Or4n6e 25 Posted February 18, 2015 Check out the Fossil web site. Obviously it is each to their own but thought they had some nice watches and was specially impressed with the strap selection, leather, nato, bund etc.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wriggles 12 Posted February 18, 2015 Agreed. A few nice designs but still a lot of derivative stuff as well. Nice prices on all. Never really paid attention to them before but will look closer next time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

greg_r 81 Posted February 19, 2015 Fossil's stuff is much improved lately - some very attractive pieces amongst 'em Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kennycoder 97 Posted February 19, 2015 I always though of them as a bit dull, but I have to agree with greg, lately there are plenty of interesting pieces. Maybe they have hired a new designer supervisor or feel the need to drive the brand image a bit higher. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rusty peters 0 Posted February 20, 2015 Those derivative designs really piss me off. Why can't they do something original? I will show myself to the exit. I do think Fossil is hitting it out of the park lately. They even have a few automatics. As much as watch people criticize Fossil, I bet their QC and build quality is far better than what we deal with in our hobby. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Del 4,461 Posted February 20, 2015 Check out the Fossil web site. Obviously it is each to their own but thought they had some nice watches and was specially impressed with the strap selection, leather, nato, bund etc.. I completely agree and have three Fossil's in my collection!

Wriggles 12 Posted February 23, 2015 An interesting article on Fossil found the other day. http://www.watchtime.com/featured/fossil-watches-made-in-switzerland-inside-fossils-swiss-mission/ A brand worth keeping an eye on methinks, although they are to blame for Michael Kors, DKNY etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rusky27 1,755 Posted February 23, 2015 They've also bought the zodiac brand I believe. Which I'll be interested to sea the new sea wolf when it comes out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wriggles 12 Posted February 24, 2015 They've also bought the zodiac brand I believe. Which I'll be interested to sea the new sea wolf when it comes out. They have indeed. Saw an article somewhere online about the new sea wolf. Looked interesting Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
