Zodiac brand....

Anyone have any experience with the Zodiac brand? I got a Sea Dragon I may pull the trigger on.

Thanks in advance!

IMHO they are now just a fashion brand owned by Fossil. They are no longer the original Zodiac watch manufacturer.

Buy what you like but I would rather save my money and put it towards something with some tradition and innovation.

Vintage is great. Modern is not.

Kind of morbid as well given it's association, frankly the brand should be history IMHO

Completely agree it's a 100% a fashion watch, if you like the look of it go ahead and pull the trigger on it I'm sure you won't be disappointed and enjoy it. With respect to the original zodiac I had one back in the early 90s and to be honest it was a complete piece of junk, within 2 months I had to return it they replace the watch within a year after that the watch movement stopped working the repair was so expensive that the watchmaker at the time suggested I just buy a new watch since the warranty had just expired.
