Last year I took the plunge and I finally bought a watch which I had had my eye on for far too long, a Vivienne Westwood Black Orb Watch (£210). I absolutely adore it and it is probably one of my favourite things to own. I think a nice time piece, when the money allows for it, is a really lovely piece to own. I saved up over two years, and I'm smitten. Although I love my Orb watch, it's not something I want to wear every day as I need something that can cope with my clumsiness. I've been looking into cheaper alternatives to wear on a day-to-day basis, and have picked a selection of my favourite five. I'd love your thoughts on which one you think I should go for!

I've always been a fan from afar of Fossil watches, and I also really love their accessories and jewellery range. I love the simplicity of the Fossil cream small Bridgette leather strap watch, which is a pretty reasonable £68, although a colour which might not stay so pretty forever. I really adore anything slate coloured and so I'm quite taken to the pale grey slate Sekonda strap watch, which is much more realistic at £26. Another Fossil watch I have my eye on is more for the delightful coral Fossil Georgia watch, again £68, but it would make such a pretty piece to team with pastels in the Summer! Another very simplistic watch to catch my eye is the simple black and gold look Sekonda leather strap watch which is the most purse-friendly option of my picks at just £20. I couldn't resist adding a bit of sparkle into the mix, especially when I was drawn to the lovely pale rose gold bracelet watch, a reasonable £45. The Watch Hut offer free UK (and European!) delivery, so I think I'll be making a cheeky weekend order.... Which one do you like best?
