I have also read the less positive reviews before buying this clock and'm quite encountered experiences that I have made with SCHNO Fossil watches. For example: the numbers on the number sheet would ablösen..ist Me 2 other Fossil actually happened ... annoying annoying ... Fortunately this clock here no figures on the sheet but only the Stunden..hoffentlich considers it this time ..;) .. honest I also hesitated with the purchase but the fossil design has ultimately wiedermal convinced me ... so far I am very pleased with the clock ... looks very chic is well made and even if the second hand does not one hundred per cent perfect to the point running a great clock. Oh, some complained about in their reviews that the bracelet would be too small, na wrists I would like to see ... lol ...
