Fossil Multifunction or Chinese Tic Crystal Watch

Pros: Cool ticking function, nice styling, relatively inexpensive, batteries last a long time
Cons: Um, maybe a bit heavy?? Not noticeable to me though.

Well, since I am Chinese, this is a really cool thing and when I saw these come out, I immediately wanted one and my parents were nice enough to buy it for me for Christmas. Aah, how nice huh? My model isn't exactly like the one in the picture that you ...

Pros: Quality, Style, Functionality, Excellent Customer Service, Durability, Precision
Cons: Watches made 'limited edition', so each design is made for short time.

I am the owner of 8 Fossil Watches, and I wanted to write a brief summary about the brand and its quality. Fossil has kept up with what is most important in today's watch. There are 3 important factors: Style Function Ease Of Use Cost with Quality ...

Pros: different, looks good with about everything
Cons: will have to have band made smaller

I've been wanting a watch with kanji (Japanese/Chinese characters) on it for a couple years now, and found exactly what I was looking for in this watch.

There were a few choices available, but I chose the "Dragon Tic" watch. Why?
1)...

Pros: great value and great styles that are offered for men and women
Cons: never take one near a lot of heat

I have worked at a Fossil outlet store for over 2 years now (since June '01). I honestly believe the watches Fossil offer are the best for anyone to buy. I have 13 watches, and to date, I have had to replace the battery in ONE of them. Other than that, ...

Pros: Wears in well, reliable, and looks great.
Cons: Only one: the digital seconds do not seem coordinated with the analogue hands.

I've owned a Fossil Big Tic for a year now and have been very pleased at what I got for the price. I have a blue-faced chrome Big Tic. I have received many compliments on it. After a year of continuous use, the watch still looks great, and shows no sign of getting low on battery. There have not been any malfunctions. I purchased the watch in LA, but I live in New Zealand. However, I understand that Fossil will honour any warranty claims through local stores.

The only gripe I have is that the digital seconds on the watch face do not seem correlated with the analogue hands.

Overall, a watch that keeps time, wears well, looks good, and is reliable. And all at a great price.

UPDATE October 2005

Its been two and a half years since I bought this watch and its still going strong. I still haven't replaced the battery. There has been some wear of the metalic surface around the face, just some minor scratching. No discoloration or dulling of the chrome. The watch continues to keep time well. I have had no problems with the strap. A quality product and highly recommended.
