Nice. I've got 3 Fossils myself, one going back to 2004. May get another in the future depending if I like the style, but ATM been looking at other brands too.
Im not a big fan, I find them to be a bit plain. Maybe with the right design, or if the watch has more color to it, maybe, but I haven't really seen a watch with a white dial that I really liked.
Nice. I also have a Fossil Blue, an older model that I hope I can get the movement working on it again.
I've always been interested in watches, but really only got invested in collecting them and learning more about them this year as well, so I'm also pretty new to this hobby. I also like collecting firearms and shooting, and when I first got into that hobby, there were very similar voices saying almost the same things.
Needless to say, I too learned a lot of similar lessons from entering that hobby, that I saw when I began diving into this one. "Don''t ever buy this brand, spend the extra $500 on this brand, why even wear a watch if you don't spend at least $xxx on it, etc., etc."
In the end, the hobby is what you make it. No one else is going to wear the watches you buy and more importantly, the only one spending money on your watches (gifts aside), is you. Influencers aren't buying your watches, so their opinions are generally irrelavent. Sure, they can be good for learning and seeing a fuller picture of an item, but the only opinion that should matter when it comes to these hobbies, is your own.
