Fossil Q Explorist Gen 3 review: The Wear OS fashionista

Smartwatches are in an interesting place at the moment. We’ve seen Google’s wrist-worn operating system change name from Android Wear to Wear OS in a bid not to put off iPhone users from adopting it. And over a fairly long period of time we’ve also seen fashion brands take over from traditional tech manufacturers.

Today, therefore, in the world of Wear OS, you’re more likely to find a smartwatch made by Diesel, Michael Kors, Skagen or Fossil, than you are to find one made by Motorola or LG. Which is exactly where the third-generation Fossil Q fits into the mix.
