Following the likes of Tory Burch, Misfit and Huawei, the yet to be launched Fossil Q Motion wearable is a stylish take on tracking, and is also an affordable option. Expected to be showcased at the upcoming SXSW festival, the fitness tracker from the watchmaker brand is turning heads prematurely due to its lower price tag. Scheduled to go on sale this summer, the wristband will be available for less than $100.
The Fossil Q Motion is compatible with both Android and iOS devices to monitor sleep and physical activity. It does not have a screen, but can send you notifications through a blinking light and vibrations. Using the accompanying app, you can customize which of your phone's apps will be able to alert the device. The wearable tech also acts as a button you can use to play music, remotely snap photos, locate your phone and more.
