I want to give my wife a nice watch for christmas. Outside of sites like macy's and amazon, what are some other vendors should I check out for good quality discount watches (no knockoffs)?

Im looking to spend between $150-200, small ladies watch in all silver color (no gold/goldtone), metal strap

If you know of a watch that fits these criteria, please link.

Thanks

I bought my Movado and my wife's Movado from thewatchery.com.

My movado was like $265 shipped but "retail" was like $800 or something like that, maybe more.

I then found one for my wife as well that I gave her for Valentines day last year. it was the Kara Movado model I believe, and I think it was like $195 from the watchery.

EDIT: this is the one I got my wife

EDIT 2: here is the one I got myself

thewatchery isn't an official reseller though so I had to pay at the movado store like $20 to get it sized.

www.jomashop.com

like the one above, they aren't official resellers so any warranty service can get tricky but they are all real, first quality watches and they sell below msrp (which is why they can't be an official reseller). I've got 2 or 3 watches from them and always been satisfied.

Nowhere. Every cellphone has a clock and keeps more accurate time than any watch. Why piss money away on obsolete technology?

Who want shit hanging off of their wrist anyway? Unless you're a chick.
