Is there such thing as a woman's watch or a man's watch?

    FI has been eyeing a rose gold Michael Kors watch.  I thought it was a woman's watch at first but he say he doesn't care and that he likes the way it look.  What do you think?

    Definately!  Some women can pull off a men's watch.... The other way around not so much! Lol

    Yes, men's watches tend to be bigger and often have more dials and gadgets. 

    Could you post a picture?

    Well that seems just silly. DH's watches are more than double the size of mine. Is he a smaller guy?

    He was looking at this one?! Personally, to me, it looks like a ladies watch, but he likes the bling around it.

    @mrsbruff2b:  Hmmm...  Personally, I think that is a really feminine watch!  But if he likes it, he likes it.  Laughing  I'd probably try to talk him into something a little more masculine, but...

    @Ms Bookworm:  That's what I thought.  FI is a typically very manly man, so when he said he really liked these and thought about buying it for himself, I was super surpised.  I don't want to discourage him but to me it seems really out of character for his tastes LOL

    If he likes rose gold, what about something like this?  (I personally think rose gold is pretty feminine in and of itself, but at least this Fossil watch I linked to is a men's watch, so it would be the proper size/shape for a man's arm.)

    Or if he likes added detail (not really "bling"), this one?  Or this one?

    @Ms Bookworm:  I like those!  I think I'll have to keep my eyes and ears peeled a little more to see what else he likes.  

    I just think he's into the rose gold trend right now.  I think I'm going to pass up on this one for him hahah

    I'm guessing its a woman's watch, since the bottom category shows the men's...seperately. It looks too feminine to me.

    OP - I think some watches could maybe be unisex, but before you posted a picture I knew exactly what watch you were talking about b/c I have several female friends who own it!  It's a really popular women's watch so I do not think your guy should get it!

    I think it's fine. Just strongly caution him to try it on first, as the scale, and angles of it (made to fit a woman's wrist) might not work on him.

    I think its really feminie, mostly because of the color and the fact that I know many women who wear it.  Since its so popular and recognizable as a womens watch, I'd hestitate for a guy to wear it.  If it was any other color AND watch that was a "womens' watch and wasnt so popular... I'd be ok with it.

    Not sure if you're interested in alternatives, but I found this watch that's a men's rose gold watch with some bling on it!

    That watch is definitely very feminine.  I bet you can find a similar, but more masculine, watch.
