Fossil sort of threw caution to the wind and debuted its Gen 6 smartwatch even though a major feature — Wear OS 3 — won’t be available until next year. This new wearable replaces the stellar Gen 5 and does so with improved internals and new health sensors that should boost performance and make it a better wrist-borne companion. Did Fossil make the right choice by launching without the fresh operating system? More importantly, should you buy the Fossil Gen 6 on the promise of a software update that won’t arrive until next year? Find out in the Android Authority Fossil Gen 6 review.
