Just Cavalli Bracelet Watch

I’ll be honest. I hardly ever wear a watch anymore. I usually check the time on my cell phone. It’s accurate and convenient. Well, maybe not so convenient when my phone is in my purse and I need to know what time it is. Not as convenient as wearing a watch would be, now that I think about it. It’s funny how we become so reliable on our electronic gadgets. Now, if we get to the point where my cell phone is small enough to wear on my wrist, I’ll be all set. In the meantime, maybe I’ll start wearing a watch again, but not necessarily for its functionality, but for style. Watches are hardly boring anymore. They can be as much of an accessory as any piece of jewelry. And bangle bracelets are big right now, so what better way to get back into watch-wearing than with a bracelet watch, like this one by Just Cavalli?

Most people may not even realize it’s a watch at first glance. The watch face fits into the body of the bracelet seamlessly, is complementary in color, and the face shape matches the cutouts in the adjacent parts of the bracelet. At 31mm, it’s wide, like a bangle, but has a slender profile, and is smooth with rounded edges, so you don’t have to worry about it snagging your fall sweaters. It’s all stainless steel, has a folding clasp closure, and has three hands with quartz movement. You’ll notice one of the hands is crooked, adding an interesting visual touch. The watch is also water resistant up to about 98 feet, not that you’d wear it while swimming or diving. It’s just too pretty for that. Just Cavalli is a sub-brand of Roberto Cavalli, so you know you’re getting quality and style, all wrapped in a pretty package. If you want it, you’d better hurry. There’s only one left for $315 at Zappos.com.

In case you don’t make it over to that site before the last one’s gone, don’t worry. I’ve got you covered. Not to mention, I know how you can get the bangle watch look for less. Just one way is with the Rip Curl Jersey SSS watch. I’m suddenly tempted to, like, totally speak like a surfer, ya know? Whoa, dude, catch a wave and hang ten with this, like, totally awesome watch! It’s rad! Ow. Ok, that makes my brain hurt. Anyway, it really is a nice watch. And it’s made to be worn in a marine environment. The case is made from 316L stainless steel for strength, waterproofing, and non-corrosion. It’s also water resistant, up to 330 feet. The three hand movement is easy to read on the extra-wide face, which sits on a 35mm band. I prefer the silver, but it also comes in gold, and a silver band with a black face. The buckle closure keeps it securely in place, even if you get caught in an undertow. And yes, it’s undertow, not undertoad. Don’t leave me any comments correcting me. Just surf on over and get the Jersy SSS watch for $129 at Zappos.com.

Now, it wouldn’t be right to have a Rip Curl watch, and not include one from Roxy. The Sonic watch is the perfect melding of style and function. It may look white, but it’s not. It’s brushed stainless steel with an expandable bracelet, for a custom fit. The mineral crystal is, well, crystal clear, showing off the dark gold face and date counter window. The band is about 34mm wide. Three quartz movement hands tell you what time it is. It’s also water resistant to about 98 feet. If this silver and gold number is a little too sedate for you, it’s also available in a funky royal purple with a melon-colored face. And, it’s on sale. Normally $100, you can get it right now for just $82.50 at Zappos.com.
