My lovely Ellesse watch has died. It looked like this webimg.secondhandapp.com/w-i-mgl/5b6b3b748d34775eaab73904 .

Can anyone recommend an elegant waterproof replacement? This is for DH to buy for me Smile. I do need it to be waterproof as I like to go swimming and I will just never wear it if I have to take it off before I go.

What's your budget?

We looked at waterproof watches quite carefully, for watersports - quite a lot of the prettier ones have clasps which aren't secure enough. Rotary turned out to be the best bet for my needs, one of mine is not unlike that photo and they're at the less extortionate end of the price range.

(I've now ditched style for function and got an Apple Watch - I've not taken mine swimming yet but DH has and reckons they're brilliant for automatic lap counting. )

I think under 200 quid ideally (although that might be flexible). I would really love an Ellesse watch again but I don't think they make them anymore. I don't want it to look like a sports watch.

Citizen do some nice reasonably priced watches, depends on how waterproof they need to be, but the eco-drives are brilliant as they don't need batteries as the charge by light. www.citizenwatch.co.uk/ladies-eco-drive-silhouette-ew2520-56y.html really classic watch.
