Fossil Riley Ceramic Watch – White with Stones vs. Michael Kors MK5188 White Ceramic Watch vs. Skagen Medium Ceramic Watch

Back to school season is upon us and along with it come cooler nights, new clothes, school supplies and the end of the lazy days of summer. Make sure you’re on time this fall with a new watch. If you’re in the market, white ceramic watches are a perfect transitional item to ease into autumn. They look equally appealing against tan skin or fall’s jewel tones. Why ceramic? Unlike stainless steel watches, ceramic is scratchproof. Whether you choose a chunky boyfriend style watch or a more delicate bracelet, your new watch will look fresh year round.

Fossil Riley Ceramic Watch – White with Stones

Best price:

Fossil’s Riley line is consistently popular, offering an easy-to-read face and classic styling in a variety of finishes, from perennial favorite stainless steel to fashion forward ceramic. The white ceramic Riley watch is a statement piece that contrasts boyfriend styling with just the right amount of bling. Reviewers almost unanimously rave about this watch, mentioning how versatile it is. While it pairs easily with jeans or a cocktail dress, its chunky band and sparkly top ring won’t fade into the background.  If you want your watch to both tell time and attract attention, this is the watch for you. Bonus: it’s reasonably priced and has an 11 year warranty. This makes the Fossil Riley white ceramic watch our top pick.

Michael Kors MK5188 White Ceramic Watch

Best price:

Michael Kors’ white ceramic watch is boldly styled, just as the Fossil Riley is, with three hands and a large face. The Kors watch is a chronograph watch, offering stopwatch capability, and displays the date. But are these features worth a premium price? For most people, probably not. Reviewers seem satisfied with this watch, although there are a few complaints about durability. Overall, though, this watch seems to garner compliments just as the Fossil does. It’s bold, sparkly, and makes a statement.  But unless you need an extra one-and-a-half inches in the band length, save some pennies for your next fun purchase and go with the less expensive alternative.

  • Face Width/Height: 31mm
  • Band Width: 20mm
  • Band Circumference: 9 1/2 inches
  • Deployant clasp closure.
  • Three-hand chronograph quartz movement with three sub-dials and a date display window.
Best for
  • Ladies with larger writes
  • Shoppers who want the stopwatch feature of a chronograph watch

Skagen Medium Ceramic Watch

Best price:
From: Nordstrom

The Skagen Medium Ceramic Watch is easily the most delicate of the three watches we checked out. It has one hand rather than three and its band tapers down from 15 mm to 12 mm. While this watch is still versatile, it whispers rather than demands attention. Even its sparkles daintily dot the watch face rather than ring the entire case. Reviews mention that it’s very comfortable to wear. It’s classified as a feminine watch and it’s perfect for someone who has a smaller wrist or simply prefers an understated timepiece. While this Skagen watch is certainly pretty, its delicate styling makes it dressier and so it’s simply not as versatile as our top pick.

 

  • Face Width/Height: 27mm.
  • Band Width: 15mm tapers to 12mm.
  • Band Circumference: 7 inches
  • Push button deployant clasp closure
  • One hand quartz movement
Best for
  • Shoppers who want a watch that combines trendy materials with understated elegance
  • Women who prefer a thinner, lighter band
