When it comes to smartwatches, all except for the
Apple Watch come in two sizes: big and bigger. The new Fossil connected watches
finally bring the hybrid smartwatch to a small form factor that more women can
wear.
Based off Fossil's most popular watch designs, the
new Fossil Q Neely and Q Jacqueline are the tiniest in the family with watch
size of just 36mm. The price for the new watches starts from US$ 155 and their
release date is set for October 22nd.
Not much different from earlier hybrid watches: they
will count your steps, track sleep and vibrate when you get new notifications.
You have three customizable buttons on the side that can show you the date,
control music and act as a remote shutter, taking a photo using the phone's
camera. That smaller dial inside shows how close are you to achieving your
daily step goal.
Best of all, you get up to six months of battery
life with Fossil's new watches. Finally, Fossil has also released a new app for
iOS and Android to go with its smartwatches. It has a revamped design and new
functionality with most used features grouped on the main screen and
visualizations for progress with your daily goals.
