Women's Watches

Choosing a size

Start with case size. Small and classic: the 23 mm rectangular CURREN 9093, the 25 mm POEDAGAR 785, and the 30 mm CURREN 9092 and 9097. Mid-size, 32 to 36 mm: the NAVIFORCE NF5004 and NF5013 and the OLEVS 5189. Larger and bolder: the 40 mm LIGE 10049. Each page lists the case size and thickness, so you can compare them with a watch you already own.

Bracelets and evening watches

Steel bracelets have removable links that any jeweller can size in a few minutes, and mesh straps such as the LIGE 10049's adjust by sliding the buckle along the mesh. For evenings, look at the crystal-set OLEVS 9943 or the POEDAGAR 785. The crystals are not diamonds, and rose gold here is a finish. Our rose gold watches collect the warm-tone pieces.

Water resistance

Most watches here are rated 3 bar, so take them off for the shower. The SANDA 6287 and 3192, the NAVIFORCE NF7109 and the SKMEI 1335, 2056 and 2094 are rated 5 bar, enough for showers and a short swim. The water resistance guide explains each rating.
