Brighton Cascade Heart Watch vs Peugeot Amélie Heart-Shape Women's Watch

Buy the Brighton Cascade Heart if you want a two-tone watch that reads as jewelry and pairs with both silver and gold. Buy the Amélie heart-shape wire watch if you want a single gold-tone piece with a mother-of-pearl dial and a bangle-style bracelet. The Brighton has the more conventional build: Japanese movement, fold-over clasp, removable links, and a 1 1/8-inch face. The Amélie is the more decorative pick, with a 25mm heart case, dotted markers and Arabic numerals, and an adjustable wire bracelet. Owners of both rate them well; the recurring Brighton complaint is a watch arriving with a dead battery.

• Choose the Cascade Heart if you wear mixed metals and want a watch you can size with removable links and a secure fold-over clasp.
• Choose the Amélie if you want a gold-tone heart case, a mother-of-pearl dial and a wire bangle that adjusts to about a 7.5-inch wrist.
