    I had a Fossil Wear OS smartwatch, I liked it but I barely used any of its features. Basically, I’d use it to notify me of messages and then I could see whether or not to pick up my phone.

    I sold it and bought a Fossil hybrid (Collider HR) and I love that thing. The battery lasts about 2 weeks and people always think it’s so cool that it has physical hands.

    It shows me whenever I get a message or calendar notification (or whatever notifications I want) and that’s all I care about.

    I haven’t looked at the newer generation of watches, but I don’t think I’d upgrade or anything.

    I also have other Fossil stuff, like belts. They make cool stuff, but they’ve always been a fashion brand first before a tech brand.

    If they stop making smartwatches, are there any other brands that make good hybrid, eink watches?

    Also, the article just mentioned they’d stop making Wear OS devices so maybe they’ll still make the hybrid watches?
