Just when Google announced the revamp of the Wear OS, Fossil has announced its first smartwatch with a Snapdragon 3100 chip launched as the Sport Smartwatch. The Fossil Sport Smartwatch is specially emphasized on integrated heart rate sensor, ambient mode, and an all-day battery life with 350 mAH battery. Priced at $225, the Sport Smartwatch is available for purchase online and at Fossil retail locations.

What makes the Sport Smartwatch interesting is that it’s one of the first Wear OS smartwatches to debut with Qualcomm’s new wearable chip. The new Qualcomm wearable chip is an affirmation of longer battery life when compared with Google’s Wear OS that’s synonymous with outdated chips and low-power.

Smart comes in colors
