Rumor suggests not to expect Fossil Gen 7 watches

    I had a fossil before I bought my Samsung, and it was a god awful mess. Barely functional, slow and honestly kind of ugly.

    Still, a shame to lose more competitors.

      Same, I had the Carlisle and it was a worthless piece of trash. It was painfully slow, and it would vibrate with a notification, but then there wouldn’t be any notification to be found. I eventually just stopped wearing it and figured I’d wait for the Pixel Watch to be released, but even then, knowing how horrible Google’s first attempts at hardware usually goes, I still waited an extra year for the Pixel Watch 2. So far I’ve been happy with it, and I’ll never buy another Fossil watch again.

      I’ve had 4 Fossil watches over the past 30 years and they’ve all turned out to be garbage. Beautiful garbage.

    Damn, i just bought one of their hybrid watches I hope this doesn’t mean an early EoL for it… I know the article spells out the wearOS models specifically, but if they kill off the hybrid line too that would spell the end of smart watches for me.
