Fossil, along with its Razer x Fossil Gen 6 smartwatch, took the wraps off its Skagen Falster Gen 6 smartwatch at the recently concluded CES 2022. The Skagen Falster Gen 6 boasts a similar design as its predecessors, albeit with minor improvements. For those not in the know, Skagen is a Danish watch brand that was acquired by Fossil in 2012. Fossil still continues to sell products under its original brand name.
Skagen Falster Gen 6 Features, Specifications
The Falster 6 is slightly smaller at a 41mm dial size when compared to the Falster 3, which came with a 42mm dial size. The watch sports a 1.28-inch AMOLED display, which should be legible under direct sunlight and also more energy-efficient than LCDs.

The watch lets you make and receive calls owing to the speaker and microphone on board. You can enjoy your favourite music via Spotify or YouTube Music right on the watch itself.

The Skagen Falster Gen 6 gets NFC support and Bluetooth 5.0 LE for wireless communication between your smartphone/tablet and the watch. It packs in a 310mAh battery pack under its hood, which is unchanged from the previous model.
The Falster Gen 6 comes with a mesh-type 20mm band, which is apparently the prime reason why people love the brand. The watch runs on Wear OS 2 out of the box but will be eligible for the latest Wear OS 3 later.
