A nice watch?

[DorisDays]

Want to buy a nice and not too expensive watch but not keen on the branded ones I see in town (Radley, Jasper Conran etc). Any ideas where I can get a nice not-on-the-high-street watch? And I tried 'not on the high street' just incase anybody suggests it :-) Budget circa £100-130

I like fossil watches as they have different styles - loads on Amazon to browse through.

I have developed a love for Olivia burton watches

She has quite plain ones through to quite floral but one of her themes is bees which i love!

Was just going to say Olivia Burton watches, they are really lovely, I was lucky enough to be given one for a recent significant birthday.

I got a Fossil watch for my birthday last year - I ❤️ it!

I also recommend Olivia Burton. I have a plain black one which looks a lot pricier than it was. Lots of lovely designs if you want something quirkier but I love the plain black face/gold markings.

Olivia Burton rings a bell - I'll have another look!

I love my skagen

Daniel wellington. I now have two. Some beautiful understated designs that aren't too expensive for my everyday wear. And you can swap the straps

Fossil.

Daniel Wellington here, lovely tan leather strap and they are interchangeable too

Ooh I do like the cobra and Bellamy ones @secretsciurusvulgaris

Skagen here too. Simple silver and gold, a real classic and never bores me to look at but not too blingy or tacky.

Skagen here too.

I got a Cluse for Christmas but wouldn't recommend it as it scratched within weeks of normal wear and looks a mess now but I can't justify a new one yet.

Oh I’ve fallen in love with the cobra and Bellamy ones after reading this! They’ve discontinued the one I want though. Boo!

I recently bought a Lilienthal watch. They are very unfussy, large face, choice of leather strap colours. www.lilienthal.berlin/uk/l1-silver-white-red?c=1

Skagen skagen skagen! I love them, very understated and classy (imo)

I love Citizen Ecodrive watches - loads of different styles. Often discounted...

Try Bering. I love mine

If you can stretch your budget by £5 to £135, have a look at the cheaper Mr Jones Watches. Very unique and supports a small business. I have 5 (ahem, cough!) of their watches and they're just lovely.

I like the look of Cluse.

Sorry, just seen previous comments on Cluse! A friend has a nice one though.

I have a Bulova I absolutely love. Had it 3 years and only taken off for swimming and baths. It's nothing amazing, silver, hands are a dark blue and has the tiniest diamonds instead of numbers, but not blingy. I don't get many comments on it which is what I like as it doesn't draw attention.

Ditto Skagen - bought from Amazon.
