I got this exact watch as a birthday gift and I absolutely love it, great build quality and it looks really nice, however this is also the only watch I've ever owned that's worth more than $30 and isn't a smartwatch
Very fair review. I've just bought a Grant skeleton and I love it. For me, it's pleasingly understated and sophisticated, compared to the more garish and blingy offerings. A lot of watches seem to be designed for teenage boys who sit in front of their games console, imaging that they are hard assed navy seals. There seems to be a fair amount of unfair snobbish hate directed at Fossil but they are quite large and not for the skinny, limp wristed.
Well tx for the review and info! Got one for xmas. I wanted the military S5. Its gone. AOS. MIA. Good! The silver case on black dial and brown strap is rare online. I have a few watches. Wanted a ''2020'' automatic to go with a 1942 Eterna Challenger and 1975 USSR one. With skeleton. Its silent! Aligned movement to the tee. Luminescent dots btw. I have 55mm clunkers, big plastic ones and big wrists. No problem. 76 grams. And the 1900 retro look is amazing! Id compare the quality to Diesel. Fossil is 4th biggest watch cie in the world.
Just bought one on prime day for 115 after tax and it's only "unreasonably big" on small wrists. I had to swap for a Barton extra long band and it fits well for a big wrist Edit: the only thing I miss is lume on the hands
Better to buy an Orient Automatic watch. They have the same price and are much more collectable. If you don't eant it anymore you can sell them at the same price you bought them.
Hi! I think the fossils with myota movement is better than orien automatic because if the orient has problem-the parts and repair is more complicated and not get easy.If I'llbuy automatic I will choose a "citizen" one.But now only eco-drives 👍😉
hi I'm not a watch expert friend. Could you please tell me how this watch is holding up? Has the crystal scratched? metal rusted? Movement busted? I'm planning on buying it for a longer usage. That's why
Crystal is scratched it’s mineral crystal with hardness of 6-7 so you will get scratches compared to a higher end sapphire crystal. Movement works fine miyota is a workhorse movement, time accuracy and smoothness can’t be expected at this price point. Overall I think this is a great entry piece if you like mechanical watches with a small budget!
correct only once, this is a time only watch, there's no date function. The 24 hour sub-dial you see on the side is just a am/pm indicator that matches the main time.
38 hours power reserve I believe, I do not wind it daily since I have too many watches I just reset when I need to wear. If you wear it everyday you’ll be fine putting it down for 1.5 days
@@leothomsonltc that watch is damaged then and needs servicing, because the power reserve on that model should be 35 hours . A fossil watch is not worth servicing though since you can just buy a new one for a bit more
A watch winder would cost as much as the watch, so I don't see the point of that. The watch has a power reserve of ~40 hours, so you'll have to wear it on a semi-daily basis to keep it wound. I will note this watch does have winding functionality, so you can wind the watch on days you do not wear it if you are concerned with resetting the time. It keeps +/- 10 seconds a day time anyways, so you'll be having to reset it on a monthly basis anyways to keep good time.
$150? Have you seen how good replica watches are at this price point if you know where to buy? Fossil are just a marketing company and the best feature most have is the strap.
No, I believe the resistance is 5atm maybe even 3atm. Which is good enough to maybe wet while washing your hands, but don't take a shower with this guy! You need at least 100m water resistance to do that, unless it's a screw down crown maybe. 50m is okay.
this is not a tourbillon, this watch is an "Open Heart". You get 90% the visual effects for 10% the price :) A proper swiss tourbillon will set you back at least 15k++
this model pricing abit confuse，some come with China movement without print made in Japan ，some come with miyota movement made in Japan but send from China....
Everyone’s gotta start somewhere man. Fossil has brought in a lot of newbies to the watch world including myself :) wouldn’t be caught dead wearing one now though
@@FeelingsChat i had a fossil as well in like 2004 but it was a big tick and was actually good quality. I wish they still made them instead of fashion crap like this lol

I work for fossil. All of our automatic watches are 89 dollars right now.
that's a good deal! I have nothing against fossil automatics besides them being enormous
Can you tell how can I get that price?

Hi, whats ur wrist size?

Picture of the watch with 22mm Barton band on my wrist
Yikes! Tight to the wrist I'm closer to 18cm. A 44mm watch would cover my whole wrist.

@@FeelingsChat thankyou very much friend!!
How is it doing now?@@FeelingsChat
Hi the crown of this watch can be pulled to one position only right? Im wondering if you can pull it twice out.
correct only once, this is a time only watch, there's no date function. The 24 hour sub-dial you see on the side is just a am/pm indicator that matches the main time.
@@FeelingsChathow well is the watch holding up in condition?
cool thank you.
Hi. How to do the manual winding just in case? Just rotate the crown clockwise??
correct! no need to pull out/unscrew the crown or anything for this watch.
Hey, do you wind it on a daily basis? If worn for a day does it have power reserve to last approx next 24 hours?
38 hours power reserve I believe, I do not wind it daily since I have too many watches I just reset when I need to wear. If you wear it everyday you’ll be fine putting it down for 1.5 days
@@FeelingsChat I just bought one ME3184, not getting even a power reserve of 9 hours.

Do you think it is necessary to buy a watch wonder? Or how did you do in your case? Do you Know about the power reserved?

What if you have and older fossil heavy stanlel stainless steel watch
What if your so stupid that people think you shouldn't put comments on youtube ever again
@@alphacapo Well I just got one for xmas. I do have something to say. Do you?
Hi, what is the reference of the movement?
which automatic watch would you recommend under 10000 rs im indian btw
For a budget mechanical watch I can always recommend Orient.
$150? Have you seen how good replica watches are at this price point if you know where to buy? Fossil are just a marketing company and the best feature most have is the strap.
Is it waterproof?
No, I believe the resistance is 5atm maybe even 3atm. Which is good enough to maybe wet while washing your hands, but don't take a shower with this guy! You need at least 100m water resistance to do that, unless it's a screw down crown maybe. 50m is okay.

Ah when I think quality watches I think cheap Chinese movements and cheap genuine leather.
shay campbell get what you pay for man, this guy is like 100$
@@FeelingsChat whats the thickness ?
I would pay no more than 50 dollars for that
Its a Garbage watch or rather fashion watch. Buy a Seiko or Orient in this price point.
