At this year’s Intel Developer Forum, Fossil has taken the opportunity to introduce a range of new wearable devices, including a basic phone-connected watch, a connected bracelet, and a full-blown Android Wear smartwatch.

The article from Android Authority

The watchmaker to took the stage at Intel’s Developer Conference to show off three new wearable devices, actually: a fitness band of sorts, a semi-smart watch, and a full-fledged smartwatch that is powered by Android Wear and will be the first of its kind to utilize an Intel processor onboard.

That flat tyre is so disgusting.  What's Fossil thinking, adding something that horrible?  Though I'm glad to see that it's powered by Intel, since I haven't seen a smartwatch powered by them.

 

I can't help but wonder how hot those smartwatches will be if they're powered by AMD...

It said "...images are always appreciated, although they are not required." But you're right about the quotes.

It's completely blown out of proportion. Also if you're the least bit worried about data gathering then you should go live in a cave a 1000Km from the nearest establishment simply because every device and every entity gathers information these days. In the current era privacy is just fallacy and nothing more.

Intel powered smartwatch sounds cool, but the Fossil one looks worse than the Moto 360. I didn't even think that was possible. Now though, if TAG Heuer made one, oh baby.

 

Just think if we could have a smartwatch that looked like this.

People like me on a mobile device (and even on desktop) would appreciate pictures. Don't wanna load two more pages just to see how the watch looks.
