“The sleek design is in the Gen 6’s favor, and its 1.28‑inch AMOLED display is one of the best, but its barely‑one‑day battery life keeps us from recommending the watch over other longer‑lasting wearables, even if you can recharge it to full in just under an hour.”

Acclaimed 4/5

“The kindest thing I can say about the new $299 Gen 6 iteration of Fossil’s long‑running smartwatch series is this: it’s not entirely Fossil’s fault that it’s bad.”

Mixed 4/10
