  • A new favorite timepiece
Color: Black/Cognac
Skeptical at first because I've owned at least 2 Fossil watches before this one until they tragically died when the stems pulled out. I had to deal with the Fossil repair department several times which is a hassle in itself. After sending one particular watch for repair something like three separate times they just gave me a store credit for a new one. No loss on my part other than the time and postage paid. Fossil service aside this timepiece is actually quite a nice recreational watch. Several reviews I read has me doubting the quality and they brought up good points which I will try to address for hesitant buyers. The watch case itself is very appealing to the eye and the skeleton/automatic nature and a great bargain for the price. I can't find a watch to my liking with the same features for a similar price. I very much like the roman numerals with the clear see through crystal and the movement/spring action is visible and cool to see on the inside. However this aesthetic makes it impossible to read the face at night so bear that in mind. I can hear the ticking of the mechanism in a quiet room (loud watches are a pet peeve of mine) but this noise is otherwise unnoticeable and not distracting. Some reviews were upset by the slight tint to the front crystal but I find it adds to the watch. The band is a nice quality leather and wears nicely; I would not replace it with an aftermarket metal band because it would greatly change the character of the watch. The only downside aside from no nighttime visibility is the reliability. It is an automatic watch and it does have a quick winding feature, but the spring charge at best will last 48 hours maximum. A plus is that I can see the spring through the face and quickly can determine the tension level. When fully winded the watch in my opinion runs a little fast as to be expected. This piece will not keep atomically accurate time. Always +/- 2 minutes off after any given day of use. I always pull the stem out cautiously due to previous experience with Fossil watches and this particular watch doesn't instill much confidence of durability in that regard. All this said it is a beautiful timepiece perfect for light use as a classy fashion accessory. This watch is my wife's favorite of my collection and she wishes I would wear it more often. I am very fond of it as well but I cannot fully endorse it as a 24/7 daily driver. I don't mind adjusting it every few days when I do put it on for a nice dinner out. For the price, the quality is about par the what I expect and the style exceeds expectations. Just try not to yank the stem out. ... show more

  • Unique and fun mechanical watch
Color: Black/Cognac
This was a gift for my fiancee. I always try to get my fiancee a nice accessory or formal attire as a gift on holidays/birthdays since he really appreciates them, but rarely thinks to buy them himself. He's had this watch for about 3 months and has worn it to his company christmas party and a couple of other functions, and he loves it. It's a nice contract to the smart watch he typically wears. He gets a lot of compliments. Since the watch is mechanical, it will stop ticking after a few days of no use. Otherwise, my fiancee has noticed the time to be off by a minute or two every now and again, but that's an easy fix. Like others have stated, this is NOT a night time watch. There is no backlight and the Roman numerals couples with the clear face will make it extremely hard to tell time in the dark. Otherwise, This is a great budget mechanical watch perfect for any romp out in the day or possibly an indoors or well lit event in the evening. ... show more

  • I loved It.
Color: Black/Cognac
I bought this watch even if it was for a man. It's gorgeous but was to big in heavy wise it wouldn't stay on top of arm. It was to tight in next hole. But it's so gorgeous. My son in law loved it but I had to send it back. Was not a work watch he said. Truck driver.

  • Gorgeous
Color: Silver/Blue, Cognac
This was a great watch to wear for a dressier occasion compared to my daily watch. I really like that it’s an automatic movement and there’s a small window to see some of the gears. No battery ever needed. Face/bezel/strap Color combination is great.
