It's Over for Fossil Smartwatches
It's Over for Fossil Smartwatches
A week ago, we told you to head on over to Fossil’s online store to grab one of their last-remaining Wear OS smartwatches that had been dropped to $79. While we made sure you understood to not expect much going forward should you buy one, the price was so good that... #Fossil #Smartwatches

I love my hybrid, i like having "just a watch" that can show me a notification and the first few words and let me control my music without pulling out my phone, fossil smart watches will be missed
That is essentially all I use my pixel watch for. I don't reply to texts from it or use apps and shit. It has the time, I can read a quick text if I'm away from the phone, and I can control my media easily. Also heart rate and such for workouts.
I like getting 1-2 months of battery life, afaik the pixel watch doesn't do more than a day or two
I don't even get a full day out of my first gen pixel watch. Gotta turn the screen off to get close to it. Why am I wearing a watch that I can't see the time on, again?
Try Garmin. I can put my watch into expedition mode and get up to 50 days of tracking.
That is definitely an issue, I get about 2 days of power on mine, but I also take it off when I'm home and it sits on its charger
Have you looked at Garmin running watches? That's what I use, they last over a week on a charge, have basic notification and app functions, and look like a pretty basic watch.
Yeah but they're like three times the price last I checked.
I refuse to pay more for a smartwatch than a phone.
I had a Garmin hybrid before. Didn't like the OLED screen at all. Fossil's e-ink is just so much superior in the sun.
Yeah, that's my next watch maker when this one becomes completely incapable of function, i like the look of the instinct crossover
That's why I got a smart band. It tracks all useful metrics like HR, sleep, stress, SPO2 and does limited smartwatch stuff. Plus, it costs much less compared to a smartwatch without needing a ton of battery to boot with.
that's why i got a huawei band for like 25$
I got a withings for this, though after 2 years it stopped charging, been an expensive paperweight since. It should be fine for you if you treat it like it looks - I tend to be rough with my watches.
Been watchless since, had my eye on fossil but :(
