At the end of November, Fossil's Q Founder saw itself earn a page on the Google Store with the dreaded ‘coming soon' label. Anytime that label is used, people worry and assume a release is a month or more away. But the Q Founder is now ready to be purchased and shipped out to customers. The Q smartwatch will leave the Google Store warehouse in 1-2 business days.

There are two models of the Q Founder being offered, but only one of them can be ordered at the moment. The model with the brown leather band, which costs $275, is still listed as ‘coming soon.' Fortunately, the all-stainless steel model can be purchased for $295. The Q Founder looks the part and the prices seem very attractive. Smartwatches from Huawei, Samsung, and other companies cost at least $50-$100 more.

The only area that might be of concern for prospective buyers is size as the Q Founder is thicker and heavier than most smartwatches.

Oh, the Q Founder also has the same ‘flat tire' seen on the Moto 360's display. That could be tough to get buy when spending $250+ on a smartwatch.
