Diesel On Axial Smartwatch- Specification & Quick Review

If you like watches, trying one on is like trying on a pair of shoes. Some simply feel right at the point you tighten the strap on your wrist and angle it towards your face to take in the look. If it’s too big or small, or the style looks odd with your choice of outfit, it’s quickly discarded. For me, the Diesel On Axial was like putting on a pair of the finest leather brogues, the best Nike Air Max 90s, or the comfiest slipper you can find.

It will fell as it belonged to your wrist, and you didn’t want to take it off.

Masculine, wild, and wonderful

They have a personality and a design cohesiveness that’s missing from other fashion brand’s wristwear, and the smartwatches have also displayed it too.

Unlike other fashion brands from The Fossil Group, including Michael Kors and Emporio Armani, Diesel smartwatches are unmistakably Diesel.

First, take a look at the body and the knurled side panels that are seemingly sandwiched between the top and bottom sections of the metal casing.

The straps, from the riveted leather version to the metal link version that looks tough enough to pull a trailer, are similarly iconic. There’s a sense of masculinity to the design you simply don’t see on other smartwatches; a wildness that generates some emotion when you wear it.

Then there’s the tactility. Take a look at the side buttons and the heavy-engineering look of the design and bezel. Run the tip of your finger over these, and you get to experience the watch in a new and interesting way. It’s not smooth or beveled. It’s different, and that’s what makes it special. Diesel has added a new color variant – bronze.
How about the size? With all this talk of wild masculinity, it’s clear the On Axial embraces its 44mm body size, and the imposing bezel gives a strong visual on the wrist. Diesel watches aren’t for wallflowers. You have to own it, and while its edges towards men. I’m certain there will be women who will also love the uncompromising style. The 12mm thickness isn’t overpowering though, and it’s not heavy either.

More power

For the On Axial, Diesel has designed a new watch face called the Information Tunnel. Which looks like you’re staring into the mind of someone tripping on LSD. Shapes and lines in all different colors generate the effect of falling down a never-ending tunnel, while the time and other pieces of information populate the display.

It looks great and ran smoothly during my short time with the watch.

The good news here is the On Axial uses Fossil’s 5th generation platform. Which means it has the Snapdragon 3100 processor and crucially, 1GB of RAM. This is needed to make the flashy animations run smoothly, something the old platform and 512MB of RAM couldn’t do on the On Full Guard 2.5.

The latest platform also brings battery life improvements, a speaker, and greater iOS support for calls.

Price and Availability

Unique and stunning looking, the Diesel On Axial is the most visually fashionable smartwatch in ages. It is addictive and you can’t wait to put the bronze model back on.

The Diesel On Axial is available now and will cost you roughly around INR 26,000.
