Anyone seen or got a stylish watch that suits skinny wrists?

My watch died a death a few weeks ago, and it's my birthday soon.

I've been trawling for a new one but there are so many...

Has anyone got any recommendations for an stylish everyday watch that suits skinny wrists? Big watches look very silly on me, much as I like them.

I have a links watch which looks great and very delicate.

Thanks, I just had a browse and they've got some lovely ones. A bit over budget though Sad

Any other ideas? I don't know where to start, the internet is awash with watches!

See I think those of us with skinny wrists can ROCK a chunky watch

Really? Have you got one?

I have skinny wrists I rock a large round watch I have to have leather straps so they can be altered to fit

I have a Fossil one, with large square silver face and brown leather strap. It might be mans watch actually. I remember reading Trinny an Susannah saying that small boned people should wear OTT jewellery, looks miles better

Yep - I have very skinny wrists and wear a watch with a large round face so I can see it and leather strap.

I've had nothing but problems with link watches as they never fit properly.

I have this

I love it, and it is infinitely adjustable :)

Oh! DD has a lovely Fossil one she never wears (not cool enough for a teen, apparently). Had never even thought of pinching it as it is quite large, but perhaps I should. Specially as Trinny & Susannah say so.

Like yours too Nagoo, v nice.

My DH has just bought me a fossil watch for my bday - I am fine of wrist (about the only thin bit of me) and I went for the smaller version as the big ones swamped my wrists and hands (yup, stupidly small too).

There are some gorgeous watches on the fossil site! Will find my perfect one there, I'm sure.
