I also have 2 fossil watches that I like a lot. However, the watch batteries in those Fossils barely last 6 months. PIA to put the housing back on.
The Casio has a 10 year battery life. Been using it everyday for past 2 years with no issue.

Going to France in an hour or so, this will be my watch for the upcoming days.
I had a Fossil watch that I really enjoyed. It was ridiculously thick due to being a dual movement watch. The hour/minute hands ran on a quartz movement, and the second hand on a separate automatic movement. The case was a rose gold with a brownish gray dial and rose gold hands/markers. I got more compliments on that watch than any I have ever worn. Unfortunately, the battery was housed beneath a cover inside the case with the smallest screw I have ever seen. I only found one jeweler who could change the battery. I finally realized it wasn't worth my time (pun?) and got rid of the watch. But I still think of it occasionally.
On the road…
Very relatable. I stopped wearing my Fossil because of this. I only use automatics now.

A 16s Waltham "Traveler" in a 14k rolled gold hunter case. From 1903.
Bulova Lunar Pilot, but with Maratac lunar-gray silicone band. Maratac is the County Comm brand, CC makes excellent stuff, usually American-made gummint order overruns.
Why this band is good: it has a high number of adjustability slots. With a large/heavy watch, the perfect fit is sometimes right in-between sizes. This one, can get perfect fit.
