Razer and Fossil have teamed up to create a Gen 6 smartwatch

Razer and Fossil have collaborated to create a limited edition "X" variant of the Gen 6 smartwatch.

The Razer X Fossil Gen 6 smartwatch is an upgrade to the base model we reviewed last year, which brings some design changes and custom Razer Analog, Text, and Chroma watch faces to the wearable.

As a hardware, it stays pretty much the same, which in the experience of the Gen 6 review isn't a bad thing. The Gen 6 was the first portable device to be powered by the Snapdragon Wear 4100+ platform, which, based on our user experience, will provide users with noticeable improvements in speed and performance over old Wear OS watches.

According to Fossil, there is an overall 30% increase in performance, along with more efficient power consumption and better application load times.

The Razer X Gen 6 will run on Wear OS 3 from Google, following in the footsteps of the Fossil Gen 6 and Fossil Sport. Wear OS 3 will be eligible for an update in 2022, alongside other updates that are expected to help improve the overall user experience. Until the update arrives, it will continue to work on the older version of Wear OS.

In terms of design, the Razer X Gen 6 features a 44mm black case and three exclusive dials as well as elements of the Razer interface. The 1,28 inch touchscreen has 326 pixels per inch and is swim resistant up to 3 ATM.

It also comes with two custom-designed and interchangeable 22mm silicone straps, in black and iconic Razer green.

This laptop achieves an 80% charge after just 30 minutes of charging, according to Fossil, in an effort to track your sleep throughout the night and then quickly charge the watch in the morning.

The Razer X Gen 6 can track sleep history, monitor rest status, and set goals using Sleep Tile, so you can keep tabs on your sleep patterns.

Additionally, this wearable features an improved heart sensor that should allow continuous tracking and improved overall signal accuracy, as well as a new SpO2 sensor, which tracks an estimate of oxygen readings in the wearer's blood to see how well the body circulates oxygen throughout the day.

And as an added bonus, users will still be able to take advantage of wellness updates previously released by the Fossil Group, including cardio fitness level tracker that shows an estimate of VO2 max using the biometrics of the body. user and resting heart rate statistics to indicate overall cardiorespiratory health over time.
