I am tempted to get this too.....it's quite pretty!Hello SmokieDragon, I have 2 alhambra watches. I like them because they are jewelry timepieces that can be worn when I dress up or down. They give off a different aura from my other automatic watches. I find them youthful, fun and elegant-looking. Here is a photo of my turquoise alhambra watch. I don’t have issue in looking at the time on the alhambra watches. I normally can tell the time by the appropriate positions of the hands on the dial face, whether the watches have markers or not.
Hope you will get yours soon.

Get it! Get it!
The turquoise alhambra watch can pair with your other turquoise VCA pieces beautifully.
It looks great on you! The time isn't hard to read at all. I have it in TQ and I LOVE it! I wear it dressed up or down. It's very versatile and it comes with 2 band colors that make it fun to coordinate with outfits. The time is set by a button on the back of the watch that you hold down and let go when you reach the correct time. The only con (very minor) I have is that rarely, I find that I may press it inadvertently when doing something and it may move the time a few minutes ahead. The band is thicker and stiffer next to the dial, I believe, to help avoid that from happening. I am also considering getting it in Lapis.
You'll love it!

Thanks so much for sharing your experience! On the whole, I find the strap very stiff so hope that won’t happen to me! Lapis sounds great too!
The watch is now on hold for me. I found myself at the mall earlier today and decided to try on the watch again. However, my SA was really busy and I also told her I needed to think a little more about it. Hence, she suggested putting it on reserve while I get to being 100% sure! Now the question in my head is what colour should my second strap be?
Here are the strap colours. The watch comes with a navy strap so that leaves 6 colour possibilities for the 2nd strap.
The SA said not to take the lighter blue and black. Then we agreed white will become cream one day. So that leaves the dark red, red and pink. The SA is recommending the red
Red is very pretty
The white will look fresh in summer

Your watch is so beautiful! I am also thinking about getting the same watch. Do you wear it everyday? I am worried about damaging them too much since I can be pretty rough with my hand movements.
I think it looks beautiful on you. I just got mine a couple of months ago and I love it! I was hesitant to get a quartz as well as all of my other watches are automatic. The battery needs replacing every 3 or so years (there is a sticker at the back that tells you when to replace) and with lifetime complementary, so all good for me. My eyesight is also pretty poor and it took time to adjust to telling time
Let us know which one you ended up getting!
Thanks dear!
Not everyday, but maybe once a week. I rotate it with my other watches.
I am not careful with it and so far, so good!
Can’t wait to see yours!
Looks like I have to get one! I am hoping to wear it daily or frequently. It’s like getting bracelet and watch in 1 piece.
Been wearing my watch for the last couple of days to the office, since getting it over the weekend. I’m mesmerized by it! For a 23 by 23 mm watch, it certainly has a lot of presence and it makes me incredibly happy to see it on my wrist!
