I'm not a big fan of the latest fashion in watches; it seems the bigger the face, the more desirable. I have a friend that has a Divers Watch. It has everything you need to explore the Marianna Trench. The face is huge! It's as big as his wrist. It's thick and clunky and it slides up and down his arm and like it's trying to escape! The band is made of some rubbery poly, and is a very LOUD color (which would go great with a neoprene diving suit I'm sure). I wanted something durable but practical. A nice looking every day watch that would last. My son suggested Fossil watches, so I looked them up and I was impressed by the history. The "triple ten" quality process sounded promising. The battery is supposed to blast TEN YEARS? A ten year warranty? Wow. Okay, I'm interested. I order this Machine Three. When I opened the little tin box I was very pleased with the looks. It reminded me of a stealth fighter jet. The picture does not do this watch justice. I had to remove a link, then I snapped it on. It's almost TOO nice to wear everyday, but that's what I bought it for. It's very sleek looking, thin profile, and classy in it's simplicity.. It's feels substantial but it's not so heavy as to be a distraction. It's balanced enough that the face stays put. The hour and minute hand will glow in the dark for a while after exposure to light. It's been on my wrist ever since. I've worn it for a few weeks now, and there is not a scratch on it! That's unbelievable for me because I am really tough on items that are unfortunate enough to belong to me. The face is just right. It's not a huge face, and it's not too small by any means. It doesn't bang around on my wrist. I may not be able to know what time it is in three different time zones, and I can't explore the bottom of the ocean, but it's a cool looking watch, and it keeps absolutely PERFECT time. I plan on collecting a few. So, Fossil for me? Perfect!
