Anyone know of any stores that sell Womens Watches for small wrists?
I can't find a watch that will fit my wrist because they are too big and loose. I don't want to wear a Hello Kitty or a Sponge-head Bob watch because it makes me feel a little odd wearing it with a dress. I have been to tons of stores and I can't locate one that will fit properly. I'm a student right now and I don't want to spend a ton of money at a Jewelry Store.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

1. I have tiny wrists-Feel your pain...
I bought a Fossil watch and had a couple of the links taken out from the chain at a kiosk at the mall. Total cost wasn't too bad on my wallet.

2. Timex makes watches with leather bands.
I, too, have incredibly small wrists, and they are the only watches I've found that fit. I don't even have to punch extra holes in them!

3. Timex
I have the same problem. I bought one of their bracelet watches and it fits perfectly. The bracelet is spring loaded and it FITS.

4. From one thin-wristed gal to another...
You can take any watch to a reliable jewelery repair shop and get some one or more of the links taken out. I have a nice Coach Watch that I got for Christmas a few years ago, and they were able to make it so it did not move when I put it on. I hate loose jewelry on my wrists, so I feel your pain:)

6. Don't ever walk in with a Timex
I felt ashamed on my way out by the way that they acted after they asked what brand the watch was :mad:

8. I went to a bunch of Jewelers
All of them acted as if I had asked them a question that they were ashamed to answer.

10. That is terrible!!
I hate people who are snobs. I have worked at a Jewelry stores and the people can be so uppity. Try to see if there is a QuikFix in your area. I didn't get a bad reaction when I wanted a link taken out of my ol' side of the road "Cartier Tank" even when it was obviously, obviously fake.

Good Luck!

11. Target or a similar dept store should also be able to adjust it.
I also have the same problems.

12. I have a ...

...Citizen watch. It is a gold link style with a very small face...that's another problem; finding a watch with a small face.

My wrist is 5" around and this watch fits perfectly.

Good Luck!
