Shown off for a few moments at the developer conference, the first Fossil Android Wear watch looks from a distance like the Moto 360, LG Watch Urbane, Huawei Watch, and other gleaming round watches. It looks like today the fruits of their labor have finally been revealed at IDF 2015 with Fossil taking the wraps off three wearables, all of which are powered by Intel’s technology. This could well mean some newly found success on the wearable market for Android products, as we have yet to see something spectacular in that area. While the two companies are behemoths in the fashion brand world, they are new to the high-tech gadget game. There’s also a connected bracelet and a non-Android Wear smartwatch on the way, though Fossil didn’t give up any details on either of these devices. The images also showed a range of leather and metal bands that may or may not be available as options for the watch when released. This would make it the first major smart watch launch to use an Intel processor rather than a Qualcomm based chip. For many the design is just part of the story with smart wearable devices on the market today.

As the device is running Android Wear we can expect that the software will be fairly standard from an OS perspective.
