Fossil, which has been pumping out near countless smart and hybrid watches since
2015, is adding two more models to its lineup today. The new Q Neely and Q Jacqueline are the smallest hybrid watches in Fossil’s lineup, and feature case sizes of just 36mm. They are based off of Fossil’s most popular women’s watch designs and are available on October 22nd starting at $155.
The Q Neely and Q Jacqueline don’t differ much in functionality from their predecessors -- they’re still analog watches with basic fitness tracking and notification support. Either watch will count steps, track sleep, buzz when you get a notification on your phone, and of course provide the current time. The three buttons on the side of either watch can be configured to bring up the date, control music playback on a phone, take a picture with the phone’s camera, and more. A dial on the inside of the watch face shows how close to a step count goal you are. But there’s no confusing these simpler, connected watches with a full touchscreen smartwatch. https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2017/10/17/16473024/fossils-q-neely-jacqueline-hybrid-connected-watches
