Top 8 Fossil Watches for Men and Women for Timeless Class

Fossil watches have been the standard of luxury high-quality timepieces for a while now, offering both men and women a wide range of accessories. American designer Fossil Group, Inc. already ranked high on the market, but the recent news have made its watches even more desirable.

Smart Features & Traditional Look

In November, Fossil announced the upcoming launch of forty new hybrid smartwatches. Several of its popular designer brands – such as Michael Kors, Armani, Kate Spade, and Diesel – will be introducing the latest updates.

Instead of going the way of the Apple Watch (with a pure digital display), these hybrid watches will integrate new smart features while also keeping the traditional analog face. This way, customers get to keep the classy look they have come to expect from Fossil watches while benefiting from notification alerts, fitness tracking and other techie features.

As a matter of fact, the smartwatch market is rather shaky at the moment. In this context, Fossil’s foray into hybrid devices could actually be a good compromise. The style aspect isn’t sacrificed – as with bulky smartwatches – and the customers can still reap the benefits of smart features.

Fossil’s announcement represents a subtle collaboration with the smartwatch sector. The new watches might encourage more consumers to turn to digital smartwatches, given that they continue to improve in functionality and appearance.

Time for Change

A hybrid approach to watches has its appeal, especially for customers who enjoy the smart features but don’t want to buy a watch that might soon be obsolete due to technological advancement.

Even though all of the 40 new watches are part of the Fossil Group, each brand participating in the hybrid initiative has designed its own watch. Each brand asked customers what they like most about hybridity, thus ensuring that each watch was individual to its label.

Consequently, each of the watches in the new collection features small details unique to the designing brand. For example, Armani customers said that a second time zone was the most appealing, which is why the Armani watch comes with a customizable sub-dial.

Meanwhile, the new Kate Spade watch has incorporated a countdown feature. This allows users to program icons of small champagne glasses on the watch face that keeps track of an upcoming life event.

Amazing Features

Apart from the small features unique to each brand, the watches also come with standard smart features. Music playback, step tracking, and smartphone notification linking are just some of the characteristics we have come to expect from smartwatches.

Brands have designed each Fossil watch to have its own dedicated app for further features. Also, given that the timepieces are powered by coin-cell batteries, you don’t need to charge them daily like your smartphone. Instead, the new batteries are just fine with being changed every six months.

Even though hybrid smartwatches are indeed stylish, they do not offer the same kind of experience as digital ones. For example, hybrid watches don’t allow users to see the notifications, but only an alert that there is a new notification on their smartphone. It means that you’ll have to pull out your phone to check it, unlike digital smartwatches.

Fossil announced that each brand will launch its line of analog smartwatches separately (keep an eye on their official websites). However, there are no details regarding the prices for every watch; that information might become available gradually.


If you don’t want to wait for the new Fossil hybrid watches, you can always take a look at the collections that have already been released. Below you will find a list of the classiest timepieces you can buy.
