My new favorite watch! Beautiful workmanship, the perfect size. It's not bulky. It feels slim. The numeral part of the dial is clear, which looks awesome. I'm very happy.

    • Nice watch, I receive compliments every time I wear it
Color: Smoke Gray Skeleton Size: 44MM
Love the weight. Love the face size. Being able to see the inner workings operate is very cool and add a bit of industrial type class. Very accurate time keeping and I’m happy with my purchase.

    • 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

    • 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

The 44 had the right band, but the face like the stainless steal black one, with the black and gold skeleton look. I went on the fossil website and they don’t make this exact design in the 44mm.
