I'm a huge fan of Philip Stein watches, not unlike many other people, but I have to admit I was less than impressed with the Philip Stein Active Men's Orange Strap Chronograph Watch 32-ABW-RM. While it delivers in the technology category��it falls short in design, in my opinion. As with all of the Philip Stein models the Philip Stein Active Men's Orange Strap Chronograph Watch 32-ABW-RM is armed with mood enhancing technology and more. The specially designed disk might help you to get a better night's sleep, but the bright yellow coloration of this men's watch will shock you out of that restful nap, quite abruptly. Maybe it's just me��maybe I'm the only one who thinks bumble bee, when I look at this watch, who knows.In any case, the watch is Swiss quality and really well made. It is a chronograph with a sweeping second hand. It features a stainless-steel case back and scratch resistant Sapphire crystal, along with luminescent hands and arms. This men's version has a 24 hour time display and date and time indicators. The Philip Stein Active Men's Orange Strap Chronograph Watch 32-ABW-RM is missing just one thing, as far as I can see��a black strap!|||You might not put Tissot and luxury in the same boat, but after you see this women's watch you may just change your mind.

The Gucci logo has been featured in every fashion magazine and on most celebrities for years now and their appeal is not wavering, but what about the mystique of the Gucci gold watch? Once upon a time the gold watch was the epitome of opulence and success, but now it seems that steel has been its replacement. Gucci only features a handful of pieces in gold or with gold accents. The reasons for this are twofold. First, the price of gold has risen steadily over the years and its value is still near its all time high. The increased price of gold has kept manufacturers like Gucci from offering more gold models, and secondly the trend for some time now has been leaning toward steel and other interesting materials.Gucci watches are crafted with more concentration on style and architecture. Let's take the women's Signoria collection, for example. These watches are all about the bracelet design. The bold interlinking on the Signoria bracelets give way to a more jewelry inspired piece. It makes a chic and artistic statement, whether it is manufactured in steel, gold or Gucci's black steel.Thank you, Gucci for keeping your style up and prices down.
