\nThe update will be for Gen 5 watches. Which includes not only the ones that come from Fossil directly but the ones that are designed by Fossil. Such as those from Michael Kors and other brands.
\nSome of the new features will be more present and obvious. While others will be more subtle but shouldn’t be overlooked. Sleep tracking of course is one of the bigger features and will no doubt get some use.
\nFossil Gen 5 smartwatches will get a host of sleep tracking capabilities
\nSleep tracking in general will be useful to have. But sleep tracking is merely the overarching feature.
\nAs a whole it’ll encompass a handful of various capabilities. For starters, users with a Gen 5 smartwatch from Fossil will be able to track sleep history. Use this to get a better overall picture of how well you slept.
\nWith that data, you can attempt to adjust your habits before bed so as to improve your sleep going forward. You’ll also be able to monitor restfulness, and create sleep goals for yourself.
\nThat last bit should be particularly useful if you have trouble getting enough sleep every night. As connected to technology as this world is these days, that isn’t exactly a difficult thing to do. On a somewhat unrelated note, the new sleep tracking features should pair nicely with the bedtime mode on Android devices.
\nA handful of other new features and optimizations to love
\nSleep tracking is just the tip of the iceberg. In addition to that, the update also includes other features and optimizations.
\nOne of those is an updated phone app which includes things like a new phone tile and the inclusion of avatars for your contacts. When scrolling through your contacts on the watch, they will no longer be just a name and number. They’ll be a face. Albeit small faces as the icons won’t exactly be large.
\nThere’s also a new optimized activity tracker. Fossil included new battery saving workouts to keep your watch charged up as long as possible while also charging up yourself with energy. This pairs with a new wellness app on the watch that can monitor various things, like real-time metrics, but while only using half the battery compared to before.
\nThere’s also a new cardio fitness tracker that can show users an estimation of Vo2 max. As noted above this update is headed out to watches this week. Though Fossil doesn’t give a specific time, though the update should be sent out starting today.
