I only wanted it to track my heart rate and input movement data into an app that links with my gym. At first it all worked easily, synced up well. But less than 90 days in and the watch start change screens with a mind of its own. Then the screen went dark and it would not… Read more
charge. Emailed their support and sent photos and they said would send a 2nd watch. I received the second watch and all setup but with a few week the same issue, screen dead and unfunctional. So I followed up Hard Hat, after Facebook messaging and emailing they proposed a 3rd watch, I was done. They did refund in full the purchase prices, but after constantly being told we didn't get your emails and can you send it again, I think others should be aware that I don't this product lives anywhere near to its name of Hard Hat. I get it could have been an isolated incident, but 2 watches in 3 months?
