Fossil Mens Watch (Forester)FS 5590
This is an eye catching mixture of classical looks and minimalist leanings. My £1,600 watch has gone in for re calibration twice since Xmas and I needed a back up watch at £53.40 thank you very much. A black face has ben a design must since a jeweller asked me if I would not prefer a white faced watch. That is like not wanting to join a club that would accept yo as a member. And military design is so often a black faced dial this watch seems to be borrowing from that design cue, which ergonomically must be good? My Ball watch has Tritrium batons that are illuminated for a lifetime. as does a Regimental watch I bought a s a spare before this one. So the lack of nighttime access to the time is a price we pay...or didn't as t happens. Where the watch and the strap join, extra wide by the way which must be good physics, there is on each end of the strap where t oins the case a clever littlebolt or hinge which hould be patented and then given to the world subject to links t Fossil for being the patentee. If it is that good, I haven't explored that just yet.
The game of benefits and costs applies here if you have other straps at home which are standard, and you must choose a better but scarcer replacement in time? The date window is very discreet. Compare that with the famous Rolex oyster perpetual dater which is has a thick magnifier window and you can see the designer of this watch wanted to be gentle not agressive in meeting your needs. Another example of that is the second hand. I have had watches where the second hand detracts from telling the time because it is too easy to see. This is not too easy to see, and again shelters on the side of discretion, knowing there are buyers out there who appreciate that when they are looking for the second hand...(not that often) they do not want it complicating the easy read principle of reducing distractions. And remember, after the near obligatory three moving hands, with an ergonomic weighting attached to each, any other feature is officially a complication. Watches are great because whilst art or srtifice is how we get to read the time, science is really the measure of time and timepieces that win on so many levels like this one. For the price. I cannot believe or entertain how many watches are not legible, or have dials where too much is going on. You can probably thus guess which watches get my vote, and , to be fair to this one , the points I highlight are all arguable. The points covered by this watch are all a compromise. With no nighttime illumnation...Nite watches are just 10 miles away, you are going to get nearer 4 stars than 5. The demerit of one star is over a feature that half the time does not work in other makes, and fades with the years. Apple watches which is fair enough but the first thing Apple did when battery power had improved was to have the dial lit permanently. That is class...but at a price, and with so many features...complications remember...sometimes it is best to apply Occams Razor at the very least shall we say for a dress or occasional used watch? One final comment. I am 64 today, and I resolved months ago to only buy day date watches. I have bought a couple of "Dementia" clocks with day and date added to the time and AM/PM and been impressed on the ergonomics of a generous spirit in a watch (or clockmaker). OK I bought this watch without a day/date and only a date, and it wont be a perpetual mechanism, but it is whta it is and that is in my book streets and skyscrapers ahead of many offerings at the price. I would have bought this from another retailer at a higher price, but would recommend any wannabe owner of the Forester Watch buys it for $53.40 as I did . I will just be crossing my fingers the mechanism which I can't see will do the design justice. Do I have a smart watch? Yes. Do I wear it a lot. No, but I do repesent a hybrid customer falling for a pretty face when I have a workhorse or two at home which do what they say they do on the tin. Watch makers know we have a choice. Now and then it is a good thing to "give it a rest". This watch is sufficiently distinguished in form and function it carries a message it was Est. 1984. No it wasn't, it has design echoes from the first timepieces and satisfies the eya and the ear and the wrist at a price I may even get back for thinking about what went in, for me to get so much out, in a sea of possibilities we all must traverse to get where we are going in a timely manner. This review is contemporary with 2020. Obviously things are changing but this watch is a bastion of common sense and price and I like it for what it says about the choices we make.
Krikey, what I could have bought for, say, £250? But that is not the point.
