But at the end of the day, it's still a Fossil.

I don't mean to disparage the company, but in the watch world a Fossil (or Timex, Nixon, Citizen) will never be worth a glance. This is a market where low-end examples cost as much as a Honda.

Upvoted because it serves as a very helpful illustration of how awfully disconnected subcultures can be.
