I just need convincing that it is OKAY to spend this much on this watch....

[FriggFRIGG]

What do you think?
I'm having a bit of a panic after DP made a face and said no one wears watches anymore
but I'm always running late for preschool etc,I'm about to start a new job,i always forget my mobile or am forging about for it in my bag for the time.
I've been pondering a watch for a while and ive finally found one I like...

Anyhoo,here it is what do you lot reckon?

It's £75! Thought is was going to be a couple of thousand! It's fine. Buy it if you like it and can afford it.

Really lovely. To be honest, when I saw it (purposely didn't look at the price so I could take a guess) I thought it was about gbp120. So bargain!
It's not too girly but its sophisticated. Bought a cool fossil purse this week that would match that perfectly!

I don't think that's a lot of money to spend on a watch at all. And everyone I know still wears a watch.

Very nice!

That's beautiful (but also says it's out of stock?).

I have just started wearing a watch again - a Skagen one. I got mine off ebay, a discontinued model I think for about £40, but had also got one off QVC for £125 (returned that one) - so no, I think you should go for it!

I mean that before I clicked on the link I thought you were going to be buying an expensive watch like an omega or a Rolex. I didn't think a fossil watch would cost a couple of thousand!

Buy it! I wear a watch, but mine was £6 from a charity shop. Like you, I got sick of rooting in my bag for the phone, just to check the time.

Plain , simple , not flashy and tells the time .
What's the problem ?

It's only £75! That is really not a lot to spend!

Get it, it's lovely! I had a new watch for my birthday last year which was expensive (for me) but don't regret it.

£75 is fine.

I don't wear a watch uch but I never had; I buy them and then never wear them, much to DH's frustration. I ended up losing a Gucci one that cost me over £300 - oops!

DH is looking at watches at the moment as wants a new one for his 40th next year - they are a few thousand. His current one cost a couple of thousand and is in perfect working order, but he wants another one. DH never goes a dat without wearing his.

Definitely buy it - it's pretty inexpensive anyway (and a v. nice design), but particularly if you consider how much you can spend on a watch (try researching Franck Muller or Harry Winston).

Mind you, I'm biased, not only do I wear a watch every day, I have a 'dress watch' for smart evenings out too.

That's not expensive at all. I also thought you were going to link a watch that was a grand.

Have also bookmarked it myself as I thinks it's lovely and might indulge myself at the end of the month

I love that watch. Swap ya for my Citizen Eco Drive? It tells you the date...

oh goody,it seems the watch I adore is also cheap! And has passed the s&b check!

Hooray!

Not cheap - inexpensive!

Ah,yes,sorry....

God, I thought you were going to say £5000.

Nice watch btw.

Ahh!!
I just bought it

RubyRubyRuby thankyou for that link,'twas cheaper,they take PayPal,and it's free next day delivery

Thanks all,I am now content in the knowledge that you all approve, and it's a totally sensible amount of money to spend

I too assumed you were going to link to something costing a couple of grand
Is it just psychological so we all come on and say "that's cheap"?

Like most things, if you've got the money, then go for it. If £75 means there's no food on the table next week, then possible it is a bit much to spend.

you paid HOW MUCH?????

It's just my PayPal balance,which doesn't affect our outgoings at all,just money I've made from selling etc...normaly I spend it on sensible things,like the DC shoes clothes etc,but they don't need anything,none of us needs anything....and I start my new job next week so our income is going up!

I'm so exited!

Ninah..... really,too much?!!
