Fossil Dean Automatic Watch Review

Patrick Kansa By Patrick Kansa

Today, we’re going to take a look at a brand that likely everyone reading these pages is familiar with – Fossil. I’d hazard a guess that most of us have at one time or another had a Fossil watch in our collections, and for good reason – they’ve got a variety of different styles to accommodate just about any taste, and they come in at affordable price points. As of late, they’ve been expanding their offerings to encompass automatic movements, and we’ll be reviewing one of those models today.

That style is known as the “wristlet” – read on to learn more about this recently-launched Kickstarter project.
