I’m always about timeless pieces. Yes, I do like to follow some fashion trend every now and then, but generally, I stick to the basics with a few trendy pieces thrown in. I’ve searched to find the perfect gold chronograph watch for women, and I always end up at the same place. For the price and style, you just can’t beat Michael Kors’ versions.

I love a gold chronograph watch for women because it has an air of masculinity but is always classic and looks great with everything. Michael Kors’ version is great because it is fairly reasonably priced, and not over the top like you find with high-end designer brands. At close to $300, it is still a significant investment in your style.

If you’re the type of person who gets bored with wearing the same pieces over and over again, then you might be better off going with a version like this Journee watch, so you can get the classic style, but change it up whenever you like. At 90% less than the Michael Kors version, you can afford to buy more than one watch to switch up your style more often. Whether you like to wear your classics over and over or prefer more versatility, either version will give you the classic chronograph style that will look just as great with your sleek work look as your casual weekend sweater and jeans look.
