Fossil Machine Men’s Watch with Stainless Steel or Leather Band, Chronograph or Analog Watch Display

Exceptional watch!
I guess I would call this a Goldilocks watch, everything about it is “just right”. All fossil watches come packaged in a round or, like this watch, square “tin” container filled with a firm dense foam with the watch nestled in a cutout In the foam made to fit the watch. This container was placed in a larger shipping box surrounded by air-pillow padding, so you can rest assured the watch will arrive without damage. When you pop the top off the container there is a small booklet containing instructions for registering the watch w/Fossil and it tells you where to go on Fossil’s website for instructions on setting the watch functions, date, time, chronograph use, etc. The website instructions are very good. When you extract the watch from it’s “cozy bed” it has the original pricing tag attached to the buckle and a clear thin membrane covering the watch crystal.The weight of the watch is “just right”. It’s substantial enough to feel the watch is an excellent quality build yet it’s not too heavy. I have worn it everyday since receiving it and, of the many watches I own, it is now the most comfortable watch I own. The ‘patterned’ silicone strap definitely adds to the watches overall appearance and the silicone used is extremely flexible and actually has a ‘softness’ to it. I’m always concerned about silicone straps causing my wrist to perspire, and most will, but that has absolutely not been an issue so far with this one.The size of the watch is “just right”. The trend today seems to be toward large watches and, with the case on this measuring 45mm, it is large but even on my thin 7″ wrist it doesn’t appear overwelming. I have a number of watches 44mm to 50mm and they ‘feel’ large, this one doesn’t. I think the relatively slim, 12mm thick, case is what really makes this watch not ‘feel’ large and also a big reason it’s so comfortable.Setting this watch is similar to many, that is you pull the stem out 1 position and rotate it till the day prior to the current date appears then pull the stem out to the second position and rotate the hands until the date ‘clicks’ over to the current date (so you know when the hands hit 12 o’clock your starting at midnight) and continue rotating the hands to the correct time, making sure to go past 12 o’clock again before setting a pm time so the date will always change properly at midnight. Again, compared to other watches I own, this watch is the easiest to manually set. The stem’s knob is easy to grasp, the distance you pull and the affirming detent when you ‘hit’ position 1 is reassuring as it is with movement to position 2. Many watches require pulling the stem out and turning it to see if your in the right position and, if not, pulling or pushing it a little further and rotating until you see the action you want.The chronograph function is easy to initiate and use and the shiny blue hands on the subdial’s are easy to read. The large start/stop and reset buttons are slightly concave, which I think adds to the watches’ style, and provides positive tactile feedback when pressed. When the reset button is pressed the hand of the ‘seconds’ dial rotates counter clockwise one rotation for every minute that was measured until it’s returned to it’s starting position. I think this is unusual and, depending on the length of time you measured, can take a while.I guess the styling of this watch is what caught my attention initially, as is usually the case. The machine look with the knurled bezel, the large concave buttons, the layout of the face along with the blue subdial hands and the overall black coloring all caught my attention, and catches the attention of most people who see it. I guarantee you will get compliments from many strangers who feel compelled to comment on it. All of my fossil watches have proven durable, knock on wood, and I’ve yet to have a single quality issue with any of the three I own. Unfortunately I haven’t had as good of luck with the one Relic brand I own which is made by fossil and is a less expensive line. But I recommend fossil highly, and especially this watch.

Perfect gift!
Got this for my husband for Xmas this year. He loves it. The watch and bracelet are both great quality. Very comfortable and stylish!

Perfect Gift for Your Working Man
Bought this for a Christmas present for my husband. The watch looked amazing! Since my husband loves setting timers for things this was perfect for his line of work. The color of the face has a matte finish and the other cool thing is that you can swap out the stainless steel band for a leather one instead.Sadly I have to give it a 4 out of 5 stars due to the poor state my package came in. The day I received the package, don’t know what the amazon worker was thinking but it was inside one of those thin bubble sleeve. So it caused the watch tin to be damaged causing the lid to open and let the watch just running loosely inside. Don’t know who packed it but if I spent almost 200 for a watch I would of wanted it inside an actual box with a bubble packing to make it secure.
