TOP 5 women's watches from trusted brands for a budget of $100

Quartz watches from the Timex brand are primarily distinguished by their original dial design. Its white base is decorated with Swarovski stones. Moreover, they are not just chaotically scattered, but act as a kind of map of the starry sky. The Timex TW2T87500 is also equipped with Indiglo electronic backlighting, which makes the constellations of the three zodiac signs – Aries, Taurus and Gemini – clearly visible.

By the way, related versions of astrological themes are also available for sale. For example, the Timex TW2T87700 looks good with winter signs (Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces) and a design in darker colors.

The watch has a gray leather strap with a classic buckle clasp. Together with the golden round case (diameter 37 mm), it looks very versatile. So, the watch will complement both business and most everyday women's looks, with the exception, probably, of the most sporty ones.

The level of moisture protection is stated at WR50. But since the model is made of brass, it is better to protect it from rain and refrain from washing your hands while wearing the watch. Brass alloy is poorly protected from corrosion and can darken when exposed to moisture.

The Timex TW2T87500 is an unusual-looking women's watch that can interest connoisseurs of astrology and more.

Skagen brand watches made in golden color look discreet and laconic on a woman’s hand. The markings of the white dial are devoid of numbers, but each value from 1 to 12 has its own oblong mark, so reading the time is easy and quick.

Skagen SKW2694 are very compact (diameter 30 mm) and belong to the category of ultra-thin models. The case thickness of 6 mm adds both sophistication and practicality. Even the narrow sleeves of clothes should not interfere with the watch, so the owner of the accessory will not have any difficulties with choosing outfits.

Both the case and the strap of the model are made of stainless steel. It is only prepared for minor exposure to water, such as splashing rain, as the water resistance is at the base level of WR30.

The Milanese weaving of the bracelet adds additional appeal to the Skagen SKW2694. It also allows air to pass through well, so your hand should not sweat in hot weather. The fastener uses a folding clip with a quick extension mechanism.

Other bonuses of the model include the manufacturer’s concern for the environment. At least 50% of the stainless steel used in watch production is a recycled product. And the paper used for packaging is marked with an FSC certificate, that is, it is made only from legally obtained forests.

Skagen SKW2694 is a beautiful and quite practical women's watch with a reasonable price tag.

Women's watches produced by Casio are notable for their interesting combination of colors. The metal case is decorated in discreet silver, and the leather strap is in bright blue. Thanks to this feature, the Casio LTS-100L-2A should look good with both casual and sportswear styles.

The dial is made in a similar color scheme. Its backing is predominantly silver, but has a bluish circular insert. The hands and hour markers are clearly visible against its background. Moreover, in almost any lighting, since they have a contrasting golden color and are complemented with a luminescent coating.

Casio LTS-100L-2A has a proprietary quartz movement that does not require winding and is battery-powered. There is no need to change the battery often, because it is designed for 10 years. And this, as for models with a second hand, is an excellent indicator.

The watch will tell its owner and the current date. The corresponding window with the day of the month is located next to the three o'clock position.

Thanks to the leather strap and relatively small dimensions (diameter 29 mm), the watch is almost unnoticeable on a woman’s wrist (it weighs only 28 grams). And the level of moisture protection WR50 allows you not to remove them to wash your hands or in rainy weather. The model will not be afraid of scratches either, since it uses very scratch-resistant sapphire glass. It also does not lose its transparency and presentation for many years.

By the way, the Casio LTS-100L-2A is one of the most affordable women's watches on the market, featuring sapphire glass rather than ordinary mineral glass.

An exclusive feature of Orient brand watches is their proprietary “filling”. The quartz caliber HE721 made in Japan is used here. In addition to reliability, it is characterized by decent autonomy (up to 3 years from one battery) and a small operating error (no more than 20 sec/month).

On the black dial of the Orient SZ2F004B, in addition to three hands showing the time, there is also a date window. It is located next to three o'clock. There should be no problems with reading the time: the hands are silver and have a luminescent coating that glows in the dark.

The watch has good water resistance parameters - WR100. You can dive underwater in them, which means you can safely shower and even swim. Moreover, as users note, not only in pools, but also in open water.

For even greater sealing of the case, a screw-on head is provided. By the way, it should also exclude accidental time transfer when hitting surrounding objects.

The materials used to make the model fully correspond to the price category of the watch. The small (diameter 29 mm) case is made of silver stainless steel, and the strap is made of black leather with a crocodile texture. But even despite such finishing, the accessory looks very laconic and even rustic, especially for a female model.

But if a girl likes a masculine design and/or her priority is accuracy and high moisture protection, then the Orient SZ2F004B is an option worth considering.

A representative of the Elementary series of the Swiss brand HANOWA, this is a women's watch with an original floral pattern on the dial base. On a gray background in the lower half of the “screen” there are white floral patterns. They are the same color scheme as the leather strap, and also create a nice combination with the gold case.

The model not only belongs to the Swiss category, but also received a quartz movement with the Swiss Made mark. This means that it meets traditionally high quality requirements, consists mainly of local components, and its final assembly and testing was carried out in Switzerland.

Accordingly, the buyer has the right to count on good accuracy, overall durability and accuracy of the model. The caliber itself is equipped with three hands and is complemented by an indication of the day of the month (date).

The watch has basic moisture protection and, as for a women's model, is not at all small in size - the dial diameter is 40 mm. But they look neat on the wrist and are well suited for everyday wear and various use cases (except perhaps as an ideal addition to an evening dress).
