They are made by Fossil. Take that for what it's worth.

Re: Probably not worth the money...
I've owned a number of them. Among the best chinese made watches I've found. I don't know much about the movements, but the case and bracelets are very nicely made. I've bought all of mine at Fossil Outlet stores at about 1/2 price ($100-$150), making them even better.
I have no doubt that a seiko, citizen, or victorianox in the same price range has a better movement, although there are only a handful of mechanical from those brands in this price range. Most models in those brands are boring to me.
The cases are nicely finished, with extra details, very solid. Exhibition backs and finished movements are normal on the mechanical models. Bracelets are very smooth, on par with all but the very best.
I've owned 4 mechanical ones on stainless steel and a quartz on leather. I sold a few but this one is a favorite:

Re: Probably not worth the money...
If you like the looks of a particular watch, then buy it. I know a lot of folks on this forum will probably dismiss it, but then again it's your wrist.
I picked up a similar model to this on ebay for super cheap. But I got it in very beat up condition. I sent into Metro Service Center (Fossil's repair facility for all their brands), they replaced the damaged crown, crystal and put on the original band (and sent me back the other band that was on the watch) all for about $45. I can't attest to the quality of the movement, but I can attest to the quality of their service.I've owned a number of them. Among the best chinese made watches I've found.

Re: Probably not worth the money...
the internals of Emporio Armani:
Looks like a less than $1 quartz movement.

Re: Probably not worth the money...
Looks exactly like the movement from one of those Puritan watches from Walmart. Yes, I've taken one apart before.
