Fossil Releases Wear OS 3.5 Update for Gen 6 Smartwatches
Fossil, a renowned name in the smartwatch industry, is rolling out a new update for its Gen 6 smartwatches. However, it seems that the update falls short of the latest version 4 of Wear OS.
Wear OS 4 was launched over the summer and has already made its way to other smartwatches, such as the Galaxy Watch 6 series and Pixel Watch. With its expanded compatibility, users have been eagerly waiting for Fossil to introduce the highly anticipated version 4 to their devices.
Unfortunately, Fossil’s latest update brings version 3.5 of Wear OS to their smartwatches, leaving users slightly disappointed. With this minor update, users have reported only minor UI tweaks and some performance improvements, leaving them craving for more substantial changes.
However, it is not surprising that the update is relatively minor, as Wear OS 3.5 is just an incremental update on top of Wear OS 3, which was released last year. Fossil seems to be playing it safe with this update, potentially reserving more significant changes for future versions.
Despite the anticipation, some users have experienced issues with the Wear OS 3.5 update. Problems including boot looping, lengthy install times, and battery drain have been reported by several users. Acknowledging these issues, Fossil temporarily halted the update to address the reported problems.
Thankfully, the update has now resumed, although Fossil has not provided any official information regarding the fixes implemented. This lack of transparency has left users hoping that the reported issues have been adequately resolved.
As we look ahead, more updates on Wear OS are expected. Users eagerly await news on whether Fossil will introduce Wear OS 4 or a future version that will bring substantial changes and enhancements to their Gen 6 smartwatches.
