I had a fossil before I bought my Samsung, and it was a god awful mess. Barely functional, slow and honestly kind of ugly.
Still, a shame to lose more competitors.
Same, I had the Carlisle and it was a worthless piece of trash. It was painfully slow, and it would vibrate with a notification, but then there wouldn’t be any notification to be found. I eventually just stopped wearing it and figured I’d wait for the Pixel Watch to be released, but even then, knowing how horrible Google’s first attempts at hardware usually goes, I still waited an extra year for the Pixel Watch 2. So far I’ve been happy with it, and I’ll never buy another Fossil watch again.
I’ve had 4 Fossil watches over the past 30 years and they’ve all turned out to be garbage. Beautiful garbage.
Android 14 has finally made using my Pebble with the phone a bad option. I’m happy with the Garmin that I replaced it with.
What’s the problem? I’m not on Android 14 yet, but my quick search says the pebble app should work.
I love the look of fossil watches. Sorry to see them go!

Less competition means everyone loses. They made Wear OS better by existing.
Damn, i just bought one of their hybrid watches I hope this doesn’t mean an early EoL for it… I know the article spells out the wearOS models specifically, but if they kill off the hybrid line too that would spell the end of smart watches for me.
I like my Galaxy Watch, been holding up for over 3 years now
