4.0 out of 5 stars Honest Opinion, January 4, 2010

By

This review is from: S+arck - O-Ring Watch (Watch)

I have no stake in this but I felt I needed to give a fair assessment. I own this watch and wear it almost all the time. I will say this, it is not a small watch but it is not as big as people are saying. I have about an 8 in wrist and I cut the original band. I think the watch was bigger than expected but I go used to it. One thing I agree with is it is not backlit ie no light. Ok that sucks and it couple have fixed easily but not a deal breaker. The fact is a lot of watches are not backlit.

Onto the good stop it is an eye catcher. Everywhere I go people ask me about it an love it. Its a great conversation starter in a room and way to meet girls. I personally like the idea of having something unique and stylish than some expensive watch that makes a completely different statement. The watch is very comfortable and water resistant. Its relatively cheap (at least in my opinion) and for the money you get a good reliable cool watch that is easy to read for you but draws others to you to ask whats that. If you don't want the attention get a timex.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth it..., August 12, 2009

By 

Emmly (Midwest) - See all my reviews

This review is from: S+arck - O-Ring Watch (Watch)

This watch is large and uncomfortable. It's a lot bigger than you might think or want it to be. (Mine happened to arrive in not working condition, but of course, this is a seller issue).
It's not "made right", the band is not flexible to where you can wear this comfortably. It's stiff and unusually thick. It's one of Fossil's worst out there and for the price, it isn't worth it.
The idea is great, but the execution leaves something to be desired.
And by the way, good luck trying to get a refund from Fossil.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Unique, with a Couple of Issues, July 25, 2011

By 

Jared (Northern Virginia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: S+arck - O-Ring Watch (Watch)

I received this watch as a gift in March 2011. It was purchased duty free on a Lufthansa flight coming back from Europe. It is a very unique and stylish watch, which causes me to get a lot of compliments and comments from people in passing. The band was way too big when I first got it, so I took it to a Fossil shop to get it sized. They had it off my wrist and back on (nicely fit) in about 15 minutes. The band is made of a rubbery material and must be cut to the correct size. If done wrong, there is NO going back. I must stress this point, as the employee at the Fossil shop told me that it is better to have it a bit loose then too tight (you can always take more off, but can't add any back). As others have stated, there is no backlight, so telling time in the dark is near impossible. At that point I usually pull out my cell phone to get the time.

Pros:
- Gets LOTS of attention
- Very unique
- Band is mostly made of a rubber material and thus waterproof and basically scratch-proof
- No visible buttons or sharp corners to snag on things

Cons:
- No backlight
- Telling the exact time is a bit tricky and requires a couple of seconds
- The hour number is not always easily visible and you must tilt your wrist to get a "good angle"
- If you size the watch too small, there is no way to fix it
- For those with small wrists, this watch may be big. (I added a photo of the watch on my wrist at the top of the page)

I enjoy this watch very much, and would suggest it to anyone that wants something unique and different. I have worn it almost everyday for the past 5 months and have had no problems, only compliments.
