Did you know that Fossil....

[Alwaysabridesmaidf]

designs, manufactures and distributes Michael Kors watches? A whole bunch of other deisgners too. Sorry if it's old news. I was dead set on getting this MK watch

but I happened to walk by Fossil on Sat and their watched caught my eye. I was telling the girl about the MK watch and she was like "oh we manufacture those, that's why the look alike". And they do!! I verified on the interwebs ;D
I got this one and I love it! It was less than half the price too!

I actually like the look of the Fossil one better!

I agree!

I had actually heard that on here & when I went in to Macy’s to compare, the associate said the same thing. In her words ‘You’re just paying for the name. The quality is the same.’ So I got the Fossil (1/2 the price of MK). Mine is very similar to yours. Also rose gold, but I have 2 rows of crystals. I love it & get so many compliments!

I also got a Fossil 2 or 3 Christmas' ago instead of the MK!

Yes. I heard that last year and ended up getting a Fossil Rose Gold instead of an MK that cost almost 3x as much.

I will say that the MK was heavier and more "substantial" than the Fossil ones, but I was looking for that so I was good.

I did end up getting a MK one during the Nordstrom Anniversary sale, but it was the same price as the similar Fossil one.

I also noticed that the MK version was significantly heavier. That was a turn-off for me. Especially because up until I bought this watch a few months ago, I hadn’t worn once since grammar school. Having something that heavy on my wrist would just annoy me.

I was just telling a friend of mine this. She wants to go to the MK outlet while we are on vacation and I told her to try fossil. I was look at the fossil outlet near me at the rose gold one.

Yep! I applied for a job with them last year. These are their other brands from the website...

MICHELE, Zodiac, Relic, Emporio Armani, DKNY, Armani Exchange, Michael Kors, Diesel, Burberry, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Adidas, Skagen Denmark, and Karl Lagerfeld.

WOW. That’s a lot. I think I’m most surprised by Skagen. I was actually going to get one of those for DH as a wedding gift until I read 23824Bil reviews online stating that the glass was so fragile & cracked easily.

Did not know. Thanks for sharing!

And Burberry?!

[joanis018]

One of my friends works for them and I was also shocked to find out how many brands are under their umbrella.

[ssmjlm]

When we had a fossil outlet I got an MK watch there. They had a ton of different brands in store.

[msamyfarrahfowler]

That's the reason I won't ever pay $$$ for a MK watch. It's like buying a Lexus car that has a Toyota platform. Might as well just buy a Toyota.

They have an outlest near me that carries all those items except the Skagen. I snagged my Skagen during a trip to Sam's Club for trash bags. I don't think I actually save money there since I tend to treat myself whenever I stop in.
