Fossil Men's Machine Quartz Stainless Steel Chronograph Watch

First, I'm a female and have always been somewhat of a tomboy. I've always been more into men's accessories when it comes to my style, as well as men's clothes. The face of men's watches is always bigger than women's, and I prefer that. Anyways, this watch is simply beautiful. I was a little concerned that it might be a little too big looking on my wrist because my wrist is thin, but it is the perfect fit. I bought the 45mm black, silicone band Fossil watch with the blue interior. One thing that annoys me about getting watches with a linked chain is I know it's not going to initially fit when I get it, so then I'm burdened with the task of going somewhere to get the right number of links taken out of the watch, so it fits me. So, I went with the silicone band to avoid that, and I am glad I did so. The face of the watch has a natural shine to it because the quality is so good. It just has such a clean look to it, and it's a look that will make people turn their heads when they see it to get a better look. This is exactly what I wanted! The watch is great in every way, and I don't know how any human being could be disappointed when they open up the cute little tin box for the first time and see it. If you like the look of the watch, then do not hesitate to buy it. You will love it. I'd give it 10 stars if I could.

A bold and stylish watch with a rugged stainless steel build. It features a reliable quartz movement, chronograph functions, and a date display. Great for everyday wear and casual outfits.

Only had this watch for a few days now. I was expecting the watch to be a little bigger but it has grown on me now. My wrist is 8 1/2 inches which lets me use the third to the last notch of the band. The leather band is good quality and looks good. I was thinking about getting the bracelet as well but with my experience my wrist would be too big for it so I chose not to get it. No issues with the watch so far.

- Background -I'm a 17 year old male who recently had a desire to get a watch. First place I checked was my grandpa because I had no idea which brands to look at. My grandpa owned several brands but his best watch was a Fossil.- Research -I spent a couple hours across the span of a few days researching many analog watches. I mostly looked at $20-60 watches, and all of them had terrible reviews. I found some trends with these cheap watches, they all had false advertising for water ratings and their bands were either faux leather or had weak pins in their links. Most of them didn't last their owner longer than half a year.> So I thought, why spend $40 on a watch that lasts maybe a year-- at best--when I can spend twice the amount for a watch that lasts way longer and looks a ton better too.- Metal Band -The metal band is really nice in person. Everyone says the watch in total [with band] is kind of heavy, but I have say [and I have a small wrist], it was NOT heavy at all. Keep in mind, this is my VERY first watch so maybe the other reviewers were comparing to their smaller lighter watches.- Watch Face -Most people here are disappointed that the blue accents on the smaller dials in the watch face aren't pronounced enough, but I haven't seen that as a problem. If you get a decent light ray on the watch you'll see the nice blue accents at the exact color that is shown in the product pictures. The side buttons and crown aren't big and annoying: something I thought might have been a problem. I assure you this watch is amazing.- Sizing -Some people here are disappointed about "having to get a new band" because the links are too big to make an actual adjustment. I don't understand where they're coming from because when I went to my local jeweler, she was able to take the right amount of links off and adjust the closest link to the clasp [there are 3 adjustable pin spots for the link closest to the clasp on each side] which proved to help fine tuning the adjustment [I had taken 3 links out because my wrist was a bit small]. The jeweler instilled in me that the watch may have to fall loosely over my wrist [where the carpal (or the big round bone thingy) is]. This was not the case, I was easily able to adjust the band to the perfect size even for my smaller wrist.- Conclusion -All in all, this watch is f'ing amazing. Since you've clicked on this watch, that means you've shown a little interest in it. Which means you are hesitant to buying it but would still consider it. STOP CONSIDERING AND ORDER IT ALREADY!Fossil watches are amazing and I'm glad I got this one for my first watch ever![ Might update in a couple months to a year to let you know how well it holds up. ][ Also will try to upload some good looking pictures and not from a 5 megapixel flip recorder lol. ]Definitely 5/5.

I got this one for work and it's held up against being banged/scraping against other objects and it's come out unscathed. That's probably the biggest pro for it, it feels relatively indestructible. I like the watch design, it's still exactly accurate after a few months of use.However, the band on the watch is overly thick, it feels super bulky compared to Amy of my other watches. The next con I would say is the price point for the features you get. There's no glow components so it's unreadable in dark rooms. The materials aren't what'd you expect at this price either.It's a simple watch, that looks good, but you can definitely get more bang for your buck elsewhere if you wanted.
