Fossil, which has long collaborated with Google on smartwatch operating systems, announced earlier that it will no longer launch smartwatch products equipped with Wear OS.
Reddit forum discussion contentIt is alleged that Fossil has launchedGen 6 Series Smartwatch, and will launch a health measurement function in October 2022Gen 6 Wellness Edition smartwatchSince then, Fossil has not launched any new smartwatch products. It is even currently selling them at a discount of more than half price on its official US website. Therefore, there are rumors that Fossil may no longer cooperate with Google.
Relevant statements indicate that Fossil and Google have established a cooperative relationship since the early days of Google's promotion of the Android Wear operating system, but there are still obvious differences compared to the deeper cooperation between Google and Samsung. Therefore, Fossil may have considered terminating its cooperation with Google because it failed to obtain better cooperation treatment from Google, and many of Google's subsequent updates to Wear OS were designed for Samsung smartwatch products.
However, neither Fossil nor Google has responded to such rumors.
