Despite releasing more devices than one can count on the fingers of both hands under many different brands over the last year or so, the US-based Fossil Group hasn’t managed to crack the top five global smartwatch vendor chart, ranking eight in revenue during the first half of 2020, behind everyone from Apple to Garmin, Huawei, Samsung, Amazfit, and Fitbit.
Compared to those two, the Fossil Gen 5 is arguably prettier, allowing you to choose from black and smoke-coated Carlyle models, as well as eye-catching Rose Gold Glitz and Rose Gold/Black Julianna styles at the aforementioned $116 discount. All of these intelligent timepieces come with a robust stainless steel case, packing everything from standalone GPS connectivity to a built-in heart rate monitor, accelerometer, altimeter, compass, and gyroscope.
