Fossil unveils new smartwatch

Fossil has revealed its latest hybrid smartwatch, which features physical watch hands and a circular always-on display.

While Fossil's previous hybrid watch, the Fossil Q Activist, could only show which apps were issuing notifications by using the watch's hands, the new Fossil Hybrid HR sports an e-ink screen that can display information such as weather, app notifications, and activity tracking.

You had me at 2 week battery life!

I had a smart watch before but gave it to my 8 year old kid as seriously I can't be bothered charging yet another device daily.

I had a Fossil Q hybrid smartwatch. I liked that it didn't need charging. Just replaced the battery every 5 to 6 months. And I loved the look. The step counter was terrible though.
