Fossil's oversize chronograph watch with champagne dial is a great alternative, retailing for a more budget friendly $125. Click on the photo below to purchase.

*Update - 9/30/10* - This post is originally from April, so some of the original options may no longer be available. I just spotted this version from Wet Seal and wanted to share. It retails for $19.50 and is a fantastic look 4 less of the MK version above. Click on the photo below if you're interested in purchasing. Also check out this version that reader Amanda sent in - it's by Guess and retails for $135.

I had bought the Michael Kors version which needed a battery change. I took it to Michael Kors for the battery and they told me to go to the Fossil store because Fossil makes all Michael Kors watches. I wish I had bought the Fossil version!
It's true. Fossil makes Michael Kors' and Burberry's (they might by the makers for other designers too, but that's all I'm aware of).
But.
I have a Michael Kors one, and I would definitely not trade it in for the fossil one. There's something so elegant that sets the watch apart (IMHO)
Also Target have a new batch of amazing boyfriend watches by Merona for just $14.99.
wow great find and to know!
Ooohhh! I love these! Gotta add it to the wishlist :)
Target used to have an exact knockoff of the MK one...I waited a day and went back, everyone must have loved them too!
I got the Fossil watch as a birthday present. I love it. It will have to be adjusted if you have a small wrist. It's really, really nice. It doesn't look too bulky and it looks really elegant. Definitely better than the Michael Kors' version.
Those are all good subs, but not NEARLY as beautiful as the real thing. I got the Jet Set in Rosegold with the rhinestones on the outer edge. Worth every penny of the $250.
Jenny - I would have to agree, but unfortunately not everyone can afford to spend $250 on a watch. For those who can, the MK version is absolutely gorgeous. Enjoy your watch and wear it well. :)
Forgive me if I gave anyone the wrong impression. I wasn't trying to undermine your efforts or make anyone feel bad about getting a look-a-like ($250 is more than I've ever spent on ANY piece of jewelry). I just wanted to put in a good word for the Michael Kors watch in case anyone was on the fence.
Jenny - No worries! Sorry if my response made you feel as though you gave the wrong impression in your comment, I did not intend it to do that at all! The MK watch is a beautiful classic piece, and definitely worth the $250 if it's within people's budgets. Thanks for all the feedback - I appreciate it!
We're good, J. :)
Hey, I was just browsing ASOS and found this reaaaaaally pretty, very affordable version:
