Rose gold watch?

Do any of you have a rose gold watch? I've been looking at the Michael kors one but it is pricey and I prefer small and elegant. I do need something waterproof and MK fits the bill that way. Any ideas?

I had one of the Michael Kors ones and it was rubbish quality for the price - and surprisingly heavy. One of the pins broke in the strap after only about 6 months of light wear, so I ditched it.

I've got one from Olivia Burton now which was more reasonable - rose gold face and navy leather strap which I love.

Gucci watches are much nicer than Micheal Kors and not that much more expensive. Good quality and they do rose gold

Sorry I missed the waterproof bit. It's only splash
Roof I think

I absolutely love my beautiful Olivia Burton which was a gift, not sure whether it's waterproof though?

Great suggestions thanks. I think I need to go into store to see them first. Any idea which highstore shop stocks the most brands? I want to see skagen, MK and Olivia Burton

@Lucked thanks for the heads up on secretsales. It is at a very good price on there!

Just a warning about the skagen one - I have it and the chain links bend very easily, I sat on it and it’s bent already

Also has gone dirty very quickly and the colour faded somewhat

@ShirleyPhallus thanks for letting me know. The MK mini one has a 2 year warranty so feels like a safer bet?

I’ve got a lovely Marc Jacobs’s one that’s a perfect size for my tiny wrists

Fossil make the watches for MK, Marc by Marc Jacobs, DKNY and many other fashion watch brands. A MK watch is basically the same style with another £100 whacked on it. When I bought my Fossil Cecile it was identical to a MK Bradshaw and the rose gold wore off in 6 months so it's just gold now. Take from that what you will!

I had a Michael kors rose gold one. It was gorgeous, I loved it, I got so many compliments on it, even from strangers on the street. However, like a previous poster, one of the pins fell out after a few months and also the rose gold plating started to wear off after about twelve months. It cost over £200 so expected it to be of better quality. I've got another mk one now in stainless silver, two years in and it's doing fine. The Olivia burton rose gold watches are stunning. Two friends have them and love them.

To those of you whose Michael kors watch ran colpur or broke, was it not eligible under warranty for a replacement?

I’ve had my mini Bradshaw from MK for a couple of years now and it’s doing fine. People admire it often (even men).
