Sammanfattning: There's no getting around the fact that Wear OS as a platform hasn't evolved much in recent years, mostly because Google and Qualcomm, as the two major players powering it, don't seem invested. It's not dead, though, because companies like Fossil are tryi...
Sammanfattning: Wear OS, formerly known as Android Wear, is an interesting platform to say the least. In theory it's the best and smartest stuff you could put on your wrist. In practice, it's a gamble.While the software has advanced over the generations, the hardware...
Crisp, bright display, Plenty of great watch faces preinstalled, Useful custom battery modes, GPS, NFC, and heart rate sensor, Accurate fitness tracking, Built-in speaker is very useful

Sluggish performance, Battery life is still not great, Built-in speaker not that useful
Fossil's fifth-generation smartwatch achieves two things: it packs a whole lot of features into an attractive watch design. However, those positive features are, ultimately, undermined by halting performance, an uninspiring speaker and battery life that s...
Plenty of designs available, Battery charging speed is quicker than before, Heart-rate sensor equipped, Easy to switch watch bands/straps
