12 , not much better <| sep |> Fossil is generally categorized as a Fashion Watch . Meaning it has a cheap movement and the quality isn ' t the best . These watches are more commonly just worn for aesthetic purposes . Watch enthusiasts would prefer something of higher value as opposed to watches that just look nice and tell the time . Essentially it boils down to fossil watches being mass produced without any outstanding qualities or historyprestige associated with the brand . Even with that said , the beauty of a watch is in the eye of the beholder . So if that ' s what you like , don ' t worry about the stigma associated . Fossil is a good starting place for those looking to get into watches . Hope that makes sense , I can expand on what I said if necessary .
