LOVE toy watch... so wish I could have one. i would gladly take the f21 watch though... although I have never seen them at my local store, maybe only online? They are so trendy - I wouldn't feel guilty buying a crazy colored watch!

I should also update it to say that my F21 stopped telling the correct time after about one month. Yeah, pretty terrible but I still wear it because it looks cool.

Thanks for answering so quickly, Budget Babe! I didn't realize they had so many at Forever 21 because they haven't opened one in Montreal yet (they will in August, though! Very excited!!!).

I hate that I slightly prefer the ones from Kohl's, because they refuse to ship to me.

In any case, after looking all over the internet for these kinds of watches, I am glad you found a bunch! Thanks so much!

I got a watch (not one of these) from Forever 21's fab finds around christmas time and it still works just fine. For $8.00 it was an excellent deal.

I saw these in the store yesterday, they are cute.

Good to know! I'd definitely purchase another watch from F21 in the future. I don't usually wear a watch to tell the time anyways (have my phone for that) so I'd be wearing it as a fashion statement

I'm really digging the orange Forever 21 version! Great finds!
