RELIC by Fossil Mens Jake Silver Stainless Steel and Black Silicone Band Watch Model ZR11861

Been watching this watch since November and regretted not getting it during the Black Friday sale. Price dropped this weekend to under $50, nice price for a Fossil watch. Great size, not too heavy or light, perfect size. The glass has a cool bevel on it and while there’s a slight tint, it’s very readable. Not sure about water resistance. It’s a Fossil so think it will be fine. The band is black silicone and is designed to look classy. Wearable for both casual and business. Read more

I bought this for my fiance. He needs a watch with clear contrast because he is legally blind. He loves it and when it came we noticed it had a built in magnifying strip on the face. It is a very good everyday watch.He loves this watch! I would recommend it. Read more

heavy, masculine watch. I love the blue watch face and how well it was packaged. It came in a can box. It's regular-sized, and the bands look sturdy and great. I got it as a secret Santa gift, and my pixie liked it. I am not sure about any special features, but it had good readability and wearability. Read more

This watch is very eye catching! It's MUCH nicer looking in person than in online pictures. In fact I get more compliments on this watch than any other in my collection, and I have a pretty decent size collection, most of which go totally unnoticed on my wrist even though most of them are much nicer and much more expensive. It also happens to keep good time, mine is only off by a few seconds per month, and is really easy to read provided your not in a dark room, there is some lume but it is not very bright and does not last long. If I were rating this watch on looks and function alone I would have given it 5 stars considering its price. The reason why I rate it at 3 stars is simply because of the plastic band. It is very stiff and uncomfortable, even after owning it for a year. I have a cheap $20 Casio digital watch with a plastic band that is much more flexible and comfortable than the one on this Relic. Normally I would just buy a replacement band of higher quality but there is no aftermarket band that would be fitted to the watch in the same as the original band. The lugs are a standard 22 mm so the band could be replaced with a third party alternative but that would radically change the appearance of this watch and I'm not sure it would be in a good way, even with a really nice band. As a result this watch spends a lot of time in a watch case in my home office occasionally getting admired by relatives and visitors who happen to see it and very little time on my wrist. Probably should have tried it on at a local department store before buying it. I've noticed other reviews that mention the stiff band and it doesn't seem to bother them as much, I do have a moderately large wrist at 7.75 inches so that may have something to do with it. My advice would be to try this watch on before buying it, move your wrist around a good bit to make sure you can live with the stiff feel, and keep in mind that it does not loosen up over time. If it feels okay to you then buy it because it is other wise a decent and attractive watch for the price. Read more
