August 02, 2025
While there’s still a noticeable lack of smartphone manufacturersworking with Wear OS, Fossil is still churning outWear OS watchesleft and right. The company’s latest smartwatch, theFossil Sport, is perhaps its most exciting launch in some time — that’s because it’s powered by Qualcomm’s newSnapdragon Wear 3100 chipset.
We’ve seen too manysmartwatchescome to market recently with Qualcomm’s two-year-old Snapdragon Wear 2100. Fossil’s own sub-brands are evenguiltyofthis. But the Sport runs on the new 3100 SoC, which should provide noticeable improvements in battery life and performance.
Fossil says the watch’s 350mAh battery will last upwards of 24 hours on a single charge, and there’s even a new battery saver mode that will supposedly eke out two extra days of battery life.
Under the hood, the Fossil Sport comes with a built-inheart rate sensor,GPS, andNFCfor payments with Google Pay. It’s also running therevamped Wear OSthat just started rolling outin September.
Finally, you’ll be looking at a 1.2-inch AMOLED display with a 390 x 390 resolution. This is pretty standard for Fossil smartwatches.
Interested? You can buy the Fossil Sport right now from Fossil.com for $255, or from Fossil retail stores beginning Monday, November 12. The watch comes in two sizes — 41 and 43mm — and six different color options.
I think Fossil is offering a pretty compelling package at this price point, especially considering the hardware and newer chipset. We’ll have a review unit inbound sometime soon, but for now, what do you think?
