Both watches are gorgeous. I also am looking for just the right watch and it is more difficult than I thought it would be to find one that feels like me. So far I have been impressed with the Fossil and some of the the Bulova for how soft they look.

Nice watch, Shana!

I like Fossil watches, and would purchase another in the future.

Angie and some of the other ladies here rock their white watches in all brands, styles, and price points. Ultimately, we have to be true to our own styles. If you sensed something was off, then good for you for trusting your instincts and continuing your search instead of settling.

Wear it in good health, girl!

Both are beautiful, and I especially love your new watch. It's fun to find a piece that is so perfectly suited to you!

My "signature watch" is also a silver Fossil watch, but unfortunately the battery died a while back and the battery compartment is darn near impossible to open - most jewelry stores give up trying and I definitely can't pry it open at home.

Yes, finding the right watch is definitely not easy. I probably tried on 100 watches years ago before I settled on the Jaeger. With the Fossil, I was actually in the store trying on white watches and as I was describing what I wanted - sporty, masculine with a touch of femininity, small enough to fit on my wrist but large enough to look kind of chunky - the sales person pulled this one out. At first I said, no, I am looking for a white watch but figured I'd give it a try. As soon as I put it on, it felt right. I actually kept looking for another week but decided to go back for this one. I've received a couple of compliments so far on it too!

Great watch! Fossil is wonderful. I'd scoped out a Michael Kors watch at Nordstrom that I liked, then discovered that Fossil makes the MK watches! The Fossil was half the cost. So your new watch is not only stylish, but a smart buy.

I love it, Shana. I have been thinking to myself that I really want a "boyfriend" style watch myself. I didn't know there was a name for it but the name captures the look perfectly. I'm thinking I'd like to look for a vintage watch. The men's styles used to be much smaller so would do the trick well.

Wow I *love* your new watch Shana. Its divine!!!

It's beautiful Shana, and just the right size for your wrist. I'm not a glitzy watch girl either, so I really love this look.

Thanks everyone! I am enjoying my new watch and have been wearing it often. My Jaeger is mechanical (and not automatic so I have to wind it) so it's nice having a watch that always reflects the accurate time!

Laura, yes, Fossil actually makes many licensed watches including Armani, Michael Kors, Burberry, DKNY, Marc Jacobs and they own Zodiac as well as Angie's watch brand, Michele. There are very few independent watchmakers remaining and the industry as a whole is fairly consolidated. When I purchased this one, I was looking at one of the Michael Kors watches that looked nearly identical - except for the bling!

Alecia, that's a great idea! My husband is a vintage watch collector - it's hard to find the sportier versions though. Alot of the vintage watches out there are more likely going to be dress watches but the sizes are definitely smaller. I guess men's watches are growing in size just as womens are! My husband is now jokingly referring to his sports watch as his "boyfriend" watch!

Inge, I was thinking of you when I was at the Fossil store - I spotted the watch you had written about awhile back (brown with the funky asymmetrical chain strap). I tried it on too and it was beautiful. I love watches so it's hard for me to stay focused!

Shana - that's great. I love watches with large faces!

FABULOUS. I love everything about it and wish you joy wearing it, Shana. Quite the statement piece!
