Fossil Group has announced its exit from the smartwatch business, indicating a shift in focus towards traditional watches and accessories. The company will continue to support its existing Wear OS smartwatches with updates for the next few years. This decision comes after Fossil's struggle to compete in the smartwatch market, with the company's smartwatches representing only 2% of the market. The move signifies a significant shift in the Wear OS ecosystem, with Samsung and Google preparing Wear OS 5 based on Android 14, while Fossil, once a major player in the Wear OS smartwatch market, has officially ceased production of smartwatches.
