Hello all,

My Mom recently asked me to help her look for a new watch. She was interested in a Michael Kors watch but didn't want to spend much more than 100$. I also feel as though Michael Kors watches aren't very well made for their price. So my question to you all is what is a good quality women's watch for around 100$?

Any advice is much appreciated

My best suggestions are Citizen eco-drives and Victorinox Swiss Army quartz watches.
E.g.,

There are dressier watches, but they cost a little more than $100, e.g.:

I don't normally bash too hard on fashion watch brands for women, but I've seen some bad quality issues with MK.

I think VSA and Citizen are solid choices. Citizen is probably more conservative while Victorinox is sufficiently conservative yet readable. It won't be on the extreme end of conservative for a ladies' watch though.

I'd also throw Bulova into the mix. They have good options right at the $100 price point. Seiko is fine as well but I haven't been as impressed by Seiko lately as I have with Bulova.

I'll add another vote for Victorinox. My mother's had her Victorinox for probably close to a decade at this point, and the examinations I've given it (the work I've had to do on it has, if I remember correctly, been blessedly limited to telling her what the end-of-life warning meant) have genuinely impressed me. Solid construction with good attention to detail, and styled quite well.

I bought a ton of watches in this price range for my wife's birthday a couple years ago. Basically let her pick and returned the rest.

She picked a titanium watch from boccia, similar to this:

I would also recommend you to check Long Island Watch. Marc is a super person to deal with. LIW has a good selection for women that is very affordable for any budget.

Very good suggestions! Thank you all very much

My wife likes the timex weekender because she can change the straps.

Get your mum to look at Eco-Drives.

Take a look at MVMT watches. They got started on Indiegogo and retail for about $115. They are minimalist watches with clean lines. I've gotten several compliments and people tend to think it's a more expensive watch. You can also change out the straps for a different look. You can purchase them online.
