I had a fossil before I bought my Samsung, and it was a god awful mess. Barely functional, slow and honestly kind of ugly.
Still, a shame to lose more competitors.
Same, I had the Carlisle and it was a worthless piece of trash. It was painfully slow, and it would vibrate with a notification, but then there wouldn’t be any notification to be found. I eventually just stopped wearing it and figured I’d wait for the Pixel Watch to be released, but even then, knowing how horrible Google’s first attempts at hardware usually goes, I still waited an extra year for the Pixel Watch 2. So far I’ve been happy with it, and I’ll never buy another Fossil watch again.
I’ve had 4 Fossil watches over the past 30 years and they’ve all turned out to be garbage. Beautiful garbage.

Less competition means everyone loses. They made Wear OS better by existing.
I love the look of fossil watches. Sorry to see them go!
Damn, i just bought one of their hybrid watches I hope this doesn’t mean an early EoL for it… I know the article spells out the wearOS models specifically, but if they kill off the hybrid line too that would spell the end of smart watches for me.
Android 14 has finally made using my Pebble with the phone a bad option. I’m happy with the Garmin that I replaced it with.
What’s the problem? I’m not on Android 14 yet, but my quick search says the pebble app should work.
