Fossil is quitting smartwatches::Fossil is going to stop making smartwatches. It was one of the most prolific companies creating Wear OS watches.
Withings, Garmin and Casio have them in very different styles, plus a lot of Chinese ones which names I don’t remember.
Literally months of battery time, up to unlimited for the solar ones.
As someone with a Garmin Instinct Solar, the unlimited battery is really dependent on your habits. You really need to be exposed to the sun for long periods on a daily basis for it to noticeably charge via solar. Still though the idea of a watch that you never need to charge is really neat.
Important thing with those is… avoid Garmin at all costs. They are nasty company who will drop support for your device 6 months after purchase forcing you to buy a new device and similar nasty moves.
what? my fenix 5x is going strong years later despite being a couple gens behind
Can you provide some examples…? I still have an original Vivomove that still functions fine? Not sure what you mean by “dropping” them- you’re implying they stop working when they don’t
Is it running a little Linux on there? How easy is it to program for? I want something that taps me every 15 minutes and asks if I’m doing something I want or doomscrolling.
