Skagen Women’s Crystal Accented MOP Mesh Watch #686XSGSC Add a uniquely stylish timepiece to your collection with this contemporary, silver-tone Skagen stainless steel women’s watch, which offers a mother-of-pearl dial and Swarovski crystal accents. The oval watch case features small crystals at the top and bottom connectors as well as larger, sparkling white crystals embedded into the bezel that act as hour markers. Manufactured in Austria, Swarovski crystals are machine-faceted, optically pure, and made of 32 percent lead, producing a highly refractive quality. The spare dial just features a pair of luminous-tipped, rounded skeleton hands. It’s completed by a mesh stainless steel bracelet band that adds an elegant texture. Other features include Japanese quartz movement, a scratch-resistant mineral crystal, and water resistance to 100 meters (330 feet)–offering protection from accidental splashes as well suitable for swimming, snorkeling, and light recreational diving.

About Skagen Named after a fishing hamlet in Denmark on the northern tip of the Jutland peninsula, Skagen Designs was founded by Henrik and Charlotte Jorst in 1991 after the two Copenhagen natives moved to New York City. The company subscribes to the principle that beautifully designed, high-quality objects can be created at reasonable prices. Skagen watches represent the technical excellence, refined design and operational simplicity that have created the unique reputation of Danish design.

The fishing village of Skagen–the Skaw–lies where the northern-most tip of the Danish peninsula known as Jutland bends East and breaks the surging waters of the Kattegat and Skagerak seas. The spectacular natural beauty of the area is compellingly beautiful, and its white sandy beaches have been visited by artists for centuries.
Customer Review: Pretty Watch
I just love this watch! I wanted something a little dressier than my old Skagen watch, and since I have a metal allergy went back to Skagen for a new model. I haven’t taken it off since!!

Invicta Men’s 10 Collection Cyrus Watch #3252 Customer Review: absolutely beautiful
georgeous. bought it as a gift or my boyriend. he loves it. the picture does it no justice. it’s larger than you would think, about an inch and a half ish or the face. its a got a real deep blue dial. i highly reccomend it!
shipping was absolutely phenominal once it left the warehouse. wow. 2 days and it was in my hands.
great reccomendation as a gift, or for yourself. very masculine but in a refined way.
Customer Review: Very nice watch . . .
I now own 5 Invicta watches (all below the $50 barrier) and the pictures online do not do them justice. They are excellent looking watches, very substantial (yes they have weight but “heavy” is a relative term, depending on the individual), keep excellent time and come with a 10 year battery (if the battery lasts even 5 years, then 5 stars).

Customer Review: Beautiful but fits funny
I love Skagen watches. This watch is no exception. Good construction, great quality of materials, and really nice leather in the band. It looks great and has a large face (for those of us over 40). The one gripe I have is that the design of the leather band’s connection to the watch case does not allow the watch band to lay flat on my wrist. Maybe I have a larger, flatter wrist but this raises the watch off of my skin to the point that this watch fits better when it is sitting on the inside of my wrist - around the curve.

About Invicta
Latin for “invincible,” Invicta was founded in La Chaux-de-fonds, Switzerland in 1837 by Raphael Picard, who believed that fine Swiss timepieces could be offered at modest prices. For more than a century, the company has created distinctive manual and automatic-winding pieces. In 1991, descendants of the Picard family reaffirmed the company’s founding principle, and the invigorated Invicta has been growing ever since with one of the most widely diverse collections of precise Swiss timepieces on the market.

Bulova Women’s Diamond Watch #96R52 Demure and delovely, this Bulova Diamond stainless steel women’s dress watch is as much an artful piece of jewelry as it is a powerfully accurate timepiece. Featuring a thin-profile barrel-shaped Tonneau design, this timepiece dazzles as it catches the light with the 28 tiny diamonds embedded into each side of the bezel. It frames a classically styled white dial with Roman numerals in black and a pair of stubby dauphine hands in brilliant royal blue. The silver stainless steel bracelet band is composed of polished, thin rounded links, and it’s joined by a invisible-double-locking-clasp. This precise quartz timepiece also features a scratch-resistant mineral crystal and water resistance to 30 meters (100 feet).

About Bulova
The beginnings of the Bulova Watch Corporation can be traced to a small jewelry store opened on Maiden Lane in New York City in 1875 by Joseph Bulova, a 23-year-old immigrant from Bohemia. In 1911, Bulova began manufacturing boudoir and desk clocks, along with fine pocket watches, which he made and sold in unprecedented numbers. During World War I, wristwatches were issued in the military for their greater convenience. Returning veterans brought them home, and a new fashion was created. In the 1950s, Bulova developed the Accutron, the first electronic watch, which was accurate to keeping time to within two seconds a day. During the 1960s, NASA asked the company to bring its timing expertise to computers for the Space Program. A Bulova timer was placed on the moon’s Sea of Tranquility to control the transmissions of vital data through the years.

At the heart of each Bulova watch is precision accuracy. From the finest quartz movements to alternative technologies such as solar or mechanical energy, each Bulova watch is guaranteed to be accurate to within one minute a year.
Customer Review: Strange Interaction
I was buying the watch for my mother and after entering my usual credit card information into amazon, the seller called me on a cell phone to get my credit card. It sounded very strange to me and I canceled my order. I have purchase tons of items from amazon and have never encountered a seller like this. They may be reliable as other reviewer say but I felt uncomfortable sharing my information to a person on a staticy cell phone.

Perfect watch.
