I hope that this list brings some viable options for you, when looking for a watch in this price range. I am excited to see what sorts of watches turn up on this list. So without wasting any more time, lets get started.
The 5 Best Women's Watches Under 200 dollars
Victorinox
Victoria
Model: 241632
Case: 32mm, Stainless steel
Band: Fabric
Movement: Swiss Quartz
Functions: HH, MM, SS, Date
Battery:
Water resistance: 100M/330ft
Victorinox is well known for their Swiss Army knives, and only in the last 30 years or so, have they made a foray into the watch industry. But they did it well. Making well built watches, up to the Swiss quality and workmanship. They are a ETA company, and will usually employ ETA movements, meaning parts are common and the watches are generally, easily maintained.The Victoria is a nice entry point into the Victorinox line of watches. It has a nice sized case, at 32mm, and is made of stainless steel. It has a crown at the standard 3 o'clock position. The lens is a sapphire, and it covers a black, sunburst style face. The hours are marked with diamond chips, and the date window is located at the 6 o'clock position. The hands of the watch are polished steel. The band of the watch is black fabric, but stainless steel versions are also available for under the 200 dollar price point.
The movement is a Swiss quartz (presumably a ETA) and should keep great time. The watch can usually be had through online retailers for around 190 dollars. And in my opinion, is a quality watch at that price. It should be durable, and is a watch that could be wore daily.
Nixon
Facet
Model: A384-897-00
Case: 42mm, Stainless steel
Band: Stainless steel
Movement: Japanese Quartz
Functions: HH, MM, SS
Battery:
Water resistance: 100M/330ft
Nixon is an american watch company that has been making watches since 1997, in California. They are not strictly a watch maker, but are more of an accessories company. With that being said, I do not pick them for their watches very often. More than not, the quality is fine, they just tend to be a little overpriced. And that is something that can happen in this case as well. You will want to shop around.
The Nixon Facet is a larger woman's watch. The case measure 42mm, and is made of rose gold plated, stainless steel. The crown is located at the 9 o'clock position, which is unusual, and the lens is a faceted, mineral crystal. That feature gives it the appearance of a gemstone. The face of the watch is also rose gold in tone, and is concave, with indexes for the hour markers. The hands of the watch are also rose gold toned, as well as the bracelet, which has a folding style clasp.
The movement is a Miyota, Japanese quartz style. Miyota is a well respected maker of movements, being owned by Citizen, they produce thousands of movements for several companies.
Like I said above, shop around for this watch. I have found it for as low as 160 dollars, and as much as 275 dollars. It is a solid watch for under 200, but over, and I would suggest you look elsewhere.

Fossil
Original Boyfriend
Model: ES3907
Case: 38mm, Stainless steel
Band: Leather
Movement: Quartz Chronograph
Functions: HH, MM, SS, Date, Chronograph
Battery:
Water resistance: 50M/165ft
Fossil is another company I don't often look at when I am researching watches. They have been in business since 1984, and are also located in America. Texas to be exact. They are a producer of recreational goods, which also includes watches. They actually make watches for a lot of other brands as well. Michael Kors, and Burberry, DKNY, Diesel, and a lot of others.
The Boyfriend is a nice looking watch. It has a 38mm stainless steel case, that has been toned to a rose gold, with the crown at the 3 o'clock position. It also has the chronograph buttons, which are located at the 2 & 4 o'clock positions. The dial face is brown, with indexes for the hour markers. It has a date window located at the 4 o'clock position. It also has three chronograph sub dials, located at the 6, 9 & 12 o'clock positions. The hands of the watch are gold toned with illumination imbued into the hour and minute hand for night time reading. The band is a brown leather band with a buckle style clasp.
The movement is a quartz chronograph type, that is all I know about it. I believe that fossil uses many different types of movements.
Price-wise, this watch can usually be found through the online retailers for around 150 dollars. It is a reasonable price for a brand name chronograph watch. And something that should be able to last you for a very long time.

Bulova
Diamond
Model: 98P141
Case: 32mm, Stainless stee
Band: Stainless steel
Movement: Japanese Quartz
Functions: HH, MM, SS
Battery:
Water resistance: 30M/99ft
The Bulova Diamond is a sharp looking watch. It has a 32mm stainless steel case, that has been toned to a rose gold finish. The crown is located at the 3 o'clock position, and has a small guard built up around it. The lens is a sapphire, and the face of the watch is white, mother-of-pearl. It has 12, individually hand set diamonds for hour markers, and the hands of the watch are gold toned at well. The band for the watch is 3-link stainless steel with a folding style clasp. The movement is a Miyota quartz movement. Bulova, being owned by Citizen, almost exclusively uses Miyota movements.
The watch can be had on most online retailers for around 190 dollars. You get a watch by a company that has a long and prestigious history, a watch that is produced by a huge watch making company, and a watch that even has precious stones in it. It is quite a bit of watch for the price.
Momentum
Atlas 32 Leather
Model: 1M-SP01W2C
Case: 32mm, Stainless steel
Band: Leather
Movement: Japanese quartz
Functions: HH, MM, SS, Date
Battery:
Water resistance: 100M/330ft
Momentum watches are a company I have talked about a few times on the best men's watches under blog, mostly because they make a good watch for a reasonable price. And not only are the watches quality, but they are pretty good looking, in a minimalist sort of way. They are not going to be full of bling or pizzazz.
Momentum is actually a Canadian company. They have been making watches since 1980. They have been known for making quality, sports watches for a decent price. And I believe the Atlas is no exception.
The Atlas 32 is a dive watch that has a 32mm stainless steel case. It has a crown located at the 3 o'clock position. The watch does not come standard with a sapphire lens, but can be ordered with one. The face of the watch is white, and uses Arabic numerals at all positions, except the 3, 6, 9 & 12 o'clock positions. The 3, 6 & 9 o'clock positions use indexes for the hour markers, and the 12 o'clock position uses an inverted triangle. There is a date window located at the 3 o'clock position and the hands of the watch are black steel. The band is leather, with a buckle style clasp.
The movement is a quartz movement. Generally, Momentum uses Miyota movements, but this is not exclusive, so this may not be a Miyota movement. But I have faith that the movement quality is at par with the quality of the watch. And I know the quality of the momentum watches to be sound. I have spoken to people who still use their original momentum watches from the 80's. That's saying something from a watch that is expected to be used hard.
This watch can be had for around 145 dollars without the sapphire lens. If you want the sapphire lens, it will be an extra 40 dollars, making it 185 dollars. Personally, I think it is a good investment. It can be ordered with the sapphire lens on the momentum website. I am not sure if it is available with the sapphire lens on other online retailers.

Wrap Up
This list took a turn on me. I would not have expected to put a Nixon or Fossil watch on any of my lists, but they ended up working out to be better than I could have imagined. I hope you enjoy the 5 best women's watches under 200 dollars. I enjoyed writing it.
