Harry Wang, director of mobile and health products research at Dallas-based Parks Associates, said the digital fitness tracker is the fastest-growing category in the connected health device market, and Fitbit is the clear leader, with a more than 50 percent market share.

Wang said he believes that smartwatches will soon gain the lead over trackers, and that that may put Fossil in a good place.
