    Today, Fossil debuted their first Android Wear smartwatch, the Q Founder, along with three fitness trackers. The Q Founder is the first smartwatch to use an Intel SoC, while finer technical details have yet to be unveiled other than what can be discerned by examining photos: it has a circular display with a slight 'flat tyre' shape to accommodate an ambient light sensor, unlike the Huawei Watch. Perhaps more striking is the Q Grant, strictly speaking a fitness tracker, which looks just like the regular Grant series, except it hosts a bevy of sensors, haptic feedback, and two LEDs that will light up in different colours depending on the notification. The Q Founder will cost $275, the Q Grant $175 - $195, while the Q Reveler and Q Dreamer, Fossil's two smartbands, will both set you back $125. The Q Founder's cosmetic options are limited: black watch face with black metal band or silver watch face with silver metal band or brown leather band. The Q Grant is a bit more varied: silver watch face with brown band, gold watch face with beige band, black watch face with black band and a black watch face with silver band.
