After launching the Skagen Falster Gen 6 and Razer x Fossil limited edition smartwatches earlier this year, Fossil has now announced two new smartwatches as part of its new Gen 6 Hybrid range. The new Fossil Gen 6 Hybrid smartwatches feature SpO2 tracking and Amazon Alexa support, along with other fitness tracking features.

According to a recent report from Android Authority, the new Fossil Gen 6 Hybrid range includes two designs -- Machine and Stella. The Gen 6 Hybrid Machine comes in a single 45mm size variant with three color options -- Black, Silver, and Smoke. On the other hand, the Gen 6 Hybrid Stella features a smaller 40.5mm case and three colorways -- Rose Gold, Silver, and Two-tone. Both models include interchangeable bands, with the Machine supporting 24mm bands and the Stella supporting 18mm bands.

As mentioned earlier, the watches also feature Amazon Alexa support and come with a built-in microphone to help users interact with the digital assistant.

Along with the new smartwatches, Fossil has also released a revamped version of its smartwatch companion app -- Fossil Smartwatches.
