The best smartwatch innovations from IFA 2019: Fossil brings the 5th generation

The Fossil Group shows the 5th generation of its smartwatch line-up at IFA 2019. The innovations include an integrated loudspeaker with which it is now possible to make phone calls directly via the Fossil smartwatch. For this is on the clocks that are still under WearOS run, a proprietary dial-up app preinstalled. In addition, the integrated loudspeaker can now also be used with the Google Assistant communicate. Furthermore, Fossil has placed the focus on the battery life for the 5th generation of its smartwatches.

For this reason, the new models now come with a feature called “Smart Battery Mode”, which enables the user to select one of four preset modes and thus optimize battery usage. This includes the “Daily Mode”, which promises a 24-hour runtime and allows all features. With the “Extended Mode” it should be possible to charge the Smartwatch only every few days and the “Time Only Mode” only shows the time. This enables a running time of weeks on a full charge or is suitable for short-term savings.

The Fossil brand smartwatches, coming as the 5th generation, are the models Carlyle HR (Gentlemen) and Julianna HR (Ladies). But there are also other newcomers from the other brands that belong to the Fossil Group. The 5th generation smartwatches also include the Diesel On Axial and Emporio Armani smart health connected Smartwatch 3 for men, as well as the Michael Kors Access Bradshaw and Lexington 2 for ladies.

It is also a good choice for athletes, because it is very light (41 grams), very comfortable and easy to handle. The users can use the watch for swimming, waterproof up to 5 ATM.

Although in general, Huawei Watch GT’s statistics may seem lower than those of its competitors, the good battery life justifies its purchase.
