The app update, which was released last month alongside the Fossil Gen 6 Hybrid watch, drew quite a bit of backlash. This was because it lacked several features and removed a number of customization options from the app. Fossil has now published a post on Reddit explaining why a major update to both the phone app and the watch interface was necessary in the first place. According to the company, the complete redesign of the application is better in terms of support for the watch, which will receive an update this year with Wear OS 3, and will also facilitate the implementation of feedback, thus simplifying the transition to the new system. The old user interface was considered unintuitive, as the chaotic combination of vertical and horizontal scrolling was said to require "a lot of learning".
