Ask Lisa + Liz
Q: I need a watch that will work for casual or dressy events. What should I look for?

  Try something small with a simple face--this style is more feminine than a sporty watch with chronograph or date functions. A gold and silver bracelet combo can be worn with any kind of jewelry. If you're not a metal fan, opt for a skinny black leather band.

If you do choose a watch with a bracelet band, shake it gently--less rattle means better quality. Whatever watch you pick, buy it from an authorized dealer who will give you a warranty.

Don't forget, good quality watches need maintenance. Take yours to a dealer every two years to have it cleaned, oiled or to replace the battery.   --Liz Cabral
