The smartwatch market can get a little boring from time to time. Wearable hardware doesn't progress as quickly as smartphone hardware, so new smartwatches can feel iterative. That's why I'm excited for Diesel's new Fadelite smartwatch.
Just look at this thing. All four colors of the Diesel Fadelite come with different levels of transparency in both the case and the straps. The all-clear model (above) is my favorite. It doesn't even look like a smartwatch, which I love.
For those not all-in on the fully transparent look, the Diesel Fadelite comes in three other colors: blue to clear, black to clear, and red to clear.
Diesel is attempting to make this smartwatch appeal to men and women, unlike the company's Axial smartwatch that was really only marketed towards men. The Fadelite has a 43mm case, so it should look better on people with smaller wrists.
Despite the Fadelite having the upgraded Snapdragon Wear 3100 SoC, I'm a little concerned about its internals. It only has 512MB of RAM (half that of other well-performing Wear OS watches) and just 4GB of onboard storage for music and apps. This is a bummer considering the Fadelite's price tag and the fact that Fossil and its partner brands have launched other watches with better specs. We'll have to wait and see if performance takes a hit because of that low RAM amount.
Elsewhere, the Diesel Fadelite comes with a built-in GPS, heart rate sensor, NFC for Google Pay, and a redesigned globe dial that allows you to see two additional time zones.
Interested? You'll be able to buy the Diesel On Fadelite from Diesel stores, diesel.com, and other retailers in March 2019 for $275.
