With peak season ramping up, Fossil Group is throwing its promotional weight behind the Gen 6 smartwatch technology it has adopted for brands including Michael Kors and Fossil.<\/strong><\/p>\n It is the first family powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear4100+ Platform and Google Wear OS 3, which makes the watches faster and more responsive. Battery charging is also much quicker, topping up from zero to 80% in half an hour.<\/p>\n The watches have an additional blood oxygen level monitor along with heart rate tracking.<\/p>\n \u201cAt Fossil Group, we are always striving to deliver increased performance and delight users, working in partnership with Qualcomm and Google, and we are excited by the new capabilities Gen 6 is bringing to our users. Faster interface, less time to charge and upgraded health and wellness features are only a few of the benefits Gen 6 will see as our teams continue to innovate and evolve our smartwatch portfolio,\u201d says Steve Evans, Fossil Group EVP chief brand officer.<\/p>\n \u201cWe also know how crucial personalized style continues to be in the wearables space for our design-conscious consumer, so I am excited to share that in addition to Fossil brand, Michael Kors will soon be launching Gen 6 as well. Our innovation teams at Fossil Group continue to provide users the best-in-class experience without compromising stunning design from brands they love.\u201d<\/p>\n
