MNSara: I like the Fossil watch best, but I'm a bit biased because I've had my eye on it, contemplating purchasing it, for a while. (Or if it's not that exact watch, it's one that is very similar.) How does it feel to you?

Well, I so appreciate all your input and thoughts. Scarlet, I do like the date feature. Laura, I saw the EA watch during NAS, but it didn't sing to me

For those who commented on my 'dainty' wrists - it must be an optical illusion because they are not dainty (except maybe in contrast to my large hands!), but thank you for the kind words But just maybe these oversized watches help make them look dainty . . hmmm. . .?

Anyway, taking the second round of pics in the sunlight helped me decide that I prefer the MK watch by a hair (or two). I like the almost total whiteness (good point, Joy), and the overall design is more standard/classic (better flow, right? randomthoughts and shana) like my other watches that I have continued to enjoy.

I certainly like the Fossil one too, or I wouldn't have labored over this so much. I really love the way there is no one perfect item and I love to hear the variety of thoughts on choosing. I need to learn these lessons myself, and how to work through these sort of decisions well (not just on a whim or mood).

Thank you
