A big minus and for me the reason why I do not like investing the clock, the silicone bracelet. Specifically extremely attracting its inclination dust. Of course it is kind to the skin and also easy to clean. Only and that is precisely the point: cleaning is required in my experience, always after a few minutes. Absolutely impossible and annoying in the long run, that the bracelet because of the rubberized surface almost permanently dusty and unkempt look. Amazingly, that is so far rather rarely addressed. If the other owners about matter or is it, this is a deliberate vintage effect)? Plotting a T-shirt, it is perhaps still acceptable but once you get over pulling a sweater or sweat shirt, the bracelet looks instantly unappealing. After each wearing a washing of the bracelet under running water is necessary for now. Something is yet been required in any of the used by me watch. Short term: I did it with damp antistatic cloths, which are normally used for the TV or computer screen, trying times. This, however, the bracelet brightens and an antistatic effect unfortunately I could find neither.
Overall, the pretty spoiled the fun on the clock me. The next fossil-clock has me definitely go back a leather strap and I'll probably replace the silicone band of the model presented here also shortly with an original leather strap.
Conclusion So: The clock itself is very well done, the band (though certainly just is decisive for the choice of this model in many; in clean, well looked after, it is indeed a looker) but I would be completely impractical because too soilproof call. If the choice falls on this model again, come to me only a version with leather strap in question.
