YOU are the battery. Beautiful throw back.
Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2018

I have read several reviews of people talking about they think they're battery is broken or dead when they get their watch. Let me say this first, these watches do not use batteries. You are the battery. When you're wearing your watch and walking around and doing your usual thing the watch runs and works based off of your energy and movements that is how this works. If you take it off and lay it on the dresser and leave it for a while it will stop., then when you put it back on and you have to reset the time. That being said, it is a beautiful watch and exactly what I wanted. I was really intrigued with the styling, the exposed gears, and the use of my movement to make the watch work and control the gears so to speak. If you can deal with an occasional reset because you decided to put it up then you won't be disappointed. I tend to wear mine almost all the time except for showering or in the rain so hopefully this will clear it up a little bit about the battery (unbattery)and why it keeps stopping.

Love, love, LOVE!!! Received this as a gift for my birthday and have gotten so many compliments on it, even from my stepdaughter who's 12 years old! Would high recommend this watch..

Update: 3/1/18 this is my second watch, had to send the first one back because one of the needles fell off. I alternate between this watch and another watch, I haven’t worn this one in a little while. This morning I noticed that another needle fell off! This watch looks great but I have to take 3 stars away because it seems like this watch was cheaply made.

NOT WATERPROOF AT ALL
Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2019

I love this watch, but IT IS NOT WATERPROOF. I washed my hands while wearing it, and about 30 minutes later the watch face was fogged. I took it home, put it in rice for 36 hours, took it out, put it on, and within 5 minutes the face was fogged again. Now its garbage.
**UPDATE**
I put the watch in rice for 48 hours, then when I put it on and tried to set the time, THE PIN CAME OUT 🙄

Beautiful sporty watch for women.

I love the look & size of this watch & Fossle is one of my favorite watch brands!
This is one is a beautiful women’s sport watch that’s also a “smart watch. It has aesthetically interesting details from the large, easy to read face to the cool watch band. I have to admit that I’m not smart enough to figure out what it does or how to setup & use, but I just need to go to the Fossil site & read the instructions. It does bother me that you have to go online just to learn about a product but I know that they’re probably trying to be eco friendly, but I suspect it’s a lot cheaper not to include a booklet.
The one complaint I do have is that this watch has a very thick casing & I have to remember to be mindful about bashing it on things while I’m wearing it.
Overall I love this watch & will undoubtedly like even more when I figure out how to use the smart features.
You can’t go wrong with Fossil products & this is just another example of their wonderful designs.
I recommend this watch for anyone who likes quality watches at a fairly affordable price.

Absolutely gorgeous.

Color: Rose Gold, BlueVerified Purchase
This is the most gorgeous watch ever. I ended up with this one after buying a beautiful rose gold Michael Kors one I'd lusted after forever but after about five days, the band was crazy scuffed up from just me typing at my desk! I was so disappointed. I ended up with this because of the leather band (because of the sciffs on the MK one) and that it still had a white face and rose gold touches. This thing shows off! I get compliments from strangers. I have a tiny, tiny child-size wrist and can still wear it on the third notch, so I know it'd fit even smaller wrists and the band isn't bulky. I love the big face - it's just the right width to really show up on a petite girl. I couldn't begin to say how much I adore this watch. It's the first thing I put on every day! Also, I've had it three months and worn it through everything and it's still absolutely flawless, not a scratch on the leather, the metal, or the glass. If you are on the fence...buy it!!!!

Beautiful watch *UPDATE*
Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2019

Got my watch early and it came in the Fossil tin (Christmas edition lol). The leather band is very soft and makes wearing the watch quite comfortable, even for someone like me who hasn't worn a watch in years. While I was a bit worried about the blue color it isn't vibrant at all, the color is subtle and accents the watch face beautifully. The second hand is blue and really helps to bring the while thing together! The watch face itself is absolutely lovely, the rose gold is exactly what I wanted and the larger face looks great. It is a bit heavy for me, but I'm pretty sure that is just because I'm not used to it yet. I plan to update this in a month once I'm used to it and hopefully I'll still love this wonderful piece just as much then as I do now!

*UPDATE*
I'm still in love. It just took some getting used to and now it feels like a piece of my arm. Watch still working perfectly and the blue color of the band leather hasn't worn or rubbed off at all, there is also no discoloration on the watch itself. 10/10 would buy again if the unthinkable were to happen.

It's really nice looking and I get several compliments on it. I have a small wrist but the leather band has enough holes in it to keep it sitting in the right place. Really good investment.

I absolutely love this watch
Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2018
Color: Rose Gold, BlueVerified Purchase
I absolutely love this watch. My husband got me the rose gold watch face with a couple bands for my bday. The rose gold face when bought by itself cost a lot more than this one and has a yellow colored face. This one has more of a white face on the rose gold which I like much better! I got this for the white face on the rose gold and had planned to cut the navy band off. Reviews had said the band is not removable BUT IT IS. I was so delighted that you could take this navy band off and on. But you know what I have so far only worn as is- the navy and rose gold look great together and surprisingly goes with a lot more than I thought- ecspecially when I wear darker jeans- which is often- this watch is my go to now. Eventually I'd like to get another tan band- but right now I'm loving this watch as is! AMAZING price also here on amazon. My husband spent two hundred for the rose gold face and two bands at fossil. We returned and got this for less than half the price. I also love how the leather band goes under the face of watch, so comfy.

Love it. Chunky but still feminine.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 8, 2019
Color: Silver, TanVerified Purchase
I usually go for quite delicate watches (unlike all my other jewellery) but have always tended to love men's watches.. This is great - a mix between the two. Fantastci quality, and lovely design features (although the three tiny dials are for aesthetics only and are not functional - which I didn't realise). It is a large face, and is quite bulky in terms of the depth of the face itself - so it is a chunky watch in this respect, but that's what I wanted. Having said that, I wear my watch on the inside of my wrist and have noticed it much more than I have any other watch (for example, when typing etc). Still really love it. Very comfortable to wear - not heavy. Very good quality. Only just received it, so any problems will amend review.

Perfect, beautiful and light to wear
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 31, 2018
Color: Silver, TanVerified Purchase
This is an amazing watch. I have quite sensitive skin and I couldn’t wear watches for long hours. This one, when I have put on I can’t take off! It’s so light, and although bulky in design it’s very very light and you can’t feel you wear anything on your wrist!!

Additionally I adore the design, it’s big face corresponds very well with the delicate - ladies strap. It is just perfect.

I have also received it very fast, and I really hope it will last me long as it’s the most comfy and the nicest watch I’ve had so far. My previous watch was also a big ladies Diesel watch. But I can’t even compare the two!
Thanks Fossil!!

Possibly fake!

Suspect this watch is a fake! The slanted chronograph dials and date box are flat and the dial is not “white”, it is an off white colour. Returning immediately!

This was for a gift and the recipient loved it. Received well packaged and delivered next day. Appears to have been well made, lovely rose colour and a good solid strap.

Nice and chunky but not too heavy. Neutral colour strap flatters both the watch and the wrist. Lots going on on the dial makes it quirky and interesting. I love it!
