## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the dial of this watch really that dull in real life? Because in other pictures I saw it was much brighter (like the one on the Fossil website).**
A: "Dull" seems like such a negative word.  I would prefer to describe the face as "muted" or "satin-finish".  One of the reasons I got this watch was because the face wasn't overly busy and overly flashy (i.e., shiny). FYI, the picture used here on Amazon is far closer to the actual product than the picture Fossil uses on their website.  Apparently someone at Fossil decided to turn the saturation level up a bit for their picture.  BTW, I am currently wearing this watch, so I can easily look down for comparison.

**Q: El estuche es el metálico o es otro?**
A: La caja está hecha de acero inoxidable.

**Q: Is this watch original? Price difference is significant with fossil site.**
A: Yes, the prices on Amazon are different to the ones in Fossil website.

**Q: How long does a fully charged watch last? Does turning the winder 40 times fully charge it?**
A: I wear my watch occasionally and don’t wind it at all. It starts and will keep working all day as long as I wear it.,
