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 collectability 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. With a rich leather strap, our industrial-inspired Machine twist watch combines the accuracy of a quartz movement with the aesthetics of a finely designed automatic.

Finely Crafted Watch
This watch is definitely a eye catcher. All of the photos and videos online don't show how finely crafted this watch is. Every little detail is perfect.The seconds wheel works well as a stop watch. Not bad. The moving gears really add to the coolness factor of this watch. The actual time telling hands in the watch are powered by a quartz movement which is very accurate. No molding marks are apparent on the watch. All paint inside the watch is applied very precisely. My watch was sold by StoreVip in Florida. They were well rated and promised fast shipping. I received my watch two days before the closest possible shipping date in California. It was sent through USPS with free priority shipping as standard. It was well packaged and the tin was in good shape. Something that is not mentioned in the specs of this watch is how thick the band is. It is about twice as thick as some of my other watches. It is very stiff but it should soften up over time. The watch I received has a small chip about the size of a grain of sand on the edge of the mineral glass. It was probably done during manufacturing. Most people won't notice it. I wish I knew how that was done considering the hardened mineral is very tough. I wish the warranty covered the mineral glass because the chip is very apparent to me. That's the only problem with the watch so far. It is definitely worth the money for this precisely made watch.*Update*The seconds assembly stopped working four months after I got the watch. It appeared that something was rubbing inside the watch, preventing it from moving. I took it into the Fossil store and showed them the problem. They said I could get it fixed for free without even checking the warranty. They sent it out for free. I got to keep the old tin and manual for the watch. I received the same model watch about four weeks later. It was a brand new watch. It came in a new tin with a new instruction book. It still had the tags on the watch. The crystal face was perfect on this watch. So far this watch has been functioning perfectly.

Striking and well built
This is a nice watch I have had it for a couple of weeks now and I absolutely love it and so do others it does not feel cheap by any means which may have to do with its heaviness but that doesn't bother me. The watch is awesome if you are on the fence about it don't hesitate it was well worth the cost!

Don't work well
I got my watch 4 months ago, the watch was working well the past 3 months, lately it's been having delays and sometimes I look at it and I found that the time stopped.I am sure I never dropped it or anything like that.I am unhappy cause I really like this watch

Dead after a day
Cool watch, BUT, it died after only 1 day. Probably just the battery, presumably from being old stock. It was for my son, and he decided he wanted a different watch anyway, so I returned it.The sad thing is if I had wanted to keep it. Amazon doesn't have any way of just sending me a new battery and a few bucks to go to a jeweler. Seems wasteful.

Clean lines
This watch was a gift for my 21-year old son; he is a well-dressed guy, more of classic men's wear look. This watch looks better "in person"-my son saw this in a store and asked for it; I was kind of surprised when I saw it online-it didn't look like something that he would like, but when it arrived, I saw that it was much better than I had thought. It has a nice weight, and is well-designed. The silver triangles don't stick out in person as much as they do in pictures; it is well-balanced, easy to read the smaller face, and looks modern, but clean and simple when worn.

Awesome watch!
Almost bought this from the fossil store. Glad I didn't. Saved $50 plus tax by ordering it from amazon. This is a semi automatic watch which means there is a mechanism that winds up when you move (twist) your watch. The watch will then run off of the winding mechanism that you see moving through the front glass face. When your watch has not moved it simply runs off the normal watch battery. Very cool watch for a decent price!

A good looking watch.
This fossil twist keeps time via a battery operated quartz movement. The left side is the skeleton (visible gears)which usually provide movement in a mechanical or automatic watch,but in this watch they merely power the seconds dial in the bottom area. Really they just give it a cool look and I recommend it for people who want the convenience of quartz i.e.good timekeeping without any winding or required wrist movement but like the skeleton look. A little movement gets the mechanical side moving for quite a long time but even if it stops the timekeeping ability does not.

Just go for it..!!!
It's been 2 months since I purchased this watch and not a single day has gone without getting complements for it. It looks really sexy on any outfit doesn't matter formal or casual.The design is really classy..! Looks much more expensive than it's offered price.I've researched almost 2 month before buying this watch and enquired in many fossil stores. It's not available in any of their stores as the manufacturing is stopped. Hence, it's a great chance to grab something which no other person is gonna have. It's going to be your unique watch.
