Got my eye on one right now, good price, and distinctive looking, but love to see what you guys have, maybe some 'on wrist' shots.
I'm new and slow with my collecting, only have 5 watches right now. But need something fashion looking, also have my eye on getting a more classic silver, black face metal band watch, like a Casio ECB 500D.

This is the one I'm thinking of. The JR 1491. I use a countdown timer a lot, and this one has one. Plus some extra 'stuff' on the face (the digits) make the face look a bit more busy which I like.

 
All I have so far. The bronze and first black one are Nates I bought at the Fossil store at BOGO and then because it was fathers day got another 20% off. Even my wife could argue with that. Tried to buy her one bet she passed. Too bad , she could have gotten a couple of nice watches on the cheap. Opened them up and they have Miyota movements in them so I'm good with that.

I picked up these 3 limited edition Fossil watches recently. From 1994, they released 3 Spider-man watches, each limited to 10,000 pieces. Not the highest quality watches, in hindsight, but I love Spider-man.

I like the band on the one on the left, I assume that's OEM? Kind of webby, fits the watch. Fossil used to have some decent leather bands.

Yeah all the bands are original. They also came in cool comic book themed boxes.

I don't know does fossil still do these limited edition watches? Not Spiderman specifically just in general. I remember I bought a girlfriend in high school a Felix the Cat limited Fossil watch. I know they've done some Mickey Mouse ones.

Would be nice to know where to look online to keep an eye out for upcoming releases.

They used to do a bunch, but haven't seen them license anything in years. I'm sure back in the day licensing comic book characters was nowhere near the big deal it likely is now, with the big movies and all, and I think Fossil is trying to forge a stronger fashion brand identity for itself.
 
Does FMD count?
It is the one on the left.It is 45 mm lug end to lug end 44 mm wide with the crown and 12mm thick wr is 30 meters.It has lume on the hour minute and seconds hand. Indiglo shines through the numbers. It currently resides on a black leather NATO strap.The lugs are 20mm.The watch on the right is a TIMEX easy reader.
 
Hi, all. I'm new to the board, and I'm just getting the taste for today's timepieces - I haven't much thought about watches since the Casios my Dad would buy us as kids, going back to school, or something. Anyway, I've gathered a lot of Fossil lately.

A. Rutherford I got for myself.
B. Commuter I got for my son.
C. Q Founder (v.2) for me.
D. Q Grant hybrid for me.
