Fossil might be a bit late to the smartwatch game, which is why it doesn’t really come as a surprise to see that they’re not wasting any time playing catch up. It wasn’t too long ago that the company launched their previous lineup of smartwatches, and now they are back in a big way with four new models.
As expected these models are part of Fossil’s Q lineup of smartwatches which will now include the Q Nate, Q Crewmaster, Q Gazer, and Q Tailor. For the most part apart from their outer design, these watches will share similar hardware features. This means that wearers can expect features like sleep monitoring, filtered notifications, vibrations, dial animations, and more.
These are also what are known as hybrid smartwatches in the sense that on the exterior, they look like normal watches, but they also come with sensors and features that make them more functional than regular watches. However because they are hybrids, they will have a longer battery life, which according to Fossil should last for about 6 months. They also rely on the coin cell battery so swapping it out for a new one should be pretty easy.
All four watches will also be customizable in terms of its straps where users can swap straps in and out as they please with various combinations. They will be priced starting at $175 and should be available for pre-order starting 14th of September.
