Fossil just released the fourth-generation of its Fossil Q lineup and offers some features other traditional-looking smartwatches don’t have yet. The new Fossil Q line comes with Google Pay support, heart-rate monitor, and standalone GPS. The Q Venture HR and Q Explorist HR are priced between $335 and $365 and come with different band and color options. Some are available for pre-order, while others are on sale already over at Fossil’s site.

The Q Venture HR comes with a 40mm stainless steel casing, while the Explorist HR has a larger 45mm case. And while you get new features, unfortunately, you’re stuck with the two-year-old Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 2100 chip. If that doesn’t bother you and you still want to try out a Wear OS watch, you can check these out now.
