A ladies’ watch is a simple and subtle expression of personality. An elegant wrist timepiece can be many things – a splash of colour, status symbol or even a hint of mischief.

The women’s watches on our list could add one or more of these elements to an evening out, your work outfit, an ordinary day or an extraordinary date.

If you are less of a traditionalist, a good alternative would be a smartwatch.

Is there a ‘best’ ladies watch?

With so many choices from so many women’s watch brands, most of us just choose the one that looks the best. Looks are a very important factor, but here is a more systematic way for (the few times) when brain trumps heart.

  • Design: A ladies’ watch is generally more subtle and has a smaller profile than a men’s watch. Favour a clean, uncluttered dial with easy-to-read markers and hands for work, as opposed to more flair with casual watches.
  • Case material: Stainless steel is the most common choices for its affordability, durability and clean, polished look. Precious metals such as gold and rose gold are popular for their inherent value.
  • Strap material: As with the case, stainless steel is a good strap choice, too. Leather is a close second but some avoid it for ethical reasons.
  • Movement type: The elaborate beauty of mechanical movements, especially automatic (self-winding) ones, can turn a ladies’ watch into a showpiece . Quartz movements are maintenance-free and a good alternative for their accuracy and affordability.
  • Crystal: This is the ‘glass’ that covers the dial. Sapphire crystal is better than both mineral crystals and acrylic for its superior scratch resistance, clarity and durability.
  • Water resistance: Water resistance to protect at least against accidental splashes or light rain is essential. Some ladies’ watches on our list are water resistant up to a depth of 100m.
  • Versatility: A good dress watch should transition effortlessly from formal events to everyday wear. Remember, a versatile design allows you to get the most out of your investment.

Price: We have kept our list of the best ladies’ watches in the sub-S$1,000 range, but most cost much less. A couple of very interesting finds tie for the lowest price of just S$113. Watch out – they dip under the S$100 mark during sales!

Best ladies watch in Singapore under S$1,000

We began with a list of about 50 watches and picked the 11 best women’s watches in Singapore using the criteria detailed above. Our decision was based on those qualities as well as the beauty and elegance that these ladies watches embody.

A rose gold finish and 45-stone ring around the dial give the Fossil Women’s Riley watch’s sophisticated design a dose of bling. If you can snag it for less than S$120 on discount, it’s an easy ‘yes’.
