Ladies watch for fat wrist

I have terrible trouble getting a cheap ladies watch to fit me, fed up with wearing mens. Can anyone suggest where I can get one with a long strap (used to get away with the velcro type, no one seems to do them now). The metal expanding band type just pinch me.
Help!

  • Although I don't have what I'd call a 'fat wrist', I have bought Ladies Fossil watches on eBay from an American seller recently... they're massive. We had to take out many (about 5 or 6!) links to get them to fit.

    I have a ladies leather cuff Fossil watch which I'm only two notches into... there are 7 more holes to get through...

    PM me if you'd like to know who I bought through on eBay, I spent a lot of time researching the sellers to make sure that I had a decent one...!

    I have the same trouble finding anklets to fit my chunky ankles. Chunky legs run in the family (Poor DD although it looks like she's got her dads scrawny ones!)
    I haven't got one!

    Have you tried looking in shops like Evans and Size Up? I know Evans sell watches.

    Try eBay for the velcro straps. I have the same problem, when I buy a nice looking watch I *always* have to change the strap.
