I know nothing about watches except for the fact that I need one. I was at the Nordstrom sale (which was amazing!) and happened upon this watch and bought it because I knew that if I waited it wouldn't be there the next day. It normally retails for $395 but during the sale was $264. I love the way it looks but am wondering if I paid too much for a watch that isn't really made by a brand that specializes in watches or if I could get a better watch for my price range. I won't spend more than around $275 for a watch because I'm a nurse and don't want to have a watch that I couldn't stand wearing to work (which can be a pretty gross place).

Here is a close up:

I absolutely love that watch and have considered buying it every time I see it on sale. The only reason I haven't bought it is that I don't need another watch. I think it's a gorgeous watch and especially love the uniqueness of the band.

I like it, keep it! It goes great with your rings and it´s a classic model that you can use for several years.

It's a beautiful watch and looks great on you. I wouldn't worry about watch branding for a quartz watch (no worries about servicing). Wear what you love!

It looks really nice I would keep it.

I love it! For sure keep it!

butterfly36029 · Jul 19th, 2009, 11:14 PM

keep it, I agree it looks good with your rings too!

I have this watch but paid full price for it (boo). I love it! Love the band and how the face is slightly larger than average.

NurseAnn · Jul 20th, 2009, 11:17 AM

Thank you for all the responses! I've definately decided to keep it after all of your positive response. You guys even answered a question I hadn't asked, which was whether or not it looked good with my rings. I love you TPF ladies!

Glad you're keeping it...it's a really nice watch for the price.

Those are exactly the words I wanted to hear! Thank you!

I´m so glad that you are keeping it :)

You made the right decision!
I got mine (with pink face) from my DH few years ago.
I love it so much and it still looks so classic now!

Enjoy your beauty!
