Has anyone had any problems with their Michele ceramic watches? I have found one I like but have no experience with ceramic.

Plus....are the ceramic styles outdated by now?

Thanks much!

Ceramic watches have so many advantages that they'll probably go on forever. Michele is a very good brand; I have about 10 of them but no ceramic. I personally would not spend that much for a ceramic watch which is pretty much indistinguishable from every other ceramic watch. I have at least a dozen ceramics and have never had trouble with any of them.

I have a few ceramics and I think they never go out of style and are longer lasting as far as the band. I have one Michele but it's not a ceramic, it's stainless steel. I have about 30-40 watches and my Michele watch is the love of them all.

I have two ceramic Michele watches. Had them for a few years now and NO trouble whatsoever. I have one non ceramic Michele also. Great quality, it's my favorite watch brand!

I've never heard of Michele watches ..... where are they sold and what's the price range?

I have had my Michele stainless diamond Deco watch for easily 7 years, and while I own other watches, it is above and beyond my favorite for comfort, style and durability. I do have a couple ceramic watches and like them, although not Michele brand, and it always pains me to not wear my Michele. I don't think ceramic watches are going out of style anytime soon, and if you choose to get a Michele watch it won't let you down.

Michele(dot)com Also sold at many fine jewelers and high-end department stores.

At retail the price range starts at about $700; some may be as high as $5000. Most of the time, you can expect to pay between $1,000-$1500. Some ceramics hover around $2K. That's at retail; if you hunt around, you might do better than that. And no, they don't fake Michele watches. So you could get them on ebay for cheaper.

Most ceramic watches are indistinguishable. I have $50 models and $2,000. Most of the time the ceramic is the same. I still think that the ceramic on the $2K watch was of better quality. No, I didn't that for it and I purchased in 2007-2008 and that was before ceramic became popular in watches. So now you don't have to pay that to get a decent ceramic watch.

Ceramic is classic - as long as you stick to classic watch colors. Michele is an excellent brand, but we don't have to pay that much for a great ceramic band and watch unless we also like the Michele status. As with anything we buy, the most important thing to know is what it makes us happy to spend our money on - always assuming we have the money to spend.

I bought the first ceramic watch Isaac brought to QVC - and that watch is still one of my favorites to wear.
