Razer gets its own limited-edition Fossil Gen 6 smartwatch for gamers

Complete with a Chroma watch face.

What you need to know

Fossil introduces a limited-edition Razer variant of its Gen 6 smartwatch.
The watch features engraved bands and exclusive Razer watch faces.
The Razer X Fossil Gen 6 Smartwatch launches this month for $329.
Only 1,337 units will be available for purchase.

Fossil is stepping out of its comfort zone to launch a new smartwatch in partnership with Razer. The new Razer X Fossil Gen 6 Smartwatch takes the best of the Fossil Gen 6 and adds some additional Razer flair that the companies hope will appeal to gamers and fans of Wear OS.

Off the bat, you won't find this smartwatch decked out in RGB Chroma lighting as one would hope. Instead, the Razer X Fossil Gen 6 features exclusive Razer watch faces, from a standard Analog with Razer branding to a Text watch face that spells out the current time.

The watch also has a Chroma watch face, which displays a colorful ring around the edge of the display. This watch face can be customized with four Razer Chroma RGB effects, whether you want a single color to match your gaming setup on some of the best Razer keyboards, or you prefer a myriad of hues.

The watch also comes with two custom-designed straps in Razer's signature black and bright green colors.

Beyond that, the watch is more or less the same Gen 6 smartwatch. It features the same 44mm case size with a 1.28-inch OLED display, 8GB of storage, 1GB of RAM, fast-charging capabilities, and Wear OS 2, all powered by the Snapdragon Wear 4100+. Fortunately, it will be among the best Wear OS watches to receive Wear OS 3 when it hits current devices sometime this year.

As far as partnerships go, it's a decent first start for Fossil, although we would like to see more opportunities come out of this and future collaborations, something that the company hopes to explore as well.

For now, interested parties will have to act fast if they want to grab one of these limited-edition smartwatches. Fossil says it's only making 1,337 units that will go on sale on January 10 for $329 at Fossil and Gamestop online stores.

More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
