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.

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.

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.

[@jackdaniels8030]

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.

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.

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.

Fossil is by no means a bad brand. It's a very beginner friendly brand with affordable, stylish watches. They provide good quality and keep the time well. I got into watches by buying a Fossil at one of their stores in Berlin, which provided me great service. Sure theres better watches for the price, but that takes some research and can be very overwhelming for someone who doesn't even have a watch yet. Fossil makes great watches for people who want something stylish and on top of that they provide quality and reliability.
