About Fossil Men's Machine Stainless Steel Quartz Watch
Overall Feedback:
87% positive
71% liked the lightweight feel
I feel that the case and bracelet on this watch have a substantial feel and good weight to it, making the overall package feel expensive.
The weight of the watch is 'just right'. It feels substantial and of excellent quality build without being too heavy.
64% found it waterproof, but 36% weren't satisfied
This watch is water resistant, which is rare among watches that claim to be waterproof.
I have worn the watch while showering, swimming and doing dishes, and there was no moisture inside the glass, proving that it is waterproof.
The watch was advertised as water resistant to 50m and suitable for recreational swimming, but after swimming just a few laps, there was visible condensation inside the watch face.
The waterproofing of my watch is not good. The first watch got water into it from the pool in less than 3 months and the second watch started to fog up inside the glass after a few years.
86% appreciated the high-quality strap, but 14% found it wore out quickly
I would have preferred a heavy-duty plastic strap for the price I paid as the straps of the watch are made of plastic rubber and feel cheap.
67% liked the easy-to-read display, but 33% found it hard to read in low light
The clock face is easy to read in normal lighting situations, but there is no backlighting for dark hours.
I found the manual that came with the watch difficult to read due to the small print, so I had to watch YouTube videos to understand how to use it.
I find the watch difficult to read in normal lighting and the styling needs an update.
85% found it durable
The watch is pretty durable. I have accidentally whacked and scraped the metal and glass surfaces against all sorts of stuff, but so far there are no scratches except for a minor one on the clasp.
The crystal glass is very durable and scratch resistant. I have banged it a few times on various objects and it has never retained even a tiny scratch.
87% liked the stylish design
The styling of the watch caught my attention initially with its machine look, knurled bezel, large concave buttons, layout of the face, blue subdial hands, and overall black coloring. It also catches the attention of most people who see it.
The design of my watch is well-integrated with a rugged, machined look due to the rough textured bezel.
84% found it comfortable to wear, but 16% found the strap irritating
The watch is lighter in weight than a Luminox and comfortable to wear with less pressure and nicks on my hand.
The silicone band is very soft and bendable, providing maximum comfort, but I almost wish it was more rugged and sturdy. It just feels delicate.
64% appreciated the long battery life, but 36% reported frequent battery changes
I need a new battery for my watch even after using it for a couple of months.
