Debenhams shopper's 'all time favourite' watch down 85% to £74 ahead of Father's Day
!I bought this watch and cant be happier! The design is great and I got so many compliments! I will definitely buy Stuhrling again.! 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. STÜHRLING Original Aeronaut Quartz Aviator Watch 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."

Aeronaut Allston will close in late June
This season will be the last for Aeronaut Brewing Company's Allston beer garden. Why it matters: Post-COVID economic headwinds have affected virtually every industry, including craft beer in Massachusetts. Brewing the news: The Allston space will close after June 28, ending a decade of bringing together artists, Harvard students and pet lovers on Western Avenue. "After the challenges of the past few years, we've made the bittersweet decision for this summer to be our final season," the Somerville-based brewery wrote on Instagram. Flashback: Aeronaut opened the Allston location in 2016, selling brews and hosting live music and art events for free. At their peak, they had 1,000 visitors on a Friday, says Ronn Friedlander, a co-founder. The COVID pandemic dealt the beer garden a blow it couldn't recover from, between the 2020 closures and the loss of regulars who left and didn't return to Allston. Looking back, Friedlander says those factors, as well as lower customer spending post-COVID and an increasing number of rain-outs kept the Allston space from bouncing back. Yes, but: Aeronaut is going all out for its farewell season. What they're saying: "We didn't want it to keep fizzling and die off in a sad way," Friedlander tells Axios. The goal for this summer became to "try to have more music, more programming and try to really get people to turn out every single day that we're open and try to end on a positive note." Zoom in: Their events lineup is packed with performances by local acts, from the Caribbean rave to the Femmes to Latin Americana singer Mercedes Escobar. They're also hosting a Pride pre-party, a "Survivor"-themed party and a Carnival-themed sendoff with food trucks and art vendors on June 28, says Deepa Chungi, Aeronaut's programming director. What's next: Aeronaut isn't ruling out a return to Allston in the future, whether it's an event… or even the resurrection of their beer garden.
