    • A new favorite timepiece
Color: Brown Leather/Black/Brown Size: 44MM
Skeptical at first because I've owned at least 2 Fossil watches before this one until they tragically died when the stems pulled out. I had to deal with the Fossil repair department several times which is a hassle in itself. After sending one particular watch for repair something like three separate times they just gave me a store credit for a new one. No loss on my part other than the time and postage paid. Fossil service aside this timepiece is actually quite a nice recreational watch. Several reviews I read has me doubting the quality and they brought up good points which I will try to address for hesitant buyers. The watch case itself is very appealing to the eye and the skeleton/automatic nature and a great bargain for the price. I can't find a watch to my liking with the same features for a similar price. I very much like the roman numerals with the clear see through crystal and the movement/spring action is visible and cool to see on the inside. However this aesthetic makes it impossible to read the face at night so bear that in mind. I can hear the ticking of the mechanism in a quiet room (loud watches are a pet peeve of mine) but this noise is otherwise unnoticeable and not distracting. Some reviews were upset by the slight tint to the front crystal but I find it adds to the watch. The band is a nice quality leather and wears nicely; I would not replace it with an aftermarket metal band because it would greatly change the character of the watch. The only downside aside from no nighttime visibility is the reliability. It is an automatic watch and it does have a quick winding feature, but the spring charge at best will last 48 hours maximum. A plus is that I can see the spring through the face and quickly can determine the tension level. When fully winded the watch in my opinion runs a little fast as to be expected. This piece will not keep atomically accurate time. Always +/- 2 minutes off after any given day of use. I always pull the stem out cautiously due to previous experience with Fossil watches and this particular watch doesn't instill much confidence of durability in that regard. All this said it is a beautiful timepiece perfect for light use as a classy fashion accessory. This watch is my wife's favorite of my collection and she wishes I would wear it more often. I am very fond of it as well but I cannot fully endorse it as a 24/7 daily driver. I don't mind adjusting it every few days when I do put it on for a nice dinner out. For the price, the quality is about par the what I expect and the style exceeds expectations. Just try not to yank the stem out. ... show more

    • Both unique and classic at the same time.
Color: Brown Leather/Black/Brown Size: 44MM
I never knew about skeleton watches until I decided to look for a new watch. This is the best example of one I could possibly find, which makes sense because Fossil has been around and I've owned two other amazing watches from them. The shade of metal on this one is a warm shiny copper color rather than silver, which seems less common. Although i must note that the main picture used for this product is taken from a video of the watch rotating, and is way darker and less reflective looking, although the view of the back is very accurate. Having it on your own wrist is really what sells it. You can excuse the lack of a date feature, because several different, albeit less practical, things just draw your eye almost distracting you from the time itself. There are even things that take a while to notice, like just how different the tension coil is when you get the watch off your nightstand after 8 hours, and by the end of a busy shift at work the coil pretty much looks like a solid disk from being wound up (i move around a lot at work). This is just such a fascinating, detailed watch! I randomly decided to record this close up in slow motion with my phone's camera because why not. There's a tiny notch on the pendulum that serves as a weight that is almost impossible to see with the naked eye. I'm very new to watch anatomy, so this just forces me to stare at it and be continuously fascinated. I can overlook the flaws in shipping, the cover was detached from the box, but the watch was covered in plastic so I wasn't too worried and it was unscathed out of the box. There is truly no other watch like this, even in the skeleton category of watches, its hard to find one transparent on both sides for this price point and with this shade of metal, silver felt too typical for me, and I've always loved Fossil's leather straps. I've owned two of their watches in the past. From what i gather, this is a very heavily discounted price compared to fossil's official website, which is actually where i originally found this watch. So glad i checked here. GET. THIS. WATCH! ... show more

    • Unique and fun mechanical watch
Color: Brown Leather/Black/Brown Size: 44MM
This was a gift for my fiancee. I always try to get my fiancee a nice accessory or formal attire as a gift on holidays/birthdays since he really appreciates them, but rarely thinks to buy them himself. He's had this watch for about 3 months and has worn it to his company christmas party and a couple of other functions, and he loves it. It's a nice contract to the smart watch he typically wears. He gets a lot of compliments. Since the watch is mechanical, it will stop ticking after a few days of no use. Otherwise, my fiancee has noticed the time to be off by a minute or two every now and again, but that's an easy fix. Like others have stated, this is NOT a night time watch. There is no backlight and the Roman numerals couples with the clear face will make it extremely hard to tell time in the dark. Otherwise, This is a great budget mechanical watch perfect for any romp out in the day or possibly an indoors or well lit event in the evening. ... show more

    • Not as it appears
Color: Brown Leather/Black/Brown Size: 44MM
Absolutely love this watch! The gold and deep brown are very elegant in appearance. I caution it isn't as it appears in the online photos. It's truly a skeleton watch. The online photos appear to show a brown background, but it's completely open. I was a little disappointed when I first opened the package to reveal that, but the more I look at it, the more I love it. ... show more

    • Defective even with the second replacement
Color: Brown Leather/Black/Brown Size: 44MM
Originally bought this for my husband's birthday. Loved the look however it doesn't keep the time and turns off. He was having to constantly reset it everyday. This is second time asking for a replacement and even the second one was worse than the first. Asked amazon for a full refund. This is disappointing. :( ... show more
