Even though I like mixed metal, I prefer the cleaner design of the watches in pics 1 and 3 for you. And I agree with Ginger about rose gold -- somehow for me it seems more neutral than either gold or silver. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/loving-these-watches#post-1718509 Wed, 24 Aug 2016 18:19:55 +0000 viva 1718509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love 3. Fantastic mix of masculine/feminine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/loving-these-watches#post-1718486 Wed, 24 Aug 2016 17:33:11 +0000 Anonymous 1718486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I must love blingy because I adore number 5.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/loving-these-watches#post-1718478 Wed, 24 Aug 2016 17:25:13 +0000 Ginger 1718478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I discovered rose gold for myself last year, and I'm in love, so I'm also down for #3. :D&nbsp; Like you, I'm not sure if silver or gold is better for me; actually, I think silver is marginally better. But rose gold really looks good, and in my mind is a semi-neutral. It's like the "blush" of metals.</p> <p>I also like the clean dial; #5 is very busy already with the mixed metal, and the cluttered dial is too much for me. But I've never particularly liked mixed metal pieces, so take that with a grain of salt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/loving-these-watches#post-1718454 Wed, 24 Aug 2016 16:37:08 +0000 gradfashionista 1718454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Smittie,&nbsp;</b>a dressy shoe or bag would definitely help offset the contrast between a nice watch and a very casual outfit. Additional jewelry could probably help, too.</p> <p>Good to know,&nbsp;<b>Aida</b>. I'm still not quite sure if silver or gold is more flattering--rose gold seems like a nice compromise. Unlike I go with black, but I'm trying to avoid 'black out' outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/loving-these-watches#post-1718242 Wed, 24 Aug 2016 03:17:09 +0000 Keix 1718242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #3/4, and I don't think it's too big on you. I've tried 36mm watches on my (6" circumference) wrist and the height of the face entirely covers up my wrist--but on your wrist you can still see flesh/bone definition on either side, which makes it fashionably oversized. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/loving-these-watches#post-1718137 Tue, 23 Aug 2016 23:08:13 +0000 El Cee 1718137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for #3 -- gorgeous on you!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/loving-these-watches#post-1718122 Tue, 23 Aug 2016 22:52:22 +0000 Aida 1718122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#3 gets my vote! FWIW as another Very Pale Gal, I don't find the rose difficult to wear in winter. I wear my rose gold watch all year! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/loving-these-watches#post-1718114 Tue, 23 Aug 2016 22:36:04 +0000 Colette 1718114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh #3 is my favorite. But I do like #5 too. (And I wear my gifted blingy watch with everything.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/loving-these-watches#post-1718098 Tue, 23 Aug 2016 22:21:51 +0000 Anonymous 1718098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with Angie!<br /> I wonder how to pair the blingy one, my favourite, with your dressed down out outfits. I think I would want a dressy bag and shoe to go with this watch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/loving-these-watches#post-1718079 Tue, 23 Aug 2016 21:53:59 +0000 Angie 1718079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are all gorgeous. I like the watches in pics #2 and #3 best. I like the watch in #5 the least.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/loving-these-watches#post-1718073 Tue, 23 Aug 2016 21:44:04 +0000 Anonymous 1718073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a big watch freak, and I'm swooning over #3!&nbsp; That is one beautiful watch!&nbsp; I like the others fine, but #3 is a standout.&nbsp; I love the mix of metals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/loving-these-watches#post-1718072 Tue, 23 Aug 2016 21:38:00 +0000 gradfashionista 1718072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is the first time I've gone watch shopping in many, many years. Aside from actually needing one, I realized that the right watch would be an easy and effective way for me to add daily glam to my otherwise casual outfits, rather than relying on a particular garment to add the oomph factor (shoes are a no-go because of foot issues, and I'm not a big jewelry wearer). Plus, I'm starting a new position in the Fall and wanted something memorable to mark the occasion. </p> <p>I had hoped to choose a Citizen Eco-Drive to spare me the hassle of changing batteries, but I wasn't attracted to any of the models. There were plenty of mixed metal options to placate my sensible side that wanted something that would "go with everything," but none of them elicited joy. </p> <p>I ended up ordering a total of four watches for comparison, two of which arrived today. The strap style in #1 and #2 was a look I was attracted to a few years ago, but it may be too casual for my needs. </p> <p>Once upon a time, the bracelet link watch in #3 and #4 would've been too oversized for me. However, tastes and confidence change. Now, this watch makes me inexplicably giddy. Oversized, feminine, with a touch of sparkle to harmonize the clash of metals. Who knew that watch shopping could actually be fun? I also ordered it in silver (hasn't yet arrived) to compare, but I really like the rose gold. My arms are tanned, so the colour would stand out more in the winter. </p> <p>Thoughts?</p> <p>ETA: A third option just arrived. Also gorgeous, but maybe a tad too blingy. </p>
