There are definitely some good quality affordable watches, but Fossil isn't one of them. The quality and engineering difference in a high end watch is massive.
The value in movements also comes from a lot of engineering geek factors such as how long the power reserve lasts, the complexity of the timekeeping (timezones, moon phases, day/week/date features, precision of chronograph, etc). You're paying for what is essentially mechanical engineering art.
