subject: Fossil Watches - The Perfect Mix Of Style And Function [print this page] Fossil watches are stylish, functional, and fun. With lines for men and women, there are many options when picking a Fossil watch. Some of the most popular styles sport large dials, and the bands are made from various materials including hardened resin, ceramic, and stainless steel. Fossil watches are very fashionable without the price tag of many similar brands. This blend of fashion and afford-ability is what really makes Fossil watches stand out from the competition.
The men's lines are for the most part over-sized, with easy to read watch faces and heavy, durable bands. The most popular designs sport black ceramic bands or stainless steel mesh and feature multiple dials and/or chronographs. But for the gadget lover or anyone looking for something different, they have several styles that are more than "just watches". They also manufacture specialty watches, such as the Twist series, which features quartz reliability, automatic movement, and an open display which showcases the inner workings of the watch. Then there are the novelty lines, such as the Atari Asteroids Fossil watch. While it doesn't allow game play, the Asteroids display is animated in old-school Atari fashion. And for the fashion conscious man there are several lines sporting leather or coloured silicone bands.
The women's lines really showcase the versatility of Fossil watches. Using coloured ceramic finishes, several Fossil watch women's lines are easily colour coordinated with a woman's varied wardrobe. And with reasonable prices it's easy to find a watch that matches anything. For a more classical style, there are several Fossil watches available in jewellery styled stainless steel, in both regular and gold tone finishes. One of their most popular women's lines is the charm bracelet watches, in several designs all featuring a miniature watch face and several distinctive charms with room to add your own.
Then there is the truly amazing array of specialty watches. Most of these sell out not long after they arrive, such as the popular PDA watch which debuted last year and sold out within days of first shipping. This watch has all the features of a palm PDA right on your wrist. Fossil watches pioneered the idea, and even has links to third-party software for the watch from their website, exclusive to Fossil watches. Or if you prefer to keep you organizer/phone in your pocket, there's the Sony Ericsson compatible Bluetooth caller ID watch. This marvel of technology will alert you to calls by vibrating on your wrist, and even allows you to see the caller ID and answer or ignore the call all from your wrist watch. Fossil watches also partnered with Microsoft to produce the MSN Direct watch, which allows access to MSN direct, which is a new service which allows you to download custom features to the watch, view entertainment and news, and even receive instant messages. There is a subscription fee for extended services, but much of the content is accessible for free. The watch allows you to change between multiple digital displays and updates the time automatically to always keep you on time.
With so many features to choose from the hardest part of finding a Fossil watch you'll love is choosing just one. And with such reasonable prices, you really don't have to pick just one.
