Why You Can Trust CNET Put a Fossil Sport smartwatch on your wrist for just $99
Save $176 on a Google Wear smartwatch that includes NFC, GPS and water resistance to 5 atmospheres.
The Fossil Sport is now available for $99 is both sizes and many colors.
Google Wear smartwatches have been a little quiet lately -- there have been few splashy new watch releases and not a lot of excitement on the OS front. But even so, one of the cooler Google Wear options is the Fossil Sport, which combines a snazzy visual design with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 3100 chipset, integrated GPS and NFC , a full-time heart-rate monitor, and water resistance to 5 atmospheres. It also is among the lightest Google Wear watches ever to sit on a wrist. In other words, if I was going to exchange my Apple Watch Series 5 for an Android smartwatch, this one would be near the top of the list. And while it usually sells for $275, you can now get the Fossil Sport smartwatch for $99.
You can nab a Sport at this price at Best Buy or in the Fossil online store, though Amazon doesn't seem to have gotten the news, because it's still priced at $150 there. While we haven't reviewed it yet, you can read our initial impressions of the Fossil Sport.
There are two different sizes available -- 41mm and 43mm, so here's how to find the watch that's right for your wrist:
- Fossil Sport 41mm at Best Buy
- Fossil Sport 43mm at Best Buy
- Fossil Sport 41mm at Fossil
- Fossil Sport 43mm at Fossil
Not all colors are selling at the full discounted price. At Best Buy, it looks like you can get the watch in black, rose, blush or yellow for $99, but the model with the red band and accents is $258. At the Fossil site, there are 14 colors to choose from, though a few are already sold out (and refreshing the page to check each color is an infuriatingly slow process).
