The next evolution of hybrid smartwatches has arrived. Fossil’s industry-leading Hybrid HR line launches with always-on display, heart rate tracking and an astounding 2+ weeks of battery life on a single charge—all beautifully packaged in the classic styling of a traditional watch.
Hybrid HR makes it easy to see the information you want, when you want it—no waking, no swiping. Thanks to a new power-efficient, always-on display, notifications like incoming text messages, weather updates, and wellness stats like heart rate and step count are accessible at a glance.
“We are so excited to bring to market this version of hybrid that adds features like heart rate tracking and an always-on read-out display to make notifications easier to see—two big unlocks for our customers,” says Steve Evans, EVP Fossil. “They want to stay connected while enhancing their personal style and these new hybrid smartwatches do both. We pride ourselves on being innovators in the fashion watch space, and we believe that the hybrid smartwatch is the future of fashion watches.”
