I'm pretty sure for my birthday this year I'd like a watch. It's more for fashion jewelry purposes, so my budget is around $200. I originally wanted a rose gold watch (although I mostly wear silver and/or white gold), but now I'm not so sure. I found two options at Macy's that I really like. Can you please tell me your opinion, and if possible give me some other suggestions that I can check out? Thanks!

Two are Karl Lagerfeld in different colors, and the rose gold one is Betsey Johnson. I know it's a bit gaudy, but for some reason I'm just drawn to it.

Oh and also, I usually don't wear much jewelry at all. Daily, I wear diamond studs, my diamond engagement ring, and occasionally a small silver heart necklace, or diamond necklace. To work I usually just forgo the necklace. I would most likely not wear this watch with a fancy outfit since I tend to wear diamond bracelets when I dress up.

I like the middle KL watch, it's edgy and quirky but you'll be able to wear it the most because of the colouring.

i'm not a fan of the betsy watch, I have a feeling those crystals would get tiresome after a while :)
 
all black
I think it's the most neutral. also for me, I think I'd get less tired of looking at it. and I'd be afraid the rose gold would look too fake or gaudy.
 
if the first and second both are the same size, I'd go for first one. The face color gives some nice contrast with the spike link. If not, I'd go for the one in the middle because it's bigger, suits the spikes better.
 
Thank you for all your help ladies. I went to the mall today with my grandmother and she ended up buying me a watch for my birthday. Once I was there in person I ended up making a very different decision, although I did try on almost every watch I had looked at online. I totally love my choice.
