A nice digital watch that have everything I demand of a watch, it also have a very nice and "clean" design......
Amazon is very reliable to purchase from, even if you live on the other side of the globe, and UPS have very fast delivery...... |

I've had this watch for over two years and wear it daily. Biking, working, going out. It works for all occasions. I have received many, many compliments on the watch. I've changed the battery once and replaced the band once in two years time. The steel has a few noticeable scratches, but the face still looks brand new.
All and all it is a very good watch does what it is supposed to do well and it's biggest feature is that it looks good.
There are a few annoyances I've had that may be important to note.
First, this watch is not very easy to see in daylight or artificial light. I would say I have to use the built in light about 80% of the time I look at the watch. the light is great and very bright but using it so much drains the battery. this is a problem because you have to take it to a jeweler to be replaced and it took them an hour to do it. not to mention you need two hands every time you look at the watch...
second, the band broke after a year and starts to stink after a few months of use while being active, running, biking etc... if you sweat the band holds the smell. the only fix is to replace the band. it's only $10 to buy a new band, but it's a hassle to get the band, you have to email diesel and then they direct you to their department (at fossil) and they ship you a new band. which then leads to another trip to the jeweler to replace the band plus more $ to have the work done.
I gave it 4 stars cause it does look good, but this is more of a casual watch, not something you'd want to wear everyday if you are active. also the "tips" function is silly and useless, a novelty that wears off quick and adds to the battery depletion. |
A different kind of watch

I have had this watch for a while now, and still quite pleased with my purchase. First of all it was way cheaper on Amazon.com than any other place. Second it shipped quite quick. It has a "retro futuristic" look to it, has features like two time zones (witch really had me confused at a special ocation as I did not know I had switched), "tip of the day" and other nifty things. As I am not the kind that sits down with the manual, I find some of the features hard to understand, but it tells the date and time.
On the upside; it is as cool as it appears in the picture.
On the downside; it is not always easy to glance at the watch in difficult light as the colors are inverted.
It is easily scratched if you are not careful. It is a bit difficult to operate.
But as I said; I have had it for more than a year, and am still pleased with it. :-) |
