From timeless classics to the latest fashions, Fossil is sure to have the timepiece that perfectly compliments your unique sense of style. Founded in 1984 when timepieces were created more for function than fashion, Fossil began to transform this notion with its unique combination of vintage 1950s Americana design and affordably accessible cool style. Adding to their collectability were the one-of-a-kind, trademark tins that came with the watches that mixed a creative spirit with a sense of humor. These iconic boxes are nearly as popular as the watches they hold and are regularly collected and traded throughout the world at flea markets, antique shops, and on eBay.Today, Fossil produces over 300 different styles of watches in a continuously changing lineup. While the majority of designs are created by in-house designers, Fossil has reached out to such contemporary artisans as product designer Philip Starck and famed architect Frank Gehry (designer of the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain) to create uniquely modern timepieces. In addition to style innovations, Fossil has also helped introduce innovative technologies into watches, such as the Wrist PDA that ran the Palm operating system. Fossil also offers complementary lines of small leather goods, belts, handbags, sunglasses, jewelry and apparel. Since its establishment in 1984, Fossil has created watches for men and women that withstand the test of time. Fossil watches range from rugged, to professional, to every-day, but always place a premium on craftsmanship and fine materials. Fossil’s talented designers emphasize creativity and closely monitor horological trends in order to deliver the watches Fossil's customers demand. From complicated chronographs, to casual watches with fabric straps, to technologically advanced digital displays, Fossil watches all represent a commitment to functional style.

Awesome quality, as described
Please note this is the first higher quality watch I've purchased, so I only have limited experience. I have purchased some of fossil's cheaper wares in the past and was very satisfied.Design- I have a smartphone that I carry with me at all times and so my use for this watch was primarily fashion. While I understand such things are somewhat of a matter of taste, I think it can be objectively said that this is a very sleek, handsome watch. The picture on the product page is rather inadequate; The main casing of the watch is a shining stainless steel. The inner face of the watch is a patterned almost satin matte sort of finish. This means the gleaming case is not overwhelmingly flashy and looks clean and professional in my opinion.The buckle matches the casing and has a longer prong then usual. This means it is a little harder to put the watch on snugly, but it also means it doesn't come off accidentally like watches are wont to do.The innards of the watch are open to the eye via the cutaway you can see in the picture. Due to the low resolution of the picture it looks more "busy" than it is; the middle circular object is a seconds measurement. It looks much less overly steampunk-ish in person, but it would fit in well with a steampunk theme as well as being appropriate for a professional setting.The leather band is shaped circularly upon arrival but after only a day or two it conformed to my wrist shape perfectly. The band is very well made, 100% genuine leather and sewn just so you can wear it snugly without those bothersome side-band marks on your arm that cheaper bands leave.Pro's-Comfortable-Well-designed-unique, but not flashy-Stands toe to toe with the more expensive watches I've seenCon's-The asymmetrical nature of the hands makes the time hard to discern quickly with this watch.Conclusion: Is it a great watch? Yes, for me, I love it. Is it good quality? I'm not expert, but it looks to me that it will be with me a good while. Would I recommend it to others? Definitely. If you like the design of the watch and are willing to pay the (more than fair) price, then please, go for it!

Least used - Faulty
I bought this watch by January and it has been least used. The look and feel of the watch is good. the gear portions stopped working since may and I hear a tingling sound inside the watch (Looks like something has gone loose). when contacted seller they said that Many times, the mechanical portions may not work due to extreme shock or drop causing the gears to bend, or go off track. If the mechanical parts do not work due to drop, the warranty will not cover.This has been very disappointing, and to my knowledge with the amount of usage I have done with the watch there has been no instance of extreme shock or drop. This has been my first watch at the luxury segment and it has proved out to be disappointing. The seller however recommended having shipped it over to them with a return shipment check of 14 $ and they would asses the repair get back with me with a estimate.I was not ready to shelve another 30 odd dollars and I'm currently looking out for a local repair shop where I could fix it. On the whole disappointed with this purchase and would recommend not to go for this item.

Nice Looking, Crappy quailty internally.
Paid close to $150 for the first time on a watch. When it came in I fell in love with this watch. Other than the odd thickness of the watch(you will always know you have this puppy on, it's like a freaking paperwieght), it looks VERY nice. I never wanted to take it off, and got compliments on it daily. I took a chance on buying this watch after reading some good and bad reviews of it. Some said that their watches stopped working very quickly and others on here say they have had no problems. I got my watch on March 16th........ June 5 I am now having to send it back to Amazon for a refund. Very upset. Love the look of this watch, but the seconds hand and the part that shows internally stopped working. The rest all works, but why pay $150 for a watch that only half works...... Not well made on the inside. If this was something that I just put on for a date or party I would say no big deal because it looks NICE!!!!, but since I use a watch everyday for work I need funtionality.I hope I can find a watch that looks this nice and actually works.....

Nice but difficult to read
It's very nice. It was a gift for my husband and he loves the look of it. I gave it four stars bc he said its a little difficult to read bc of the lack of contrast btwn the color of the arms and the background, but he likes it so much he's willing to try to get use to it.

Love
Really unique watch and at a great price. My husband loved it as his father's day gift about a year ago. My only complaint is that it's hard to set. Takes a while to wind the month, day, year, time, etc & get them to all match up.

Dressy and sharp
Bought this as a gift for my boyfriend. Other than "a new Fossil watch" he didn't give me anything to go on. This watch was a hit. The leather band is of great quality and the unique exposed design of the face is very attractive. He loved it.

EASY GIVING
This was a gift for a nephew who lives out state. He is not an easy person to shop for but he did sound happy with the watch. It was a beautiful time piece and I was glad that I found something he would like.

great until it broke
I would have given this a five star review but the mechanics broke within the first year. it is still covered I the warranty but I haven't had any issues with any other fossils that I have owned.

Très belle mais
La montre en elle-même est très belle avec de bonnes finitions et un sentiment certain de qualité. Mais la couleur du cadran n'est pas celle présentée en photo et dans la description. Ce n'est pas du tout argent mais plutôt taupe. C'est joli aussi mais ce n'était pas ce que je voulais. Sur la couleur taupe le contraste des jours et de la date n'est pas suffisant pour le lire en plein jour.Je la renvoie donc et me dirigerai vers un autre modèle.3 étoiles pour la qualité évidente de la montre malgré tout ainsi que pour le service Amazon toujours au top.

Tres belle montre
Commandée pour offrir.... La surprise fut bonne! Tres jolis details sur la montre, seule hic, il n'y a pas de "français" sur la notice, il faut se debrouiller avec nos quelques notions d'anglais... Sinon, le produit est vraiment sympa et la qualité est bien là!
