The Fossil Gen 5 smartwatch is the best Wear OS device you can buy right now, even if that isn't a terribly high bar to climb. However, the original $295 pricetag made it a difficult recommendation, especially when Samsung's Galaxy Watch Active was $100 less. Now the tables have turned — the new Watch Active2 costs $300, and now the Fossil Gen 5 is just $169.00.

The Fossil Gen 5 smartwatch has nearly every feature that Google's Wear OS platform can support, with the exception of LTE. It has NFC for Google Pay, a heart rate sensor, built-in GPS, an ambient light sensor for automatic brightness, a fully-circular 1.28-inch AMOED screen, and water resistance up to 30 meters underwater. It even has a built-in speaker, so you can hear Google Assistant and take calls (it's also the only Wear OS watch right now that can answer calls on iOS).

The Fossil Gen 5 is also far less prone to bugs and performance issues than other watches, thanks to its 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage — most other watches have 500-700MB RAM and 4GB storage. You can read more about the watch in our review.
