The Fossil Gen 6 comes in two sizes: 42mm and 44m. The 42mm model starts at $299, while the 44mm model is priced at $319 in the US. In India, the lineup is priced at ₹23,995 and ₹24,995.

    The Fossil Gen 6 series features a premium design, 1.28-inch AMOLED display, Snapdragon 4100+ SoC, fast charging support and Wear OS.

Fossil’s new Gen 6 smartwatch represents a significant leap over the Fossil Gen 5, promising up to 3o% faster performance, up to 80% faster charging speed, and new health-tracking features. The watch features a 1.28-inch AMOLED display encased in a stainless steel body. Powering the smartwatch from the inside is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 4100+ SoC, paired with 1GB RAM and 8GB onboard storage. The new model also gets a SpO2 sensor for monitoring blood oxygen levels and an improved heart rate sensor for continuous heart rate tracking. Another noteworthy upgrade is fast charging support which Fossil claims can charge the watch from 0% to 80% in just 30 minutes.

On the software front, the Fossil Gen 6 still runs the older version of Wear OS, though promises the watch will receive an update to Wear OS 3 “sometime in 2022.”
