Need a new watch as old one broke and not worth £ to repair. I like chunky/masculine style and silver or rose gold metal straps rather than leather - around the £150 mark. Any suggestions?

I love citizen ecodrive watches. Lots of different styles to choose from and around the right price. Worth checking amazon for bargains.

I have a Mondial watch with a red leather strap.

BlueEyedWonder · 25/12/2017 22:50

I meant to add they also do them with metal straps!

Blueeye, do you mean mondaine?
OP, you are looking for a mondaine watch, Swiss made, beautiful. So many compliments! And h Samuel sell them and sometimes you can Google 20% offers.

I love my Rose gold DKNY watch, a 40th birthday present from Ernest Jones

Thank you for all these suggestions...liking the Eco Drive (but reviews about how easily the watch faces scratch bit worrying) and the Mondaine's simple style really appeals! Wonder if man's one would be too chunky - might try and head to town to try some on.

I love the simplicity of my Shore Projects one, they come in different metals and there are loads of straps to chose from. The straps are interchangeable and I have amassed a collection so I don't get bored of the same watch - here: www.shoreprojects.com/

My ex bought me an Eco drive 16 years ago and it's still going strong and looks brand new.
It's not really my style though. I've just picked up a lovely Olivia Burton watch in the John Lewis style. They might fit your bill, have a look at them - lots of rose gold and silver options.

I have this one. Got it for xmas 3 years ago and it's lovely. But tbh now I mainly wear a Fitbit instead.

I’ve had my ecodrive for 4 years, wear it every day. I love it.

I love Skagen watches. Beautifully simple. I have 2 of them.

I have this Tissot one which was my 30th birthday present from my parents last year and I love it. The two tone is really very subtle, not as obvious as it looks on the pics online. I made a conscious decision to go for a proper watch brand rather than a fashion brand as I think you get better quality www.watchshop.com/ladies-tissot-pr100-watch-t0492101101700-p99945612.html?utm_source=froogle&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=shoppingfeeds&source=froogle&nst=0&gclid=CjwKCAiApo3SBRA4EiwAty8i-h0WUFxx6TFuY-EzDj2rU7VEQUeXKL2EQ8t1f5LjpRbI4L2WG3VGChoCZPwQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
