At least they look medium vs really big which my tiny wrists can’t wear. The gold looks quite yellow, and there’s a number of highly embellished ones but maybe that’s a characteristic of the particular brand. Nearly all the watch faces are round vs square or rectangular. Can you tell I collect watches? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-looks-current-in-womens-watches/page/2#post-2004079 Tue, 19 Feb 2019 22:44:13 +0000 elpgal 2004079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Robin.

I have one that must be 10 years old now (I skipped the BF watch thing) and still love it - it's very similar to LaPed's but has a few hints of gold so I can wear it with either jewellery colour. I usually wear my Fitbit Versa though - clunky but functional </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-looks-current-in-womens-watches/page/2#post-2003991 Tue, 19 Feb 2019 16:09:03 +0000 Janet 2003991@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't see watches really looking dated unless they really scream a trend. I think they are more a personal style choice than anything. I particularly like double-wrap watches these days, and I have two -- the black one here in my Finds and a lovely navy blue band Hermes that was a gift from my husband.&nbsp;</p> <p>I really enjoy my two rose-gold watches, one with a fairly subtle mixed-metal effect floral detail, and the other a stone-look face and grey band.&nbsp;</p> <p>I also have a smaller profile, dressy mixed-metal Skagen that I will sometimes wear for dressy events.&nbsp;</p> <p>And then there is an ancient black leather strap and mother of pearl face watch I bought in Switzerland when I was about 26. I still love it and wear it when I wear gold since it has some gold in it. To my eye it is timeless. </p> <p>But my old standbys are my Philip Stein watches, especially the dual-face one as it's my travel watch. Unfortunately, both need new batteries right now, and the dual one needs to have the crystal replaced. The store where these were purchased no longer carries Philip Stein, so having them serviced there will take a long time. I'm looking into other options to have these watches fixed. I have several leather bands in a variety of colors/textures -- white, silver, black croc, teal -- so I can change out bands easily on these watches for a variety of looks.&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-looks-current-in-womens-watches/page/2#post-2003990 Tue, 19 Feb 2019 16:08:25 +0000 bj1111 2003990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>it's not dated, it's your signature.</p> <p>also, i've stopped wearing watches.&nbsp; my phone is my ride-or-die accessory. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-looks-current-in-womens-watches/page/2#post-2003986 Tue, 19 Feb 2019 15:36:40 +0000 April 2003986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I may be the only person left who actively dislikes devices that track me in any way.&nbsp; :)</p> <p>Suz, that DKNY watch is very much like my Fossil bf watch.</p> <p>Glad to hear that big watches are still beloved.&nbsp; I do love mine, was just worried that it was starting to scream "TEN YEARS OLD."&nbsp; Not 50 years, which would be cool, or 100 years, which would be even cooler, but just old enough to look dated. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-looks-current-in-womens-watches/page/2#post-2003947 Tue, 19 Feb 2019 13:59:20 +0000 Anonymous 2003947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the Ted Baker ones, but I thought there was some issue about harassment in the company </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-looks-current-in-womens-watches/page/2#post-2003941 Tue, 19 Feb 2019 13:41:57 +0000 RobinF 2003941@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hybrid watch - you don't need to have your phone on you to track steps but you need the app to see the information. It's pretty cool actually, it tracks sleep and steps and then has some programmable buttons, like I have one set to track how much water I drink. You can also get notifications for certain calls or texts, although the vibration is a bit too faint to always notice it. It doesn't do as much as a Fitbit or Apple watch but all I really wanted was a step counter and it does that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-looks-current-in-womens-watches/page/2#post-2003880 Tue, 19 Feb 2019 05:04:55 +0000 featherwitch 2003880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The women's watches I've seen recently are smaller than they have been in the past few years, rose gold (already mentioned here), and still pretty traditional-looking.&nbsp;</p> <p>I've been wearing a "boyfriend"-ish ladies dive watch, but I love it anyway. It's a 36 mm case, which isn't that big on my wrist, and the diamonds make it classy without being over the top. I wear it with a business suit, jeans and a sweater, and my very casual attire, and have never felt out of place. The only time I wouldn't wear it is with a special occasion dress.&nbsp;<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.ablogtowatch.com/oris-aquis-date-diamonds-my-daughters-future-self/">https://www.ablogtowatch.com/o.....ture-self/</a></p> <p>These from Tissot caught my eye. Again, still pretty masculine looking, and some vintage Rolex lines if you ask me.&nbsp;<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.tissotwatches.com/en-en/shop/t1019101103600.html">https://www.tissotwatches.com/.....03600.html</a></p> <p>I also love these art decos from Frederique Constant. Much more feminine.&nbsp;<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://frederiqueconstant.com/news/frederique-constant-art-deco-come-back-to-celebrate-2019/">https://frederiqueconstant.com.....rate-2019/</a></p> <p>I also lust after a Cartier tank-style. These are not current. But I like vintage styles.

I'm visiting with my brother, who has a new passion for vintage mechanical watches. We got to talking and although I'm collecting the modern quartz versions here, it's a result of his obsession! :)&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm wearing this DKNY one that Angie used to have. I love it. I guess it qualifies as a BF watch? I don't know, really. It's big on me -- on the upper end. Like Roberta -- my sweet spot for face size is probably 30 to 34 mm. Bigger is impossible on me. Too much smaller and it doesn't feel like it has enough presence.&nbsp;</p> <p>I like silver but could mix with rose gold or colours/ grey/ black, etc.&nbsp;</p> <p>I have no idea what's trending but I love something simple, classic.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm definitely in the market for a new companion watch to this one. I love wearing a watch -- it's a signature piece for me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-looks-current-in-womens-watches/page/2#post-2003856 Tue, 19 Feb 2019 03:09:38 +0000 unfrumped 2003856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I said once before that I saw some Nixon watches I thought were really great, but I couldn’t get past the name! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-looks-current-in-womens-watches/page/2#post-2003820 Tue, 19 Feb 2019 01:12:38 +0000 taylor 2003820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I still like the big watches.

You gals have completely changed my world. I am off to explore some! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-looks-current-in-womens-watches#post-2003769 Mon, 18 Feb 2019 19:36:00 +0000 The Cat 2003769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>High five to La Pedestrienne! My new watch, bought in December 2018, looks pretty much like the one shown by La P., but, like hers (as told in her comment) has a BLACK face. Mine is from Daniel Wellington. </p> <p>I am very pleased with this choice. My watch looks simple, elegant, current, timeless, goes with anything I wear, harmonizes with my colouring and proportions, and adds a touch of style to any outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-looks-current-in-womens-watches#post-2003762 Mon, 18 Feb 2019 19:11:38 +0000 nemosmom 2003762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have two character watches, Snoopy and Pooh. For me, fun &gt; fashion where watches are concerned. I have a navy leather wrap Shinola one, but it rarely gets worn. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-looks-current-in-womens-watches#post-2003758 Mon, 18 Feb 2019 18:48:38 +0000 April 2003758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LP -- I ordered that Skagen watch literally this morning.&nbsp; :)</p> <p>We'll see how it looks IRL.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Anyone with an idea to share, happy to hear about in case the Skagen doesn't work out.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-looks-current-in-womens-watches#post-2003751 Mon, 18 Feb 2019 17:43:07 +0000 Dana 2003751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a great reminder that I need a new watch! I have a Skagen that I love, but the gold is just too worn off the band to wear. I feel like the Boyfriend watches aren't quite as much the thing anymore, but if it's your personal style, it still works, if that makes sense. I think with watches, unless you want a whole wardrobe of them, you have to choose something that feels like it's really part of YOU.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-looks-current-in-womens-watches#post-2003745 Mon, 18 Feb 2019 17:22:59 +0000 LaPed 2003745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I took a break from watches for many years, but started wearing one again this past fall for teaching outdoor classes. Nice for indoor school too, where the clocks are ALWAYS out of sync from one room to another! I have the plain-jane version of Robin's Skagen smartwatch. Unlike the Find below, mine is stainless with black rather than white. I contemplated a similar version, black and rose gold, but worried I'd get tired of the rose gold and that it wouldn't match any of my tiny jewelry collection. I have no idea what's trending for watches; I just wanted something that's simple, goes with everything, will last a long time, etc. I do like the floral watches I've seen, and if I get another watch it will be a Swatch with a cute pattern. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-looks-current-in-womens-watches#post-2003721 Mon, 18 Feb 2019 14:24:35 +0000 RobinF 2003721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I recently bought this hybrid smartwatch - looks like a normal watch but does a few smart things like count steps and sleep. I love it. Although it is a little bigger than I usually like it still fits nicely. The find is rose gold but I found it in gold. There is a silver version too but the face of that is black and I wanted a white face. Not sure there is an "in-style" and "out of style" in watches though?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-looks-current-in-womens-watches#post-2003712 Mon, 18 Feb 2019 13:27:28 +0000 April 2003712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for these ideas!</p> <p>I prefer silver on me to gold or rose gold.&nbsp; I much prefer wearing a watch to looking at my phone.&nbsp; Like Lisa P, I love a simple face with few extras.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>With these suggestions in mind, off to see what I can unearth. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-looks-current-in-womens-watches#post-2003659 Mon, 18 Feb 2019 04:55:49 +0000 annagybe 2003659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like my Shinola.

An Australian brand so prob not available to you April. I did look for perhaps at least a year then got it on a Black Friday sale. I still do wear my older 1995 Pulsar many days as well. I am not sporty and don't want a watch telling me off! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-looks-current-in-womens-watches#post-2003637 Mon, 18 Feb 2019 02:27:43 +0000 Roberta 2003637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm very fond of watches and have a wardrobe of them. What looks most attractive to my eye these days is a rectangular or square face that is fairly thin. Almost a 40s menswear look. There is a lot of rose gold out there, much nicer than in previous years. I think the rose gold bezel is very pretty with a navy or dark green leather band, too. I have a sweet spot in size, 30 to 34mm. Brands I like are Nixon, Rosefield, and Breda, plus the classic Fossil, Tissot, and Skagen. But i already have four Skagens. The Fossil Idealist line is a handsome combo of square and round in the same face.<br /> And I just discovered Shore Projects, which have elegant flat minute and hour hands.</p> <p>I spend a long time considering the style, and then watch for a sale. I have bought quite few watches on Amazon or EBay at great prices. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-looks-current-in-womens-watches#post-2003621 Mon, 18 Feb 2019 00:57:54 +0000 Lucy 2003621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting! I always need a watch, as it's not a good thing to keep looking at your phone while teaching :)&nbsp;<br />I have a rose gold Skagen which I love&nbsp; - it's probably about a year old. It's not a BF watch, but not tiny either. I'm going to get a silver watch for my birthday, so I too am on the lookout...<br />I've seen some cool deep cobalt blue watches about which I kinda like.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
