The model, marathoner,
entrepreneur and face of the Fossil
Sport Smartwatch talks inclusivity,
tech and style.

WHY FOSSIL? As someone who truly
cares about fitness and health, I was
really excited to partner with a brand
committed to bringing fashion and
technology together in a really
positive way. These watches are
designed for everyone, regardless of
their clothing size or athletic ability.
HOW HAS THE NEW FOSSIL
WATCH TECHNOLOGY HELPED
YOUR WORKOUTS? This watch
is truly state-of-the-art. Not only can
I track my heart rate, but I can
also understand how I’m responding
to my workouts. It’s such a
game-changer!
WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT TO
TRACK EXERCISE? We all like to
know how our body is responding to
workouts, and as a marathoner, it’s
more important than ever to track your
progress. I knew I felt stronger and
could run further, but seeing statistical
proof was the best motivator.

Five minutes with...

Track your heart rate
Keeping an eye on your heart rate is essential
for making sure you’re getting the most out of
your workout. The Sport Smartwatch tracks your
heart rate across all different kinds of exercise
programs when you use Google Fit. Your beats-
per-minute are available at a glance, and the
info can also be viewed in a user-friendly graph.
Get notified
For those who like to stay connected while they
sweat it out, emails, texts and calls are just a tap
or swipe away.
Get customised
From the colour of the silicone strap to the dial
and the information on the display, your Sport
Smartwatch can be totally customised. The
sleek, ultra-lightweight design comes in near-
endless colourways to match your mood or
your activewear. You can also download the
apps you use the most (think Uber for those
times you’ve run too far, or Google Maps for
easy directions or Spotify to keep you pumped).

TECHNICALLY SPEAKING
THE FOSSIL SPORT IS BUILT TO BE YOUR
GOAL-KICKING ACCOMPLICE. HERE’S
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

Track your movements
The Sport Smartwatch offers unthethered GPS
for those who love to hike, run, bike or simply
walk long distances — and find their way back
home without having to rely on breadcrumbs.
All the info is then compiled into a graph.
Swimmers will relish the swimproof function,
which keeps track of your laps via the
MySwimPro fitness app. The Sport Smartwatch
also has an extended battery life, power-save
mode and it can be charged in less than an hour
to last all day, so you’ll never miss a workout.
Google Pay
You can even pay for that cheeky post-run
muffin with your watch — just imagine how
comfortable it will be to run without that just-in-
case money tucked in your sock.
