Help me find an 'everyday' watch

As the title really Smile

I'd like a leather strap - either tan or navy, smallish face (perhaps rose gold).

All for less than £80 please. Any makes/shops you'd recommend?

Have a look at Citizen Eco Drive watches. They work on solar and never need a battery. There are a few styles with leather straps. Under £80 might be a challeng, but you could find one in an on line sale.
I’ve had mine for about 3 years, it keeps perfect time.

I’d recommend Kate Spade or Fossil.

I love Olivia Burton watches. Top end of your budget but they might have a sale on, or you can buy good condition used ones on eBay.

I just did this research and went for skagen.

Kate Spade, Skagen and Fossil watches are all from the same company. Grin

Skagen have lovely minimalist Nordic style though and great soft leather. I have a wallet by then and it's aged beautifully.

I think Olivia Burton too.

Some brilliant suggestions, thank you! So much more helpful then google.... now to choose.

I'm loving Olivia burton and Skagen at the moment.

My favourite everyday watch atm is from Skagen. Mine has a dark grey leather strap and face, and rose gold metal. It goes with everything I wear and looks really smart. Mine has a huge face but they do lovely small watches too. I bought mine around this time last year, at a very good discount. I’m trying to resist having a look at the sale as I’d love another!

Think I've chosen:

www.watchshop.com/ladies-skagen-anita-watch-skw2267-p99993398.html

Has anyone ordered from watchshop? Assuming they're not a dodgy website.

I got a Cluse watch for Christmas and love it Smile

AllTheCakes · 05/01/2019 19:55

Came on to sat Cluse too, but the other Cake beat me to it!

gonedolallytap · 05/01/2019 20:30

Oh gosh cake people you've thrown a spanner in the works now! I've seen a cluse one I like now too. Confused
