Fossil and Razer collaborate at CES to launch a limited-edition smartwatch for gamers.

The Razer X Fossil Gen 6 is a limited-edition smartwatch launched by Fossil and Razer at CES 2022, leveraging Fossil's most innovative smartwatch platform to date and featuring three exclusive Razer watch faces.

The Razer X Fossil Gen 6 will be available this month in a limited edition of 1,337 units.

Will it earn a spot among the best smartwatches on the market today? Let's take a closer look at what this collaboration has to offer.

The Fossil Gen 6 is the first smartwatch to be powered by the Snapdragon Wear4100+ Platform, which improves speed and performance by allowing for faster application load times, more responsive user experiences, and more efficient power consumption.

The Razer X Fossil Gen 6 smartwatch also has top wellness features, reinforcing both brands' commitment to well-being. It comes just a few months after Razer's dedicated wellness initiative for gamers, Champions Start From Within, was launched.

The sleek smartwatch has a black 44mm case, three exclusive watch faces, and Razer user interface elements. It also comes with two 22mm silicone straps that are custom-designed and interchangeable.

The following wellness features are available on the Razer X Fossil Gen 6 smartwatch:

Sleep tracking and faster battery charging

To make the most of your time, take advantage of the shorter charging time and extended battery life. Track your sleep, monitor your restfulness, and set sleep goals in the Sleep Tile, then charge the smartwatch quickly before your day begins.

How quickly are we speaking? In just over 30 minutes of charging, the smartwatch reaches an 80 percent charge.

Sensors for Health and Wellness Have Been Improved

The Gen 6 has a new heart rate sensor that allows for continuous tracking and better signal accuracy. You'll also benefit from the new SpO2 sensor, which tracks an estimate of your blood oxygen measurements over time to see how well your body circulates oxygen.

You can also expect Cardio Fitness Level tracking in the future, which shows an estimation of VO2 max based on resting heart rate and user biometrics to indicate overall cardiorespiratory health over time.

Hands-Free Wellness Monitoring

The Razer X Fossil Gen 6 will assist you in tracking your wellness objectives, whether you check your heart rate throughout the day, take a moment to reset with a guided breathing session, or schedule a daily walk.

Furthermore, hands-free notifications and tethered calls with the built-in microphone keep you connected without having to pause your day or game.
