New Womans Watch for Everyday use

Hi

Looking to buy a womans watch for everyday use. Budget is €100 ish as was told not to go overboard as already have on gift:)

So something for wear around the office and for everyday use also. Previous watch was a Fossil and seen some online even smartwatches that look ok.

Anyone any recommendations and any online or brick and mortar shops to get them.

Cheers

I think a quartz watch is preferred by the ladies, easier to grab and go vs an automatic which would need resetting if it wasn't worn every day.

Going by what a lot of women wear these days, the priority isn't telling the time, it's counting steps.

+1 avoid clockwork, automatic/handwinding like the plague. The woman's market never got into the mechanical has soul thing. Though at a 100 quid you're not likely to be in the wind it up watch end so there's that.

What's her general style? I always liked Tank style watches more than round in the woman's watch end of things.

Here's a Citizen kinda in that style for under a 100 quid in Argos.

Why not a Casio Baby-G?

Tough as nails, will stand up to a lot of abuse and timeless.

I have a few Fossil watches. Great value at their store in Kildare Village. Also Watch Station and the MK shop there have some lovely ones.

Like to get down to the village but bit out of the way and she want to know why we are heading there.. She's not a fan..

Saw this and it counts steps looks okay. Strap not the best but that can be changed. Any good online watch shops

Go with this one. I bought Mrs Cube a nice automatic for Christmas two years ago and she was not impressed. I brought it back and bought her a MK in pretty much the same style as this one and kept the €350 refund and bought another Steinhart.

She loves the MK and wears it every day :rolleyes:
