On top of that, lots of sensors are included such as Heart Rate monitor, NFC, GPS, Altimeter, Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Ambient Light, and also a Microphone. New additions such as NFC and GPS will allow users to make contactless payments as well as track workouts without the need of a smartphone. However, it should be noted that NFC payments will not work with Fossil units in Malaysia. This is due to the fact that it is exclusively compatible with Google Pay, which isn’t available in the country. The new lineup is compatible with both Android and iOS devices running on versions 4.4+ and 9.3+ respectively. Fossil stated that its new devices will be able to last 24+ hours on a single charge. However, this duration will ultimately be based on your usage. Also, it can be juiced up within an hour via a magnetic charger.

Pricing and Availability

When it comes to pricing, the new Fossil Q lineup retails from RM 1,244 to RM 1,272. The pricing will vary based on the model and the material that you’ll opt in for.
