Fine. Just fine.

By Dave Kowalski, Chicago ยท

Clean white dial, date, 40 by 11 mm, open caseback, leather strap. The FC-303 is a Sellita underneath with FC's name on it, 38 hours of reserve. Nothing wrong with any of it.

But $995 to $1,150 is a lot of money for a watch this forgettable. The Hamilton Jazzmaster Thinline is thinner, has 80 hours, and costs less. The Tissot Le Locle costs a lot less. 50 m water resistance on a leather strap means this is a desk-and-dinner watch only.

If you love the FC dial specifically, go ahead. I just don't see what you're getting for the extra.
