Fossil has made a new smartwatch available to purchase. The Fossil Gen 6 ‘Venture Edition’ can be grabbed in the US as we speak. This smartwatch comes with an updated design, compared to the Fossil Gen 6, and a brand new watch strap.
The Fossil Gen 6 ‘Venture Edition’ brings design tweaks, and a new watch band
This watch comes with a silver body, made out of metal, and it has an etched ring around its bezel. This does add some flair to its design, and it does look quite premium. Fossil says that it aimed at a “field watch” look.
Now, this watch also comes with a new watch band. It is a mix of brown leather and green fabric. Fossil notes that it used “eco-leather” here, and also recycled green nylon for this watch strap.
On top of that, the company also included a new watch face here, an exclusive one. This watch face is inspired by ”classic digital field watches from the past”, says Fossil. It displays hiking distance, duration and altitude, a compass, heart rate tracking, and even estimated blood oxygen measurements. So you’re getting plenty of info here.
The specs are the same as on the regular Fossil Gen 6
On the inside, this smartwatch is the same as the regular Fossil Gen 6. It features a 1.28-inch AMOLED display, and the Snapdragon 4100+ SoC. Fossil included 1GB of RAM here, and a 1.28-inch AMOLED display.
This is a 44mm smartwatch, and Fossil rates its battery life to about a day. So, you’ll likely have to charge it every day, which is not surprising considering that this is a Wear OS watch. It comes with Wear OS 2, though, but it should get Wear OS 3 later on.
Now, you can grab this smartwatch for $299 in the US. It’s available both from Fossil and from Amazon, though do note it will be available for a “limited time”.
