Debenhams slashes 97% off 'pure luxury' £5.5k watch with 18 diamonds
Debenhams has slashed the price of a 'sophisticated' watch that customers are hailing as 'pure luxury'. The retailer's online platform is known for offering an array of beauty and fashion items at significantly reduced prices, and their latest bargain on a deluxe watch is turning heads.
Shoppers can snap up the GV2 Bari Diamond 9254B Swiss Quartz Diamond Watch with a staggering 97% discount. Debenhams lists the original price as £5,495, but with the current markdown, it's available for just £183.75.
The timepiece boasts a "sophisticated rectangular mother-of-pearl dial" adorned with "eighteen glittering diamond indices" and comes with a "beautiful pumpkin crown" and a "diamond-cut bezel case."
For those looking for a similar style to indulge in or gift someone special, there are other options to consider. The GV2 Padova Women's Silver Swiss Quartz MOP Dial Two Toned Yellow Gold Watch is on offer at Secret Sales for £192.50, which is 93% off its regular price, reports the Mirror.
Aside of Debenhams, Argos has the Sekonda Monica Women Stone Set Two Tone Bracelet Watch for £64.99, and ASOS offers a silver variant for £59.99.
A Debenhams customer lavished praise on the discounted GV2 Bari Diamond 9254B Swiss Quartz Diamond Watch, saying: "Pure luxury in a fantastic presentation box! Lovely in every aspect was so excited to open and even more excited to wear! It has really good weight to it and face is easy to read to tell exact time. Had several compliments on wearing."
A second shopper said: "I absolutely love the watch, high quality, gorgeous finish."
Another was equally impressed: "This watch is beautifully made and although nothing like the proposed price I consider it a really attractive timepiece and certainly very pretty."
A third person enthused: "Really nice watch for the money and can't believe how good it is."
A fourth customer shared their excitement: "I'm in love with this watch, from the dial to the strap. The watch strap is so easy to use as it's a double fastening. Looks very good on. Thought I'd treat myself and was very pleased when it arrived. Comes in a very smart box with a certificate for the diamonds."
However, some buyers mentioned having to make adjustments to the strap. One remarked: "Love the watch looks lovely on really pleased with it had to have a few links taken out of the bracelet as I've got skinny wrists but it's perfect."
Another stated: "My wife loves it [but] had to have one link taken out."
Not all feedback was glowing; one critic pointed out: "Nice watch but too thick and feels heavy on."
Someone else was not at all satisfied: "This watch is the most ugly item I have ever purchased. It resembles a cheap Xmas cracker present."
An additional comment noted: "Very nice watch but extremely heavy and large bracelet. Had it adjusted by a jeweller."
Nonetheless, the bulk of feedback was favourable.
One shopper remarked: "Really nice watch, purchased for my wife and she loved it, comes with a warranty card and precious jewel card for authenticity."
Another customer noted: "Received on time, a remarkable piece of jewellery, real quality through and through."
An additional review read: "Love It. What a very special watch of very good quality."
