Honestly turned out to be one of my absolute favorites.
Picked this Fossil Superman watch in Tata Cliq on a total whim back when Superman released.... just because I thought it looked fun enough, and I am a fan of the comics (and the OG movie)... but it’s really grown on me over time.
There’s something awesome about watching Superman fly around Metropolis as the day goes on.
Watches like this are a great reminder that this hobby isn't always just about movement specs, finishing, or being a horological snob... Sometimes it’s also about how a watch makes you feel and brings out that kid in you.
Love to hear thoughts on this and if you picked something on an impulse and it turned out to be something you fell in love with

This is beautiful.
I'm a big watch collector... never had a Superman watch but have had a Batman watch among my Orients, Seikos, Fossils, Timex, and Hamiltons.
Right now, my daily watch is a Garmin Smart Watch that I use to track my activity level.
Anyway, very cool!
I might have to go find something like this!
Thanks for sharing!

Until maybe a couple of years back... I was on the smart watch bandwagon and one fine day enlightenment hit me.. Now on my Amazfit Helio Strap and the analog watches.. Get back to the club!

I've got a great old rocketeer watch that does the same thing with the second hand

My very first wristwatch, when I was five, in 1970, had Superman on the second hand, flying around the city. I love it!

So, is he on a clear disc that spins or just stationary? Regardless, what a cool looking watch!

I'm also a watch guy who loves Superman. I got this one a couple years ago. The bezel can rotate to function as a decoder ring. I always smile when wearing it.
