Fossil Gen 5 Julianna
Fossil Gen 5 Julianna
Fossil has always been about fashion watches, which makes the Julianna, its latest smartwatch aimed at women, one of the most fashionable yet. But Julianna stands out for more than looks. It's built on the same modern platform as the Fossil Sport but has even more features. In addition to being waterproof and supporting 24/7 heart-rate monitoring, there's also GPS for tracking runs and a versatile digital crown for easy scrolling.
Then there are the features you'll barely see anywhere else in the Wear OS ecosystem: a built-in speaker for taking phone calls when connected to an Android device or iPhone, as well as an improved battery that provides up to three days of moderate usage. Finally, the 1GB of RAM ensures the fastest performance in the Wear OS ecosystem. (Fossil also has a Gen 5 smartwatch aimed at men called the Carlyle.)
It's not cheap, but the Julianna is one of the best Android smartwatch options out there.
Pros:
• Fashionable andfunctional
• Excellent performance thanks to 1GB of RAM onboard
• Able to take phone calls with built-in speaker
• Supports any 22mm watch band
• Outstanding battery life for a Wear OS watch
Cons:
• Expensive
