Fossil Gen 6 smartwatch owners are in for a treat as the company is rolling out new features for the wearables. The new additions arrive from a software upgrade, which brings the Wear OS 3.5 build.
Fossil Gen 6 Smartwatches Wear OS 3.5 Update
The new update was released and it adds new features along with enhancements to the smartwatches. These Gen 6 smartwatches include models like Standard, Wellness Edition, Skagen Falster, and Diesel Griffed. With Wear OS 3.5, Fossil claims that users can expect to see improved battery life, although no specifics were revealed. So the end user experience could vary.
The Fossil Gen 6 smartwatches will also run up to 30 percent faster thanks to a more optimized experience. Furthermore, these models will support more third party apps now. There are changes to the UI as well, with a Tile layout for the home screen, a Google Home shortcut, and gesture controls for more intuitive navigation. Notably, the enhanced performance is also paired with better fitness tracking thanks to Fitbit integration.
This is not surprising considering Google acquired Fitbit a while back. Just earlier this year, we had also talked about the Gen 6 watch lineup receiving the Wear OS 3 update. This brought the Google Assistant to the Fossil Gen 6 smartwatches. But it is unclear if Wear OS 4 is planned for the series.
