My everyday watch is a Cartier Roadster (with a pink face) and I'd been looking to add a weekend watch to my wardrobe so my interest was piqued when I was contacted by Born Pretty to review one of their women's watches. Their selection of watch styles and astonishingly low prices amazed me. Most of the watches are under $10 with none topping $35. I chose a jelly watch in mint. When it arrived, I was pleasantly surprised that the feel and quality of the watch doesn't reflect the $5.99 price tag. It's lightweight and the oversized face and rose gold tone dials along with the rubbery silicon band give the watch both a classic and sporty vibe. I was concerned it might be too big which is a common problem for me with watches cause despite being 5'6" I have crazy small wrists. It's a little loose on the last hole but it fits. The only gripe I have is that the buckle is silver instead of rose gold but that's something I can live with and no one's going to be looking at the underside of my wrist anyway except the hubster maybe. I've been wearing it on and off for a few weeks and I really like the pretty pop of color it adds to my outfits.
With the holidays around the corner, it got me to thinking that a watch would make a terrific gift or stocking stuffer. Born Pretty carries a range of styles for both ladies and men including fashionable bracelet watches and sporty LED watches.Do you wear a watch? Do you tend to wear different watches with different outfits?

Hi Rowena! You remind me that I need a new watch too!:) I tend to wear different models with different outfits, even though at the end the ones I usual wear are the same. This mint one is beautuful, is incredible it is so cheap since it looks really high quality. Have just checked the site out and there is lots of nice stuff. Have a good start of the week my dear, big kisses! xo
Such a beautiful watch!!!

i don't think i have worn a wrist watch since the days when i was so into baby g watches! i loved the one you picked. i also love their lady's punk bracelet! bookmarking for the future for sure!
I must admit I don't wear a watch just because I tend to misplace them a lot, like my eyeglasses...sigh....this colour mint is too cute though, and because of the price, it's not too bad if someone misplaces it....ahem....:P
The watch looks really pretty Rowena! I love the rose gold and turquoise together. I tend to have different watches to match the gold or silver jewellery I wear. :-))
Wow the rose gold numbers and hardware really make this stand out against the blue! Gorgeous!

I love the color, so pretty Rowena. I used to wear watch years ago but stopped and have relied on phone to tell me the time. Watch is definitely one of the classic accessories. Hope you are doing well.
I'm obsessed! The watch is beautiful and the color is gorgeous and the rose gold hardware compliments it perfectly! Going to have to check them out :) xx Kat

Amazing watch :)
The colour is gorgeous and looks really great against the pink/wine colour knit! :) I love mint green! :) Lovely review. x/Madison
what a pretty watch - it definitely looks more expensive than $5.99!

I love the color, so bright and fun! I really like to switch watches, my favorite is a pink one that I wear almost everyday, but I also have a white one that I love and right now I'm on the search for a gold one. It would definitely make a great gift idea, thank you for sharing Rowena! :)
I can't believe that price! Seriously, I would never have guessed! It looks really lovely, and it has such a pretty mint color! It's a great pick!
I missed you so much, sweetie! I can't wait to get back to a normal blogging schedule!
Lots of love,

I'm normally not a big fan of watches, just because I always look at my phone when I want the time... but this watch adds so much to your style it kinda changed my view on watches.. plus it's minty blue/green and who doesn't love that!
I've just followed you on GFC, looking forward to your next post love!!

That looks like a great second watch and I love the way you photographed it. I'm just awful when it comes to remembering to wear one, I always take them off (same with bracelets, hair clips, etc). but this one is so pretty I'd love to have it just for eye candy :)

that is such a cute watch! I really love the color of it and I have the same problem as you when it comes to my wrist! My wrist/hands never seem to get big!

I love this watch!!!
Have a good week, dear Rowena!! my g+ and like for you!!!:)))
Besos, desde España, Marcela♥
So gorgeous! I just love that color! I'm not sure I can pull it off as great as you though ;) I wonder if it comes in a neutral pink/blush?! That would be so perfect!
WAIT...WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE WATCH IS $6?!?! I was expecting it to be more expensive, since it's such a gorgeous watch! I also really like the colour, but unfortunately, I don't wear watches anymore!

i guess it is the difference in production cost, not the actual quality. i used to wear different watches all the time but now i don't wear it as much to know what time it is. it has become more of a wardrobe item. :)
Wow this watch is fantastic!! Just wow.

I am won over by this beautiful sorbet shade, its so delightful and a great buy. I think the silver and rose gold mix would bother me slightly as well but over all its lovely.
Such a gorgeous colour. Looks great.
OMG!I can't believe the price because it definetely looks like it costs much more than that and the colour is just perfect dear!
Thanks for the review

That watch is beautiful considering that it only cost $6. Wow! I've been looking for a watch for a long while now. It's hard because I want one with good movement, but also one that's fashionable and affordable.

Great choice for a watch! I have a similar one in color and design. :) I love mint green/sky blue/teal colors. :D

I wear a large faced diamante watch that gets a lot of attention so I do like statement watches. This one looks stunning on you. Although I hadn't worn a plastic watch for a good 8 years now...not sure whether I could again.
This is the cutest watch! The color reminds me of my sister, she adores everything seafoam green. :D
Nice watch
I'm generally really bad with wearing watches, I always forget! I love the colour of this watch though, it really pops out in the photos! :)
