Fossil seemingly Shifts Away from Wear OS for Future Smartwatches

Listen to article

In a surprising turn of events, reports from multiple sources, suggest that the renowned watch brand will no longer be launching smartwatches powered by Wear OS.

This decision implies that the much-anticipated Fossil Gen 7 watch may not see the light of day.

This development appears to align with recent observations concerning Fossil. The last Fossil Gen 6 watch was unveiled two years ago, and the typical summer release cycle did not feature a Fossil Gen 7 watch this year.

Notably, the absence of any buzz in the customary rumor mill further hints at this strategic shift.

Adding to the intrigue, Fossil is currently hosting a substantial sale on its Fossil Gen 6 watch, with discounts surpassing 50% on Fossil’s official website. While this could indicate an effort to clear inventory, it also underscores a potential shift in Fossil’s smartwatch strategy.

Regrettably, there is no available information regarding the reasons behind Fossil’s departure from Wear OS or details about the software that will power future Fossil watches.

As the brand navigates this transition, consumers and industry observers are left to speculate about the direction Fossil will take in the rapidly evolving landscape of smart wearables.
