San Francisco, June 7 (Ians) US-based fashion brand Fossil, the biggest Wear Os wearables maker, has said that it will not upgrade the existing Wear Os watches to the new joint Wear software platform from Samsung and Google.
Instead, the company is planning to launch a premium Gen 6 smartwatch that will run on Google's revamped operating system with "pretty major hardware upgrades" like faster performance, longer battery life, next-gen chips and Lte cellular options.
Fossil executives Greg McKelvey and Steve Prokup said in an interview with CNET that existing watches will probably be discounted as budget options.
"All of the software benefits that Google's talking about and launching with the unified platform is something we'll be building into that (Gen 6 watch) as well," McKelvey was quoted as saying in the report on Sunday.
The new Fossil smartwatch could be on par with the newest Apple Watch Series 6, which starts at $400.
