Good things take time. It seems Fossil took this saying very seriously when it came to releasing the latest Wear OS update to the 2022’s Skagen Falster Gen 6 smartwatch. The wearable, launched during CES last year, is finally receiving the Wear OS 3 update. The company was supposed to release the software sometime in 2022 but it missed the deadline.
According to the users on Reddit, Fossil’s Skagen Falster Gen 6 is now receiving the Wear OS 3 update. A user posted an image of the update arriving to the smartwatch and shared that it looks a lot like stock Wear OS 3 with fewer Skagen watch faces and no Pixel Watch faces. Another user reported that only 8 Skagen watch faces are available.
Others report that some features are missing. For instance, Google Assistant is not an option on the watch, but Amazon’s Alexa is available at your service. This is apparently due to some hardware limitations of Wear OS 3. As of now, Google Assistant is only compatible with Wear OS 3 watches featuring Samsung’s Exynos chipsets
Overall, the users on Reddit suggest that the update runs pretty well, with some saying that the UI feels smoother and quicker. The watch is reported to require more time when booting up, however, there seems to be no noticeable difference in battery life. Connectivity and app options are also said to have improved on iOS.
Before you proceed to update your Skagen Falster Gen 6, note that all user data on the wearable will be deleted, and you’ll need to set up the watch with the new Skagen companion app.
