Fossil Mens Grant

I have been a watch guy my whole life. My collection right now is mostly Citizens because I'm tired of setting automatics when they sit too long. I've got a box with a winder that will hold 4 watches, so that is where the automatics I do have sit, but the rest are really low maintenance watches. I wasn't really in the market for another automatic until I saw this one. I have always loved the look of skeleton watches, but I have found it makes the dial too busy and I can't quickly see what time it is. I don't want to waste 10 seconds doing a 1 second job, so I've never had a skeleton. Then I saw this one and was blown away! It was a dial I could actually read quickly while still exposing the movement of a beautiful mechanical marvel. I've got a couple high end automatics but only one of them has an exhibition back on it, so I don't really get to see the movements unless I take the watch off. I could get lost looking at this dial. It is awesome. Finally I have found a skeleton watch with a dial large enough to be able to expose the movement but still have the time easily read. It's a fantastic piece! The size is perfect. 44mm is about as large as I can go with my 7 1/4 inch wrists. The lugs curve down on this just a bit, so it really feels great on the wrist and looks great too. And I love the navy blue strap. It looks black from a distance, but depending on what you are wearing it starts to stand out when you look at it closer. I think the blue and white and silver combinations on this watch makes it one of the best looking pieces in my collection. At about a third of the cost of my least expensive watch I had previously, I'd say this one is an absolute winner! I couldn't be happier with this watch.

The online pictures don't do this watch enough justice. The gears are visible and gorgeous. The band is well made. My husband was thrilled with the gift.
