The functionality of Google Assistant on Fossil Gen 6 watches will be familiar to users of either Google or Samsung smartwatches. Users can activate the AI assistant by saying “hey Google,” holding a button, or tapping a complication on the watch face. This feature allows users to respond to text messages, control music playback, and perform other tasks that typically require a smartphone. Unlike some alternatives, Fossil’s implementation also includes support for Amazon’s Alexa, giving users the flexibility to choose between the two ecosystems when issuing voice commands.
