But there’s a level attention and detail that’s nuanced and worthy of praise.ĭoes the bracelet material feel like a lesser quality stainless steel? Sure. Imagine my surprise when I discovered I didn’t hate this Fossil watch bracelet and that I in fact preferred to keep using it rather than swapping it out.ĭon’t get me wrong – I’m not going to sit here and tell you that you’re going to get a $1000 bracelet on a watch under $100. It’s just a given that you’re going to hate the bracelet and you should immediately prepare to swap it out with something else. Most watch enthusiasts who are as jaded and disillusioned as I have become immediately know that any bracelet under $100 is trash. The long protruding lugs with their unique almost architectural horn shape evoke an almost vintage style watch case. ![]() ![]() Honestly the shape of this timepiece is what originally drew me to it. When you sit and really look at the case, you can really appreciate these interplays.Īll of these different polishes and textures are accentuated by the unique shape of the Fossil Watches Minimalist. Then on top of that a polished fixed bezel holds the domed crystal in place. The underside of the watch is polished while some of the middle and lug-top features are matte. The main structure of the watch features an interesting blend of two-tone polished and matte features. The lug to lug is so bad that it sticks out past the width of my wrist (granted at 6.75 inches, I don’t have a large wrist). This low profile is slightly undercut but the timepiece’s overall dimensions. At only 7mm thin, this watch has a very low profile and sits very comfortably on my wrist. The minimalist line from Fossil Watches is characterized best by its thinness. ![]() So I opted for The Minimalist, one of the more popular 3 hand quartz movement stainless steel watch models from the brand, to use a representative of Fossil Watches’ build quality. The sheer number of models they have produced made it a bit daunting to figure out which one to review. So I wanted to put myself out there and take on this write up to really get a sense of the quality that Fossil Watches puts into their timepieces. Is the hate that watch collectors cast down on Fossil Watches justified? Is the brand putting out a subpar product for an over-inflated price tag to dupe the consumer? That’s what the watchfam usually states is one of the big issues with Fossil Watches.
