Hi guys,

Just thought I'd keep you updated on my watch situation. I went into the Fossil store Tuesday, and they were suprisingly nice. Although they agreed the band was not under warranty, they said this once they would order in the new part to fix the band for free (otherwise it would have been $30). To replace the entire band would be $75. The only bummer is its going to be at least 4 weeks for the part to come in!!!

One thing is that they seemed to imply that a plastic watch like this wasn't tough enough to be worn as an everyday watch like I have been doing. Obviously it makes sense plastic isn't going to be as durable as stainless steel, but still I expected it would last more than one year.

Currently I'm watchless, and feeling a bit naked. I don't know whether to

a) hold out and wait for the part, and keep wearing my yellow watch as an everyday watch
b) cave and get a more sensible stainless steel one to wear for everyday
c) get another fun coloured one that I love, and alternate between the two, meaning I always have a backup watch to wear.

What do you think??
