    I'm abit gutted about this. I like the fossil smartwatches. I like the fact they look like a normal watch.
    Whats the best alternative?

    Nitpick time

    The article mentions Citizen as a sub-brand of Fossil, it is not. Citizen is part of the Citizen Watch Group along with Bulova, Frederique Constant, Alpina, Arnold & Son, Campanola.

    Citizen had a partnership including a licencing agreement with Fossil group to create hybrid watches.
