help me pick/find a cheap RG/copper looking watch for wife

ok, beleive me it really pains me to pay any amount of money on a piece of junk watch. luckily for me im the one with the spending problem in the family. :)lol
shes not into expensive jewls,watches, handbags etc.

so she says "i want a micahel kors copper watch"... im assuming she meant rose gold looking..

that name just tears me. i would much rather spend it on a citizen or something half what decent. im thinking $500 max. preferably less. mainly because she's not the best at taking care of them like a WIS so it will just get destroyed.

"Cheap", "500$" and "Rose Gold". Uhh that's kinda hard
Rose gold tone may be more likely.

Did she want something that looks similar or is that the exact watch she wants? If the former, I'd just get her what she wants. She would be wearing it, not you. It would make her happy, which in turn would make you happy.

I'll have to agree with Nick, not everybody has the same tastes in watches and if she wants a Michael Kors I'd definitely buy her one and let her enjoy it the way she wants.

I agree with just getting her the one she wants, but for the record, since you mentioned Citizen, take a look at the Eco-Drive Crystal Rose Gold Tone Dress Watch FD1063-57X.

From experience...GET HER THE MK. My wife is very much like yours, not into pricey stuff, however, that makes me even more aware of getting her EXACTLY what she asks for.

If you don't get the MK that she likes, you'll get the "meh" look. You know the one. Besides, all the cool girls are wearing gold tone MK watches now.

My wife has a MK ceramic/rubber watch she wears to do water/outdoor activities. Not bad for the $. Check TJ Maxx or Marshall's if they at in your area, got hers there as a gift for like $150.
