Cuff watches are a difficult thing to pull off well. On one hand, they’re super durable and can be more comfortable than a normal watch because the leather insulates your wrist from the watch back. On the other, if they’re not executed perfectly you end up looking like you never grew out of your goth phase. Fortunately, this isn’t an issue with the new Fossil Chronograph Black Dial Cuff Watch because it’s the perfect combination of cold black steel and rugged brown leather. There’s a 47mm oversized case in black, paired to a wide brown leather strap. It’s got 5ATM water resistance and an unheard of 11 year limited warranty. It’s rugged, yet stylish. It’s sophisticated, but manly. It’s Daniel Craig as James Bond. It’s Bear Grylls in a suit. Basically, it’s everything you want in a watch, except the mortgage payment price tag.
