Watch Budget £1000

[Newmum110]

Looking for a nice watch for my birthday. Wear a fitbit so it would be for "good" wear. Generally love rosegold but so far haven't seen anything I fancy. Have attached 2 links of ones that kind of take fancy, open to any suggestions.

Bonus points for a fancy looking watch that has a step counter

You’re paying a lot of money just for the brand names with these, they aren’t quality watches really. If that matters to you?

Maybe upgrade your fitbit ( if you have the band type ) and spend the rest on something else ?

Go on holiday instead

Ir depends what you want.

A fancy fashion watch - like the one's above.

Or a superior quality watch.

Fancy fashion watches are just normal watches, in fancy designs. So it doesn't really matter which you buy, they are all similar quality, it just comes down to the one you like best.

For the same price you can get something like a Casio Oceanus, which is technically a much better watch, but doesn't look fancy.

@Greycatclub unfortunately I don't know a lot about watches, could you recommend any good brands in my price range? Thanks

Thanks @Throwawaytoday I really don't have a clue. I want something that will last & looks nice. Will have a look at what you mentioned. Appreciate it.

Tbh, that price point is a little tricky. If you wanted a true premium watch you’re better saving up a little longer.

But if you’re just happy with a watch you love, just go in and try loads on regardless!

The Gucci watch is lovely. BUT from experience, straps on their watches are very specific and longer term difficult to replace if you need to. If you are going Gucci, get a metal strap one.

On the same site as the Gucci there’s this watch - Rado. Rado are a well renowned Swiss watch brand which would be worth looking at…. Another Rado

Hoping my links work.

Try watch finder and get yourself a nice second hand Cartier or something.

with luxury watches the second owner is the one who gets the real bargain. Don’t bother with box and papers - not needed if buying from reputable dealer.

I’ve used watch finder twice - they will call stuff in for you. The one off new Bond Street is friendly and despite them selling watches for £100k I never felt they didn’t have time for me.

i traded in my watch I got from them with them and got a good deal. Every few years I upgrade a little bit.

And this …. Rose gold rado
