  • Die nunmehr 5. Generation der Julianna HR nutzt alle Vorteile von Wear OS und hat einen Pulsmesser integriert. Die Schlafanalyse fehlt jedoch immer noch – schade. Dafür trägt und bedient sich die Uhr gut, auch wenn sie für dünne Arme etwas zu klobig sein...

  • Mooi design, Snelle reactietijd, Uitgebreid apps-aanbod
  • Lage accuduur, Beperkte sportmogelijkheden
  • Ten opzichte van alle andere Wear OS-smartwatches, is de Fossil Gen 5 een stap in de goede richting. Naast het mooie design dat eruitziet als een klassiek horloge, zorgde Fossil ervoor dat alles op deze Gen 5 vlotter verloopt. Apps openen vlot en animatie...

  • Draagcomfort, Geschikt om mee te bellen, Fraai ontwerp
  • Accuduur bij normaal gebruik, Beperkte hartslagmeter, Prijzig, Te veel accubesparende modi, Wear OS nu en straks
