Ultimately, I'm stuck at Fossil and have decided for the model Sport Gents CH2598 in black because this chronograph, silver casing / dial is unobtrusive and simple enough in the combined black leather, but stands out with integrated bracelet yet of the mass-produced goods , In addition, the clock carries thanks to the soft leather very pleasant even in the case. The disadvantage of this design is the fact that the clock is building quite high (at the highest point about 15 mm), which does not bother me personally, however. When wearing everyday the amount hardly disturbs and fits well to the diameter of the clock and the suit with tight cuffs must resort to halt what Flatter (nobler?) ...
The housing of the clock a quality image and well-made, but could be a bit clunky at very small wrists. I have not even the thickest forearms, but I am satisfied with the dimensions (also because among the figures, an image with dimensions is what the orientation but easier). Dial and hands are easy to read; although white on silver does not provide the best contrast are the pointer to run yet durable enough to read the time even under more adverse lighting conditions. The night glow effect, however, is quite weak. The date is made sufficiently large. Note in the margin: The tachymeter scale on the bezel while taking the beautiful Black Strap, but with the long second hand rather Zierwerk. Button to operate the stop function and crown are executed in accordance with the case quite large and stable effect.
The bracelet is as already mentioned made from soft leather, but acts robust, which is further supported by the conspicuous seams and wide buckle. By scheduled Leather beneath the housing there is a curvature in the bracelet, which can be problematic well in extremely narrow or extremely strong wrists under certain circumstances. The bracelet itself has a length of scarce 23cm, net buckle and distance from the first hole probably remain just under 20cm maximum wrist circumference (although this is not likely to particularly Dolle look longer bracelets in the design are AFAIK no verfübar at Fossil - corrected me when I mistaken). I lie with my not really strong wrists almost exactly in the middle of the hole, then passts with the curvature very well.
At work I've not really complain about something a little when it is likely to change (which I do not go out), there's an edit.
My Conclusion: For the price there a nice simple chronograph in sporting optics, which is noticeable thanks to the integrated bracelet and has no means frumpy. Fits for leisure outfit as well as for business dud (if indeed the suit cuffs fit over it). From my side, a buy rating - but I also hate gold jewelry and generally prefer the variant silver plus black leather.
Oh, Watch Iceland has delivered very quickly with me, packaging was fit and mandatory, well-padded fossil collector's tin, with brief instructions / warranty card was of course included.
