The biggest feature in Fossil’s-Q Motion? It can track your sleep. Sleep tracking is feature most activity-trackers have offered for a while, and while-Fossil is playing catch-up, the Q Motion still offers a new feature that makes it stand out from Fossil’s previous activity trackers: smart tap. Related: Fossil’s Q Founder runs Android Wear, but its other new wearables are fitness trackers Tapping Fossil’s-Q Motion will let you gain quick access to certain functions on your phone, and the company lists playing music, finding your phone, or taking “that perfect selfie,” as a few. It’s likely that you have to set taps up with the Fossil Q App, but we’ve reached out to Fossil to clarify and we’ll-update when we hear back. Keep in mind that Fossil now owns Misfit, a-wearable company with a-focus on design. Misfit launched the Link last year, which was a button you could tap to execute certain functions, like take a picture or as a presentation slide remote. That technology was ported to its other devices, and it’s likely that it’s the same tech powering the Q Motion. It’s also quite similar to Misfit’s recently announced Misfit Ray, which also had interchangeable straps and a cylindrical design. It looks like there will be several color options to choose from, for the strap and the metal cylinder, but the company hasn’t offered any additional details.

The Q Motion has a coin cell battery that will keep it charged for six months, and the device is water resistant up to 50 meters. It will be available this summer for $95.
