Fossil Smart Watches & Trackers in Ghana
Since Qualcomm introduced the Snapdragon Wear 3100 processor, I've been waiting - I wondered who would dare to be the first to launch a new smartwatch based on this chipset. And in the review of Fossil Sport smartwatches, I propose to consider and discuss the Wear OS-based gadget from all sides.
This Fossil smartwatch not only has a new processor, but also built-in GPS, a heart rate monitor (HR), NFC and the latest version of the operating system from Google. Considering that the previous Snapdragon 2100 processor has already worked for almost 2 years, I only expect more battery life and improved performance from the new hardware. Let's see if the Fossil Sport watch lives up to my expectations.
Fossil Sport smartwatches traditionally came in two versions - with 41 mm and 43 mm cases. There are 6 additional color options to choose from - some classic and some fun. For example, you can choose a model with a red case and a red silicone bracelet, light blue with a blue strap, or even gold with a gray strap.
Judging by the first reviews, the smartwatch turne Fossil Smart Watches & Trackers in Ghana d out to be very light. Subjectively, I will say that this is probably the lightest watch from Fossil. All this thanks to new materials: the lower part of the case is made of nylon, and the upper one is aluminum. As a result, the device is practically not felt on the hand.
For this review, I took a model with a 41mm bezel, which is suitable for hands with thin wrists. The watch fits perfectly on the wrist, and the model, with its 12 mm thickness, is, in fact, slightly thinner than the Fossil Q Venture HR. Due to the design, the thickness is not felt at all. With such dimensions, the gadget does not create discomfort - it is comfortable to wear, it does not cling to anything.
The Sport's silicone back does not irritate your skin if you tend to sweat. So you don't have to take off the device while doing sports. The new Fossil Sport is not only suitable for active people, it can be worn equally with everyday clothes. I've never been a fan of designs that use 2 or more colors. This makes the watch design cheaper. Uniform color gives a more cohesive look. Although the sports model can be forgiven. By the way, the protection of the case from water and dust will be a bonus.
On the side of the case there are two buttons and a crown. If you suddenly find it uncomfortable to operate the screen with your finger, then you can easily navigate the menu using the head. If you hold it down, Google Assistant is activated. Pressing the top button brings up weather information, the bottom button launches Google Fit.
Fossil Sport has a ton of pre-installed watch faces, most of which are customizable: color scheme, additional information (steps, weather, Google Pay, etc.). Additionally, three more were added, in which Google Fit was integrated, so that you can track your progress throughout the day. It's not for nothing that Fossil smartwatches have a heart rate monitor and a modified Wear OS.
Most of the time I used the Essential Digital watch face, which displays the date, time, calendar notifications, heart rate, and app notifications.
The previous Snapdragon Wear 2100 did not have performance issues, however, over time, menu scrolling began to slow down, and applications could start slower. The new Snapdragon Wear 3100 chip does not offer anything revolutionary, but its performance is an order of magnitude higher. Scrolling through the menu is instantaneous, there are no delays when navigating or sorting notifications.
Unfortunately, apps like Weather and Spotify on Fossil Sport run slower than others, but run faster than on the old processor. The voice assistant Google Assistant has also breathed more freely, now it downloads results for requests almost instantly.
In the Sport version, Fossil has installed 4GB of storage so that media files can be stored directly on the watch. Now you can download music, connect Bluetooth headphones and listen to your favorite tracks without a smartphone.
Fossil Sport's 1.2-inch AMOLED display is very bright and with high contrast, it is not afraid of direct sunlight. The screen received a resolution of 390 ppi, which qualitatively affected the clarity of the design elements. By the way, since this is an AMOLED display, then the colors are saturated and pleasant to look at.
Even after a short test of Fossil Sport, the difference in interface design is obvious - the updated Wear OS is visually better than previous versions, and outperforms them in per
