Which Watch?

I don't often wear a watch, and rely on my phone, however, I have just started a work placement in a school. No phones allowed with the kids around, for obvious reasons, and many rooms don't have clocks.

I think I need to get a watch, but struggling. I like wearing colour and I am torn between getting a fun, funky bright watch, or a more traditional black strap white face that will go with everything.

a) - www.watchshop.com/watches/skagen-watch-skw6556.pdp

The third option is a smart watch (could just stretch with black friday deals) that can connect to my phone so I can sync my calendar and tell me where I should be! This would probably be a Samsung, as I have a Note 10, so guess it would be easiest to sync with the same brand.

Thanks. Sorry for such a boring thread - I can't make a decision at the moment!

I prefer the Pulsar to the Skagen.

Smart watch sounds like hassle but I’m not a huge fan of tech.

see if jomashop.com delivers to UK. Such amazing prices on watches.

I like the Skagen - it's a fun colour. Swatch are also good for bright/funky patterned watches.

I like skagen watches but that's quite hard to read the time! They do some smarter ones
Why don't you try a cheaper smart watch i have a mi band which is about £25 on amazon as I wasn't sure about the idea.....and apart from the really expensive ones don't look great and its good...

Thanks all. The only feature i would want in a smart watch is the calendar app, @averythinline, does yours have that?

Just checked not calender - it has alarms though so does that function for me as i set alarms for meetings/appointments etc

I get these. I have a couple of plain faces (no Micky Mouse) and several straps, some colourful and some sober: www.obag.eu/gb/clocks-watches/o-clock.html

Of the two options you've posted, I prefer the Skagen, although I think I'd get bored of the colour - which is why I like the flexibility of O Clock.

I like a man's watch but that Pulsar one is too busy for me and I like proper numbers.

But all I really want my watch to do is tell me the time at a glance.

I really like the O Watch @Floisme - very functional but a bit of fun and style at the same time. I spent quite a while looking at the different combinations Blush
