Founded more than 30 years ago, Fossil entered the smartwatch market to fill the growing desire for tech that was beautifully designed and could be personalised. This new generation is no different: it is packed with the unique design traits allowing users to customise from strap to dial. There are 36+ exclusive dials, from fashion-forward to novelty dials, and users can integrate an increasing number of third-party apps to their device experience, as well as set social media photos as watch face backgrounds. Fossil is continuing to design smartwatches as only Fossil can, with a vintage-inspired approach to modern technology that lets customers find a watch that perfectly suits their authentic selves.
