Of Forbes 15 Best Women's Watches, I was bewildered. There is too much going on in the way of color, and design. I don't care for overelaborate watches and most of the Forbes choices fall in that category. IMO, when a watch determines what you can or cannot wear, it's not practical.
Since women tend to wear more jewelry than men, (earrings, necklaces, rings and a variety of costume accessories) it's important to have a flow in your jewelry.
Having a busy watch might work for some but I wouldn't wear it. I like simple gold, black or silver combinations with a rectangle, oval or square case and limited complications.
Of Forbes choices, I liked the TAG Heuer Carrera, the Dior VIII Grand Bal. The Glashutte Original Pavonina was a runner-up. My favorite of all was the Hublot Big Bang Broderie.
I much prefer Pings choices, they're not bossy, they try to fit into your life. Though I don't care for the Christophe Claret Margot, the sentimentality does have a certain appeal. I like the Jaeger-LeCoultre Rendez Vous Night and the AP Millenary Quadriennium even though I don't care for round cases, I could fit them into my life, if I was given one. My fav was that 2015 Cartier Crash. It's an interesting fashion statement without being overbearing.
Nice job Ping, this was a great read.

Diamonds are optional for ladies
Ping, I agree that gemstones are optional for ladies' watches. On the other hand, through history, the best watches for MEN were decorated with the best arts like engraving, miniature enamel painting and gem-setting. That was the Golden Age. Thus, I consi...
I prefer your taste to that of the Forbes writer.
Seriously, your article was quite eye-opening to me, as I normally don't look at ladies' watches (Erika having decided she has enough). Very nicely done and much appreciated.
Based on my experience (or my wife's taste) ...
She only own one watch with small diamonds as hour markers. She considers, and I agree with her, that too much bling is not necessary. Cheers and congratulations for another great post, Nilo
Great selection of watches
I'm sure many agree with that some writers at major editorials really don't know much about watches and what they're writing about. Sometimes I shake my head in disbelief ... Great article btw! Cheers, Anthony
I would love to gather several interesting watches and see...
...how much ladies like it (or not). Many women watches in the high end segment are men's which were downsized. It seems that since the last few years they make an effort to create exclusive ladies models, even more technical. There are classical and mode...
