Do people really wear watches this big? WTF..... And I like how it's supposed to be a dive watch but the hands are skinny and don't stand out very well against the background....

Yes they do.

The hands are glow in the dark.

No, really?

They still suck. Not enough contrast between the hands and the background.

Also, the chronograph sub-dials (which aren't even needed on a dive watch) make it even harder to make out the hands.

Big watches are "in".

How do you, of all people, not know this?

I wouldn't pay a nickel for that watch.

I hardly ever wear a watch anymore. Between my phone, and clocks just about everywhere (except casino's and titty bars: or so I hear), there isn't much need.

That's a moderately serious dive watch, which are inherently large. though, most are smaller than that.

That makes 2 of us.

As for the OP dive watch, even though the hands are small, everything underwater looks bigger, especially magnified at 12" from your face. The magnification is 33%.

I used to wear a watch every day. I felt naked without one just as I do with out a belt. I finally just stopped after my last watch broke. FUCK YOU FOSSIL!

If you buy watches worth only $50, you can't blame them for breaking :redflip

$100.

The pins just come out. The last one had a pin come out while I was on a ladder. Of course it landed on the crystal. Nothing is covered under warrenty expect the gears.


Not all of use can waste $500 on a watch. I work with my stuff so they get worn.
