Despite all the updates, the focus of the Fossil's new watch is on fashion and not technology. The Fossil Q series may be a range of wearable but no less than an accessory.

Luxury watch brands that were once afraid of the Smartwatch have begun to embrace the wearables line. Smartwatches are after all watches that have been modeled on watches around the IoT. Traditional watch companies are capitalizing on this trend of smartwatches that are becoming popular.
