Fossil Watches...

Man I know we have all kinda moved up in our collecting but I was at the mall last night and saw some of the newer Fossil watches...

...I still have to say, for the money, they are some of the best, most original watches on the market.

Apparently I am the only one that thinks so...lol!

I had an Adidas chrono which I bought in the Fossil Outlet, so I imagine it was produced in the same Chinese factory. It was a nicely designed, unique beater watch. Wish I still had it.

I routinely would see Armani and Burberry watches at the outlet (though never a Zodiac). For fashion brands they were nicely put together, though fantastically overpriced.

Last month in Orlando I did see a Zodiac at the outlet but nothing I liked

Purist WISs decry mushroom watches but despite that particular viewpoint, Fossil does offer good value, styling and decent movements. From small independent designer/makers to large umbrella companies as Fossil, there are plenty of cool watches for the public to choose from.

I have recently purchased this new Fossil watch for my girl friend. What do you think of this guys?

It's funny you brought this up Alan because I have been thinking the same thing,
and have seen some of the watches you are talking about as well at the stores
also . Many of them really seem to catch your eye with the different looking
cases, dials, and sizes, and the styles seem to have everyone covered too. It's
really pretty impressive to be honest, especially for the prices like you said.



Would be cool if they starting making more automatics available too. Maybe even
started making some of the Oceanaires, or other Zodiacs available at stores with
the regular Fossil watches.

Think when Fossil shut down Claro is the last time I have seen any with automatics,with that said I too would like to see more automatic's by them.

Great point John. Wonder if maybe they would ever use other movements from different
companies like Eta, Sellita, or even have Zodiac, or themselves build their very own movements
at some point in the future.
