I apparently broke my watch today at work and now I'm searching for a new one. But, I don't want to buy one at Walmart (I know, I'm such a bad employee!
)...so I've been searching the Internet for one.

What kind of watch is the best kind? I've noticed that a lot of people are wearing Fossil watches, but I can't find one that I really like.

So, what kind of watch do you have and where did you buy it?
Thanks...sorry, for the dumb question!

I was thinking the same thing too Shell - I haven't worn a watch for years, never have liked wearing them, but I do need to get one. I really liked the ones I saw at kmart - they have smiley faces in place of their face - I LOVE smiley faces - have always liked them.

For some reason Kellye, a smilie face watch fits you perfectly!


For myself though, I need something casual but yet can be dressy...stylish too. See? I can't find anything that fits all of those in one!

Just clicked on Ebay...
Who in the world (beside Celebrities and Millionares) would buy a Rolex? My God...they want $2000 for a stinkin' watch!
That is wayyyyyyyy outta my price range!

LOL out of mine too!!!!

My own preference is for a cheaper watch that looks cool and will last about a year or so. You can always replace the battery if you want it to last longer.

I have a nice simple Seiko my Dad bought for me and my sis-in-law one year for Christmas. It's got a plain face, and the band is silver and gold, so it goes with everything. I just need to get off my lazy backside and get a new battery for it...

At the very most, I will spend up to $70 but prefer to spend much less than that. I don't mind spending a little more money on good quality. That is one reason why I'm not buying mine at Walmart. The past 3 watches have been purchased there and they last me 2 years max...the original battery is still good, but the watch fell apart.

Anyone know if Fossil is a good brand? I've never owned one, so I don't know if it's a good investment.

I get my watches from Avon, my latest watch happens to be one with Elvis Presley on the face of it (I am an Elvis fan and collector), but I have had it for 2 yrs now and it still works, I have never replaced the batteries yet!

It's a really pretty watch. I just personally like smaller bands-I have very small wrists, and so look for smaller bands. And, it seems a little busy-what do all the markings on the outside band mean?

I think it's the second's markings. Since there is 60 seconds in a minute and around that circle it goes up to 60...I'm just assuming though. Kind of dumb if thats the case...since that's a no brainer.

It is a bigger watch, but I've got big wrists & larger hands. I've definitely got basketball player hands! Too bad I never liked to play that game!

I like it but I think you should get a more feminine one
