There could be several reasons why your Fossil Q-Hybrid watch is not connecting to your phone. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:
1. Check Bluetooth: Make sure that Bluetooth is enabled on both your watch and phone. Also, ensure that your watch is set to discoverable mode.
2. Restart: Restart both your watch and phone to refresh their systems. Sometimes a simple restart can resolve connectivity issues.
3. Forget and Re-pair: Remove the Bluetooth pairing between your watch and phone, then try re-pairing them again. On your phone, go to Bluetooth settings, find your watch's name, and select "Forget" or "Unpair." Follow the steps to reconnect your watch.

There are a few ways to determine if your Fossil Q-Hybrid watch is charging:
1. Check the battery icon: When you connect your watch to the charger, a battery icon will usually appear on the display. This indicates that the watch is charging. You may also notice the battery icon filling up gradually, indicating the increasing charge.
2. Screen activity: If your watch's screen lights up or displays any charging-related animation when connected to the charger, it is a clear indication that the watch is charging.
3. LED indicator: Some Fossil Q-Hybrid watches have an LED light on the watch face or side. When connected to the charger, the LED may illuminate or change color, indicating that the watch is charging.
4. Smartphone app notifications: If you have the Fossil Q smartphone app connected to your watch, you may receive notifications indicating that your watch is charging. The app can provide real-time updates on your watch's charging status.
If you find that your watch is not charging despite checking the above factors, try ensuring that the charger is plugged in correctly, the watch contacts are clean and properly aligned with the charger, and that the charger itself is functioning properly.
