The nicest watch in my collection. It's beauty, for me, lies in the gold outline of the subdials. The shine is alluring.

Well I'm just about fed up with my watch. I keeps losing/getting ahead of time despite changing the battery.
I really am a noob when it comes to good quality watches. I'm looking for a replacement analog watch, maybe mechanical?
Do yall know a good mechanical watch for under $200? Are the fossil ones any good?

Find something you like from Seiko. You will be a happy man.

Thanks. Any particular model?

Something in your price range that hits you. You really can't go wrong with any model of Seiko.

Thanks guys I'll check it out.
How do the fossil mechanicals fare?


I didn't even know Fossil had autos... I've had a fee of their quartz, still have one I think. They are alright, mostly fashion of course, and you are mostly paying for the design but you could do worse...

Seiko is a safe bet as well as Citizen.

  If I'm not mistaken, the movements in Fossil autos are made by Seagull. They're actually decent quality for a Chinese made movement.

I've read some are Seiko, some are Citizen.  Who knows.

One of my first watches was a limited edition Superman Fossil watch. The "S" inside was a pendulum, making the watch automatic. Regarding telling time, it was absolutely terrible. I just remember having to set the watch again and again like every week. Fossils are good for fashion (I suppose), and I do not know if quality (regarding somewhat accurate time) has gotten better, but haven't purchased a Fossil since.

My daily wear is a Fossil ME3021.

Since it sounds like you're looking for accurate time keeping, look elsewhere. It's my daily wear because of sentimental value, not because it keeps accurate time. I'm adjusting it every few days. Seiko makes some nice autos in the $200 price range, as does Citizen and Orient. You can also find some nice used vintage watches in the price range.

The ARSA looks stunning. Very chic.
