Fossil unveiled its next generation hybrid smartwatch for those who prefer a more classic look with some of the smart features of modern smartwatches. The Fossil Gen 6 Hybrid takes design elements from other Gen 6 smartwatches and packs more technology into the hardware.
There are two models: Machine and Stella. The former has a case size of 45mm with a textured bezel and is available in black, smoke and silver finishes. The Stella is a smaller 40.5mm case with more feminine colourways including Rose Gold, Silver and Two-Tone. Both watches have interchangeable straps (18mm and 24mm respectively) of different materials including three-link metallics and classic leather or silicone straps.
In addition to two-week battery life and physical hands that indicate time, there’s also support for sleep and step tracking, notifications, customizable watch faces, continuous heart rate and workout tracking, and the Gen 6 hybrid now has SpO2 monitoring. Also new is a built-in microphone with support for Amazon Alexa.
Additionally, Fossil has released a redesigned smartwatch companion app for both Android and iOS with improved customization options and a more comprehensive fitness data dashboard. The new app will also work with older Fossil Hybrid smartwatches so owners can start taking advantage of the app’s new UI.
The Fossil Gen 6 Hybrid will be available June 27 on Fossil.com or in Fossil stores for $ 229 or $ 249 if you opt for a metal strap model.
