I am trying to decide on a watch right now. I am not sure if I should save up for a trendy Coach watch or buy this affordable, but pretty cool DKNY one.

So I got to thinking

What are the fly ladies of CC wearing on their perty lil' wrists?

Honestly, I like the "affordable, but pretty cool DKNY" watch better!

I don't have a picture of my watch but it is a double face watch that my mother got me when I was living in New Zealand (in hopes that I would keep up with American time and not call her in the middle of the night).

I tried taking a pic of my own watch but glare kept coming up. Soooo i went to the next best thing...finding it online..ha ha. Its a Jennifer Lopez watch...i was always a fossil gal but when i saw this one i just fell in love. It was my 2004 Christmas gift. Mine is the silver toned one.

When I wear a watch, I wear this one:

It is trendy and fun and I love it.

sportyj~Thanks.... its funny cause when i first wore it to work...everyone who asked what time it was didn't know about my watch and they would ask me and when i pulled up my arm to check they were like.."Omg check out the Bling! Bling Ms. Noemi has!" lol I've never been into things like that but something about it just made me like it a lot. And now she has it in two toned!!! i love two toned.

This was my law school graduation present/splurge:

Love it!

I also had a very simple Fossil that I wore for many years that I loved, too. I prefer metal bracelet watches as I find the leather wears out easily if you're a frequent hand-washer.

When I'm in the gym I wear an older model Timex Ironman (couldn't find a picture online). When I'm not in the gym I wear, http://www.fossil.com/images/us/local/products/detail/AM3756.jpg the only difference is that mine has a teal/blue face.

This is mine I got for college graduation, and go figure, it's on Overstock;). My dad got it overseas in Singapore I believe. Tag Heuer, 6000 series, gold and stainless steel. I wear it every day, it's a great watch. The crystal never scratches since the dial around it is raised. I have to get it cleaned/new battery every couple years, so it's not as high-maintenance as some other high-end brands that-shall-not-be-named:D.

Actually, since Rolex is mechanical, there is no battery to change so I wouldn't call it high-maintenance :) It should be lubricated every 5 years or so (as every watch should), but that's about it. And even without a raised dial, it has a sapphire crystal face so it won't scratch.

Oh, I was just teasing. I know people that have had tons of trouble w/ their Rolexes keeping proper time, but my mom's has been fine (apart from the time she was without it for a year after the jewelry store it was being cleaned at was raided by the feds, but that's another story). She just is vigilant about cleaning it once a year due to the perpetual motion. Isn't that what's recommended?

Is it a good brand? I've never heard of it!? The watch is fairly expensive so I assumed so, at lesat on the same lines of Fossil!?

I ended up getting a VERY cool Guess watch on CLEARANCE!@ I am still game for a really nice watch, I will have to take pics I cannot find it online.

The watch I really wanted looks terrible on me, I guess I have to wear a square face. I love this one, what is the ballpark cost of ESQ?

My hubby just got me this cool Nixon Baretta for my birthday
http://www.nixonnow.com/prod_images/10815-testing.gif

It has 3 different bands, so I can totally change the look based upon my outfit and mood. The silver one is the best, it looks like a big chunky bracelet. Really fun and different.

I wear a Coach silver tank watch every day--it was my wedding gift from DH. It's similar to this one, but is an older model with black hands, not blue:

I would love to have the classic Cartier tank

http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B000681JK6.01-A1EK89CMFYAS1X._SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg

But I'd like mine in gold/steel not just steel.

Mine, too, is different. It's also SUPER comfortable!

I have a plain two-tone one that I wear on dressier occasions, but I really don't like it. It looks like every other watch. I just have some occasions I don't feel call for a plastic, digital watch. I do love it, though!

I just got this watch from my fiance a couple weeks ago (delayed Xmas gift):

http://www.tissot.ch/dyn.php?gs=showrefimage&ref=T34_1_281_32

(Mine has a dark blue face though.) I like my watches simple and normally prefer the look of men's watches, so the lack of numbers/decorative features and the big face (it looks larger on my teeny tiny wrist) are perfect for me.
