    I have several other regular non "smart" Fossil watches with no issues, really like the brand, but maybe I'll continue my research, ty :thumbsup:

    New company so not much of a track record. Site says Made in America. I don't have a problem buying watches manufactured in Asia with Asian or Swiss movements, but throwing some foreign made parts together and calling the finished product American made is bullshit.

    For the money, I think there are better choices. Nice looking though.

    Don't know your budget, but I'd look at Hamilton or Seiko as far as brands go for a proven quality watch at a reasonable price. Not a diver watch guy myself so have no idea if either of those brands have the style you're looking for. I just tend to go with more established brands.

    It's very easy to start a watch company now a days. Look at MVMT. Cheap Chinese watches with a ton of marketing.

    Picked this beauty up this week. Seiko Presage SPB0391 J1. Discontinued (I think) model in the Presage line. Sadly I don’t love how it looks on my wrist so it’s up for sale. PM me for more details/photos and price. Still have all the tags, boxes, and manual. Like brand new.

    You're not wrong! And I need to get a watch case that winds my 2 automatics, and has a USB outlet for the smart watch to charge. Ugh. Who's seen my money tree?!

    Agree with @Bagman.
    Never heard of Ares but ~$700 for a quartz watch seems excessive. I do like the design but for that money why not wait a little and snatch a used ORIS pro diver for about $1K? It holds its value and you'll get the proven and handsome toughness instead of taking Ares' words for it.
