Great Watches Online (NEW=> now with Sun Dials)
Ranked #3,374 in Fashion & Beauty, #50,899 overall
Bulova, Guess, Swatch, Pulsar, Timex, Lego, Citizen, Skagen, Fossil & Tag Heuer watches
In my teen years, some of my friends sported a ring on every finger, even on their thumbs. Guess I felt that was just too much work. Once I studied nursing, it became more of a hygiene thing. When I became a mom, necklaces were tugged on by my daughter.
Yet I still look at my left wrist for the time (more than on my computer monitor). Old habits die hard. So, I thought I'd research the nicest watches for men, women and children that I could find online.
I was pleasantly surprised by two key things: price and warranties. When it came to the styles, I chose slightly different styles and colors - taking into account work or formal occasions. Most importantly, I looked for high quality.
For interest sake, I included a link to one that is 'a concept' (by Tag Heuer) and not yet available.
Oh and who knew? There is even a Lego watch for kids (5-Star rated and only around $25). Hope you find a watch for someone you love (or yourself) in these top picks of mine.

Update May 2012
Based on poll results, I decided to include an easy-to-make sun dial video. The kids will find this fascinating. You are also inspiring them to explore the cosmos and the world we live in . . .

- You have put together a very good collection for men and women. Watches are one form of jewelry in which I am interested. This should make it easier for some of us to pick out a present for that certain someone, or our children. This is another good page Rose, how do you find the time? Your work is useful and helpful. I always enjoy reading your work, I wish I had the time for more. My love to you and yours dear friend. See you around the galaxy...

- Rose this is an incredibly well done lens. I happen to really dig bling. Naturally, since I have a champagne appetite and a beer budget (neither of which I can enjoy) I like this kind of stuff. Well done :-)

- Robert was here and now he's gone but he left his name to carry on:~) I'm always happy to visit with you Rose. (sorry about the corny rhyme, I couldn't resist) This page like all of your pages provided me with information that I could actually use. I've got a small collection of vegetarian recipes because of your prolific writing. I hope you had a good Thanksgiving, and you and your family enjoy the Christmas holiday. With love and respect, dear friend. See you around the galaxy...

- I occasionally wear a special watch that was given to me by the Army, but the battery died in it three years ago.... I don't really need to be anywhere any way! Some day I will remember to fix it -when I have the time.
