Fossil Wakefield Watch
Fossil Wakefield Watch is rated out of 5 by 28.
Rated 2 out of 5 by Watchout Wahly from Beautiful WatchI received this watch as a gift and my first impression was very positive. To start, it's absolutely gorgeous. The one I have has an all blue dial with lots of captivating detail. I especially appreciate the chapter ring, legibility, and the bold luminescence in the dark (especially the huge lume in the hands). The chronograph works well enough. The case is brushed steel, but the lateral sides are polished and catch the light just so. It's a wonder to look at, and that still holds true. However, this is where the review turns sour. The movement is garbage. I am especially partial to a smooth second-hand sweep but this watch is lacking in that department. It is very is very inaccurate and will be off by more than 10 minutes after a month or so. The crown must also be sensitive because occasionally I will check it and the time will be off by a couple hours. Beyond that, the watch is too big. 45mm is large for a watch, and some people look for that. Still, I have a larger wrist (7 3/4") and the lugs almost hang over and do prevent the strap from really hugging my wrist the way it should. The crown occasionally juts into the back of my hand when I bend my wrist with enough force and frequency to leave a mark at the end of the day. Simply put, it's uncomfortable to wear. If you're looking for some masculine jewelry that's going to catch someone's eye from across the bar (which, if we're being honest, is what a lot of watches are nowadays), then this is a great piece for you. However, if you have come to appreciate watches for the highly functional and meticulously engineered mechanical marvels that they are, then you may be as disappointed with this particular specimen as I am.

Rated 5 out of 5 by DingleDog from Beautiful timepiece, runs a little large thoughI got this watch when Fossil was running a special on their website. For the money, this is a beautiful watch. It can be worn with both formal wear and also with casual outfits such as jeans. What really strikes out to me is the color scheme - the cream dial contrasts wonderfully with the blue accents, and the tan strap adds that bit of warmth to the package. The only issue I can think of with this watch is that it is big. And heavy. You WILL know that you have something around your wrist. Other than this minor point, this is an excellent watch. I wear it regularly and this has very quickly become one of my favorites in my collection.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Paul from A great looking watchI've had this watch for about a week now. Beautiful colors, nice features. The fit is bulky, but You get used to it quickly. The only bad thing, I'd say it that the tan leather looks alot lighter color in the picture. It is a bit darker tan But still nice and earthy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by SamB from Stylish and comfortableI was looking for a watch that was casual enough for everyday use and stylish. I really liked the look based on what I saw on the website. I've had the watch for a few days, and am very pleased with it. The strap is comfortable, and I like that it's a little narrower that most straps I've had since I have a thin wrist.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Edwin from Nice WatchI purchased this watch about a rwo weeks ago because I wanted something for casual dress and this watch fulfills that need. I'm not saying you can't sport this watch for other occasions, but for me, it works for casual or semi-casual dress attire. Whoop, there it is.
