Diesel Griffed Gen 6 smartwatch launches with Wear OS 3

It was in late August 2021 that the American company Fossil unveiled a new series of smartwatches called Fossil Gen 6. A few months later, in early 2022, two more watches from the same series were announced, the Razer X Fossil and the Skagen Falster. These watches, unlike the previous Fossil Gen 6 members, came with the updated Wear OS 3 operating system. We recently learned that on Tuesday, November 15, 2022, Fossil unveiled another smartwatch with the Wear OS 3 operating system, which, of course, is a sub-brand product of this company, Diesel. This smartwatch is called Diesel Griffed Gen 6 and as its name suggests, it is designed based on the Fossil Gen 6 platform.

Appearance and specification

The case of the new Diesel watch is made of stainless steel. It is 45.5 mm wide and the construction thickness is 13.8 mm. As you can see from the dimensions, the watch is not the smallest. I would even say that it looks very solid.

There is a large bezel around the screen. On the right edge of the device, we have two function buttons and a large, rotating crown between them. The smartwatch will come in 4 versions, with straps made of metal, leather, or nylon. It must be admitted that the design of the device is typically masculine.

Diesel's new smartwatch has received a water resistance rating of 3 ATM, which means it can survive immersion in water up to a depth of 30 meters. The manufacturer has equipped the device with a display made in AMOLED technology.

The driving force behind the manufacturer's latest smartwatch is the Snapdragon Wear 4100+ processor, which is supported by 1 GB of RAM. The watch offers 8 GB of built-in internal memory.

In addition, Griffin Gen 6 is equipped with a GPS module, Bluetooth 5 LE, Wi-Fi, NFC with Google Wallet support, and fast charging, thanks to which the user can charge the battery from zero to 80% in just 30 minutes. The device runs on the Wear OS 3 system. The manufacturer has placed sensors in the watch, thanks to which users can monitor blood oxygen levels, heart rate, sleep, and stress levels.
