Na. They use proper movements and know how to build a watch. Both Squale's I've had were great. And they pass the @Regal test!
As far as I understand, Fossil started building movements under the STP brand in 2008, so they've been around for a while. Most of the Zodiac watches use STP movements - they are owned by Fossil after all. However, for their GMT/World Time watches, they've used Soprod movements which haven't been tested as much and seemingly just aren't as reliable.
I mean, it really perturbs me that Zodiac's website just lists 'Movement: Automatic' on the spec listings for watches. I think its so disingenuous. The brand is aimed at watch enthusiasts...
