With Father's Day coming up, Fossil's Superman collection has some fun gifting options for you to consider.
The American fashion and accessories brand released the collection in conjunction with American director James Gunn's upcoming film Superman, which revisits the superhero's story for a new era and opens in Singapore cinemas on July 10.
The two key timepieces are inspired by Fossil's previous Superman collections from the 1990s and 2000s.
The S-Shield Watch ($359) is a stainless-steel piece featuring Superman's logo against a cracked-effect dial.
Meanwhile, the Metropolis Watch ($329) features a gold and silver-toned piece with an image of Superman soaring above the skyline of his city, Metropolis, on the dial. This watch comes with a navy leather strap.
The collection also includes two-toned stainless-steel cuff links ($129) shaped like Superman's S-shield logo, along with leather wallets (from $129) and a beaded bracelet ($129).

Keeping one's kitchen countertops clutter-free while also ensuring appliances are accessible is a challenge for Singapore's space-constrained households.
Sharp's new 26L Air Fry Microwave Oven ($393) is unique in offering a microwave that combines convection and grill functions, as well as an air fryer mode.
The R-26CAF-B comes with a digital control panel, LED cavity lighting and two-stage cooking, so you can move seamlessly from microwaving to air frying to grilling.
The Japanese consumer electronics brand has also released a solo flatbed microwave oven, R-26SIF-BS ($212), which does away with the rotating turntable.
