Chanel J12 alternative

[shoes319]

You might check e-bay too - I had a Michele I sent off to a reseller but not sure if it's listed or not....it was a great alternative to the Chanel!

I think the ToyWatch or Fossil options are the best for you if you really want the J12 look.

Could you please tell me the movement used for Fossil and ToyWatch?

Many thanks,

Fossil watches are really great for the price. I've put mine through the washing machine about 3 times accidentally and it's still good as new. Not sure what movement they use though.

When I got my watch battery replaced, the repairman said that most Fossil watches use Chinese movements from a company called Tianjin. According to Wikipedia, Tianjin is responsible for over 25% of the quartz movements on the watch market.

Hi, thank you for all the information on Fossil, they seem to be really strong.

Which one out of these 3 do you like best.

i like the second one and the toywatch with crystal bezel..those two are the closest to j12 look.

i have a old fossil watch and its really hard wearing. after seeing pics of the stella i def want one of those. its fun with some bling-and fossil is very hrdwearing-i wear mine for work often.

i have a toywatch in teal and tho its a fab statment watch i do hav to be careful as i worry bout scratching the plastic- am quite careless.

i have a tag for work and cartier for formal occasions. my fossil and toywatchs are my fun go to watchs. i think the stella is a fab watch and seems the best from looks, durability and price point.

the ingersol and storm ones don't looks as nice- the straps r not doing it for me..

I agree about the straps. The Fossil one looks more robust in design compared to the ToyWatch.

Does your Fossil watch have crystals around the outside, as I bought a watch a few years back now and the crystals fell out, I'd hate the same thing to happen to this one.

In terms of style which would you get the Fossil or ToyWatch?
Many thanks,

I like the Fossil the best

 

[ahertz]

^^ I agree with beljwl. I think the Fossil is the most attractive of the bunch.

 

[euroaddict]

Even with the narrowing, I still like the Fossil the best. It's the most reminiscent of the J12 and cleanest looking of the bunch.

Sometimes I should just stay out of threads, I'm going to have to buy that Fossil one, I love it!

--I like the first and second ones

if I had to choose one, I think I would say the first one; but both are nice. It depends if you want the chronograph, busy dial.
