This will be the latest version of the Fossil Gen series, so the features must be updated than the previous one. So, let&#8217;s see the probable features of Fossil Gen 7.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Design\"><\/span><b>Design:<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fossil Gen 6 has an elegant, classy and stylish design with Stainless steel body. We can expect that in Fossil Gen 7 also. The straps are also adjustable and customizable. You can choose silicone or leather straps. The attractive look that every Fossil Gen smartwatch has will be present in Fossil Gen 7 for sure.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Display\"><\/span><b>Display:<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, it&#8217;s on display.\u00a0 The previous model has 1.28 inches 326 PPI 416\u00d7416 pixels AMOLED display. So, we can expect a larger display with greater pixel quality. Though the previous one&#8217;s display was quite good.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Advanced_sensors\"><\/span><b>Advanced sensors:<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Fossil Gen 6 has a whole bunch of new and advanced features and sensors. So Fossil Gen 7 will also have those and even more. Heart rate monitor, SpO2 monitor, compass, gyroscope, altimeter, accelerometer and pedometer will be present in the Fossil Gen 7 for sure. Other than that various sports modes like running, cycling, walking, etc will be present as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Water_resistivity\"><\/span><b>Water resistivity:<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Fossil Gen 6 has 3 ATM water resistivity which was sweatproof, splash-proof and rainproof, but it was not for swimming and showering. So, we can expect at least 5 ATM water resistivity, which can be ideal for swimming and showering as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Software_Storage_and_connectivity\"><\/span><b>Software, Storage and connectivity:<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Fossil Gen 6 has Wear OS 2, so we can expect Wear OS 3 for sure in the Fossil Gen 7. The CPU will be at least Snapdragon 5100.\u00a0 The previous model has 1 GB RAM, 8 GB storage,\u00a0 so we can expect expanded storage also in Fossil Gen 7. It will also have Bluetooth 5.0, NFC, GPS and WiFi connectivity as well. We can connect your Android as well as Apple smartphones with it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Battery\"><\/span><b>Battery:<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fossil Gen 6 has a 300 mAh battery, which was very good for this type of smartwatch. Fossil Gen 7 will be a pro version of Fossil Gen 6, so we can expect a 350 to 400 mAh battery that can last at least 1 month in a single full charge.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, these are some expected specifications and features that may be present in Fossil Gen 7. The exact specifications for the Fossil Gen 7 will be confirmed only after launching it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Things_that_you_will_get_in_Fossil_Gen_7\"><\/span><b>Things that you will get in Fossil Gen 7-<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are some specific features that you will get to see in Fossil Gen 7. These features are generally the same as other previous models, so you will get in the next one also.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The case material is made of stainless steel, which is very durable and classy looking.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Good build quality with buttons that are long-lasting and easy to use.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bright and clear AMOLED display.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fast charging ability.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity to connect your smartphone with it.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last but not least, the affordable price.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Things_that_should_be_improved\"><\/span><b>Things that should be improved-<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Though Fossil is a remarkable brand, the previous model Fossil Gen 6 has some cons, that they should improve in the upcoming model.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The price was not justified for the features they gave, especially in comparison to Galaxy Watch4.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The battery life was really poor, even though you don&#8217;t use any smart features.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3 ATM water resistivity is now quite backdated, they need to improve that.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These are some points that they should improve in the new model. These points are something that was not so good in Fossil Gen 6. We can hope that these problems will be solved in the Fossil Gen 7.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Expected_price\"><\/span><b>Expected price-<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The last model, Fossil Gen 6 was launched for 299 USD. So, we can expect that the price of the next model Fossil Gen 7 will be around 350 to 399 USD.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Anticipated_Release_Date\"><\/span><strong>The Anticipated Release Date<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Historically, Fossil has been known to launch a new generation of smartwatches annually, often in August. Given this trend, and considering the recent leaks and approvals, we can expect the Fossil Gen 7 smartwatches to be announced sometime soon. However, an exact date remains a mystery.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><b>Conclusion-<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fossil is a great brand in smartwatches and watches, so people trust this brand.
