Key Features
Sought-after Y2K 'Fossil Blue' branding; unique integrated link design; 100M water resistance; classic black and silver colorway that remains stylish.

Flaws to Note
Significant surface scratching on the metal band; minor scratches on the glass crystal; battery is likely dead and requires replacement to verify movement works.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay or Mercari are best for watches. Depop is a secondary option to target the 'Vintage/Y2K' fashion audience.
Selling Tips
Replace the battery ($5-10) before listing to confirm it works; 'tested and working' adds $15-20 to the value. Clean the gunk out of the bracelet links with a soft toothbrush. Use keywords: Y2K, Vintage, Gorpcore, Sport, Stainless Steel.
