If you are wondering what new piece of Android Wear to get next, you should check out the new smartwatch released by Fossil. Named Fossil Q Founder, it already has two options that are available on the Google Play store.
While usually smartwatches come with a modern, high-tech look, the Fossil Q Founder actually looks so elegant you could wear it at a fancy dinner party. The watch was released on the market as the interest in Android Wear has recorded an important growth over the last year.
The intelligent watch comes in two versions. If you want to achieve a more elegant look, you can opt for the $275 watch with the classic leather strap. However, if you prefer stainless steel, you can choose the second option for $295. Both versions come with a smooth and round screen.
As for specifications, Fossil Q Founder has the Atom CPU from Intel, unlike other smartwatches which are powered by CPUs from Qualcomm. This makes it the latest technology for Android Wear up to this moment. It is expected to run quite smoothly, since it is equipped with 1GB RAM and 4GB of storage. Its screen has 1.5 inches and 240ppi, and its battery can last for 24 hours.
Furthermore, the smartwatch features a gyroscope, an accelerometer and ambient light. There is one downside to it though: the part of the screen resembling a flat tire. The problem is similar to the one the Moto 360 had, which was heavily criticised by users. However, it does not look as unpleasant on the Fossil Q Founder, and it shouldn’t stop you from choosing it. The model also lacks a heart-rate sensor which many sports fans find useful, but you can find the option on another smartwatch from Fossil, the Q Grant.
There is one other smartwatch powered by Intel. Produced by TAG Heuer, it comes at the painful price of $1,500. Overall, the Fossil Q Founder is best option on the market at the moment. The new smartwatch released by Fossil will surely be bought by many Android Wear enthusiasts, especially since the Christmas holidays are soon upon us and we will find ourselves in need of buying the perfect gift for our loved ones.
