"Google's smartwatch technology has been around for a long time and has been a long way from being ready. We are thrilled to have Fossil join the Fossil Group. I am confident that this partnership will allow us to further innovate and improve our brands. As we continue building for the future, Fossil will continue to enhance its research and development team and continue to push further forward in its efforts to make wearables more accessible and smart. We are particularly excited to see Fossil and Fossil's partnership as partners of choice for wearable computing."

The deal is not the only Fossil deal to be announced. In the past, Fossil has made partnerships with Samsung and Adidas to push the boundaries of wearable computing. When Nike bought its first wearable at CES, the company announced that it was investing $100 million in a partnership with Apple.

Wieder denies any wrongdoing, and he is facing a life sentence if convicted.

The ex-cop was originally charged with felony possession of child pornography and two counts of sex trafficking. He has been placed on supervised release pending further investigation.
