how about the Maserati watches, what's your take on them?

@@slavemi3018that is a car brand so NO!

​@@matyasd007 it's a whole watch brand of its own, that Maserati licensed. that's what I was trying to ask here.

Fossil is a crap brand TBH. its just that people dont have good taste, to buy seiko, casio, etc.

Lol 😅

Harsh, but true.

​@@dparag14 What's worse, their collaboration pieces for fashion brands such as Armani, Michael Kors, Diesel, etc. Are also of as bad of a quality. When I had no idea and dropped my Emporio Armani Meccanico automatic, it broke at the first drop in 2017. Tried bringing it in for a repair after one year but apparently a drop is not covered in warranty. Tried getting it repaired where I bought it and they said the watch isn't even worth it fixing even just after one year. That said a lot to me. Many other brand like a Seiko 5 would have survived a drop from a desk and/or would still hold enough value to be worth it to be repaired. Compared to a Citizen eco-drive that my dad bought me in 2008, the Citizen is still running strong on the original battery (even in 2022). Even at a macro level, you can see citizens have better quality from the dial, alignment, and bezel to the quality of the hands altogether. My second Citizen with sapphire crystal even has 0 scratches on the crystal, just the bangs on the bezel. I could even re-zero the second, minute, hour and all function hands myself so that alignment is perfect (quartz watches suffer from backlash resulting in second hand misalignment). You really get what you pay for and he summed it up real well at 8:30, people just subconsciously trying to convince themselves that they got a good deal and that they got a good investment. I was under that impression until that Emporio Armani watch of mine broke.

Same deal here. Mine was literally the one immediately to the left of the one he picked (the blue chrono with blue lugs.) It still gets a fair amount of wrist time from me.

Same here. They last a long time. Seems like the only thing needing replacing is the straps and batteries.

Shit quality. Awesome looks.

I have a fossil watch since 2005 (blue edition). When people SEE it they Tell me "That's a great watch, it must have cost You an arm and a leg". I take care My watch since then. I worked so hard to get it. People ask me if I sell it, I Say no way!. It remains me all the hard work and sacrifices that I had to do to Buy it. As the quote says "No pain, no gain".

@@omarrangel7586 Bro, they're like the price of a t-shirt.

DiscoFalcon damn I didn’t get it at first. “F”

Most of them are way too big for my wrist and too loud for my style, but Fossil knows how to give many people what they want where others fail. Brands like Seiko and Timex give much better quality for price, yet somehow Fossil still survives. I think it's better to learn from their success than to just mock and dismiss.

@@duckduckboots8382 I'm not mocking them, I'm saying that child labour is an actual possibility with these watches and that people should be aware of this.

Thumbs down... not because I dislike your comment, but for the fact that you're probably right. Child exploitation is definitely not a 'thumbs up' situation. I can only pray that you're wrong. 😟

@@StuntpilootStef something tells me @DuckDuckBoots put their comment in the wrong spot. It seems like that was meant to be a comment on the video itself?

I got a Fossil minimalist on Christmas 2022, i'm 15 as well. It looks really nice to me and it also ignited my passion for watches. Weird

Bulova focuses on automatic movements. If you want good, easy to service, and consistent quartz movements, you can't go wrong with Casio and Citizen.

So if my Fossil battery dies, they will replace it for free at a store location?

who wants a recyclable watch ?

@@onurrcevik it’s the packaging you dingus

I seriously don't understand why people freak out over the packaging, I mean unless it's thousands of dollars it doesn't need to be too pretty

It's a bog roll tube holding a shite watch instead of toilet paper.....

@@9tolife168 I'm gonna borrow that word and use it in daily life from now own 😂😂

Bury it for a million years....

@@johno4521 and men will kill for it

imo avoid brands that produces different kinds of products and none are well made. IMO Fossil is one of those brands that makes overpriced cheap items.

Obviously its a crap watch. I think its a trend that caught on and people just followed without having any good taste.

they make no "bones" about it looking cheap

Damn it what happened at 00:32 ??? Man!! I thought I phone screen broke 😅😅😅

Sounds like how most things are now, Chinese products or similar to them sold for marked up price not meant to last. I've had a fossil watch for over 15 years and it works great still, only problem was I banged the crystal on something at work pretty hard last year and got a slight crack in the corner. Fossil themselves couldn't replace the front it was so old, but I still wear it.

I love my Timex Weekender as well.

I’m old enough to remember watching the tv ads with the cliff divers in Mexico, “Timex, takes a licking, keeps on ticking”. Brilliant piece of advertising!

Look online for a old model 👍iv one it’s about 15 years got it on eBay second hand still going just new battery’s but takes two of em it has digital background.

@seanthomxx2694 Marine Star gang. I got a gold plated Marine Star series A. I love it, and its currently my favourite watch.

I have an older version of this watch too and I must admit that the quality of the newer ones look really poor compared to what I have.

I have one of the new ones, I believe the old ones look better. I got my just tell the time.

@@travelingfox3621 Just to tell the time? Then why didn't you get a cheap but reliable and durable casio or seiko instead of this overpriced piece of garbage?

@@LeChristEstRoi because it was the first one I saw and I know nothing about watches.

Mine also was on sale for $60.

let it rip boi

The "baiblaid" reference killed me hahahah terrible crown action

Not a reference, more like a mention

I said the same thing

@@bruce000000070000000 just 🤔 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rciVna-iua6yY3U.html

Considering this isn't sapphire I might only wish a good luck with replacing it after awhile. That's the main idea behind why major watchmakers don't usually integrate crystal into bezel/case. I replaced mineral crystal to sapphire on my Orient Ray II for ~A$25 myself (that's the main reason why I think Kamasu is slightly overrated over Ray\Mako). And that's a once in a lifetime modification for this watch, as I believe that servicing mechanical Orient movement will cost you more than a new watch, which makes them disposable in ~10-15 years, and sapphire can easily survive that period with no issues.

@@snowmean1 I think people would happy pay to fix them even if it cost he cost of the watch because you can't buy a lot of these watches again l. I have a Fossil watch I can't replace l. nobody selling them and I love it.

@@cooloutac sounds like a terrible investment

@@snowmean1 people who buy watches as Investments sound like terrible investors lmao...

@@cooloutac also true, but repairing something with the cost of that something is beyond my understanding.

I had a Seiko 250 euro, with exactly the same problems Fossil is good he got just the bad one.

@@erhandemir90 I doubt he got the bad one. Even so, that's still a bit of a red flag. Vostok Amphibia has better quality control and yet it's cheaper and more complicated than a quartz watch. In my opinion Fossil watches just kinda suck in general.

We think Fossil is struggling to get the smartwatch market but when it comes to Fashion, Classic Watch Fossil watch⌚ is awesome. 🔥

Lol

Thats because fossil uses Miyota(Japan) & "Quality" Epson Seiko Movements ( ie those manufactured in Japan as seiko also manufactures in china , Singapore ) , which should normally for 20 years + nonstop.

Would you recommande a model for casual use

@@R.Maamri I like the "Neutra" model for casual use. It's a pretty sleek look that suits most situations.

He didn't say how he confirmed it was authentic. Even authorized dealers have been known to sell fake watches there's so many fake foxes out there sometimes I think there's more fakes than real ones. I mean he literally admitted it had different hands than the one in the photo. Lmao.

😁👍

Agree, it renders the tachymeter useless.

True Kieran .. finally a better comment on fossil . Yes it is now a great watch tecnically but obviously will leave the boring crafted watches behind in looks . More than 50 pct of Fossil watches (not this one) have great looks and people do care what watch are you wearing . My first watch which I bought in 2010 was fossil hence lot of emotions are with this brand

Can you suggest me a nice fossil chronograph model available right now?

@@vedulasrikar I'd say townsman (the smaller model), grant, neutra, sport 54 and decker are the best. sport 54 and decker are very speedmaster inspired (decker was always the most popular but does look a little dated in design now admittedly in my opinion) townsman and grant are as minimalist as a chronograph can be and look really sleek. grant is a classic more timeless design that suits literally everyone.

@@kieranrats94 the Neutra (auto) is a nice looking watch that I’m happy to own👍🏼 .. the Townsman or the Grant will probably come next in my collection .. they’re kind of too big for my wrists but I’ve kind of accepted that the majority of Fossil watches are over-sized .. they’re good looking pieces for the price nonetheless.

@@tomasandreas7939 yeah they often sit around 42mm or more. They rarely go under for their men’s watches though There was a 40mm Chronograph called Buchanan that was stunning but it’s a nightmare to find now. Is be wary of their more recent auto’s. They used to use miyota movement’s which were reliable but have since switched to Chinese movements which I can’t say much about.

They used to be good. Now not so much.

@Real Deal this one has better quality than my 250 euro Seiko solar

they still look great

Sounds like we both have the same version.

Yeah...this guy complaining about it being too bulky. Perhaps he should be reviewing watches in the ladies section. lol

Its just that you are wearing a cheap watch

Thats a good watch. Enjoy

I bought one in Pepsi it's awesome

That's one heavy ass watch

@@tylert2413 lmfao

Even then seiko 5 aint ALL that....

Just bought the chronograph sport and I'm extremely happy with it

They're crap.

Yeah £35 is a much fairer price Vs £77 and especially £100+ like mine was

This •

this one is really good,i use it for 3 years

The quality.....I once had a 90 bucks esprit watch and if I dropped it from 2 high it would be still working, cheap watches from brands like this, are quality wise the best you can get

@@juriaanoussoren and so do some casios. But i respect not everybody like casio's design.

@@kleanovodust-bin69 yeah I get it , casio's are pretty though tho, a classic. I ordered a versus versace gold classic leather black strap watch ! See how that one is, mk Mk acces is cracked!So I only have a zenwatch left, and wanted something beautifull not chargeable thats not to big, love my zenwatch over my mk, but I just hate charging and wear os 2(Mk) just conpletly sucks terrible, just like conpletly If I cannot stand my Versace,......with i doubt then I have no choice to go samsung, since they have as only wi charging docks duo chargers lol and nice quality, so I get you point some way or another, my zenwatch is more polished , nicer metal, nicer curved glass screen when it comes to the watch then my mk acces, my mk acces survives a lot tho, while my zenwatch stays scratch free etc etc, you can repair it but it isn't waterproof at all!

So proud of Timex😎

That's got to be the dumbest fucking reason to wear a watch that I've ever heard.

Most people look into Fossil for their affordable price range, like me who can't readily afford a 500 USD watch. For a sleek looking watch within the budget of 150-280 USD, Fossil is the go.

Good point. Probably to make it seem like you got more value for your buck. Then again, people who buy Fossil don't care about the functionality of a Watch.

@@bubblewrapvillain lol yeah. Fashion brand watches are all about the brand

I had a colleague that was wearing a very thin rectangular piece and it looked pretty good. I just had to google them and was pleasantly surprised at the price bracket their watches sit in.

😲

These humble Casio's are way better than this 1970 fashion statement. No weakness at all!

Of all fashion brands, at least, Fossil is trying somewhat with some of its watches.

I have a Fossil watch. The hands hit right on the markers, the glass is decent, it fits me very well, and it is a good watch for me. If you are lucky and know how to choose, you can get a good watch

For me on Amazon, it's showing 139 USD. My Tissot Quickster cost me 148. Yes, it's probably the cheapest watch they make, but it's a damned Tissot chronograph for nearly the same cost as this toy.

I don’t no what’s more garbage you or the watch

@@erhandemir90 Awww... you're triggered.

@@maverickwatchreviews I dont give shit what i dont like to other people

@@erhandemir90 Ok buddy, keep being angry and nonsensical...lol.

@@maverickwatchreviews I am so angry😁

i do have 4 fossil watches. 2 of them a few years old and still nice and usable 1 hybrid that is still great but the quick release on the band is broken. (I do sweat a lot) The hybrid hr died after 4 month but I got it replaced with a brand new one in a matter of minutes from fossil. consider the price these watched where overall better than my citizen that cost 4 times that much and broke after just one year.
