Relic by Fossil Men's Damon Automatic Stainless Steel Dress Watch

The hour and minute hands are clear. And have little white tips. So it can be hard to read. Doesn’t glow in the dark. So if it’s dark you will not be able to read the time without a light. Is water proof but don’t take a bath in it or a very long shower. It’s an awesome watch that keeps on going. And it’s an attention getter and a beautiful time piece to wear. It’s automatic so with the movement of the wrist it will keep it ticking for years to come. Fossil makes truly quality products that can stand the test of time. But with the Relic Damon Automatic. You’re going to have to care for it. Take it off when showering. Wind it about 3 rotations to 15 a day. And treat it like it’s a Rolex and it will last you for a very long time. There is no battery. So you will never have to worry about your time piece going dead on you. If you can get past you can’t read it in the dark. And it will take a little learning curve to learn how to read it. It’s a beautiful design and a wonderful time peace with a beautiful mechanical display front and back. This watch will serve its purpose and you will look good wearing it for years to come.

I was quite unsure when I bought this watch, because I had read certain reviews. There seemed to be quality control issues, and if you got a good one you were in good shape, but that it was a crapshoot.However, many of the main complaints that I read were from many years ago, so my hope was that they had had time to iron out the kinks.I don't know if that's true or not, but I do know that it works perfectly! I've been wearing it daily for months now. It keeps time very well, and the "auto-wind" functionality is perfect.I genuinely couldn't be happier. And on top of all of that, it looks GREAT! Sometimes I enjoy just watching the little flywheel snap back and forth, it's quite mesmerizing.I also found that the "band squeaking" complaint is not an issue. After wearing it for just a day, giving it a chance to break itself I'm, there was no longer any band noise.I have not tested the waterproof-ness, because I'm not willing to risk destroying it. I just take it off before showers or swimming. There is no backlight or glowing material, so it's difficult to read in low light. These are small complaints, all things considered.I definitely recommend this watch for anybody looking for a really handsome, mechanical watch without breaking the bank.I will likely get another one after this one breaks. (Providing it lasts long enough)

Love this watch thus far. You can see through it and it's received many compliments on my wrist.

The media could not be loaded.  I believe what they listed was lug to lug distance which is indeed 50 mm. The watch is very interesting and is very beautiful (and artistic). It’s certain to attract attention. I just received it yesterday, so haven’t had the time to experience other’s opinions in regard to this watch.So far, it’s kept time rather accurately. I don’t expect it to be perfect as the accuracy of mechanical watches are not (typically) that of quartz movements. The hands (hour and minute) are very difficult to see. This has to be a design flaw because this renders the watch as not useful in situations where you need to see the time- you can always just use your phone, I assume (as I tend to do often). Of note, the second hand is quite visible and the minute hand is next (with respect to visibility), while the hour hand is least visible.My title (above) mentions the size of the watch. I was rather hoping for a 50 mm Case Size. Also, the watch is very thick. Ideally, a thinner and bigger version with hands that stand out (visibly) would have been perfect for me.I’m keeping this watch because I do like it - it’s growing on me fast. This is my first mechanical watch. While I realize it’s not a very high end watch, it appears well built (enough); and, is certainly so eye catching that my fascination with the watch movement has been stimulated. I am though considering substituting the leather (brown) band with a heavy (probably gold tone) metal bracelet one- I think that will give it a more all around thick appearance, balancing the thickness of the case with the band better. We will see…See my video and photos.

It was a gift and he loved it

I originally purchased this watch three years ago and loved it. A couple of months ago, I slipped on a we street and broke the watch. I bought a replacement and in two days to broke. I contacted Amazon and they sent me a replacement and made arrangements for me to send back the broken one. Fine. I received the replacement and in five weeks it broke. Same problem. The automatic mechanism stopped functioning.I loved this watch, which is why I got another when I broke my original, but these latest batches are defective. Amazon only had a 30 day warranty, so I couldn't send it back. I have to go through the manufacturer now to get a replacement or refund. Stay away, people. These are defective.

The media could not be loaded.  Very nice watch! As of writing this review I've used this watch for about 2 weeks, Very nice time keeper, losing about 5 seconds over 2 days. The automatic winding is very smooth, I haven't manually wound this watch for the past week and the spring is still nice and tight.Lots of compliments! All the components are easy to see and the watch is so see through I could bring it up to my eye and clearly make out my father's face through it from just a few feet away. I've attached a photo of the watch against a white display to help showcase this along with the rest of the photos.the ONE thing is the watch is I can see about the complaints about it being hard to read, the hand are a bit thin but for me it's not a problem. The hands do glow by the way but it's only where the white paint is so it's dull.Overall, great watch! Worth the money big time.

My man loves this watch, it’s beautiful
