What's going on guys, welcome back to Arccway, a new direction of the modern man. So today's
video, I ain't going to be shading you guys the truth about fossil watches. This is my
truth. This is my Ashley me three to four years of owning a fossil watch and own many
fossil watches, but predominantly this watch. The grant fossil watch.
One thing I'll say about this watch is that. If this is your first time seeing this video,
go back to my original video, talking about the review of bit, or go to my other videos
regarding fossil watches. Because I reviewed many fossil watches before, and this video
is not about bashing fossil as a company. This view is about the truth of a fossil watch
from my experience. So, so when it comes down to this video, I want to express my truth
about the fossil watches. Not saying Fossil's a bad brand. I'm not saying that all. I'm
talking about what happens within the fossil watches throughout time. So like when you,
things in life, it obviously deteriorates the break down, things go wrong.
So I'm going to share some insights, some my experience of owning the grand chronological
watch and just, um, just try to just show you guys what I've been through with this
watch and what, what you guys can prepare for. So. When I first bought this watch, it's
a boat four, five years ago, graduated college. I gifted myself with a watch, something I
wanted to piece that would actually emphasize a lot about character. I wanted something
to emphasize a lot of about maturity, and this was one watch that she really gravitated
to by fossil. So. If you're interested in this type of watch or view, you actually can
check all my old video on that. Or actually I can just make a new one on this.
Um, so you guys get the heads up about it, but I have tons of other fossil watch views
that are way up to date within this past three years. Um, actually within this past year
or so, you guys have definitely shared all those videos and very fast watches would be
up there. But most importantly, we're going to get into
this Ross West right now. So, in the truth of what fossil watch, let's start. So one
thing I'll talk about with his fossil watch is, um, especially, okay, I'll start with
the band. So for the band, I replaced it. I replaced this band, uh, probably about three
times so far. So first time I can recall, um, the band straps
broke. So. These band shops right here, they kind of broke off and um, one was missing
and it was a lot more harder to tighten the watch on your wrist cause it's better to have
the two straps for more security. But with the lack of one band, it was always flapping
off. So I had it often hanging off like that. It
was always a bit of a band with hanging out and I kind of like would draw against the
clothes, whatever, and against, frankly, it gets annoying. Right. So. And I replaced the
bend a few times. Fossil Genuis too, definitely, um, replaced the band from for free and in
a store. Um, there's been times where either purchased
new band, this was actually the most recent that I purchase was for like 35 bucks. Um,
and it changed it in store where you can just change it for yourself is clickable. But on
the end here, and it is literally pops off. So that experience alone, um, was all right.
Initially, I remember when the original bands of it, it really broke down over time, especially
on the grit of the face of the band was very wearing down, but yet, keep in mind, I'll
tell you the experience, I'll tell you where I boarded, but on the back of it, I, it was
quite, it was all rubbers. So. It kind of stayed, but the maturity of the fabric and
the maturity of the leather, it kind of broke down.
But Ivy character in a good sense. Um, but he was actually a lighter tone than this.
Uh, so one thing I'll say about the bezel, this around the, the cafe, so that high is
that it's scratched, scratched up a lot. I dropped this watch and many times, um, five
years ago, you know, uh, 21. So. Uh, I was going through a lot in a sense of maturity
and growth that. Even with our fossil watch, I wasn't too keen
on keeping, you know, clean and like prestige, but I often, few times it was always drunk,
like David up against the wall or whatever the case is. Um, so it does have a lot of
markings on the outer side. I mean, that's something you can fix or if anyone does know
how to fix it definitely dropped common. But yeah, that can be polished off. That is
not, they consider watches do get to that degree. Um, so I'll see from there. Uh, both
appointed thing is, is battery life. And I experienced some fogging in the face as well.
Um, I used to wear watches a lot. Going into the showers. Sometimes I was quite confident
about doing it. Sometimes it wasn't. Um, I didn't want the
F I wasn't sharing the face would actually fog up within this watch, uh, a time. And
luckily it didn't, from my experience of four or five years with this watch, it didn't fog
up. So that is actually very nice to know. Um, I'll say from there, one thing I'll say
off the bat is the battery life. So the battery life is started being concerned
on this video. Talking about how long his battery actually last you. And the fact is,
be me trying to, growing as if act is, as I kind of grow, I want something that I don't
have to worry about the watch battery. And it's kind of interesting to know that it kind
of gets annoying when you have to replace it cause it kind of takes up time of your
day. It just takes up. So I think we do use the
whole want that on your plate. So when it comes down to the battery life. So the battery
died about twice. Now, um, I have taken this in, centered into the fossil watch location
headquarters. How nervous in Toronto or Montreal, but I sent it off before. Um, and then they
replaced the battery. No. Okay. Whoa. Let me scratch that. Uh, another
experience I had with a fossil watch was a cracked face. So I dropped this wash before.
Uh, as I was saying, very young, you know, when you're young, things happened. So I broke
them face by accident, um, sent it off to fossil headquarters. The, uh, they, I forgot,
they charged me a certain, I think it was a free, I don't remember if it was fear nut
though. It wasn't. Definitely not. It wasn't free.
Um, was it free? I don't remember it. I just tell her that the white house website right
now, and just find out if the face was free, but they replaced it for me. Took about 30
days as something that was annoying about replacing the battery. Uh, so that was something
annoying about replacing the face of this. Uh, so. All in all, at least they were generous
to do that enough. And I appreciate that. And, um, they actually sending me a complete
new watch. Um, so I've been through a lot in this watch. I'm, as I started reflecting
on there for so much, cause this wasn't even an original watch at one point. This actually
a replacement because my old one was so banged up and the screen of the face broke and I
got replaced and it was quite nice. And then to do that, um. But most importantly,
the battery life as well. So the battery life will last you. I will say from my experience,
the battery life lasts me about three and a half years. No, actually the battery left
since I got the new face of his watch, since I got the newer edition of his watch, meaning
that replace it, the battery life battery life lasts me about.
Three strong years. Um, as one more time, it's completely dead. I did replace it at
all. So this is one of the things I'm talking to you guys about. So not only did I last
you both three years is quite good length, amount of time, but as you get older, you
wanted something a little more, um, mature in a sense.
You don't have to worry about it and battery life or you want something more developed
in automatic if you're into those or getting into automatics. So. That's the one he shared.

a person precautions as well where you can get extra brand bands down the road and any
more accessories. And also. One thing I really lacked when I
got my foster watch and not taking consideration was the fact that a case would lead it. So
if you are trying to get into foster watches, are you looking to get into watches? Get yourself
a collection case? Cause that way you can keep all your watches, Glade clean, you can
keep them fresh. And you don't have to go for new threats.
