 WELCOME TO YOUR NEW SMARTWATCH

All Fossil smartwatches help users stay

connected by receiving messages, calls and
notifications on the go while connected to
their smartphone device.

Our LTE enabled devices give users the

freedom to go one step further by providing
these features even when their smartphone
is turned off or they don’t have it with them.
PAIRING & SETUP
COMPATIBILITY
To unlock the untethered cellular experience,
consumers need three things:

FOSSIL GEN 5 LTE TOUCHSCREEN

SMARTWATCH
An LTE enabled Wear OS by Google device

AN ANDROID SMARTPHONE
This eSIM and LTE functionality are only
available when paired with an Android device.

A VERIZON DATA PLAN THAT IS

COMPATIBLE WITH WEAR OS BY GOOGLE
Not all mobile carriers support Wear OS by
Google cellular connectivity, so consumers
should utilize the Verizon network and
confirm service availability.

THINGS TO REMEMBER

When it comes to messaging using the LTE functionality, users should assume:

● Watch will share the phone number of the paired phone for voice call and messaging (i.e. twinning, number
sharing).

● SMS/MMS will always be routed through the phone and must have network connectivity.

● Android Messages must be the default messaging app on the phone to initiate messages on the watch. Carrier and
OEM messaging apps are not supported.

● User has permissions to add/modify cellular service plans: post-paid, consumer accounts only.

● The watch cellular operator will be the same as the paired phone operator.

● Android phones only are supported at this time.

● eSIM profiles will be managed using Wear OS Local Profile Assistant (LPA).
