No Fossil Gen 7 ? It looks like Fossil won't be making any more Wear OS based smart watches
Back in the early days of Wear OS, Fossil was known as a key player in the smartwatch market. Over time, Fossil's popularity has waned, and now sources are reporting that Fossil smartwatches will no longer run on Wear OS.
Here's What We Know
Reports from sources close to Fossil or contracted to its employees indicate that the brand will no longer be releasing Wear OS watches. What will happen to Fossil gadgets now, whether we should wait for new models and what operating system they will use - is still unknown.
But the same sources say that Fossil Gen 7 watches will most likely not be available at all. Fossil Gen 6 debuted 2 years ago, in August 2021. They didn't have a successor after that, and there were no rumours about the Fossil Gen 7 either. It's also unclear if the Gen 6 wearable devices will receive the Wear OS 4 update.
In addition, it is alarming that Fossil is currently running a massive sale on the Fossil Gen 6 - the watch is available at a 50% discount on the official website. This seems to be the manufacturer's way of clearing out stock.
