Fossil Gen 6 Wellness Edition Hybrid Review

The Fossil Gen 6 Wellness edition is the latest attempt to make a wearable that's part smartwatch, part traditional timepiece.

Nicely designed watch ; More data packed watch face ; Improved companion app

Screen needs to be bigger ; Watch software still feels clunky and slow ; Isn’t fit for swimming or showering

While the Fossil Gen 6 Wellness edition promises to improve the way you can track your general health and fitness, it still needs to deliver a better core hybrid smartwatch experience to make this worthy of a place on your wrist.

Fossil Gen 6 Review | Trusted Reviews

Fossil's Snapdragon Wear 4100+-powered smartwatch is finally here – but without Wear OS 3 at launch, is it worth buying?

Wear 4100+ is exactly what Wear OS needs ; Varied options to suit different styles ; Speedy GPS tracking

No Wear OS 3 at launch ; Minor upgrade over the Gen 5 ; Fossil’s fitness tracking is a letdown ; Dull array of watch faces included

With Wear OS 3 missing at launch and only the Snapdragon Wear 4100+ to write home about, the Fossil Gen 6 simply isn’t the upgrade I was anticipating. Nevertheless, the watch remains a capable device with a sleek design, a fast processor and impressive...

Fossil Gen 6 review: Nearly there

Fossil's sixth-gen model packs a more powerful processor, but is still waiting for the new software to arrive so isn't as complete as it could be.

Faster and more responsive than predecessors ; Attractive design ; Not too expensive

Doesn't have the new Wear OS ; Fitness tracking is basic ; GPS inaccurate ; Too easy to accidentally press buttons

A good-looking smartwatch that's faster and more responsive than its predecessors. But while new hardware is here, the latest Wear OS software is not - and that leaves us wanting for a little more.

Fossil Gen 6 Hybrid Wellness Edition smartwatch review

The Fossil Gen 6 Hybrid Wellness Edition strikes a solid balance of simplicity and smarts. It's an ideal smartwatch for someone who wants a long-lasting device with basic fitness tracking, though it

, but it certainly should do the job if you’re hoping to get moving a bit more.

Fossil Gen 6 Hybrid Wellness Edition review: A good first impression

The Fossil Gen 6 Hybrid Wellness Edition is the latest hybrid smartwatch from Fossil Group. It sports a design similar to its Wear OS counterpart but with a simplified UI and physical hands. I didn't see the appeal of hybrid smartwatches, but I do now.

Fossil Gen 6 Wellness Edition Review: Wear OS 3 is supposed to be better than this

The Fossil Gen 6 Wellness Edition arrives at an awkward time, and it struggles to live up to the fitness focus its name implies.

Fossil Gen 6 Wellness Edition review: Fossil's best-looking Wear OS smartwatch can't go the distance

What makes the Fossil Gen 6 Wellness Edition stand out from the rest of the lineup? Not much, but it's the one you should get. The Fossil Gen 6 Wellness Edition is mostly the same as the rest of the Gen 6 lineup, but it looks a lot better.
