Product Description

The Fossil Story

Founded in 1984 when timepieces were created more for function than fashion, Fossil began to transform this notion with its unique combination of vintage 1950s Americana design and affordably accessible cool style. Adding to their collectibility were the one-of-a-kind, trademark tins that came with the watches that mixed a creative spirit with a sense of humor. These iconic boxes are nearly as popular as the watches they hold and are regularly collected and traded throughout the world at flea markets, antique shops, and on eBay.

Today, Fossil produces over 300 different styles of watches in a continuously changing lineup. While the majority of designs are created by in-house designers, Fossil has reached out to such contemporary artisans as product designer Philip Starck and famed architect Frank Gehry (designer of the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain) to create uniquely modern timepieces. In addition to style innovations, Fossil has also helped introduce innovative technologies into watches, such as the Wrist PDA that ran the Palm operating system. Fossil also offers complementary lines of small leather goods, belts, handbags, sunglasses, jewelry and apparel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Picture doesn't do this watch justice., March 20, 2009

The picture used here really shows a stunning watch, but I had no idea just how gorgeous it would be until I saw it in person. It's truly stunning.

The rose gold is a little lighter than copper, but accentuates red and other autumn colours quite well. The black of the ion coating is matte on the flat side (almost a matte black brushed steel look to it) and glossy on the edges.

This is the perfect watch for those who want a striking look to accompany their business casual autumn colours, or for those with darker skin than mine to wear with other colours (pale-skinned people, take note -- if there's a good bit of blue in your skin, this may look a little odd). However, the black surrounding all of it helps to tone down any clashes it may have, and it's guaranteed to look stylish with a variety of clothing choices.

As for functionality, it's basic. Time, day, date, and seconds. The hour and minute hand are 'luminescent' (glow in the dark), so you should be able to see them in the dark for a while. I've several Fossil watches, and like all the others, the 11 year warranty is outstanding, and the watch mechanics are in prime condition. You won't be disappointed.

I really love the watch as the rose colored gold is not over bearing and it goes with dress or casual attire. One comment was made about the dates being small, and it does take more than a quick glance to see the date. The day sub dail however can be easily seen, and having a sub dial for the second hand is a rather nice touch that is not seen very often in this price range of watches. Overall I am very pleased with this watch and would recommend it to others.

This review is from: Fossil Men's Multi-Function Black Dial Watch #BQ9348 (Watch)

I wanted a watch that had chronograph features but would look good with both casual and business attire to replace (supplement) my yellow faced Pulsar that wasn't a full blooded chronograph with its second hand and date that I've had for 10 years. Its a fine watch keeps good time like my 3 Seikos but didn't lend itself to more dressy occasions.

I searched a bunch of watch websites and actually came across this Fossil multi function early on in my hunt. I wanted a black dial with day of week, second hand, and date (3 separate dials) without the usual chronograph bevel. I also wanted a watch that was larger than my Pulsar which is about 38mm across so that, with my senior citizen vision, I could easily read the time o' day. And it had to have easy to see highly contrasting colored hands on that black background. And it had to be a really classy looking watch preferably with gold highlights with a black band or bracelet and it would help it it kept reasonably accurate time.

Sure I came across some watches that were a bit more dazzling in what I was looking for but I couldn't see investing in a watch that costs a couple of house payments that can be lost, stolen, or run over by a truck.

Well, this Fossil met all my requirements and it was just 59 bucks.

I got me one on Amazon. When I opened that neat tin box it came in it was even more than I hoped it would be.
Have to confess that the watch picture on the Amazon website has a pinkish look to the hands, numerals, and rim. Made me a bit nervous...I'm not into pink. But after reading one of the owner reviews that said it has a more of a coppery look I felt better about ordering it and when I took it out of the box it looks more gold than copper to me anyway. Which pleases me to no end. The gold numerals catch light very nicely and enhance the readability of the dial.

But the bottom line this is one elegant watch. It's bigger than my Pulsar (42mm) feels good and looks good on my arm. I couldn't be more pleased. Went to a Fossil store at one of the malls here and they sized it at no charge.
