I'm looking to spend ~£500 on a watch for my wife. She'd like a mid size white watch. I've seen some reasonable looking ceramic watches from Michael Kors in this price bracket, but I know nothing about them. Input into thei quality would be great, additionally any recommendations would be extremely welcome.

Thanks.

Going by some of the recent topics on here, best advice is not to drop a ceramic watch against a hard surface - The case/bracelet has a tendency to shatter upon impact!

I haven't heard of Michael Kors, but considering the front page of their website is plastered with handbags, I'm guessing they are a fashion watch hehe

My golden rule - buy a watch from a watch manufacturer not a clothes fashion designer that slaps their brand on watches

Eg. Not Gucci, Armani

Would you include Versace in that too? I would have done as well until I read this post.... http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...

That's the exception, rather than the rule, I think...

Lovely looking watch apart from the brand on the front, but as stated that is the exception to the rule
