Fossil JR1354

 

A military-inspired design of this watch gives away, even at first glance, that this is a reliable machine built for men of action who know what they want.

Design and Features

The simplistic look definitely doesn’t take away from the beauty of this watch. Its matte black ion-plated stainless steel case provides great protection for the analog quartz mechanism inside of it. Matte black leather band with buckle clasp nicely follows the overall tone of the timepiece and contributes to its manly look. 3, 6, 9 and 12 numerals create diversity below the mineral dial window. Three chronograph sub-dials are easily visible and the date window is placed next to 4 o’ clock mark. The watch is water resistant up to 50m (165 feet).

  • Date
  • Water Resistance – 50m (165ft)

Customer Reviews

This is a big watch, so most complains come from customers who were unaware of that when buying it, and it either doesn’t match their wrist size or is too heavy for them. Regarding its craftsmanship and looks, buyers have only words of praise.

Final Word

If you are into the military/industrial look as we are, you will adore this timepiece. It looks great. It’s very well built and we are sure that it won’t let you down.

#4 Fossil Men’s Chronograph Watch Review

Fossil FS4931 

 

This is a watch that is made to last for a long time and it has a very cool design, too!

Design and Features

Gunmetal-tone of stainless steel case and band with deployment clasp, combined with blue markings and sub-dials give this watch a look which, although simple, cannot be easily described since it looks like something made in an early industrial period when everyone was fascinated with metal, but with an amazing futuristic approach.

Its hands are luminescent and it possesses a three sub-dials chronograph along with the date function placed very well between 4 and 5 o’ clock markings. It is water resistant up to 50m (165 feet) so forgetting to take it off when going for a swim won’t make any difference, however diving with it is not recommended.

Key Specs

  • Unique Design
  • Analog Quartz Movement
  • Stainless Steel Case – 45mm (1.8 inches) in diameter
  • Mineral Dial Window
  • Stainless Steel Band – standard length, 24mm (0.9 inches) width
  • Three Sub-dials – seconds, minutes, hours
  • Date
  • Water Resistance – 50m (165ft)

Customer Reviews

According to customers, the beauty that this watch possesses in person cannot be seen in the picture. Because of the blue markings and sub-dials, it looks especially nice when exposed to the sunlight. Negative reviews mostly concern packaging and not the watch itself.

Final Word

This is a supreme-built, long-lasting and a great-looking watch which we find impossible not to be liked.

 

#5 Fossil Men’s Black Stainless Steel Dress Watch Review

Fossil FS4775

 

Less is more and black is back! Another Fossil’s ‘’industrial beauty’’ with stylishly casual look for a great price!

Design and Features

Simple, but noticeable; casual, but stylish; this everyday watch will contribute to your laid-back style and just might become your favorite accessory.  Both case and band are black and made of stainless steel. Mineral dial window covers its minimalistic face and a date window placed above 6 o’ clock marking. The band uses deployment buckle clasp. The watch is water resistant up to 50 m (165 feet) and inside of it is analog quartz mechanism. It doesn’t have special features like tachymeter or chronograph, but then again, it is not meant for people who really need them, also the lack of these features allow this watch to be within a very reasonable price range.

Key Specs

  • “Industrial” Design
  • Analog Quartz Movement
  • Stainless Steel Case – 42mm (1.6 inches) in diameter
  • Mineral Dial Window
  • Stainless Steel Band – standard length, 22mm (0.9 inches) width
  • Date
  • Water Resistance – 50m (165ft)

Customer Reviews

Customers love the way it looks and feels finding it to be simple and not flashy but, at the same time, very eye-catching. Once again, negative reviews are individual and mostly concerning packaging and/or shipping problems.

Final Word

We find this to be a great watch suitable for everyday urban life that goes well with any outfit. Its low price is definitely a big plus.

The History of Fossil Watch

Here are some facts about the company followed by a list of Fossil’s best affordable (leather band & stainless) watches which will be used in conclusion of this review for providing the final judgment on how good Fossil watches really are.

The company was established in 1984 in Texas, USA. They became famous for producing fashionable watches with a retro design. During the 90’s the company introduced new products into their assortment and started making different kinds of accessories along with the already world-famous Fossil watches.

Today, Fossil is one of the largest companies in the watchmaking business, producing watches even for other companies such as Adidas, Emporio Armani, Diesel, etc. with a wide range of products under their recognizable brand. Fossil group is founded in 1984 in Richardson, Texas. It is one of the biggest manufacturers of watches today.

Are Fossil Watches Good? Conclusion

As we’ve said before there is a certain (although not large) amount of customers who were not satisfied with their purchase, regarding Fossil of course. Our research proved that Fossil watches are as good as the watches get. What must be taken into account is that a company, with the size of production like Fossil, has, can easily make a mistake every now and then, especially with some cheaper models and send a damaged or badly functioning timepiece to its customers.

This, however, happens very rarely and even when it does, Fossil has a great customer service that does returns and exchanges those watches for new, completely functional ones. Overall, there is a fair reason why Fossil is one of the leaders in the market and we find it completely deserving of its place.
