New Fossil Hybrid HR Neutra: more functions and longer lasting battery

Good news for all Fossil watch fans and smartwatch lovers. The latest generation Fossil Hybrid HR has even more useful and fun features, with an even longer battery life than its predecessor. And all that in the familiar Fossil 'packaging': stylish, tongue in cheek retro and super-functional.

What is a hybrid smartwatch?

When most people think of the word smartwatch, they think of a watch with a touchscreen, such as your smartphone. But it can also be done differently: a hybrid smartwatch is a real watch, with real hands that indicate the time, which contains smart functions under the dial. This way you have a 'normal' beautiful watch that is also smart.

The Fossil Hybrid HR Neutra also has a display on which you can receive notifications and read the results of your smart functions. The best of both worlds in a stylish watch.

Even longer battery life

When the Fossil Hybrid HR was first introduced, we were very enthusiastic about the smart application of an e-ink display (which you know from your e-reader) in a watch that is, at first sight, ordinary, but in fact is secretly very smart.

An e-ink screen is very easy to read - even in sunlight - and is energy efficient at the same time. The Fossil Hybrid HR will last (depending on how you use the smartwatch) up to 2 weeks on 1 charge! And if the battery is almost empty, you can charge the watch to 80% in less than an hour with the included fast charger.

What's new about the Fossil Hybrid HR Neutra?

Of course, the Neutra includes all the features you would expect from a smartwatch: heart rate monitor, pedometer, sleep monitor, notifications, and so on. In addition, Fossil has added a few nice new features:

Track your commute

With the Move Minutes function you can among other things, keep track of your daily commute time,. This feature keeps track of all your activities. The accelerometer counts your steps, and now also calculates the total number of minutes you are activein a day.

Earn points by exercising and keep your heart healthy

Heart Points registers the difference between light and intense activity. Google Fit assigns a heart point for every minute of movement that your watch identifies as moderate activity and 2 points for high intensity activity.

Challenge your friends

Connect challenge is a fun way to become more active together with other Hybrid users. Set yourself goals and challenge your friends.

"More every day wellness"

All Fossil smartwatches with multi-coloured heart rate monitors (green and red LEDs) now also have a Blood Oxygen function in the Wellness app (estimated SpO2). All these features are accessible through the Wellness watch app. You can now also set Sleep, Activity and Blood Oxygen as your preferred view on your display.

Customize your Neutra to your preferences

With the Fossil Hybrid HR App (compatible with Android™ OS 5.0+ and iOS 12.0+) you have access to all functions and you can set up your watch completely to your own preferences. Customize the display to your style with a choice of different backgrounds. Set the push buttons for the functions you use most, such as the weather forecast, your music and more…
