Fossil Gen 6 Review | Two weeks later... | Best WearOS Smartwatch?

Reviewing the Fossil Gen 6 smartwatch after a fortnight of testing, to see if it's one of the best wearables of 2021 - and a strong rival to the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4. You can buy the Fossil Gen 6 now in the UK from £279.

This Wear OS smartwatch offers a premium set of specs, similar to the TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra and Amazfit's GTR3 Pro. You have full voice assistant support, a crisp and bright OLED screen, 24/7 fitness tracking and everything else you'd expect.

I enjoyed my time with the Fossil Gen 6, and appreciate the variety of designs and bands you can choose from. Performance is great thanks to Qualcomm's Snapdragon Wear 4100 Plus chipset, designed for smartwatches. Battery life however is as disappointing as usual for a Wear OS watch, despite decent fast charge support.

That's my thoughts on the Fossil Generation 6 after two weeks. Check out my round-up of the best smartwatches of 2021 for more ideas!
