Fossil had recently announced that it would exit the Wear OS smartwatch market, though it would keep its existing Wear OS watches updated for the “next few years.”
The company recently held a stock clearance sale, and all of its smartwatches are now sold out.
You can no longer officially buy a Fossil smartwatch with Wear OS, completing the company’s exit from the market.
Apple has cornered the smartwatch market with watches like the Apple Watch Series 9, and Google had some catching up to do with Wear OS. Before the Pixel Watch and the OnePlus Watch 2 came along, Fossil had been holding down the fort with its lineup of great Wear OS smartwatches, providing Android users with some competitive options. Unfortunately, Fossil recently announced its decision to quit the smartwatch market, and now that time has come.
As spotted by DroidLife, you can no longer officially purchase a Wear OS smartwatch from Fossil. Recently, Fossil had a stock clearing sale, with their Wear OS smartwatches dropping down to $79 (with the known caveat that the company is exiting the market). And now that the stock has cleared, they no longer have any Wear OS smartwatches or hybrid smartwatches on sale.
