Puma has launched smartwatches in the past, but it has just launched its first Google Wear OS powered device. The new device was made in partnership with Fossil and comes in three color options: black, yellow and rose gold. Naturally, as you would expect for a sporting company, the device is targeted directly at the fitness market.
The Puma Gen 4 Smartwatch, as it is officially known, is fitted with Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon Wear 3100 matched with 512 MB of RAM and 4 GB of onboard storage for tunes. It centers on a 1.19-inch circular OLED display enclosed in a 44mm case made from a combination of nylon and aluminum with a focus on reducing weight. The company succeeded as it weighs in at just 0.06 pounds made possible by some strategic cutouts in the chassis.
The Puma Gen 4 Smartwatch will retail for US$275 when it hits the market in November.

I have been writing about consumer technology over the past ten years, previously with the former MacNN and Electronista, and now Notebookcheck since 2017. My first computer was an Apple ][c and this sparked a passion for Apple, but also technology in general. In the past decade, I’ve become increasingly platform agnostic and love to get my hands on and explore as much technology as I can get my hand on. Whether it is Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, Linux, Nintendo, Xbox, or PlayStation, each has plenty to offer and has given me great joy exploring them all. I was drawn to writing about tech because I love learning about the latest devices and also sharing whatever insights my experience can bring to the site and its readership.
