It also doesn't carry MIL-STD-810G certification for shock protection. However, it still lacks an IP rating like the Samsung Galaxy Watch4 (IP68), so it isn’t technically waterproof. The Falster Gen 6 is rated for use at up to 5ATMs, which is better than the Fossil Gen 6's rating of 3 ATMs. The watch also supports Bluetooth 5.0, Wi-Fi, and NFC for Google Pay payments. It integrates heart rate, blood oxygen, IR presence, and ambient light sensors, along with an accelerometer, an altimeter, a compass, and a gyroscope.
The watch uses the same internal components as the Fossil Gen 6, including a Snapdragon Wear 4100+ processor, 1GB of RAM, and 8GB of storage. This discrepancy made securing the watch around my wrist a chore, because it forced me to use my finger to align the pin with the hole rather than just use the ridges as guides. The outside of the strap is smooth, but the inside is covered with horizontal ridges that are about the same (but not exactly the same) distance apart as the width between the holes for the buckle. My test unit came with the black silicone strap, which I found to be strangely frustrating to use.

Ultimately, the Samsung Galaxy Watch4 ($249.99) remains our Editors’ Choice among Android-compatible smartwatches for its more polished UI and advanced biometric features, while the $399 Apple Watch Series 7 is our top pick overall. It's one of the sleekest smartwatches on the market, though like the Razer X Fossil Gen 6, it's held back by unimpressive battery life and Google's uneven Wear OS platform. Its latest smartwatch, the $295 Falster Gen 6, closely resembles one of Fossil’s latest models, the Gen 6 (we reviewed the $329 model made in conjuction with gaming company Razer), packing most of the same hardware and features into a smaller and simpler case.
Skagen is a subsidiary of Fossil that makes watches with Danish-inspired aesthetics (despite being based out of Texas).
