Like Marley, if I were worrying over staying power it would be about the large size and not the gold. I wear silver a fair amount but never with a chunky watch, only traditional size watches in silver, don't know why. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-of-you-are-wearing-chunky-gold-watches/page/2#post-1368166 Fri, 03 Oct 2014 02:31:04 +0000 bj1111 1368166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i have a huge silver one that i love, but am looking for something daintier or at least less in-your-face.</p> <p>i have an irrational thing against gold watches especially large face ones, especially if the watch face is black. &nbsp;clearly irrational, clearly my thing.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-of-you-are-wearing-chunky-gold-watches#post-1367640 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 15:40:30 +0000 Deb 1367640@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just to add to my comment above, rose gold isn't a bad choice for 'winter' coloured women. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-of-you-are-wearing-chunky-gold-watches#post-1367635 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 15:37:04 +0000 Deb 1367635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look like a winter in colouring and ideally winters and summers look best with white gold. Springs and Autumns suit yellow gold. Yellow gold is certainly beautiful and I wear it sometimes, but I know white gold or silver suit my colouring more. Something to think about anyway..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-of-you-are-wearing-chunky-gold-watches#post-1367310 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 01:30:27 +0000 Style Fan 1367310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love watches.&nbsp; I have a chunky Bulova watch that is stainless steel and gold that I wear the most.&nbsp; I have a couple of gold watches that are very dressy.&nbsp; I love silver and gold.&nbsp; Gold looks better on my skin but I like the design of silver jewellery so I wear both.&nbsp; I don't care if the 2 metals are mixed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-of-you-are-wearing-chunky-gold-watches#post-1367263 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 00:00:39 +0000 Anonymous 1367263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am a watch fiend and I love my one and only gold bracelet watch, the others are silver toned, or leather bands ( love my Minnie Mouse watch in red leather band). Unfortunately I can't wear the chunky ones because my wrists are too small.</p> <p>I also yearn for a rose gold watch. Might start looking for one soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-of-you-are-wearing-chunky-gold-watches#post-1367259 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 23:55:24 +0000 viva 1367259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is very similar to my MK Runway watch - I have a slightly different band. I love to have a gold watch. I think mine is 2 years old and I feel like it still has a lot of staying power. I wear mixed metals but love to pull it out for "golder" days. And I don't wear a ton of jewelry so I am not a magpie. It's often the only jewelry I am wearing besides rings and small earrings. It's a classic statement piece. I say yes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-of-you-are-wearing-chunky-gold-watches#post-1367238 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 23:20:20 +0000 Becca 1367238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A very fashion-forward co-worker of mine has been wearing a rose gold Michael Kors watch for years.&nbsp;</p> <p>I got a nice goldtone automatic Seiko from my father in law about year ago. It's an old mens watch that is now too small for most men to wear. Makes a great chunky watch for me!</p> <p>I actually wore it today with an off white top, jeans, and patent red wedges with brassy gold hardware. </p> <p>All my other daily wear&nbsp;jewelry is silver tones (wedding and engagement rings). It's definitely taken me time to get used to wearing gold.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-of-you-are-wearing-chunky-gold-watches#post-1367004 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 15:12:10 +0000 April 1367004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My chunky silver watch is from five or six&nbsp;years ago (when "boyfriend" watches were a new look and not very common). &nbsp;I have worn it daily since I bought it and it's the only wardrobe item&nbsp;that I love today as much as I did five years ago. &nbsp;</p> <p>I think I'm a silver girl through and through, but I expect to wake up one day, like Beth, and find that gold suddenly looks fresher to me.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-of-you-are-wearing-chunky-gold-watches#post-1366943 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 13:47:39 +0000 citygirldc 1366943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I used to wear watches all the time and now, nothing. &nbsp;I suppose I didn't want a tan line in the summer time and because I was outdoors so much. Maybe I'll get back into it because I do love my accessories. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-of-you-are-wearing-chunky-gold-watches#post-1366942 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 13:45:27 +0000 andis 1366942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Its awesome. I generally wear silver, gold, black with white face,&nbsp;and few&nbsp;different color&nbsp;watches that match with my dresses. Whenever I wear gold watch it look&nbsp;official to me&nbsp;and most of the time I wear it to official meetings &amp; parties. Among all the fashion branded&nbsp;watches, I like Fastrack &amp; for official wear I prefer&nbsp;Titan Raga watch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-of-you-are-wearing-chunky-gold-watches#post-1117707 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 00:35:07 +0000 Beth 1117707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks to all! Very helpful thoughts.</p> <p>Angie, I had a similar experience. For years, silver has looked more modern to me and gold felt classic and almost...dated. Then I woke up one day and gold looked new again! I'm guessing YLF was working its usual subliminal educating. :)</p> <p>Several of you mentioned size, which was something I was also thinking about. So I took a page from MaryK's book and searched less expensive watches. I found an Anne Klein watch at Amazon for $31 (!) which is a slightly smaller, less detailed&nbsp;version than the standard 38mm size.</p> <p>Lyn, my rings are gold too, which will look nice with a similar watch. And Claire, I hear you on the navy blazer. The gold buttons really stand out and look great. :)</p> <p>Looking forward to my new watch! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-of-you-are-wearing-chunky-gold-watches#post-1114696 Sun, 15 Dec 2013 12:01:00 +0000 Jjsloane 1114696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's gorgeous (but I have a DKNY Nolita wich is&nbsp;very similar). I have been adding to my watch collection so I can use them as an accessory. I have Gold (which I probably wear the most), white, tortoise, rose gold, silver with black face and a striped band Nixon (red and blue). I can't see ever giving up on the gold - it's the one I reach for most. As for the size it's a preference on how it feels. I cannot wear any bracelets as they make my wrist feel achy, but I can wear a huge watch with no problem.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-of-you-are-wearing-chunky-gold-watches#post-1114657 Sun, 15 Dec 2013 08:37:25 +0000 jayne 1114657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marley, my concern exactly.&nbsp; I tried the chunky white watch but never wore it because it just annoyed me.&nbsp; I type all day on a PC and it gets in the way.&nbsp; But I love the look!&nbsp; I keep sitting on the fence myself and haven't picked but I did put one on my xmas list </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-of-you-are-wearing-chunky-gold-watches#post-1114653 Sun, 15 Dec 2013 08:26:52 +0000 krishnidoux 1114653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear mine with most of my outfit and have found it not too much at all. I even sometimes add a gold bracelet to "soften" up the look without making it too heavy. I say go for it, you won't regret it.&nbsp;</p> <p>One of my students has one in a pink gold, and it looks very, very flattering too with all her outfits. Something to investigate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-of-you-are-wearing-chunky-gold-watches#post-1114536 Sun, 15 Dec 2013 04:00:08 +0000 Marley 1114536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a chunky Michael Kors gold watch - and its not the gold that is the issue for me, its the chunkiness.&nbsp; I have really pared down my accessories and alot of times my gold watch just feels too big. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-of-you-are-wearing-chunky-gold-watches#post-1114522 Sun, 15 Dec 2013 03:47:17 +0000 Anonymous 1114522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have both gold and silver MK chunky watches and wear them equally as much.

I have found yellow gold actually really versatile (thanks Angie)!</p> <p>I think if you like a chunky style, then go for it! It looks like a classic, the one you have chosen. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-of-you-are-wearing-chunky-gold-watches#post-1114269 Sat, 14 Dec 2013 22:26:39 +0000 Echo 1114269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In my mind, yellow gold IS gold. That's gold's natural colour, and it is always timeless and&nbsp;classic. I have &nbsp;chunky gold watch (though I rarely wear watches), and I feel that it goes with almost everything.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-of-you-are-wearing-chunky-gold-watches#post-1114240 Sat, 14 Dec 2013 21:49:58 +0000 Lisa 1114240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think gold is very classic.&nbsp; I remember when I was shopping for an engagement ring a few years back, you barely saw any yellow gold.&nbsp; More recently I am seeing much more yellow gold jewelry.&nbsp; I think the metals, as with everything else in fashion, come in and out of phase.&nbsp; If you like the yellow gold, go for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-of-you-are-wearing-chunky-gold-watches#post-1114206 Sat, 14 Dec 2013 21:11:05 +0000 Angie 1114206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry I forgot to answer your question, Beth. Why would a gold watch not have staying power? Go for it. Jules thinks it's classic - which is true of course&nbsp;- yet I view it as the&nbsp;modern metal. The brand new iphone 5 has been released in gold, and is sold out.&nbsp;</p> <p>Whenever I add gold to my outfits, they feel more modern somehow. They feel more classic when I add back the silver.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-of-you-are-wearing-chunky-gold-watches#post-1114195 Sat, 14 Dec 2013 21:04:13 +0000 RoseandJoan 1114195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My watch has a chunky gold face but has also has a&nbsp;black leather strap. I adore this watch and it's retro integrity.</p> <p>I think a gold watch would work with your style, silver does suggest refinement but to my eye gold is classic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-of-you-are-wearing-chunky-gold-watches#post-1114189 Sat, 14 Dec 2013 21:00:18 +0000 Angie 1114189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*raises hand*</p> <p>I moved to Team Gold three years ago when I turned 40. I literally woke up one day and&nbsp;loved gold. It actually looks better on my skin tone too. Why the heck did I spend 40 years in silver and platinum? The mind boggles.&nbsp;</p> <p>Here's my newest chunky gold watch. I chose one with a black face for a change because it feels retro.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-of-you-are-wearing-chunky-gold-watches#post-1114180 Sat, 14 Dec 2013 20:50:49 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1114180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a chunky watch in a mix of rose gold and silver and would still be wearing it if the battery hadn't died.&nbsp; I haven't remembered to replace it yet.</p> <p>I really like the one you posted and think it would be a nice addition to many outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-of-you-are-wearing-chunky-gold-watches#post-1114171 Sat, 14 Dec 2013 20:45:06 +0000 MsMary 1114171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that one!&nbsp; I have a cheap one I got at Target and I wear it a lot and love it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-of-you-are-wearing-chunky-gold-watches#post-1114169 Sat, 14 Dec 2013 20:44:39 +0000 Anonymous 1114169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's beautiful! I think gold really stands out in a way that silver doesn't. Maybe that's because it's been all silver for a decade or two, but maybe gold just shows up more <i>on me</i>, and silver tends to blend in with my coloring more. I had a navy blazer with gold buttons and I used to get lots of second glances at the buttons, in particular. I have a very small bust,&nbsp;so I'm quite sure it was the gold buttons getting the attention, lol! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-of-you-are-wearing-chunky-gold-watches#post-1114162 Sat, 14 Dec 2013 20:39:09 +0000 MRL 1114162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have always been on "team gold" and I think that you are ahead of the curve as I see gold coming back in.
