Avaner Bohemia Flower Stretch Band Watch vs Blekon Women's Large Face Analog Watch

The Blekon (Geneva) is the bigger, bolder pick: a 43mm case with large black numerals on white, and a stretch band that fits 6–8 inch wrists. The Avaner is smaller at 1.33 inches, fits larger wrists (7.08–8.66 inches), and its listing claims 30m water resistance while the description says not waterproof, so treat it as splash-safe at best. Both are budget quartz watches with alloy or metal cases and glass crystals; owners of this class of watch report the finish wears and batteries need replacing. Buy the Blekon for a large easy-read face on an average wrist, the Avaner for a bigger wrist and a floral look.

• Choose the Avaner if you have a larger wrist (7.08–8.66 inches) and want a floral, easy-read stretch watch with a stated 30m water resistance rating.
• Choose the Blekon if you want the largest, clearest face and numerals and your wrist is between 6 and 8 inches.
