I wear it almost every day and I love it. It is looking as good as new and I have not had any trouble with it at all. I do make sure I put it on and take it off while standing on a carpeted area tho:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ceramic-watch-owners-re-durability#post-641754 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 03:04:18 +0000 Sarah A 641754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>love the blue bezel Meredith...

I went with plasteramic lol, a plastic watch by Toy watch.. I love it!<br /> It is similar to this one:<br /> <a href="http://www.toywatchusa.com/product/690/Monochrome-White-Watch-Collection" rel="nofollow">http://www.toywatchusa.com/pro.....Collection</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ceramic-watch-owners-re-durability#post-640247 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 15:23:12 +0000 Diana 640247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha, I think I notice the banging much more ever since I got a watch with a huge, heavy face, since now it makes a LOUD noise when it bumps into things! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ceramic-watch-owners-re-durability#post-640246 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 15:20:55 +0000 Sarah A 640246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MaryK, thanks for relaying your story. Glad the replacement is going strong!</p> <p>Diana, i dont *think* i bang my watch around too much but there are a few deep scratches in the stainless band of my citizen. So I obviously hit it on something some time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ceramic-watch-owners-re-durability#post-640243 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 15:16:37 +0000 Diana 640243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, do you find yourself banging your existing watch or bracelets on things? I know I would never be able to handle a ceramic watch because I bang my watch/bracelets on walls, tables, etc, all the time. I am a klutz though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ceramic-watch-owners-re-durability#post-640229 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 14:58:43 +0000 MsMary 640229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have one that I LOVE, and I haven't had any problem with chipping. </p> <p>But.</p> <p>One evening it got caught on the lining of my sleeve as I was removing my coat, and one of the links broke in a place that couldn't be fixed, so the watch was ruined. It was out of warranty by that time, and I loved the watch, so I bought another one exactly like it and have had no problems with the new one. I'd say the first one lasted more than a year of almost daily wear, and the replacement is going strong after more than two years of averaging-twice-a-week wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ceramic-watch-owners-re-durability#post-640225 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 14:55:47 +0000 Sarah A 640225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have really been thinking about a white watch for the summer and I really love some of the ceramic models.</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004VBGNYG/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&#038;m=ATVPDKIKX0DER" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/gp/produ.....PDKIKX0DER</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.overstock.com/Jewelry-Watches/Emporio-Armani-Womens-White-Dial-Ceramic-Watch/6493533/product.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.overstock.com/Jewel.....oduct.html</a></p> <p>But... I am not the easiest on things and have two young kids who are constantly pulling on my watches &amp; jewelry too. And with Angie's shattered band story and a lot of the reviews on these watches cite chips.... Are these isolated instances or the norm?</p> <p>I know the look wouldnt be quite as posh, but I considering just getting a new watch band for a watch with a pretty white w/silver face/gold case that was recently acquired from DH's discard collection. He has had it since HS 20 years ago so it's durability is a proven commodity.

Will the new band give this watch a fresh summer look or drop money on the ceramic and hope I don't break it? </p> <p>P.S. I am also lusting after a large gold tone mens watch will likely be a "share watch" btwn DH and myself... maybe spend the money there instead of the ceramic. </p> <p>Would love your inputs! Thanks!</p> <p>ETA: do i just order this one from Nordie's online (none local) and hope their telephone customer service is as outstanding as in store should I develop any problems? Anyone have experience with this aspect of their business?</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/dkny-ceramic-chronograph-bracelet-watch/3262277?origin=shoppingbag" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/dk.....hoppingbag</a> </p>
