I'll post some pics and a keep or return when it arrives. Maybe I'll have some idea what band would go with it then. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returning-to-watch-shopping#post-609514 Tue, 01 May 2012 20:55:51 +0000 Astrid 609514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for chiming in Isabel. I'm not sure if I would really change bands regularly, but I definitely want a different one for starters because that black croco band on the original isn't my thing at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returning-to-watch-shopping#post-609479 Tue, 01 May 2012 20:21:17 +0000 Isabel 609479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like numbers better anyway, so I would tend to say go for the send one. I also love interchangeable bands. But only you know if you will actually change your bands. I use my watches like jewelry that I switch around quite a bit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returning-to-watch-shopping#post-609426 Tue, 01 May 2012 19:28:27 +0000 Astrid 609426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Sarah. I'm not sure about white, but I like the idea of turquoise. It's actually no problem to change out the bands on most watches on your own, my dad does it all the time, coordinating the band with his clothes. You use one of these:</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.de/Federstegbesteck-Profi-Qualit%C3%A4t-f%C3%BCr-alle-Uhren-Armb%C3%A4nder/dp/B001GFCGVE/ref=sr_1_8?s=watch&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1335900725&#038;sr=1-8" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.de/Federsteg.....038;sr=1-8</a></p> <p>ETA </p> <p>Two more bands. I think I like this blue one better than the one above, it's more RATE. Or maybe lilac instead of white? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returning-to-watch-shopping#post-609420 Tue, 01 May 2012 19:20:19 +0000 Sarah A 609420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i think the pink is lovely, or perhaps white/cream, or turquoise are tops on my list right now. i am not sure of the quality of this brand but i find the concept quite fascinating...</p> <p>Invicta Women's 0688 Wildflower Collection Crystal Accented Interchangeable Strap Watch Set</p> <p><a href="http://www.endless.com/Watches-Womens-Watches/s/ref=topnav_sd_watches_womens_gw/192-0887880-8311501?ie=UTF8&#038;node=2244102011&#038;pf_rd_r=0EX1KPS483BWXXTZD6WY&#038;pf_rd_m=AF16NM0QF9TKW&#038;pf_rd_t=101&#038;pf_rd_i=homepage&#038;pf_rd_p=1360251442&#038;pf_rd_s=headernav#__ie%3DUTF8%26fromPage%3Dsearch%26sr%3D1-55%26qid%3D1335900215167%26asinTitle%3DInvicta~~200688~~20Wildflower~~20Collection~~20Crystal~~20Accented~~20Interchangeable~~20Strap~~20Watch~~20Set%26contextTitle%3Dsearch~~20results%26clientPageSize%3D100%26brands%3DInvicta%26node%3D2244102011%26sort%3Drelevance-fs-browse-rank%26nodes%3D2244102011%26rnid%3Dbrands%26asin%3DB004C4RSW8%26ref%3Dsr_1_55%26pageCode%3Dd" rel="nofollow">http://www.endless.com/Watches.....geCode%3Dd</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returning-to-watch-shopping#post-609417 Tue, 01 May 2012 19:16:20 +0000 Astrid 609417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Diana! I thought about getting the second one, because there are no numbers on my current one either and I want something different. Although I haven't seen the second one IRL, so I don't know how it comes across. I can see how the first one would be less fussy. I don't worry about telling the time, like you said, it's just a matter of getting used to it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returning-to-watch-shopping#post-609409 Tue, 01 May 2012 19:10:05 +0000 Diana 609409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think you can go wrong with either... I do have a slight preference for the first one (I think the numbers look more fussy and I prefer the cleaner aesthetic of the one without the numbers) but not sure it is a 30 euro preference!</p> <p>I have a watch with NO markings at all except for a gold spot where the 12 would be, and I can tell time on it just fine. I promise you get used to it. =) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returning-to-watch-shopping#post-609401 Tue, 01 May 2012 18:51:31 +0000 Astrid 609401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have looked for some bands, but I'm not sure what would look good with it. Maybe navy? Or pink to make it look more feminine? Croco? Or not? I've no idea... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returning-to-watch-shopping#post-609254 Tue, 01 May 2012 15:47:54 +0000 Astrid 609254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The first watch face is also fairly similar to the one of my current watch, maybe it would be more interesting to go with the numbers and get something different. I don't need the signifier (I don't have one now and it isn't a problem), but I agree that function comes first. I don't want a watch face that's so ornate that I can't tell the time anymore. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returning-to-watch-shopping#post-609242 Tue, 01 May 2012 15:41:50 +0000 Mamapicklejuice 609242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I much prefer the one with numbers. Particularly since the first watch doesn't include any signifier for "12". I MUST be able to tell time on my watch - some people buy just for looks, but I need form AND function. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returning-to-watch-shopping#post-609237 Tue, 01 May 2012 15:39:10 +0000 Astrid 609237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Meredith. There's really no difference between both as the second one is marked down, it's just a question what watch face looks best. I think I'll go with the second one and add another band. The black is rather harsh, I think another color would look better on me and with my things. I found it hard to find something I like, there's too much going on in most cases for my taste. My current watch is rather simple too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returning-to-watch-shopping#post-609231 Tue, 01 May 2012 15:31:33 +0000 Meredith1953 609231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Astrid,<br /> I like them both! I would probably go with the less expensive one unless you feel it would be less reliable. I looked a long time too before I bought my two newest watches. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returning-to-watch-shopping#post-609228 Tue, 01 May 2012 15:29:33 +0000 Astrid 609228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Ruth. Sounds like I can't do anything wrong with the watch above. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returning-to-watch-shopping#post-609219 Tue, 01 May 2012 15:19:32 +0000 Anonymous 609219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been extremely happy with my Citizen eco drive watch, which I purchased several years ago from J.C. Penney. I recently posted about the extremely low CPW I've gotten from this! I wear it all the time. It is now available at Amazon:</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Citizen-EW8664-53A-Eco-Drive-Silhouette-Two-Tone/dp/B000ZPKWXU/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1335885463&#038;sr=8-2" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Citizen-.....038;sr=8-2</a></p> <p>I just bought another Citizen eco drive watch, this time from Amazon. It arrived yesterday, and I'm quite pleased. I haven't worn it yet, as I need to have some links taken out to make it fit properly. Yes, it looks a lot like the other watch, but I wanted something a little dressier this time around:</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Citizen-Womens-EW9964-54D-Silhouette-Drive/dp/B004JK8J5U" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Citizen-.....B004JK8J5U</a></p> <p>My DH and his father also wear Citizen watches. They've had them for years. My DH bought his a few years ago when we were aboard a Carnival cruise ship. They had a really good sale, and he took advantage of it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returning-to-watch-shopping#post-609189 Tue, 01 May 2012 14:38:20 +0000 Astrid 609189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Sarah. It's from Amazon, so that should be alright. I've heard good things about citizen too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returning-to-watch-shopping#post-609183 Tue, 01 May 2012 14:28:33 +0000 Sarah A 609183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i like how both look i would probably go with the less expensive one IF it from a reputable online source. I have been very pleased with the performance of my citizen eco-drive watch i have had since 2004. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returning-to-watch-shopping#post-609175 Tue, 01 May 2012 14:23:09 +0000 Astrid 609175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I started looking for a new watch some time ago and was in a bit of a double bind, because the watches I liked best were too expensive for me and I really want a new one. I definitely wanted oversized, but very simple.</p> <p>I tried the first in a store the day before yesterday and I liked the size and the simple look of it. They're holding it for me until Thursday. Now I've seen the second one (the same as #1 only with numerics) online for 30€ less. Should I buy #2 and use the price difference to my advantage and buy another band for it? Or should I pass on both? </p>
