The Fossil Gen 6 Hybrid Wellness Edition strikes a solid balance of simplicity and smarts. It's an ideal smartwatch for someone who wants a long-lasting device with basic fitness tracking, though it

, but it certainly should do the job if you’re hoping to get moving a bit more.

Fossil Gen 6 Hybrid Wellness Edition review: A good first impression

The Fossil Gen 6 Hybrid Wellness Edition is the latest hybrid smartwatch from Fossil Group. It sports a design similar to its Wear OS counterpart but with a simplified UI and physical hands. I didn't see the appeal of hybrid smartwatches, but I do now.

Fossil Gen 6 Wellness Edition review: Fossil's best-looking Wear OS smartwatch can't go the distance

What makes the Fossil Gen 6 Wellness Edition stand out from the rest of the lineup? Not much, but it's the one you should get. The Fossil Gen 6 Wellness Edition is mostly the same as the rest of the Gen 6 lineup, but it looks a lot better.

Fossil Gen 6 review: Fighting with one hand behind its back

Fossil released its next-gen wearable with last-gen software. Was that the right move? Find out in this Fossil Gen 6 review.

Respectable design

Fossil is clearly hoping to appeal to a wide audience of potential buyers with the Gen 6. The company took somewhat of a middle-of-the-road approach to drafting this wearable and it straddles the line between traditional smartwatch behaviors and...

Fossil Gen 6 Review

The Fossil Gen 6 is a next-generation smartwatch that failed to impress us overall. It uses a crown, which improves navigating the watch's smart functions...

Crown scroll, charges quickly, user-friendly "always on" screen

Poor value, subpar battery life

The Fossil Gen 6 is a next-generation smartwatch that failed to impress us overall. It uses a crown, which improves navigating the watch's smart functions and features, but this does not work with every screen. It also lacks availability and support...

Fossil Gen 6 review: I still don't want to wear this OS

Fossil improved just about every nagging hardware issue with the Gen 6, crafting a beautiful smartwatch with great battery life. Wear OS 2 still holds the hardware back, though, and that makes it more difficult to appreciate the improvements Fossil has...

Full-color AOD screen ; New health sensors make a big difference ; Sleep tracking works perfectly ; Excellent battery life ; Super-fast charging

The onboarding process is very bad ; Lacks a proper companion app ; Wear OS 2 holds the hardware back ; Performance is hit or miss ; Crown gets in the way when working out

Fossil Gen 6 is a smartwatch with lots of unrealized potential. Solid hardware packs great performance, battery life, reliable health metrics, and ultra-fast charging speed. It's just a shame that Wear OS 2 holds it back so much.
