Customer Reviews:
Great looks, but quality concerns... By K Schroeder
I received this watch from my family for my 36th birthday, and I love the looks of it! I've never had a watch that you could see all of the inner workings, and the self-winding mechanism is extremely cool! However, I have some concerns about the quality. After about 5 days of wear, I noticed water condensation under the crystal. Having not gotten it any wetter than would happen while washing hands or doing dishes, I exchanged it at the department store where I purchased it. The second watch also developed condensation under the crystal within a week of wear! Needless to say i was quite disappointed. I have sent an email to customer service and hope to come to a speedy resolution. I am hoping that the St. Louis area just received a bad batch of this model watch and they can send me a replacement.
Edit 7/25/11: Relic/Fossil sent me a pre-paid envelope and I shipped the watch to their repair center, and received it back a few weeks later. I've now been wearing the watch regularly for a few weeks and so far, no water has re-appeared. Upgrading my review to 4 stars from 3. I'll be sure to post back if the water problem re-occurs!Mine squeaks, too! By J. Petrosky
Got this watch just today (from a different retailer,new, for a REALLY good price) and mine is already squeaking when I move it too much. Yes, I removed a link just as a previous reviewer noted. Hopefully this resolves itself quickly (and quietly, pun intended) or I will be contacted the retailer/manufacturer about a replacement.
On the positive side, it DOES look very nice and I expect to wear it for every day as well as special occasions as it seems to fit either style.
Unfortunately, the hands do not contrast well against the face/inner mechanisms so it can often be difficult to discern the time quickly, requiring an extended study of the face to determine where the hands actually are at. This may not seem so from the photo, but perfect lighting aside, this IS an issue.Great watch, looks amazing. By Alex
This watch is stunning. It's casing looks tough, and the gunmetal is a great color and is very unique. But the mechanical center really steals the show and makes it so amazing. I literally would just stare at it for long periods of time. However, it's not out of place at either a formal occasion or one that's decidedly not. Also, both sides are see through, so you can see the small mechanical parts moving from the front or back when it's not on your wrist. I've been wearing it for a while now and it hasn't been scratched or stopped working in any way. Also, ond the back of the watch it says 165 feet water resistant, though I haven't trusted it enough to try it out.Finally, one note of concern is that it slightly squeaks when I move my wrist too much, though I plan to lube it a little with WD-40. This only started happening when I removed a few links.
This is a great watch that is well worth the $90. It definately looks more expensive.
