Everyone looks at your watch; it represents who you are, your values, and your personal style”. This quote by Kobe Bryant, the legendary American basketball player perfectly explains the importance of a watch in an individual’s daily life in today’s modern world. Rather than just seeing it as a machine that tells us time, a watch today is a reflection of the owner’s lifestyle, personality, and status. As a result, wristwatches are witnessing an increased demand – especially the smartwatch and luxury watch segments. Being home to the largest population of youngsters in the world today, the scenario is no different in India either. Rising disposable income among today’s youth, competitive pricing, increased awareness about their health benefits, and the millennials seeing watches as a symbol of their status in society are some of the reasons fuelling the market growth in India.

Furthermore, the ongoing digital revolution, e-Commerce phenomenon, and globalization have enabled the Indian population to have access to almost every luxury watch brand from across the world. However, among the myriad of watch brands currently operating in the Indian market, Fossil has emerged as the most soughtafter premium watch brand in India due to its trendy designs, exquisite features & functions.
