The two new smartwatches were launched at the 2016 Fossil Global Exposition at Baselworld in Switzerland, and will be available to buy later this year, starting at $275 (roughly Rs 18,500).

Both Smartwatches are powered by Android Wear-Google’s Smartwatch platform and come with wireless charging and IP67 water resistant technology. We’ve reached out to the company for additional information and will update this story when we hear back.
The parent company announced on Tuesday a series of fashion-forward activity trackers, smarter analog watches and slimmer Android Wear smartwatches as a part of its growing Fossil brand Q accessory lineup. Meanwhile, the Fossil Q Marshal looks more tough with a rugged case, navy blue plated case, and vintage-inspired leather straps that give a classic and timeless look.
The Q Wander features a multi-finished metal case with “sculpted” wire lugs and interchangeable leather or silicon bands, from the current press images we can confirm it comes in Gold and Black. Prices and availability dates for both watch models will be announced later this year, according to Fossil. The Q Motion also dons Fossil’s Smart Tap technology, which enables you to interact with the wearable with a single tap only.
It makes sense that brands like Fossil, TAG Heuer and Timex, who were once anxious that the smartphone was phasing out traditional watches, would want to capitalize on the connected device trend. Last week, we also saw the Fossil Q Motion. The new Q Tailor and Q Nate are analog watches with add-ons to alert you when you’re getting a call or notification from your selected contacts.

Remember when you were little and your mom told you that needed to learn how to read an analog clock because digital watches were for little kids, not ~*sophisticated adults*~? The watch will also come with specialized Micahel Kors watch faces that can be changed on the fly alongside the standard Android Wear watch faces that can be seen in other models.
