Google invests in Fossil technology

It is expected that Google will launch on the market, probably between 2019 and 2020, a range of products that will be based on this Fossil technology. For now, it is not known specifically what this technology that the company was developing consists of. But it is clear that those of Mountain View have shown much interest in it. Since they want to incorporate it into a whole range.

Fossil is one of the most important brands in this segment of smartwatches. In addition, the firm makes use of Wear OS in its watches, which is the Android-based operating system. So the union makes sense in part.

For now we do not have approximate dates on the launch of these products. In addition, Fossil will also launch products based on it. So it will be interesting to see all that Google and the watch firm have to offer in this regard. We hope to know more about the application of this technology soon.
