If I buy the watch with my own money, then yes, I do care about the design and the build quality. Currently owning 3 different Seikos, 2 G-Shocks, 1 Edifice, 1 Breitling Avenger and some other microbrands, still my most favorite and my most valuable watch is my Tommy Hilfiger watch given to me by my wife 🤣

I have an old Fossil, my wife bought me. Switched the strap two times, fully scratched and wore it, until it didn't worked anymore. Even tried to have it serviced. It's always different, when it was a gift.

Chinese watches are my go-to for looks and performance in one cheap price

That's great, my wife studied my collection of citizen, casio and orient watches, and I end up with a citizen promaster skyhawk blue angels edition. It's one of my favorite watches, even if it is on a bigger side. The sentimental value is the most important. 👍👍👍

I remember my uncle called my seagull 1953 a piece of crap because it was chinese. This is all the while he was rocking the tissot prx quartz. Great watch but it's a hype train

I’m not a fashion watch fan, but Fossil has a small place in my collection. I was fascinated with watches as a kid, and when I joined the Army in 2001 and got that first adult paycheck, I bought a Fossil because everyone I knew had one. I loved it, and still have it. It’s a fossil Arkitekt that’s about 22 years old now. I don’t wear it anymore because a new battery only seems to make it work for a few weeks now, and it falls off time almost 5 minutes+ a day when it is working. But I still keep it, just because it started this fun hobby. On a side note, I do enjoy the look of the watch and how outdated and small it is, but that was stylish in 2001. That’s why we call it a fashion watch.

Obviously, you don't want to overpay for a cheap watch because of the name on the face, and you also don't want one so cheap that it breaks. But at a certain point, I have to wonder if the hate for some "fashion watches" is unwarranted. I've had a Treehut and a Fossil for years that were both gifts, and besides replacing the batteries when they die, they've been flawless. They keep time accurately enough that I never need to adjust them. I'm sure they aren't perfectly accurate, but I'm not going to sweat over +/- a minute or 2 over a mylti-year period. So if it works, it's a design you like, and it's a price you're comfortable paying, I don't see the issue. With quartz movements, I feel like as long as they work, a watch is a watch. Yet people look down on brands like Fossil like it's something to be ashamed of owning/wearing. It's a sub-$100 watch, who cares?

Most people are ok with fossil. They just aren't considered watches for watch enthusiasts because of their price to performance ratio and specs. If I do want cheap tho, I could go chinese and get a great mecaquartz watch for under 30$

@psychicpants8856 10 ай бұрын

I don’t think “fashion” watches care about how the design looks. 90% of them are god awful ugly

@oshoc01 10 ай бұрын

Just before I jumped in the watch enthusiast boat, I bought 3 Fossil watches at the outlets just because they were cheap. I regret that now but I can't get rid of them because they represent one of my first steps in the hobby.

@takethecurseOFFwashingmachine 10 ай бұрын

The first watch I bought for myself was a fossil that I wore, almost exclusively, for about 10 years. At the time I wasn’t a self diagnosed watch obsessive. I still have it, and although I can’t see myself getting another fossil watch, it holds a very important place in my collection.

Fossils are great starting watches, just gift them away and proceed to your next watch

To be fair, no watch is worth the price tag. You buy them because you like em. Not because it's cost efficient. Some "investment" pieces have different purposes as well.

You know i love this channel. Great content as always. Ive got to ask if ive never owned a watch should start with a quartz, hand wound, auto? Like an the case of the prx just for conversations sake. I can get a quarts for like 250-300 now or the powermatic 80 for like 500-800. Im just say dreaming because im broke as hell but wonder whats what. Like if it was the cw12 that is the base model i understand the 1200$ Or like some Hamilton's are much cheaper as quartz. IDk whats what. Help me sensei lol
