Customer Reviews Fossil CH2600 Decker Chronograph Stainless Steel Watch

Great looking watch. The wrist is a little large do I had to take off multiple connectors to fit it on my wrist. Classy looking and well worth it's price.

I got this watch for my husband, and we both really like it! It looks much more expensive than it actually was, and the face is a really good size for a mans watch: not too big or small. We ordered it a month or so ago, so mechanically, no complaints yet. Based on the fact that I myself have several fossil watches in good working order, of various ages, I expect that this watch will be just as reliable and well made! Thanks fossil and thank you Zappos! Great job as usual!

The watch is perfect! Exactly what I wanted and the one day free shipping was amazing! Perfect all around!

I am so happy with my purchase. It was a gift for my husband and he loved it. This watch works perfectly and fits perfectly.

This is an excellent watch. Because I have smaller wrists, I had to take out two links on the band. The watch looks really nice, looks like a watch that would cost much more than the price.

Fossil CH2600 Decker Chronograph Black Dial Watch This is my third Fossil watch, and I am not disappointed. I learned that Fossil's Japanese movements are actually made by either Seiko or Miyota, and that Fossil is licensed to manufacture watches for other luxury brands. There is a 11-year warranty on the movement, which surpasses many other common brands such as Casio and Invicta which mainly have 1-year warranties. Fossil stores will also gladly re-size your Fossil band for free, and change batteries for about ten dollars which includes labor and the actual battery. The CH2600 has a 10 ATM water resistance, which is about a depth of 100m. Some of the Fossil watches are only 5 ATM, so just be aware of the rating. The band is typical Fossil fare, with a single button depress that I absolutely love! It feels very sturdy and luxurious. Casio and Invicta metal linked bands always feel flimsy and cheap, like they belong on an inexpensive Timex at the department store. Watch snobs have regarded Fossil as being "cheap mall watches" but honestly, unless I am prepared to spend the money for a Citizen EcoDrive or Seiko, the Fossil line does almost the same job with about the same quality. The CH2600's second hand does not match the tick marks, but it is not a deal breaker. Doing research, many other premium movements may not have the seconds hand match up with the tick marks either. I noticed that Fossil watches tend to run about 3-4 seconds faster per month, and when they start to run slower, the battery probably needs to be changed. The chronograph seconds and minutes hands don't rest at the 12'o clock position. The tachymeter bezel is mainly for show, because the chronograph seconds hand does not run the circumference of the bezel so it can't be used to measure speed of an object. The CH2600 watch is polished stainless steel, while the flat surfaces of the band are brushed stainless. The polished surfaces can be scratched or scuffed more easily than the brushed surfaces. The crown is oversized but recessed, and does not catch on my pocket sleeves or clothing like it does with my CH2809. The CH2600 is noticeably thicker than my other Fossil watches, but it isn't significantly heavier. The band is slightly wider as well, but none of these bother me. The extra heft is actually a bit more assuring. The Fossil font is very attractive on the dial, and the text is all white in color with a black dial color. These combination offers great contrast and is noticeably refined, I'd recommend it with professional business attire as well as casual business attire. Overall: 4/5 stars. I've yet to be let down by Fossil and I have yet to find another brand that offers the same quality at this price point. There's a 11-year warranty on the movement, 10 ATM water resistance, and the wrist band is extremely well made. I would give it 5 stars if the chronograph minutes and seconds hands reset to the 12 o'clock position, and if the big seconds hand could be used in the chronograph made rendering the tachymeter bezel fully functional. Would I buy another Fossil watch in the future? Definitely.
