I have a place in my heart for fossil. My first watch that wasn’t a brandless piece of shit Walmart watch was a fossil, and it actually got me into watches. Also my most sentimental watch is a fossil that was a gift from my mother that had something really important engraved on the back. The quality is still very low and for the price range you should easily get a Casio instead, but fossil does a good job at getting average people into watches. Edit: I keep seeing people say Walmart sells Fossil and I’m sure that’s the case in a lot of stores but I’m not talking about Fossil at all, I’m talking about the generic no brand watches Walmart manufactures and sells for like $15.
Same here my mother gave me a fossil watch im very interested in other watches now but sadly cuz of my wrist are very small and i cant find a good replacement for the original strap
I've had two and sure, they aren't great but some of their designs are really minimalist and have a look that can be worn casual, or a little upscale. Also, mine stopped at a time that is significant to me so it's sort of just something I wear and it's not about having it at the right time. I have a phone for that.
@@ALL-il1sw No, they didn't. They had some of their dials made by another company and the movement for ONE reference -- the Daytona -- made by another watchmaker.

i have a fossil watch and as I come close to watch community in instagram people have beef with FOSSIL made me insecure because I own a fossil watch and as far as I am concerned it looks and feels great too.
99% of people don't know jack shit about watches. Myself included. I own two fossil watches and people 100% are impressed by how they look. I could care less if it tells time. One was 77 dollars the other was 42 dollars😂
@@nategin9009 i dislike fossil cus their quality is ass. it's not about how well the keep time. and yes, most people dont care about watches, so why tf would i be trying to impress them with mine? why would their approval matter? regardless though, fossil have some really nice designs for the price and i think a lot of the hate they get is from snobs that watched a couple youtube videos without taking the time to actually check out the products.
Just my unpopular opinion, best watch is the one you love. I have a Seiko, wouldn't trade it for any. Same reason I love my Toyota, wouldn't trade it for a luxury car.
@@morgantolentino961 but no profit can make MY seiko. The one I bought for my 30th birthday. The same type of watch I used to love playing with as a kid but broke it and regretted it. The watch that was on my wrist when I got married. You cannot buy that.
For me also Fossil and Lotus have sentimental value for me. Both watches were the first ones yi ever got. Don’t wear them very often anylonger but still love them when wearing.
I'd 1000% recommend a Fossil watch over the fashion brands that just slap their logos on Fossil watches. I don't think they're dogshit since they're (Fossil) not trying to fool anyone.
@@windytv7511 I recommend over other fashion brands. I'd much rather someone buy a Seiko, Timex, or obviously Casio. But if someone likes the look of a certain Armani or Gucci watch, chances are they can find the exact same thing from Fossil for likely 1/5 the cost or less.
I rather like Fossil watches, it's just the price is a little high for what it is. You could get nice Seiko pieces for what it costs for a fossil watch.
My uncle got me a Fossil FS5624 for my 18th. The only problem I've had with it is that the battery only lasted 2 years (I'm used to solar and Casios). It's a little big and heavy (44 mm, 91g), but my wrist accommodates it. It keeps good time, the silicone strap is comfortable, I enjoy the funtionality of the chronograph and diver's bezel, but most importantly, I've had more compliments for this watch than any other. It's not my favourite watch, so I don't wear it too often, but when I do, I hear compliments even days after I've worn it. Everyone loves it on me. I encourage the production of affordable watches. Kids don't care about brand names, and I never would've had a watch if I could only have a Swiss made.
I wanted to get the zodiac super seawolf compression and found it for only $695 brand new, but I kept on seeing in forums people saying they have issues with the stp movements
Not gonna lie, I wear a fossil. I've had two. One disappeared on me and the one I have is battery op. Battery is dead, but it stopped at the exact time of the event that ended my military career. It has some significance to me and has a minimalist design that I actually like. Yes, it's worn. Yes, it has scratches. Yes, it's a fossil. But it's mine. It's a 2014 m9del so I'm pretty sure it isn't worth that much now and Eben if it was it's not in new or even well kept condition. It's just something that I wear so my wrists aren't bare at thus time. Things are finally turning around for me so maybe I could afford a good higher end watch in the future but I just like the minimalist styling.
@nicoleonard brother I own a Fossil, it's just a $100 watch but it's the most expensive one in my collection and my uncle gifted it to me for my 18th bday , keep in mind he owns like a $1000 in watches but doesn't even use them well he just has them thrown in a drawer
My first watch was a tissot le locle powermatic 80, still my best one to this day. Was a grad present. Tissot and Orient remain my favorite brands in my collection
Just don't go quartz with Tissot. I feel that pretty much any quartz above $300 is too much. And I would recommend not to fall in the PRX trap... I tried one before buying and deeply hated it. Tissot look kinda different in person, so my other advice would be go and try it before purchasing.
Tissot is a good entry level brand. But if you can, I’d keep saving until you can afford something better. But, if you’re determined to get into the game on a budget, Hamilton is another good entry point
Actually, until I started digging deep into watch world, I thought Fossil was a good brand, above Timex. Still keep the ones I bought because they were essentially my first watches.
That’s honestly how I got into watches, started with a fossil give to my sister, then another fossil which I bought. Orient, Tissot, Seiko, Tag, and the rest was history
i’m a manger at fossil group. the watches are pretty cool yet very inexpensive. working here got me into watches and gave me more knowledge and experience on watches. pretty cool that fossil owns zodiac i never knew that.
Wait wait legit fossil watches are hella cheaper than Michael kors, burberry and so on, they look amazing,I have a few but never know that about the others, so are they basically over priced fossil watches
Fossil do often make rubbish but they also have 1 or 2 gems here and there. I got my first mechanical last year, and it's a Fossil Neutra. The movement is solid, really beautiful watch too.
I have a couple of Fossil watches.... I love them. Once, when I was in Munich, I purchased a Fossil watch at the duty free.... in 2005, I have it on my wrist today, right now. It's been 18 years, and it has excellent time. My wife bought me one a little over 10 years ago.... it's beautiful and engraved to me. It looks good on my wrist... it isn't ugly or gaudy either. Very contemporary and low keyed.... just like me. I'm a retired working man..... my house costs less than most of this high-end stuff.
Tbh, my very first watch I got was from my late beloved aunt and that too when she passed away and it got quickly got me into watches but whatsoever fossil watches are simple yet stunning and yes they might not be as good as citizen, orient or seiko but in their price range they are fabulous!
I own Rolex's, Cartier, A Piguet, Roger Dubuis, Omega, etc, etc.. and.. Fossil among Casio G Shock.. Fossil and G shock i wear them every day, days a week, and the expesives ones, Friday, Saturday and.. Sunday's... so most of us, we collect watches, just to have the pleasure of owning them, to wipe them clean, to look at them in their winders... but except my Rolex Submariner, that is like a tank as resilient, i wear the G Shock's and Fossil's in every day life... They are great, accesible, reliable, watches
I don’t hate everything fossil does. My first watch (and only automatic atm) is a fossil. My collection consists of 3 watches and it’s easily the prettiest I have. The watch is special to me. Probably won’t get another fossil, but as a gateway drug, it did well for me and has been decently accurate too for an automatic around $100 at the time
Let’s be completely honest here. For the money, Rolex are crap too. And if they all had Timex on the front, no one would want them either. If every Rolex model Was priced at a £100, no one would wear one. So it’s got nothing to do with the watch.
The Rolex Submariner showed in this video looks better than a regular submariner. The bezel seems thinner. Can someone tell me where i can find one or at least the model number. Thanks
This bullshitter never mentioned Zodiac in any of his prior lists and is now saying they are better than Rolex... He also released a full length video purely advertising the brand. Always remember guys, if the person is a watch retailer they are not an impartial reviewer...

I grew up wearing Fossil definitely a soft spot for them. I liked some of their designs, along with Skagen. But I wouldn’t wear them today.
Fossil watches are awesome :-) They are affordable and high quality, no matter the quartz or automatic movement. Can't go wrong with them :-)
