Debenhams shopper's 'all time favourite' watch down 85% to £74 ahead of Father's Day
With Father's Day just a few weeks away, now may be the best time to start thinking about what present to give your relatives this year. Planning ahead is more relaxing than stressing out over the last minute sales where the gift might not even arrive in time.
A practical idea to give as a present is a watch, as it will hopefully last the recipient a good few years. While useful for telling the time throughout the day, watches also have the ability to add an extra touch of elegance and sophistication for an event.
Thankfully, Debenhams has tons of timepieces in their sale so you can pick up a great watch for the dad in your life without breaking the bank. One of the best offers is on the STÜHRLING Original Aeronaut Quartz Aviator Watch.
Normally retailing for £480, shoppers can now snatch up this functional accessory for just £74.25 thanks to an incredible 85 per cent discount.
Described as a timepiece that "dares to be bold", the Aeronaut watch is powered by a Japanese Quartz movement that is said to deliver "ultra-accurate precision". As well as keeping shoppers on track, this watch also boasts a day of the week and month feature for added convenience.
On top of this, the timepiece is said to deliver "unparalleled comfort". With bold rivets and a brushed stainless steel signed tang buckle, the 41mm "juggernaut" will hug the wrist with style due to its 22mm alligator-embossed leather strap.

Product Description
Boasting style and practicality, the timepiece comes in three colourways to match everyone's preferences. Debenhams shoppers can choose between either a black, light brown or blue strap, with different coloured luminous hands and markers for each.
Another timepiece in the Debenhams sale is the STÜHRLING Original 1000 Quartz 44mm Chronograph Watch. Usually with a hefty price tag of £2,400, bargain hunters can now snap this watch up in either black or red for the much cheaper price of £161.25.
Alternatively, Argos has slashed 50 per cent off the Citizen Men's Eco-Drive Watch, which normally retails for £299. However, savvy shoppers can now grab it for £148.99 in the sale. With a water resistance of 100m, this timepiece gives the time in both 12 and 24 hours.
However, from shoppers on the Debenhams and Stuhrling websites, the Aeronaut watch has received a wide variety of reviews, with one shopper claiming they will be back to buy more of the timepieces crafted by Stuhrling.
One happy watch-lover wrote: "What a piece of kit, top quality. It's even better than I thought, absolutely brilliant. l will treasure this, thank you so very much."
While another five-star reviewer added: "I've used many watches in my life and this is my all time favourite. I wear it for the military and it's held up fantastic. Months in the field, water, mud, sand, you name it and this watch has been in it.
"I replaced the pins with 24mm pins and threw a Nato strap on it and I never looked back. I have a luminox and wore it but it's not as reliable or as nice as this watch. I've had it for about 4 years and haven't replaced the battery yet."
However, one person wasn't pleased with the quality of the watch, writing: "Good but not great. It looks a lot better in pictures than in person. I'm sure some other of the more expensive models may be made in a higher quality. Overall it's just good. What's the old saying, 'you get what you pay for'."
While another person struggled with the band: "Great watch my only complaint is I have big wrists and it barely fits on the second to last hole. Hoping the leather band will stretch out over time. Great watch for the price."
Fashion deal of the week
Looking for a new wardrobe staple that will be comfortable all summer long?
The Next's Wide Leg Trousers with linen might be up your street. In fact, they are so popular with other shoppers who say they "can't wait" to wear them when the weather heats up.
Available in a selection of colours and prints, there is a pair for everyone. However, prices do range from as low as £22 to £49, but this does depend on the style that shoppers select.
Ideal for balmy days, these trousers have been designed in a looser fit than usual and have been crafted from a soft material with added linen. Boasting the on-trend wide-leg design, it's no wonder shoppers are calling them "very comfortable" to wear.
They also feature an elasticated waistband that won't dig into the stomach, while two practical side pockets finish the design. A hit for summer, these linen trousers can be paired with flip-flops, loose fitting tops and even swimwear when by the beach.
Available in both petite and regular, they can be bought in sizes eight through to 20. Just a few options shoppers can choose from include a basic black, red and chocolate brown, while vibrant patterns of palm trees and florals are also included.
Multiple colours of the Next trousers boast glowing reviews, as one reads: "Lovely flowing cut, very flattering. Can't wait to wear these when the weather is better!"
A second shopper praised: "Great fit. Very flattering. Can be dressed up or down for day or night wear."
Next's Wide Leg Trousers with Linen range from £22 to £49 and can be bought here.
On the flip side, another shopper praised: "I love the look of this watch, kind of edgy and technical at the same time. The band is a bit stiff, but excellent once you get used to it in my opinion.
"It's a bit quirky from a mechanical standpoint and interesting how it displays the days of the week. The quality and appearance for the price are excellent, and I will probably look to this company for my future watch needs."
Another five-star reviewer also chimed in: "I bought this watch and couldn't be happier! The design is great and I got so many compliments! I will definitely buy Stuhrling again."

High street brands we miss the most in the UK ranked
Buying the latest outfit and taking it home in a snazzy carrier bag was a small joy that made the long queues and crowds bearable. Fast-forward 20 years and the decline of our high street has been inevitable due to the rise of internet shopping and Covid-19. Dozens of banks have shut in recent months, and brands such as Topshop, BHS, Debenhams and Woolworths are now a thing of the past. We all hold nostalgia around what we once loved about our high streets, and now, data has analysed the shops us Brits miss the most. Experts at Liquidation Centre analysed search data revealing the top-searched brands. Top 10 high street brands shoppers want back 1. Debenhams 2. Dorothy Perkins 3. Toys R Us 4. Cath Kidson 5, Thorntons 6, Mothercare 7. BHS 8. Woolworths 9. Miss Selfridge 10. Blockbuster According to the data, it appears that Debenhams is the retailer that most consumers want to see back on their high streets, with a huge 499,000 average monthly online searches. UK High Street Shops That No Longer Exist Boohoo bought the brand and its website in 2021, but didn't buy its high street stores, which eventually closed down. Fans of the brand may be pleased to hear that Boohoo has changed its name to Debenhams, reviving the popular 247-year-old brand. Unfortunately though, physical stores are not expected to return. Could the UK high street ever make a comeback? Sarah Fleming, spokesperson at NerdWallet UK, said: "The UK's retail sector has been hit hard over recent years. Recommended Reading: "The businesses on the high street that will succeed, will be investing in growing their online brand presence across the 'bricks and clicks' online search landscape - the ones that invest in PR, Brand, AI optimisation and social media. "It's why we're seeing such a resurgence in businesses capitalising on Tiktok trends: from M&S's viral launch of the strawberries and cream sandwich that launched in tandem with Wimbledon; to Tesco following suit and releasing a birthday cake sandwich after seeing the success M&S garnered online. "To survive, businesses need to think creatively, about how they grow their businesses away from the physical world and integrate with the online one to stay afloat."

$2 billion medical donation had me dreaming of paralysis cure
The Knights are no strangers to medical causes. A decade ago, they matched $500 million raised for the same institute, doubling its resources overnight. Now, working alongside Dr. Brian Druker a pioneer who revolutionised cancer treatment through targeted therapies they've taken that commitment to a level few could have imagined. Their aim is simple but staggering: to transform how we understand, treat, and ultimately cure cancer. It's a long way from where Knight began. In his memoir Shoe Dog, he recalls the early days in 1964, selling Japanese running shoes from the back of his Plymouth Valiant. That tiny venture became Nike, a company now worth billions, built on the belief that sport can change lives. Knight's business story is a lesson in vision and persistence. His philanthropy suggests he believes science can be driven the same way. I read about Knight's gift on the same day I went for physiotherapy. As I worked through my exercises coaxing my stubborn leg into action my mind wandered to the same place it often goes when I hear news of medical breakthroughs. What if there was a cure for paralysis? What if the messages from my brain to my leg flowed freely again, the broken bridge in my nervous system rebuilt? I imagine standing up without a thought, my body suddenly fluent in movements it has long forgotten. In my mind, I'd turn into a kind of Superman not the cape-wearing, planet-saving sort, but the kind who makes up for lost time with a vengeance. I'd run until my lungs burned, play sport until the sun set, walk miles just because I could. I'd board a plane without wondering about access, climb mountains, dive into oceans, and dance on cobbled streets somewhere far from home. I wouldn't stop. It's a fantasy, but one rooted in the same force that fuels Knight's gift: hope. Read more: Cancer and paralysis aren't the same, but they share a brutal truth, both can strike without warning, both can strip away the life you once knew, and both create a hunger for breakthroughs that feels almost primal. I've lost friends to cancer. I know people living in the limbo of waiting for better treatments. And I know my own quiet ache for a cure, the way it sits with me every day, sometimes loud, sometimes barely a whisper. That's why stories like this matter. They're not just about money; they're about momentum. Science is often portrayed as a slow, careful march, but the right funding can turn it into a sprint. Knight's donation will pay for labs, equipment, trials, and the kind of bold, risky research governments often won't touch. It can draw in brilliant minds from around the world and give them the freedom to chase ideas that might otherwise remain trapped in grant applications. Of course, $2 billion won't cure cancer tomorrow. But it will close the gap between where we are and where we dream of being. And maybe just maybe the breakthroughs made possible in oncology will ripple outwards into other areas of medicine. Advances in gene editing, cell therapy, and neuroregeneration could one day be applied to paralysis. I left physio tired but strangely energised. I thought about Knight, about Dr. Druker, about the patients whose lives might be extended or saved because one man decided to write the biggest cheque of his life. I thought about the people who will never meet him but will feel the impact of his gift. And I thought about my own 'what if' not as an impossible dream, but as a possibility that's just waiting for its turn. In Shoe Dog, Knight wrote: 'I wanted to build something that was my own, something I could point to and say: I made that. It was the only way I saw to make life meaningful.' It's clear that for him, meaning now comes not just from shoes and sport, but from putting the weight of his fortune behind the hardest problems in medicine. We need more of that from billionaires, from companies, from governments, and from ordinary people giving what they can. Medical revolutions don't happen in isolation. They're built from thousands of contributions, from lab bench to bedside. Knight's gift is historic, but it's also a reminder that progress is a team effort. Until the day science answers my 'what if,' I'll keep doing my rehab. I'll keep pushing through the ache, because every step I take now makes me ready for the steps I hope to take in the future. And I'll keep believing stubbornly, unapologetically that cures for both cancer and paralysis are out there, waiting for us to find them. Because if Phil Knight can take the biggest swing of his life for cancer research, the rest of us can keep showing up for our own battles. Hope, after all, is contagious and with that mindset I challenge you today to go and move your body in the beauty of nature for all those who can't and to remind yourself 'Be where your feet are'
