  • Stunning Style Meets Mechanical Artistry!
Color: Black Leather/Rose Gold Size: 44MM
I purchased the Fossil Men's Townsman Automatic Skeleton Watch (Model: ME3170) in Rose Gold and Black as a gift for myself, and it’s an absolute showstopper! From the moment I opened the box, I couldn’t stop admiring it—the sleek rose gold stainless steel case paired with the rich black leather strap oozes sophistication. It’s effortlessly stylish, striking the perfect balance between modern elegance and vintage charm. But the real magic is in the skeleton dial! Watching the intricate inner mechanisms at work is downright mesmerizing. The exposed gears and automatic movement turn this timepiece into a conversation piece—I've enjoyed explaining how the self-winding mechanics function (no battery needed!). It’s like wearing a tiny, functional work of art on your wrist. Comfort-wise, the leather strap feels buttery soft and molds perfectly to the wrist, while the rose gold finish adds a luxe touch without being flashy. It’s versatile enough to dress up a suit or elevate a casual weekend look. If you’re looking for a watch that combines head-turning style with mechanical fascination, this Fossil Townsman is it. Five stars for its flawless design, five stars for the engineering marvel inside, and five stars for making me feel like I'm wearing a piece of horological history. A total winner! ... show more

  • Nice Looking Watch!
Color: Brown Leather/Silver/Blue Size: 44MM
It is a perfect size, not to heavy, and looks great. It has been very durable, and is easy to read. With great functionality. It also supposed to be water resistant, but I haven't experimented! Is also a great value for the money.

  • Looks fantastic
Color: Black Stainless/Gold Dial Size: 44MM
What a special design, love this watch. Looks amazing in person, the size is good for normal man arm. Looks way more expensive. I hope it will last for a very long time. The only thing I didn't like is how the seller shipped it. In a paper bag, no additional protection like a bubble wrap or something. So the metal box came indented and damaged. I hope that didn't do anything to the watch machanism. Especially because it was shipped long distance from US to Europe. ... show more

  • I’m happy with the purchase
Color: Silver/Blue Size: 44MM
It’s a really nice looking watch, I got complements on it the first day I wore it. If it has issues with longevity I’ll be coming back and updating my review but out of the box it’s exactly what I asked for. The only problem I have is that the second hand doesn’t stop when I pull out the dial, now this could be user error but I’m pretty sure that’s standard in watches. Otherwise it’s really nice. I have a watch kit so I got it to fit comfortably on my wrist. So far the watch has run accurately (48 hours so far and hasn’t lost time but we will see over the next few weeks), it’s a good size and relatively easy to read. ... show more
