RICHARDSON, Texas, Nov. 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- It's time to meet Q Founder, the newest addition to Fossil's connected accessories line. Engineered with Intel® Innovation and powered by Android Wear, Q Founder tracks your activity, connects to your favorite apps, alerts you of your notifications and has customizable digital watch faces that are sure to fit your style.
With its stunning touchscreen display, refined steel and classic leather accents, Q Founder is an unassuming powerhouse. Q Founder will let you know when you have an incoming call or text message, notify you of upcoming appointments or even whether or not your flight is on time with smart Google Now cards and inspire you to get creative with a weekly curiosity challenge. And if you want to go hands free, it can also listen and respond to your commands via your voice.
"Technology is a major disruptor in many industries right now – even fashion. But to successfully merge the two, you need to have the fashion design expertise and focus on it first," said Jill Elliott-Sones, chief creative officer at Fossil. "What's most exciting about Q Founder is not only how it looks, but the true flexibility it offers our customers. Thanks to its ability to pair with both iOS and Android devices, and the personalization opportunities it brings, we're more accessible to more people, and able to complement even the most unique personal styles."
Q Founder features low power Intel® AtomTM processor that enables Android Wear, an operating system that's tailor-made for watches. It allows you to get the information you want, when you need it, on a watch that expresses your style and fits what you love to do.
Q Apps: With Android Wear and Fossil Q companion apps, you can receive display notifications, personalize your watch face, track your activity and cue your curiosity.
Q Customization: Make your watch face fit you. Choose from preloaded Fossil dials, customize your own or download additional ones.
Q Curiosity: Cue your curiosity! These notifications alert you that it's time to break free from routine, look from a different angle or try something new in your community. These activities will ignite a new perspective, open up your creativity and leave your brain feeling refreshed.
Tracking+ Notifications: With built-in activity tracking, you can keep track of all the steps, jumps and runs you take with your Q Founder. Notifications at a glance let you see who is calling, texting or emailing.
Q Founder is compatible with both Android phones and iPhones, and will be available on Nov. 25 starting at $275 in select Fossil stores and online.
Q Founder joins Fossil's fashionable connected accessories family – Fossil Q – which launched this fall. These devices showcase the design excellence, expert craftsmanship and bit of whimsy that defines Fossil – one of the world's leading accessory brands. Comprised of two types of connected watches (both display and nondisplay) and two styles of connected bracelets (one for men and one for women), there's something for everyone.
The entire line of connected accessories is engineered with Intel® Innovation and is compatible with Android™ 4.4 and higher, iPhone 5 and above (running iOS 8.2 and higher) and connects via Bluetooth technology. They also come with a wireless charging base for stress-free recharging.
