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

If a day was 24 hours and 8 minutes, I'd be on time for everything. Admittedly, I am not much of a jewelry person, unless there is something really unique (or useful) about the piece.

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 . . .

California consumers are entitled to special warnings about products that contain chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm if those products expose consumers to such chemicals above certain threshold levels.

    Wow, quite the collection of watches, all of them would make great gifts! This site is a "one stop shopping list for watches"!

    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...

    Even though it's for kids, gotta love the pink one!! Girly all the way!

    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.

    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.
