Passionate about accessible and stylish watches, I chose the Fossil Decker for its sporty look and its silicone bracelet, ideal for a daily port without a headache. I have been using it for several months, alternating with other models, mainly during the day and sometimes in swimming.

First contact and installation

From the opening, the watch inspires confidence with a well finished case and a readable black dial. The silicone bracelet is flexible, but its imitation leather with seams is a questionable detail. The handling is immediate, but the chronograph and the tachometer require a short time of adaptation for those who are not familiar.

Real test vs promises

• Performance: precise quartz movement, correct readability of day and night, despite needles that are not contrasting. The chronograph operates without a hitch.
• Comfort: Ultra light, we quickly forget it on the wrist. Good water resistance (tested in the pool and in the shower).
• Disappointments: The bracelet is getting badly over time and easily marks. The absence of sapphire glass makes it sensitive to scratches.

Key points for the buyer

• For whom? Those who want an elegant, functional and affordable watch.
• Who's not? Those looking for a premium model with sapphire glass and ultra-durable materials.
• Value for money : Correct for design and reliability, but there are alternatives like Seiko or Citizen at similar prices with stronger materials.

Verdict

Strengths

• Successful design and Passe-Partout
• Comfort and lightness
• Good water resistance

Weak points

• Bracelet that wears out quickly
• Subject to micro-scratches
• Limited features for a chronograph

Recommended ? Yes, for those who want a stylish and affordable watch without too many requirements on sustainability. Not for those looking for a long -term investment.
