It's Much Bigger Than It Looks!, March 4, 2010
This review is from: Fossil Men's Watch Leather Strap ME1070 - WW (Watch)
I have to say that I love, love, love this watch. The partially exposed mechanical-guts look is way cool, and I love that it is a self-winding hybrid (can be manually wound or wound by body movement, but has a battery for backup).
My sole caveat to any potential buyers is that the watch is WAY bigger than it looks on the screen. Since there isn't a photo of it being worn on an adult arm, you do not get an honest sense of its scale. When I wear it, it looks almost like a regular adult's watch would on a toddler's arm. That's not to say it's too big and ill-fitting. The face is simply 1.5 to 2 times larger than the typical watch face. It's as if some engineers designed a "large print"-faced watch for people with poor vision. You will get looks when you are wearing this watch, and I mean that in a positive way.
By the same token, owners of this watch must take care not to swipe or bang the face against hard surfaces, such as counter tops or door frames. Now that you are carrying TWICE the watch face than normal, it's very easy scratch, chip, or crack its beautiful crystal. Careful where you swing your watch arm! If you can get past the extra responsibility that comes with such a large, visible face, you will definitely dig this watch.
