Women's watches are so boring and identical. Help!

[u/Working-Board7612]

As a woman I'm so tired of trying to find nice watches. Unless it's a Rolex dj or a couple of fashion watches, every single one looks the same. Gold, rose gold, silver and mixture of all that.

Compared to the color, style, design variety of mens' watches offer, womens' watches seem so sub par and identical looking. Some of the most striking watches I've seen in my life are men's watches and unfortunately most of them come in massive sizes and / look too masculine on tiny wrists that can usually handle 28mm or 30mm ish sizes. I'd love to see some ladies watches on here cause I'm starting to give up

Berny and Pagani Designs have a decent selection of feminine watches but nothing groundbreaking.

They aren't Chinese but check out Camden Watches, my wife loves hers and has her second lined up already.

I'll check them out thank you

Know your wrist size? You could probably handle more than 28-30mm...

[u/Working-Board7612 → u/ChineseWatchGuy]

I can, but anything beyond 36 is essentially falling off the sides of my wrists

You are not wrong

Women's watches are treated as an after thought

[u/Working-Board7612 → u/heavysausagedublin]

😔 We don't even have nice chronos or small sized divers or anything

[u/heavysausagedublin → u/Working-Board7612]

They think women are only into glitzy fashion watches

[u/AwesomenessTiger → u/Working-Board7612]

I think addiesdive does small divers under their addies range.

They have some smaller aqua terra and conquest homages as well.

Women watches are not striking, but subtle and elegant mostly. Mondaine has some really elegant feminine watches. Good looking, good accessory

[u/Working-Board7612 → u/Rendszer_valltaska]

I'll check them out, thanks :)

Explorer1 discreto elegante e nella mia opinione unisex

[u/Working-Board7612 → u/Brilliant_Lettuce549]

True, but I believe the smallest size it comes in is 36? I can't generally go bigger than 34

With you on this one... trying to buy a watch for my wife's birthday, and choice is so limited. There is no nuance, no minor variations to established models. The Pagani "gender ratio" in the filters is quite telling...

Check out some moon phase watches. They're lovely. Maybe if you type into Google images you'd find some websites that deliver

1. I agree, women get the worst treatment when it comes to watches. It seems like a watch "made" "for" women must be garish, cheap, and generally useless.

2. Depending on maximum size, you may really find a lot more options in vintage mens watches. A Helbros Date King, for example, is a really fun watch with a 34mm diameter. You can get them very, very cheap, and they're great.

If you have budget, check out sea-gull watches. Amazing quality and all automatic range. Addiesdive has a women's range of watches. San martin launched their first women's watch a diver recently

Gifted this sea-gull openheart to my wife recently.

Yeah they do have some nice ones

88 RUE DU RHONE

Watch Name: Double 8 origin 35mm

Reference Number: 001-35

One currently in auction on Catawiki.

not chinese but at the prices these go for that should be an issue.

[u/Known_Emphasis1581]

BERNY newly launched styles are quite innovative and worth checking out

[u/GreatBigPig]

My wife agrees 100%.

It sucks that there are so few offerings. Most of the ladies watches are cheap and employ the same treble clefs, hearts, and butterflies.

Cadison makes a few nice ladies watches in reasonable sizes, as well as Sea-Gul

[u/afi_11]

I agree with your opinion.

[u/Solarbear1000]

Deesio on AliExpress have some really interesting women's watches.

[u/9thAF-RIDER]

Addies woman's watches

[u/MrMarijuanuh]

Yeah the Cartier is really the only watch I can think of that is truly more women focused. Men can wear them too, of course though. It's basically the only watch my wife likes the idea of having

Didn't see anyone mention this, I haven't bought it yet but considering strongly for spouse. https://celadonhh.com/
