New Delhi: Skagen on Monday refreshed its wearables line in India with the Skagen Falster Gen 6 Smartwatch. Initially announced in August 2021, the Skagen Falster Gen 6 is the first smartwatch powered by the Snapdragon Wear 4100+ Platform. Skagen Falster Gen 6 Smartwatch will be available in five styles in 42-mm case size, including silver-tone, charcoal, and black case colour options.
The styles launch on straps made with the brand’s stainless steel mesh, silicone and leather, and are also compatible with all 20-mm straps and bracelets for added customisation. Each style will retail in the country for Rs 21,995. At this price point, the Skagen Falster Gen 6 smartwatches with Wear OS compete with the likes of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 and some Apple Watch Series models.
“Following the highly-anticipated launch of Fossil and Michael Kors Gen 6 smartwatches last fall, we are proud to bring our latest technology to the Skagen customer. At Fossil Group, we always strive to deliver premier performance and innovations, working with Wear OS by Google and Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., while also delivering personalised style for our design-conscious consumers from the brands they love,” Steve Evans, Fossil Group EVP Chief Brand Officer, said in a statement.
