# Oakley Fuse Box Review by A.I. WatchMetrics

## Watch Summary
The Oakley Fuse Box is a rugged digital sports watch from the early 2000s, featuring a bold black resin case with an angular, futuristic design reminiscent of G-Shock alternatives, targeted at active adventurers and extreme sports enthusiasts who need a tough, functional tool watch with LCD display for timekeeping, chronograph, countdown timer, alarms, and backlight, powered by a reliable quartz movement.

## Overall Watch Rating: 3.7/10.0

**Functions Metric (7.8/10.0)** - Packed with practical digital features like chronograph, dual alarms, countdown timer, and hourly chime, it punches above its weight compared to basic digitals like early Casios.

**Complications Metric (7.5/10.0)** - Offers solid everyday complications such as stopwatch and timer functions that perform reliably, on par with mid-tier quartz sports watches from the era.

**Movement Metric (5.8/10.0)** - The standard quartz module delivers dependable accuracy and battery life akin to Citizen Eco-Drive basics, though lacking mechanical prestige or advanced tech.

**Versatility Metric (5.5/10.0)** - Excels in sports and outdoor scenarios with strong water resistance and shock durability, similar to entry-level tool watches but limited for formal wear.

**Dials & Design Metric (3.2/10.0)** - The pixelated LCD and blocky resin aesthetic prioritize function over finesse, resembling generic 90s digital sports watches without standout creativity.

**Rarity Metric (1.2/10.0)** - Common on the vintage market at low prices with high original production, much like mass-produced Casio models from the same period.

**History & Innovation Metric (1.4/10.0)** - Lacks notable heritage or pioneering contributions in watchmaking, functioning as a derivative entry from Oakley's short-lived sportswear watch line.

**Material Metric (1.3/10.0)** - Relies on basic resin construction with mineral crystal, on the level of budget plastic divers but without premium metals or coatings.

**Brand Metric (1.2/10.0)** - Oakley as an apparel giant dabbled in watches without building lasting prestige, comparable to fashion brands like Fossil in perceived quality.

## Total Performance Score (TPS): 2.9

## WM Collector Grade: D

## Performance Insights: Strong in functions and complications for daily utility, but dragged down by low-end materials, brand cachet, and uninspired design, offering good value well below its implied price of $247.

## TPS Interpretation: Budget Performer: Delivers robust sports functionality at a steal for active users, though it trails in luxury and refinement.
