Hi,

I'm looking to spend about £300 on a watch for my wife (much more and she'd kill me) to replace her old DKNY one. I've found some that look ok (I know she likes this style):

I've also found this:

So my question is, is the CW much better quality than the others? I feel it should be as it was originally a lot more. If there are any other suggestions (watches or websites) then feel free to make suggestions.

Thanks

I bought Mrs C10 a CW watch for Xmas. Paid less then 3 figures and very impressed with the look, feel and box etc which suggested a far higher price

There is a sale watch on their site for &89 reduced from £299 which looks nice

I would ignore the pre sale price and just decide whether you think what you actually are paying is good value

Could you go secondhand? Will look like new.

Seems a similar style to the first one.

Looks nice, doubt the lack of papers and boxes qould worry the misses.

I'd not really considered "fashion" watches as I've not seen them recommended very often, so stuck to watch brands.

My wife has two CW ladies watches. Very good quality, and the one you link is very worthy of consideration at the sale price. It's an auto too, unlike the others. Definitely the one to choose out of the options you give.

Plus it will become something of a rarity as CW are no longer making ladies watches.

thanks for the input!

I'll think I'll go for the CW, it has diamonds as well and can't go too far wrong with those.

I don't suppose anyone has a CW voucher they don't want do they? ;-)

I don't think you'll be disappointed. I bought my wife one for Christmas and I was really impressed with the quality and finish when it arrived.

Those of you who bought the CW watch, do you have any pictures of it on a female wrist? Interested in buying one for my wife but she doesn't like big watches.

There you go. My wife has quite small wrists. It's not a massive watch but not tiny either.

She also now thinks I'm weird for wanting to take pictures of her hand and forearm.

Cheers! It looks really nice and I like the Art Deco style of it. On another forum I saw pics of a man wearing it and it did look a bit big which had me worried

Purchased the CW watch for the wife's birthday. I'm working away at the moment so hopefully she will like it. At the moment she just has this old Fossil watch so thought I'd treat her to something else.

Wish me luck!
