Fossil debuts two new smartwatches with Android Wear, a bit of style

Fossil has yet to announced when the smartwatches will be released or if they’re making their way to Canada.

Its latest devices join Fossil’s existing Q line, which includes the Android Wear-based Q Founder smartwatch, the Q54 Pilot and the Q Grant (traditional analog-style watches) and two activity trackers: the Q Reveler and Q Dreamer.

Fossil today also introduced several other Q-branded devices.

Next up, we’ve got the larger Q Marshal. While the models offer similar capabilities, the designs are slightly different: The Q Wander has a multi-finish case and interchangeable leather straps, and the Marshal touts a slightly rugged case and a navy blue option.

The Fossil Q Founder, considering its pedigree, was already meant to be fashionable. But more than that, Fossil will also be bridging the divide with a smart analog smartwatch promised to land sometime this Fall. Both watches have the always-on display which shoes information like time, date and other notifications like calls and alerts.

Taking into account customer feedback, the watches now come in a 44mm or 46mm case and have a silicone strap in addition to leather and metal bands. Custom atch faces, including Fossil exclusives, will be available to further personalize each watch. It still connects to smartphones for relaying data and even features a “smart button” for supposedly controlling smartphones or smart appliances. The company has unveiled Q marshal and Q Wander smartwatches and both are powered by Android Wear.
