WEARABLES
[ Wo rd s Michael Sawh & Kieran Alger ]Diesel On Fadelite
Diesel doesn’t do low-key dumb watches and the
Fadelite is proof of that. This 43mm-sized smartwatch
comes in four different colours that fade to transparent
along the strap, with the fully see-through case/strap
combo the clear (sorry) standout option in the collection.
Google’s Wear OS brings the latest available smarts to a
range of designs that feel much more unisex than Diesel’s
previous generation of wearables.
