I tired of wearing such a large watch. My current watch is a Bering and it is charged by light - no batteries or winding! So far I love it. I have had it probably 9 months. It is a metal mesh band though, and I am not sure if it comes in a leather version.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/modern-wristwatch#post-2320794 Mon, 01 May 2023 02:13:44 +0000 elpgal 2320794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Roberta, I love all these options. Especially the Nordgreen! I wish I had your luck with the Skagen watches. </p> <p>Echo, thanks! I had heard of Movado but wrote them off as being clangy and heavy but I was wrong! Off yo take another look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/modern-wristwatch#post-2320793 Mon, 01 May 2023 01:31:28 +0000 Echo 2320793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not familiar with Skagen watches, but when looking at them and thinking about the modern look, I can't help but think of Movado. Movado has a very simple, clean aesthetic and strike me as modern but timeless at the same time.<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.movado.com/us/en/womens-designs/shop-all-womens/?country=US&amp;utm_campaign=US%7cGoogle%7cText%7c%7cBrand%7cPure&amp;utm_source=google&amp;utm_medium=paid&amp;gclid=EAIaIQobChMIuf2o2PvS_gIVeAKzAB3pRgoGEAAYASABEgJpwvD_BwE&amp;gclsrc=aw.ds">https://www.movado.com/us/en/w.....S%7cGoogle</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/modern-wristwatch#post-2320787 Mon, 01 May 2023 00:09:50 +0000 Roberta 2320787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have three Skagens of different sizes and still wear them all. The oldest was a birthday gift 25 years ago. So I must differ with your watch guy. :-)</p> <p>I like the Nixon watches and own one, but they're almost all too big a face for my taste. </p> <p>Like you, I prefer a leather band and an easily readable face. I have Marc Jacobs, Fossil, and Michael Kors watches in this style, but they are all five to ten years old and the styles have changed.&nbsp;</p> <p>You might like the <a rel="nofollow" href="https://projectswatches.com">Projects watches</a>. They took over the Sointu designs and are often seen in museum stores. MOMA, MOCA, MCA Chicago, etc. They tend to be very severe black and white designs or very mod and colorful! The <a rel="nofollow" href="https://nordgreen.com">Nordgreen watches</a> are also very sleek, and are available from 28 to 36 mm. Nordgreen.com</p> <p>Finally, the Mondaine (below) is a classic and yet very modern looking to my eye. Most are under $300. Leather and metal bands and a range of face sizes.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/modern-wristwatch#post-2320786 Sun, 30 Apr 2023 23:33:59 +0000 elpgal 2320786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, Can’t do Finds but I am so very tempted by this watch necklace.<br /> <a href="https://www.shinola.com/womens/watches/runwell-watch-necklace-gold-2428.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.shinola.com/womens.....-2428.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/modern-wristwatch#post-2320785 Sun, 30 Apr 2023 23:14:23 +0000 Angie 2320785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>May I suggest looking at Shinola:&nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.shinola.com/womens/watches.html">https://www.shinola.com/womens/watches.html</a></p> <p>I have a gold Shinola. I LOVE the Shinola story, the aesthetic, and am a big fan. Made in the US. I am putting a new battery into it this week! I haven't worn it since I got my Apple watch in 2019. I want to wear my Shinola again :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/modern-wristwatch#post-2320778 Sun, 30 Apr 2023 19:51:11 +0000 cat2 2320778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Boomwatches.com.

Small wrists and they have the right sizes for me. The only issue is that it keeps running out of batteries and this time around they could not get the back back on. It is damaged beyond repair :(. I could have it sent to Skagen for mew housing but it’s cost-prohibitive. On the other hand, I can DIY replacement of the battery in my Swatch Watch. I’ll look at Daniel Washington. Ted Baker and Olivia Burton have small watches but the designs skew trendy.</p> <p>Cat2: Ooh! i like what I am seeing but where do I buy them from? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/modern-wristwatch#post-2320772 Sun, 30 Apr 2023 18:58:34 +0000 DonnaF 2320772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fwiw, I'm on my second Skagen watch because the first one fell apart/broke the second time my husband tried to replace the battery. I have tiny wrists, so it's a challenge to find watches with smallish faces that look proportionately oversized, and Skagen fits the bill. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/modern-wristwatch#post-2320765 Sun, 30 Apr 2023 18:12:31 +0000 LJP 2320765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have one two tone Skagen that needs a new battery - I really should wear it more often - and it’s been absolutely fine . They’re not terribly expensive but no maintenance necessary other than a battery . I also like - what’s it’s called ? - Daniel Washington ? for clean lined looks . I loved mine and wore it forever but a new battery stumped the kiosk I took it to who removed the back, damaged it and couldn’t get it back on . Also not terribly expensive . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/modern-wristwatch#post-2320764 Sun, 30 Apr 2023 17:40:21 +0000 cat2 2320764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>BOOM watches from Sweden are sleek. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/modern-wristwatch#post-2320761 Sun, 30 Apr 2023 16:30:29 +0000 elpgal 2320761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear a wristwatch almost everyday and am looking to add an investment piece after experimenting with some styles. I love the look of Skagen watches but they seem to need a lot of maintenance and my watch guy calls them ‘toss-away watches’. His recommendations tend to be more heavy and classic than I like (sleek, light, with leather bands and clean dials’.</p> <p>Do you all have recommendations for brands with a modern aesthetic? </p>
