The amount they have paid Google to get Wear OS from Fossil Group is $ 40 millionAnd with this purchase that adds a technology for smart watches in development, the Mountain View firm wants to compete with the Tizen or even with the watchOS of the Apple Watch.
The truth is that there are not many details of the following Fossil watches and now with this purchase by Google it seems that the thing will continue in secret. In this case also They have taken a large part of the team that was working on the development of this new technology so more news of her is expected soon.
Google wants to stand up to Apple
It is evident that the great sales of the Cupertino guys in terms of the Apple Watch Series 4 smartwatches launched last 2018 are awakening again to the competition that wants to stimulate their sales again. What we are not so clear about is that they achieve it and it is that from the beginning Apple was "late" to launch its smartwatch but today it is the company that sells the most watches.
The truth is that in part we want there to be direct competition with Apple in this market segment since in this way we will innovate more in the next devices. For now, the purchase is not an important step, but the development of the technology in which the Fossil Group is working is expected to improve the OS and therefore we do not rule out interesting news in the competition for the Apple Watch soon.
