Which watch? - YouLookFab Forum

Since I bought my rose gold/black Fossil watch in the summer, I have come to love wearing a bold watch and find I'm wearing bracelets less and less and turning to my watch as my "arm candy".

I have some "fun money" left from Christmas and have decided I would like to add another watch. I currently have in my watch collection:

Rose gold/black
silver with white face
black leather strap with silver/white face

My thrifted gold one isn't thrilling me much these days so I'm wanting to replace it with either gold or a gold/silver combination.

I have narrowed it down to either this Fossil gold with tortoise face or gold/silver Michael Kors twist watch (an Angie choice in 2013). Price wise these are both in my budget.

Which one speaks to you in terms of working more with my style? Thanks in advance for your fab advice

I vote for #2.
It can take the place of a bracelet easily.

I personally love 1, but I agree with Deb that 2 is more like jewellery.

Astrid

I vote #1.

I like them both, but am leaning towards #1. However, #2 is very pretty also, and could be worn with both gold and silver so would be extra versatile.

I vote #2, (Though I too think #1 is beautiful and see why you've picked it!) but I'm not a very impartial voter, as I have #2 also and love, love, love it! Seriously love it. And I didn't even realize it had been an Angie pick?! Like you, I've slowly gotten away from bracelets, and I love the interest the links provide and the overall bold size, especially since being tall, it seems to "fit" my stature. Plus, being silver and gold, it goes with everything, including my wedding bands, and I can mix and match virtually any earrings or necklaces, though I tend towards the very sparse/minimal there too. And I adore bracelet-style bands, especially for comfort in fluctuating temps.

I am going to vote #2 because I think it is the best choice for your wardrobe, plus I love a bracelet link watch.

I have a very pretty MK tortoise watch with a gold face. It's beautiful but to me it is "brown" and I don't wear brown so it doesn't get a lot of use. The two tone works with both warm and cool shades.

I like #1 but I am partial to Fossil watches. The Michael Kors watch has a white face which might be too similar to the one you already own? Plus, Fossil makes Michael Kors watches so you are paying a premium for the Michael Kors brand, which is totally fine if you like the design.

Ooh, #1! I think since it is solid gold it will be more different from your others and work better when you want a gold accent.

#1. You already have two watches with white face. It is very cool and I think it will work very well with your modern classic style.

modgrl

You seem more like a graphic black and white kind of girl. I don't see you wearing too many browns or earth tones. I would vote for #2.

Ariadne

I love them both. I like the fresh white face and jewelry-like look of the band in #2. I also love the chunky boldness of #1, but how would the brown work with your wardrobe?

Glory

that is a tough choice - can I vote both? teehee.
If I had to choose I would have to pick 1 for several reasons:
1. I do like Fossil watches.
2. It has a edgier feel to me.
3. I rcvd a Eco watch for xmas that looks very similar!

#1. Although you don't wear brown really. How about a gold watch with a black face?

I'm loving this one here:

Although that one might be too similar to what you already have? I'm not remembering them exactly.

Raisin

I think #1 looks more modern and I personally prefer that one.

carter

#1 is totally gorgeous! I wear brown with black, navy, gray, everything.

nancylee

They are both great watches. #1 is more streamlined/masculine while #2 is more feminine (bracelet-y). Personally, I like #1, but you might have other watches like it. If you're look for some variety and more of an arm candy/bracelet function for your watch, maybe #2 is the best bet.

Joy

Both watches are beautiful. I vote 1 or one with a black face as the most different from your others. I've admired Angie's when she's worn it with her outfits.
This one is on sale

I really like Angie's idea.

Beth Ann

#2, but I agree that a gold with a black face might be even closer to your ideal style. Both of these are stunners!

Stuti

Love #2. I have it and wear it a lot.
The face band is gold and not silver.
It's def like jewelry make statement of its own and no need to see if purse has silver hardware and shoes has gold.
Win win in my eyes

Catnip

You're not going to believe that I've been thinking about this for five minutes and still can't decide. They are both gorgeous. I love the tortoise face with the gold metal, and agree with Carter that it would look good with black and other colors. On the other hand, the design of the Michael Kors watch is somewhat unique and more modern. I think I just talked myself into watch #2.

gryffin

Wow, Shannon, this is giving me a headache!! They are both beautiful. I think #1 is bolder and tortoise is kind of neutral and it's a lot of visual umph!! But #2 is more bracelet like and would work with both metals which means it is more versatile. I also like the idea of a gold watch with a black face....hence my headache!! So back to you!! What is calling to you!! You have gorgeous taste, what is pulling at your heartstrings and which would be most useful?

Jewell

Of the two pictured, my vote goes to #1. The tortoise face is a very "Shannon-type detail" to me.

Lyn D.

I like them both but #1 for you!

Gigi

I like them both. I think it depends what kind of "vibe" you want. I think #1 is more utilitarian and practical, while #2 is more feminine and tastefully glitzy.

carambola

These are both beautiful. I vote #1 or a gold one with a black face because of what modgirl and Angie said.

Thistle

I love #1!
