Fossil

Fossil is an American accessories brand whose range covers analogue watches, leather wallets, bags and fashion jewellery, often with a vintage-inspired look. Leather goods are a significant part of the offer, including bifold wallets, card cases, crossbody bags, totes and messenger bags, often with RFID-blocking options in wallets. In January 2024 Fossil Group announced it would exit the smartwatch market, with the Gen 6 as its final Wear OS generation, and refocus on traditional watches, jewellery and leather goods; existing smartwatch owners were told support would continue for a limited period. The brand sells through its own stores and website, department stores and outlets. Shoppers wanting mid-priced leather accessories and gift-friendly watches are its core audience. Anyone considering a remaining Fossil smartwatch should weigh the limited software support window, and buyers of leather goods should check whether items use genuine or alternative leather.
