My thoughts exactly. The credit goes towards the warranty dept at Fossil Group however, their repair facility is a Joke.

Just wanted to stop by to say that I received my watch back from the Texas repair facility yesterday.
Looking at the watch, you can tell they opened the back to inspect or fix the movement. But inside appears to be clean and "crumbless". The crown is definitely way better than it was before. Goes into all positions easier and more natural.
I'm also happy to say that it's been running great for 24 goes now as it has been sitting. Only about +4.5-5 spd.
I'll keep monitoring it but so far so good.
While for a while I was hoping it would come back unacceptable and I could return it for a profit, seeing it on my wrist again I really love this watch and happy it's running as it should have been in the first place.

Meanwhile I have no idea where my watch is, if it's still being shipped to Texas, or if they have it in Texas already... I kind of just gave up on the watch a month ago and forgot about it

Yeah I'll probably email the guy again next week and see what's up. Thinking of just asking for a credit of the watches value again and maybe buy 2 quartz models if I can.

Finally got around to reading this whole thread.
Wow, glad I never jumped on one of those deals.
And doesn't feel right "liking" all the issues you all have reported.

For the record, I'm keeping an eye out for the Olympos to get into stacked discount territory, but now a little nervous to pull the trigger if it does.

Oh well, at least I still have my vintage SST 36000

For the record, most likely most of us who made this purchase, like myself, have had no issues and are very happy with the watch. It does disappoint and leave a negative impression when a few have to go through these travails.

To add more positivity to this thread, my watch is still running perfectly, and I just got it my strapsco straps. Thanks to flypanam's post on page 3, I ordered the quick release leather rally that he has and this rubber rally with curved ends. The colors really do match perfectly.
The rubber rally really gives a sportier vibe[IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201903 ... 56f2da.jpg[/IMG][IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201903 ... f7959f.jpg[/IMG][IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201903 ... 40fc44.jpg[/IMG]

I wore my Super Sea Wolf ZO9204 today. I've been wearing it on an aftermarket straight end bracelet that I got from Amazon. I originally bought the bracelet to wear with my red Sea Dragon pictured above but I've been wearing it on this instead. I'd definitely recommend it. Link below.

$29 bracelet at Amazon

Just in case anybody ever has the same question I had about whether bracelets for the Sea Wolf are interchangeable. There is a weird little quirk about these cases. You'll be able to see it below. The ones that come with bracelets are different than the ones that come without. So you can't take a bracelet off one of the bracelet models and fit it to a non-bracelet model. Link to the WUS thread below.

Well, for those of you who are wondering what ever happened with my Zodiac Jetomatic....

Quick summary: I got the watch from watchstation brand new in November. Owned it 4 days. On day 4 it was sitting on my desk not being used and just stopped working. Nothing would fix it. Sent it in for repair. Received it 2 months later with the repair manager saying it was working the entire time. I get it back, still not working. I immediately send it back to them for repair. I just received it yesterday from the repair center. And...

It's actually working (for now at least). Apparently they had to entirely replace the movement. So 5 months later, this is my 5th day wearing this watch LOL.
