I can imagine that the Skagen watch feels delicate after wearing the other two. I like your plans for adding another one.</p> <p>I've had another look at the Fossil website and I've found this one:<br /> <a href="http://s7ondemand7.scene7.com/is/image/FossilPartners/ES2860_main?$fossilResponsive_pdpdetail$" rel="nofollow">http://s7ondemand7.scene7.com/.....pdpdetail$</a></p> <p>It's definitely versatile with the silver and I really like the classic look, but it's a bit more dressy than the third Fossil watch I linked to. Maybe this one would be a nice alternative to the ones with the leather band I linked to first. These are all oversized btw. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thinking-about-updating-my-watch#post-564096 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 12:30:16 +0000 Jjsloane 564096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you should look at the oversized if you already have a basic"dress" watch. I've recently expanded my watch collection and it can be fun. For reference I have (picture 1) a silver mesh Skagen (about 5 years old and love it - just replaced the band), but it feels a bit delicate after I wear my new Michael Kors tortoise watch and new FOssil resin (I couldn't hold out for ceramic prices to drop) For fun I found a Timex with a big face and narrow band and found a bunch of Jcrew changeable bands for it for summer. My next purchase is either a colorful ceramic or a Horn watch.<br /> <a href="http://www.toywatchusa.com/product/139/Neon-Plasteramic-Atomic-Orange-Watch-Collection" rel="nofollow">http://www.toywatchusa.com/pro.....Collection</a><br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/ak-anne-klein-round-ceramic-bracelet-watch/3207302?origin=keywordsearch&#038;resultback=4800" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/ak.....tback=4800</a><br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/michael-kors-tessa-resin-bracelet-watch/3256735?origin=keywordsearch&#038;resultback=300" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/mi.....ltback=300</a></p> <p>I'd love to find this one:<br /> <a href="http://www.dooney.com/OA_HTML/ibeCCtpSctDspRte.jsp?section=23603" rel="nofollow">http://www.dooney.com/OA_HTML/.....tion=23603</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thinking-about-updating-my-watch#post-563333 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 19:18:04 +0000 Astrid 563333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the link, Sarah! I didn't know that brand at all, but some of these look great. Although I'm going back to the Fossil ones too. I think this will be a tough decision. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thinking-about-updating-my-watch#post-563326 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 19:12:48 +0000 sarah 563326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a Skagen watch, too! But I can totally see you in an oversized watch. I like the fossil ones. Have you looked at the Tokyo Bay watches? I could see you in one of those, too.</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Tokyo-Women-Watch-Small-Track/dp/B0049YWRXG/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1331406983&#038;sr=8-3" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Tokyo-Wo.....038;sr=8-3</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thinking-about-updating-my-watch#post-563146 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 16:15:47 +0000 Astrid 563146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Shannon, that's really a long time! If my new one would last that long it'll be definitely worth the money.</p> <p>Meredith, your Skagen watch is very pretty! I also like your two other watches, thanks for posting a picture. You can really see the scale difference.</p> <p>The metal mesh of my current watch is very comfortable to wear, I'm not sure how I feel about changing to a leather band like with the first Fossil watch I posted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thinking-about-updating-my-watch#post-563135 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 15:57:29 +0000 Meredith1953 563135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Astrid,<br /> I got mine I believe 4 years ago at Macy's. I fell in love with the black face and the distinctive metal mesh of the band. I had never even heard of the brand before but I immediately looked them up. I'll take a picture of mine and post it right now. Also I have included my other two so you can see the scale difference in the faces. My other two definitely are large bold faces. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thinking-about-updating-my-watch#post-563129 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 15:52:19 +0000 Transcona Shannon 563129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought my hubby a Fossil watch in 1992 and it just died last month! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thinking-about-updating-my-watch#post-563120 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 15:48:36 +0000 Astrid 563120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Angie! I guess I knew you would say that. I'm just not sure about the style. A simple silver one would be the most versatile I guess. Something like this <a href="http://s7ondemand7.scene7.com/is/image/FossilPartners/ES3052_main?$fossilResponsive_pdpdetail$" rel="nofollow">http://s7ondemand7.scene7.com/.....pdpdetail$</a>. Although the ones above are so pretty!</p> <p>Thanks, Shannon. I've heard lots of good things about Fossil and that would be my price range too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thinking-about-updating-my-watch#post-563112 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 15:45:23 +0000 Astrid 563112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Meredith, that's funny! When I bought the Skagen watch they weren't that well known yet. I remember that they didn't have them at all in south Germany, but only where we were on holiday (near Denmark). I guess the Swatch styles would be totally different in comparison to my current watch style. Maybe they are too edgy to work for me? I definitely don't want anything with gold, I don't wear gold at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thinking-about-updating-my-watch#post-563109 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 15:42:25 +0000 Transcona Shannon 563109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the oversized watches and am a huge fan of Fossil. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thinking-about-updating-my-watch#post-563105 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 15:40:58 +0000 Angie 563105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote oversized! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thinking-about-updating-my-watch#post-563095 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 15:32:02 +0000 Meredith1953 563095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Astrid,<br /> I have a Skagen very similar to yours!! I really like the Fossil watches you showed better than the Swatch ones. I have a peugeot white ceramic one I bought recently and a seiko multitone gold watch. Both have oversize faces and I adore them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thinking-about-updating-my-watch#post-563089 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 15:27:34 +0000 Astrid 563089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My current watch is this one <a href="http://www.amazon.de/Skagen-Damenarmbanduhr-Slimline-Stahl-233XSSS/dp/B0002UD438/ref=sr_1_12?s=watch&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1331392524&#038;sr=1-12" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.de/Skagen-Da.....38;sr=1-12</a>, only with a light blue mother of pearl clock face instead of white. Very slim and delicate, like you can see in pic #1. I've had it since 2004 and wore it everyday - I'm Team Watch, I need to wear one. I really like it but I think it's time for a bit of a change.</p> <p>I'm not really sure what to look for though. I know that many prefer oversized watches, I'm just not sure if I would be comfortable with so 'much' watch after wearing this delicate one all the time. </p> <p>I've found this Fossil watch that I liked (in both colors):<br /> <a href="http://s7ondemand7.scene7.com/is/image/FossilPartners/ES2995_main?$fossilResponsive_pdpdetail$" rel="nofollow">http://s7ondemand7.scene7.com/.....pdpdetail$</a><br /> <a href="http://s7ondemand7.scene7.com/is/image/FossilPartners/ES2997_main?$fossilResponsive_pdpdetail$" rel="nofollow">http://s7ondemand7.scene7.com/.....pdpdetail$</a></p> <p>Or maybe an oversized swatch? These would be less than half the price of the Fossil watch above.<br /> <a href="http://www.swatch.com/zz_en/watches/fw2011_newgent.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.swatch.com/zz_en/wa.....wgent.html</a></p> <p>What do you think? Any ideas what could work well with my style? </p>
