  • Nice Looking Watch!
Color: Brown Leather/Silver/Blue Size: 44MM
It is a perfect size, not to heavy, and looks great. It has been very durable, and is easy to read. With great functionality. It also supposed to be water resistant, but I haven't experimented! Is also a great value for the money.

  • A new favorite timepiece
Color: Brown Leather/Black/Brown Size: 44MM
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

  • I’m happy with the purchase
Color: Silver/Blue Size: 44MM
It’s a really nice looking watch, I got complements on it the first day I wore it. If it has issues with longevity I’ll be coming back and updating my review but out of the box it’s exactly what I asked for. The only problem I have is that the second hand doesn’t stop when I pull out the dial, now this could be user error but I’m pretty sure that’s standard in watches. Otherwise it’s really nice. I have a watch kit so I got it to fit comfortably on my wrist. So far the watch has run accurately (48 hours so far and hasn’t lost time but we will see over the next few weeks), it’s a good size and relatively easy to read. ... show more

  • Item does not work
Color: Brown Leather/Silver/Blue Size: 48MM
I bought this item as a gift for my husband birthday, when he opened it and winded the crown to start working, nothing happens. Item was defective and not working. I'm trying to get a refund, however because it was a birthday present the refund date has passed. I'm left a product that does not work.
