The smart watch market just got another competitor. Fossil, Intel Innovation and Android Wear teamed up to release the Q Founder watch.
The new watch keeps tabs on your activity, links to apps and has customizable digital faces that allow you to personalize the watch to your tastes. The touchscreen display and separate stainless steel and leather bands make the watch fashionable and easy-to-wear while the Intel Innovation lets you know when you have an incoming call or text message, reminds you of appointments on your calendar, give you updates on your next flight and keeps your mind occupied with a weekly “curiosity” challenge. It will also track your steps and miles logged so you don’t have to wear a separate device to try to determine how active you are.
No need to fiddle with the watch as it can be used hands free with voice commands. The watch works with Android 4.4 and higher, iPhone 5 and above and has Bluetooth technology as well as a wireless charging base so you don’t have to take it off to keep it going — ideal when you are airport hopping. The Fossil Q Founder retails for $275–295.
