Fossil’s launches Q Motion

Watch and accessories company Fossil has updated its Q series of wearables with a new device dubbed as Q Motion. The Q Motion is a slim, cylindrical tracker and it is the company’s first that will track sleep in addition to activity.

The other wearables by Fossil like the Q Founder smartwatch, the non-display Q Grant watch, and the Q Reveler tracker do not track how much sleep you get. The Q Motion is the first Fossil wearable that will track how much sleep you get in addition to activity.

The Q Motion is the first device that has been launched since the acquisition of Misfit. The Q Motion looks very similar to the Misfit Ray. They both share a cylinder module in the middle. Both track activity and sleep, and both have vibration motors and small LEDs on the module that blink when you receive notifications.

While the Misfit Ray only receives text, call, and alarm alerts, Fossil’s wearable will be able to filter the notifications you receive on the device via its Android and iOS app just like other Q wearables.

The Q Motion, unlike Misfit Ray, can’t be worn as a pendant. The latter also has “smart tap,” which lets you set the band to do quick one-tap smart button functions, like change music tracks on your phone, or act as a selfie remote for its camera. The Q Motion comes with a coin-cell battery and it will lasts 6 Months and it is water resistant up to 50 meters (164 feet).
