Fossil, the well-known watchmaker has also launched a smartwatch and the latest product from the company is Fossil Gen 5 which was announced over a year ago. Now, the company is set to launch its successor.
The upcoming Fossil Gen 6 smartwatch has been spotted on the FCC website with model number C1NF1, reports GoAndroid. This is the same device that appeared on Bluetooth SIG along with the DW11 smartwatch earlier this year.
The FCC listing of this next-generation Fossil watch also revealed that the product will come with support for LTE connectivity. Along with that, it also features support for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and NFC.

Fossil is known to be arguably one of the better, and possibly best Android smartwatch manufacturers, at least when it comes to Wear OS. While Google was seemingly twiddling its thumbs on the OS, Fossil was pumping out great hardware and even taking some responsibility for the software. While the launch of the Fossil Gen 5E was an unexpected half-step forward, new filings point to a fairly dramatic change coming to Fossil smartwatches.

I’ve always viewed Suunto watches as rugged gadgets for serious athletes, so when I had to chance to try out the Suunto 7, I was hesitant. I was worried I wasn’t worthy.
Well, after trying it out for my jogs, I can tell you I don’t care if I’m fit to wear this somewhat oversized watch. It feels good on the wrist and delights with its smart features.
Let’s start with the large 1.39-inch screen. Yes, it feels a little large on my wrists, but when you’re jogging and have a tired-looking face, an oversized watch is the least you care about.
Best Value For Money Smartwatch of 2020: Samsung Galaxy Watch 3
The Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 is the most value for money wearable you can buy in 2020. It packs in quite a lot of features just like the Apple Watch Series 6 but it is compatible with Android as well as the iPhone. Just like the Apple Watch Series 6, the Galaxy Watch 3 is available in non-cellular and cellular variants.
The Galaxy Watch 3 is powered by the Exynos 9110 SoC and has 1GB of RAM onboard. You get 8GB of storage onboard as well. The interface on the Galaxy Watch 3 was smooth and the rotating bezel made navigation easy on the watch. Tracking on the Galaxy Watch 3 was accurate as it could track steps, heart-rate and sleep very well. The SpO2 tracking on the Galaxy Watch 3 wasn t as accurate though.
