Fossil has presented its next-generation Hybrid model for those who prefer a more traditional design with some of the smart capabilities of contemporary smartwatches.
According to GSM Arena, with extra technology built into the hardware, the Fossil Gen 6 Hybrid borrows design cues from its other Gen 6 smartwatches.

Both watches have replaceable bands (18mm and 24mm, respectively), which may be made of a variety of materials, such as traditional leather or silicone bands, three-link metallic bands, and more.
Notifications, customizable watch faces, continuous heart rate and workout monitoring, a two-week battery life, physical time-telling hands, sleep and step tracking, notifications, and SpO2 tracking are all supported in addition to the two-week battery life.
A new feature is an integrated microphone that works with Amazon Alexa.
