Invicta Angel Women's Watch vs Stührling Arista Monaco Women's Watch

The Stührling Arista Monaco is the stronger pick for most shoppers: a Japanese VD53 chronograph, 108 hand-set crystals, a mother-of-pearl dial, 50 m water resistance and a Krysterna crystal, backed by 81 ratings at 5 out of 5. The Invicta Angel is a simpler 38 mm round steel dress watch with a mineral crystal, a fold-over push-button clasp and 30 m water resistance, and its 14 ratings average 4.5. Both are quartz fashion watches with steel bracelets, so neither is a heirloom; the Stührling simply gives more watch for the same kind of money.

• Choose the Invicta Angel if you want a round, understated steel dress watch on a bracelet and prefer a conventional round case over a rectangular, crystal-set one.
• Choose the Stührling Arista Monaco if you want a rectangular statement watch with a real chronograph, a date, mother-of-pearl and crystal detailing, and better water and scratch protection.
