One of the most attractive gifts we can give at Christmas: it keeps us fit and informs us about our health. Meet Fossil’s new smartwatch
Smart watches have more and more followers. And it is that it is a fashion accessory adapted to the times: in addition to offering distinction and, of course, the time, it helps us in our daily lives to stay active and provide us with information as useful as heart rate or how our rest has been during the night.
The Fossil brand has just contributed its particular grain of sand to the vast world of smartwatches with the arrival of its new Gen 6 Wellness Edition. If we translate Wellness into Spanish we have ‘well-being’… and this already gives us a clue where the paths with this new gadget are going.
Gen 6 Wellness Edition, the brand’s first smartwatch with Wear OS 3
The design of the new Fossil Gen 6 Wellness Edition, the brand’s first to have the Wear OS 3 operating system preinstalled, offers a silver casing, although it is also available in rose gold and black with a size of 44mm, witness to a screen with OLED technology (deep blacks, more vivid colors) and a diagonal of 1.28 inches. What is, however, the main novelty that this Gen 6 presents if we compare it with other similar watches from the brand? This is where the ‘Wellness Edition’ tagline comes in.
This novelty translates into an exclusive application of the brand aimed at the field of health and wellness. Through Wellness we can have a detailed monitoring of our health, with values such as blood oxygen (ideal for when we are doing sports and want to take full advantage of the aerobic and anaerobic rest phases), continuous monitoring of heart rate, sleep monitoring, calculation of V02Max… All of them benefit from the performance offered by the Snapdragon 4100+ processor, accompanied by 1 GB of RAM and 8GB of storage.
This watch, compatible with both Android and iOS mobile phones, also has GPS, so you don’t have to carry your phone while you exercise, and NFC connectivity, which makes it possible for you to pay with a simple twist of the wrist. For lovers of podcasts and music, it offers integration with applications such as Spotify, YouTube Music and the Amazon Alexa smart assistant.
And since we cannot forget the personalization section, Fossil Gen 6 Wellness Edition offers interchangeable straps and thousands of spheres with different designs to adapt the style of the clock to what we most want, call notifications (including answering them directly from the clock) and applications such as Gmail or WhatsApp.
And as for autonomy? A section that is highly valued by all those who opt for a watch with these characteristics. In the case of the Fossil Gen 6 Wellness Edition we are talking about reach the day with ease. It may not seem like much, but this watch has fast charging: with half an hour of power supply we can reach 80% battery.
This new Fossil brand smartwatch has been on sale since October 17 and can be purchased in specialized stores at price of 299 euros. It is a great alternative for all those who are looking for extra motivation when it comes to getting their body moving, or for those who already practice one (or several) sports activities and need a wearable that is stylish and, at the same time, functional. The new proposal from the Fossil brand undoubtedly conforms to what is expected of a smart watch and is postulated as one of the gifts to take into account this Christmas.
