Review of Fossil Men's Watch with Black Dial and Brown Leather Strap - FS4813

A battery-powered quartz watch is controlled by fluctuations in a crystal of the mineral quartz. These oscillations change very little over time, which is why quartz is often used because it retains its accuracy. A luminous layer provides a long-term lightning effect in the dark. Requires only a short- term exposure to light to allow for this effect. Typically, these are the pointers and sometimes the hour markers that are luminous in the dark. In addition to style innovations, Fossil has also helped introduce innovative technologies into watches, such as the Wrist PDA that ran the Palm operating system.

ABOUT FOSSIL

Fossil is founded in 1984 when timepieces were created more for function than fashion, Fossil began to transform this notion with its unique combination of vintage 1950s Americana design and affordably accessible cool style. Adding to their collectability were the one-of-a-kind, trademark tins that came with the watches that mixed a creative spirit with a sense of humor. Today, Fossil produces over 300 different styles of watches in a continuously changing lineup. While the majority of designs are created by in-house designers, Fossil has reached out to such contemporary artisans as product designer Philip Starck and famed architect Frank Gehry to create uniquely modern timepieces. Fossil also offers complementary lines of small leather goods, belts, handbags, sunglasses, jewelry, and apparel.
