Fossil Gen 6 Hybrid smartwatch turns the page to E-Ink display

Watches combine an always-on dial with analogue hands and digital notifications for a range of health, wellness and lifestyle information.

Fossil is following up the launch of wellness editions for its Wear OS 3 smartwatches last year with a similar evolution for the Gen 6 Hybrid line.

A new Gen 6 Wellness Edition Hybrid Smartwatch, which combines smartwatch sensors and displays with analogue hour and minute hands, was unveiled at CES in Las Vegas this week, bringing it into line with the Wear OS 3 watches, which use the newly enriched Fossil Smartwatch App.

Gen 6 offers two weeks of battery life rather than the usual one or two days of full featured smartwatches.

The power efficiency comes from switching from an OLED display to E-Ink, which can show grey text, digits and graphics on a black background or the reverse.

The display sits in the background behind hands pointing to a raised hour and minute track that brings definition to the dial while matching the color of a silicon strap.

Information displayed ranges from oxygen saturation and heart level to message alerts, the weather and remaining battery life.

The combination of the always on E-Ink display, bold analog hands and a stylish 44mm case in rose gold or black plate or steel make it a statement to be noticed on the wrist.

It is also practical with 3 ATM water resistance.

The Fossil Gen 6 Hybrid Wellness Edition watches is on sale from today (January 5) for £279.
