Fossil Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a very nicely designed timepiece for the money. It cost substantially less than other chronographs of comparable quality, and is quite attractive. It is all stainless and has a Japanese movement. I have the gray faced version which may be a bit easier to read because of the lack of contrast, but no chronograph, unless it is oversized, and has a very expensive movement, is really intended for anything but aesthetics. The quality of movement at this price range should dictate its reliability and durability. No one uses these things to time track meets. The real issue is the pedigree of the movement. No Chronograph, Citizen or any other brand, at $100, sweeps at a tenth of a second. How do I know? Well the Japanese movement in this watch is in fact identical to the movement in all but the most expensive Citizen watches. Actually, the movement is made by Citizen. These identical movements are branded by Citizen under the name "Miyota" and are sold to many quality watchmakers like Skagen and Fossil. A close analogy is the 2004 Saturn VUE - which had a Honda's 3.5-liter V6. Anyone who tried to tell you how much "better" the engine in their Honda CR-V was as compared to the one in the Vue was certainly confused. With the Fossil you are getting the same exact watch as the Citizen Chrono in the end. There is one major difference though: the Fossil is a much more stylish watch with a much more solid stainless bezel and band and costs a lot less. I personally think that the inexpensive Citizen Chronos look like cheesy old man watches. If you are willing to shell out $300 to $1000 for a really nice Citizen Eco Drive, then you can get a very attractive, very high quality Chrono with a stellar movement. For anyone on a budget; stick with the Fossil.
