One of the great things about designer wristwatches is the enthusiasm which the leading brands have for bringing out new styles and designs. Indeed, you could quite easily buy half a dozen newly released designer timepieces each year if you wanted to!

Of course, summer is a great time for new product releases and this year is no different. To be sure, many of the leading brands have been busy little beavers, releasing an abundance of new designer styles, features and colours to a very expectant market.

If you have a keen eye for new product releases then you may well have seen some of the new kids on the block for yourself. However, if your attention has been elsewhere over the summer (Team GB per chance) then you may well have missed out on the some of the key movers and shakers.

Fortunately, you can rely on us here at Watches2u to fill you in as we always make sure we have our ear to the ground.

Here are some of the releases that caught our attention:

Adidas watches
Adidas have been very busy with their watch releases this year. One of their key launches was the Limited Edition Melbourne watch, which celebrates 40 years of the Adidas trefoil logo. This beautiful timepiece really is a great testament to the company’s continuing commitment to originality, authenticity and creativity and is a fitting addition to its watch range as well as its brand as a whole. The Limited Edition watch is a direct follow up to the highly coveted Gold edition of the Melbourne model, of which only 500 were made and only 50 were released in the UK. Unsurprisingly, this model has now completely sold out; thereby illustrating how popular Adidas watches continue to be.

DKNY timepieces
In case you don’t know, the DKNY brand aims to encapsulate the fashion, architecture and culture of New York City in its products and therefore produces watches which allow consumers to go from day to night time in the blink of an eye (just like New Yoikers). To this end, DKNY have gone with the strategy that white is the new black this summer. Indeed, their range of white and classically coloured DKNY watches is already a marketing success as it fits in with the rest of their brand perfectly. DKNY also released new men’s watches this summer which are suitably masculine and befitting of the rest of the brand.

Michael Kors watches
Not to be outdone, Michael Kors released some classic pieces earlier in the season in the shape of their over-sized unisex designs, the MK8247 and the MK5605.  Both of these bold timepieces feature round faces with functional detailing in yellow gold and bronze. In contrast, their MK3178 release provides more of a classic minimalist approach as it has clean fresh face which is intended to appeal to those who like their timepices to be simple affairs.

There was a time when wristwatches were seen as being a predominantly male accessory. Indeed, gents’ watches were practical devices that enabled men to keep track of time whilst they were out exploring the world and building empires. Of course, times have changed drastically and ladies now enjoy the luxury of wearing a beautiful designer timepiece on their wrist every bit as much as men.

So, if you are a man who is looking to get your special lady a gift; a designer watch could well be the perfect option. However, ladies are very much spoilt for choice when it comes to designer watches these days, so you may find choosing one to be something of a difficult task.

Fortunately, such difficulties can be easily overcome if you heed the following handy snippets of advice:

Accurate representation
Perhaps the most important aspect to get right is that of ensuring the watch you buy will accurately reflect you lady’s style and personality. For example, if your special someone has an extrovert nature then you will likely need to choose a watch which is immediately attractive and demands attention. Conversely, if your lady has quite a reserved personality then a less ostentatious watch may well be more representative.

DKNY watches, Diesel timepieces…
Many ladies these days have a loyalty to one or two particular fashion brands. This is not a problem though as many of today’s leading fashion designers produce superb ranges of designer timepieces. For example, popular ladies brand names like Emporio Armani, Diesel and DKNY have offerings which are of the very highest order so you should consider these first, especially if you know for sure that your gal has a soft spot for their products. Of course, there may also be some designer brands that your partner is averse to so make sure you are aware of this before you become tempted to make any kind of educated guesses.

Active lifestyle
If your lady is a gym bunny or outdoors type then the watch you buy will need to reflect this. Practically all designer wristwatches these days are designed to withstand general everyday use so they will normally be more than up to the task of accommodating running and cycling activities. In addition, many ladies timepieces are also waterproof so your special gal will be able to wear it in the shower after she has finished her workout. If your partner is into more extreme sports (e.g. rock climbing, snorkelling) then you may well need to look at timepieces which are specifically designed for these purposes.

Following the above advice will help you to find the perfect designer watch from the many ladies options that are now so widely available.

But don’t buy a designer watch from just anyone – buy your gift from us here at Watches2u. That way you can enjoy the peace of mind that comes from knowing your purchase is 100% genuine and will come complete with the manufacturer’s own warrantee.

Like many other people, you may like to follow the fortunes of celebrities and emulate the fashions and styles which they wear. Indeed, Premier League footballers, Hollywood A-listers and popular music artists always look fantastic when they are snapped by paparazzi partying at Chinawhite’s or attending a red carpet event in Leicester Square.

Of course, the main reason why these celebrities always look so fantastic is that they can afford to. Certainly, many of the footballers, actors and musicians you see on the front (and back) of your newspapers each day make more money in a week than most people earn in a year. This means that they are able to sport the most attractive bespoke clothes, the most beautiful diamond earrings and the most impressive designer wristwatches that money can buy.

Naturally, it is difficult to reproduce the look of these celebrities if you do not have an income which equates to a brand new Ferrari every month. However, whilst coloured diamond jewellery and tailor-made Louis Vuitton clothes may well be beyond your budget, designer watches are not.

In fact, it is quite possible to source affordable designer timepieces that are beautiful enough to grace the wrist of any A-lister when you know where to go.

And the fact that you’re reading this blog suggests that you’re already in on the secret.

Indeed, if you want to emulate the style of your favourite celebrities without taking out a second mortgage then you’ve come to the right place. Here at Watches2u, we are passionate about beautiful designer watches for men and women and believe wholeheartedly that they shouldn’t be the preserve of people who get paid inordinate amounts of money to kick a ball around, mime to a backing track or pretend to be someone else.

After all, you work hard too and deserve to enjoy a touch of decadence in your life which will make you feel significantly more glamorous when you go for your own nights out on the town or attend formal social gatherings. Indeed, wearing a beautiful designer timepiece along with some glam attire can help to make you look and feel every bit as special as the celebs you see so often in the pages of ‘Heat’ and ‘Hello’.

This is why we go out of our way to offer such excellent value for money on our products. Indeed, when you come to us looking for super-stylish designer timepieces, you can rest assured that you will be presented with some of the most competitive prices available.

In fact, we’re so confident in the value of our ladies and gents watches that we even run a price match policy. This means that if you see one of the watches we stock cheaper elsewhere online, we will beat the other retailer’s price on a like-for-like basis.

So, if you want to look like a celeb without paying through the nose for the privilege, look no further than us here at Watches2u.

You might love jetting off on holiday. Trips away mean you get to escape the stresses of everyday life for a week or two and enjoy some rest and relaxation. Also, you can experience new things and see different sights.

Of course, before you head off, it’s important to make sure you have all the items you need to take with you. As well as your clothes, swimming gear, electrical converters and so on, you might benefit from ensuring you have the ideal watch. Stylish gents’ and ladies’ watches can make the perfect addition to holiday outfits and of course you’ll need to be able to tell the time while you’re away. Also, if you’re planning to laze about on the beach or by a pool, you may need waterproof timepieces.

Brits escaping the weather

If you’re planning to set off on your summer vacation soon, you’re not alone. According to figures produced by ABTA, millions of people are heading out of the UK in search of sun and warmth. It noted a 20 per cent rise in holiday searches in June and estimated that, between the start of July and the end of August, up to 13 million UK consumers will have taken trips overseas.

Up to 90 per cent of these adventures will  be to countries around the Mediterranean, where it’s possible to take advantage of cheaper prices due to eurozone troubles and a strong pound, which has increased in value against the euro by ten per cent over the last 12 months.

No surprise

Commenting on the high numbers of holiday bookings, head of communication at ABTA Victoria Bacon said: “The UK is a beautiful country with exceptional holiday appeal but the weather this year has been setting records for all the wrong reasons and it is no surprise that millions of us are looking to head off overseas for more reliable weather and high temperatures.”

In a word of advice to holidaymakers, she added: “It’s important that people book sooner rather than later as late offers are proving popular.”

Jamie and Louise Redknapp don matching watches

Ex Liverpool and England footballer Jamie Redknapp and his singer and TV presenter wife Louise were recently snapped in New York wearing matching outfits, even down to their watches. The pair each had on white tops, while he wore green shorts and she sported a green skirt, the Daily Mail reports.

As well as accessorising with sunglasses, the duo also had silver coloured timepieces adorning their wrists. These were the perfect addition to their chic but casual ensembles, showing just how versatile the products can be.

Catching up with pals

The husband and wife team met up with a friend for a spot of lunch. Of course, being the Redknapps, this was no ordinary rendezvous. They caught up with fellow international star Michael Ballack. The German footballer sat down with Jamie and Louise in the Meatpacking district of the Big Apple and the tree amigos looked at ease in each other’s company.

Commenting on this, the Daily Mail said: ‘All three were in relaxed form as they chatted and watched passers-by from their outside table.’

Celebrity style without the price tag to match

If you’re keen to emulate the style of the world’s rich and famous without going bankrupt in the process, you’ve come to the right place. Here at Watches2u we’re passionate about gorgeous watches for men and women and think you shouldn’t have to spend the earth to get hold of products like this.

Price match policy

We’re so confident in the value of our items that we even run a price match policy. This means that if you see one of the watches we stock cheaper elsewhere online, we will beat the other retailer’s price on a like-for-like basis.

Of course, there are certain restrictions on this. For example, the product must be in stock and brand new at the alternative retailer’s website and the product has to be identical. Also, we don’t price match against EBay listings, clearance items or websites that are not UK official dealers.

If you’re keen to find out more about this price match policy and see our full range of products, just take a look around the rest of our website.

There are plenty of products on the market these days that can help you look and feel good. For example, you might love to wear stylish watches. These items can be the perfect accessory to virtually any outfit and of course they’re useful when you need to glance at the time.

Like a lot of people, you might opt to source your wristwatches over the web. This can save you time, hassle and money. Meanwhile, there is a whole array of watches for you to peruse online, so you’ll never be stuck for choice.

Empowering

According to the Cisco Internet Business Solutions Group, the rise of internet shopping has empowered consumers. Lisa Fretwell, the company’s director for retail and consumer packaged goods practice, said firms now have to keep up with consumers’ changing demands and expectations if they are to succeed in the world of ecommerce.

The expert noted that individuals have access to an unprecedented range of products and can also make the most of parcel delivery services, meaning the items they order can be with them in a matter of days.

Have it all

Ms Fretwell added: “Customers can now literally search the world for any item anywhere and at any time.” She added that “in just minutes on the internet, consumers can have it all – the quality product they want at the lowest price possible, delivered right to their door”.

Meanwhile, the specialist also pointed out that people now have the option of using tablets and smartphones to combine web shopping and high street retail experiences. This means they can compare prices and product details.

We’re here to help

Another great thing about coming here to source your women’s or men’s designer watches is the convenience of this type of shopping.

Instead, all you need are a spare few moments and access to the internet. You can even peruse our watches during a break at work or while you’re browsing the web on public transport.

So, if you’re in need of a stylish new timepiece, why not take a look around our website? We should have just what you’re after.

Watches are of course practical items that come in handy when you need to glance at the time. However, these products aren’t only functional, they’re also symbols of style. So, before you choose your latest designer watches, you might want to think about what the items will say about you.

Perhaps you’re looking for a watch that will give you an air of authority at work. Dressing well for the office can help ensure that your colleagues have the best possible impression of you. Adding a bit of stylish bling to your wrist shows you’re on top of your game. On the other hand, maybe you’re keen to get a funky, unusual watch to show your fun and daring side off.

Out of the ordinary

Whichever product you decide to go for, the chances are it won’t have been fashioned using wooly mammoth tusks. However, one firm has taken the idea of novel watches to the extreme by using this rare material in its timepieces.

In a limited edition run of 25 items, Lang & Heyne has produced watches that feature this strange ivory. The tusks were preserved in the Russian permafrost for many thousands of years before they were discovered.

Not just for show

The ivory has not only been incorporated into the superficial elements of the watches. It has also been used in the internal structures and components.

Some people may well voice ethical objections to the products. After all, the use of other forms of ivory is now generally frowned upon because of the impact big game hunting can have on species like rhino and elephants. However, the watch makers noted that they do not mean any harm to elephants and they pointed out that the mammoth died over 10,000 years ago.

Budget busting

Unsurprisingly, given their unusual composition, these watches are not cheap. Indeed, they have gone on sale priced at $44,000 (£28,149).

If you’re on the lookout for eye-catching and interesting designer watches for men or women but don’t have this kind of money to splash out, don’t worry.

Take your pick

Here at Watches2u, we know that watches are much more than just timepieces. We appreciate the fact that they say a lot about the people wearing them and if you’re keen to make the right impression with yours, you shouldn’t struggle to find the perfect items on our website.

Our ladies’ – and gents’ – watches are excellent value for money, so you won’t have to break the bank to get what you’re after.

Think about your whole look

Before you go ahead and select your watch, it pays off to think about the overall look you’re aiming for. For example, some products are the perfect complement to designer suits, while others look better teamed up with some trendy sportswear.

Of course, there’s no need to restrict yourself to one watch. You might want to invest in a number of the items so that you’re free to change your style as and when you please depending on what you’re doing.

Watches are fantastic inventions, they allow us to stay organised and punctual, but also allow us to look stylish and fashionable at the same time. Watches can really finish off an outfit, but do you really want to be wearing the same watch with your jeans as you do with a suit? It is always good to have more than one watch, a casual one for daytime wear and for more relaxed occasions, and a dress watch to wear on those special evenings and events.

When choosing a watch suitable for everyday use, there are a few things to consider. An everyday watch should probably be a neutral colour: black, white or silver will complement any outfit and won’t clash with the colours you choose to wear. Bright or stand out colours on the watch will limit the clothes you’ll be able to wear, unless of course you like to stand out from the crowd!

Ensure that whichever watch you buy, it fits well. Choose a strap that is comfortable, whether that be leather, rubber or metal. Watches2U will gladly exchange any watch if you find it uncomfortable. If you choose to keep the watch, but it is a little big, any watch repairer will be able to remove links to ensure you get the best fit possible. There is no right or wrong wrist to wear your watch on, it is personal preference. Most people wear their watch on their non-dominant hand so it will not restrict their movements. It is best to have a think about what sort of situations you’re going to wearing your watch in; for example, if you need a watch to wear at work in an office, you may want to opt for a leather or steel strap. However, if you work in a manual job, a leather or metal strap may not be comfortable so a rubber strap may be more appropriate. Whatever you’re using your everyday watch for, ensure it is functional and durable to take on the task you need it for.

Everyday watches for men should be water resistant, not necessarily to any great depth (unless you’re planning on wearing your watch for scuba diving or swimming), but in case they are caught in the rain and for those accidental splashes of water. If you are planning on wearing your watch to swim in, ensure that it is water resistant to 100m; if you’re going to use it when scuba diving, then it should be water resistant to 200m. Never wear your watch in the shower or in hot water as the heat can loosen the seals which make the watch water resistant.

Choosing an everyday watch can be time consuming so note down what features you want such as date, timing functions, depth, colour of the face etc., and your preferred materials and if you make that your starting point, you’ll soon find your perfect watch. There is such a wide range of gents’ watches at Watches2U that you’ll be spoilt for choice.

Faux watches have flooded the market place and websites in recent years, and the number of people falling for these scams is growing as people just aren’t aware of a few simple steps to avoid these traps. This is a short guide on how to avoid buying a fake designer watch.

First of all, buy from a reputable seller such as Watches2U. A reputable website will display proper pictures of their stock, not just a generic brand photo, easily downloaded from the web. A genuine seller will not hesitate in giving you manufacturer’s warranty on your new watch, and will have an exchange service if the watch is faulty or damaged on arrival. They will also offer a returns or exchange service if you change your mind, providing the watch is sent back in its original packaging and hasn’t been worn within a certain time limit. The warranty will cover manufacturer defects and component parts for a period of time from the date of purchase. The dealer should also provide your watch in authentic packaging with all the information you need about your new watch.

Next, if a deal for a designer watch seems too good to be true, then unfortunately, it probably is. A genuine company such as Watches2U will give you the best, genuine product for the lowest price they can. If you find one that is cheaper, then alarm bells should be ringing and you should probably steer clear. Counterfeit watches are much less durable than their genuine counterparts and are more prone to breaking.

If you’re after a particular brand of watch, do your homework first. For example, if you’re looking for Emporio Armani watches or Police watches, check how much they normally sell for from the sellers you know and trust, then shop around. Many designer watches have a minimum price they can be sold for, so if you see one for much less than one on a reputable website, then you’re probably looking at a fake.
When looking at a watch online, for example on an auction site, many buyers don’t know what they’re looking for. By checking the loops on the strap, the ball and arrows and the bezel insert for imperfections or sign of damage, you can avoid making a costly mistake. Internet forums are a great place to check a seller’s validity. If they’re selling fake products, there will be people talking about it! Buying a designer watch from a well-known, reputable dealer such as Watches2U, is the only sure-fire way of knowing you’ve got the genuine product.

All brands strongly recommend buying your goods from genuine sellers, as they can guarantee the quality of the product, so remember, fake watches may be cheap and seem like a good deal at the time, but you won’t be so happy when your ‘designer’ watch turns up with a spelling mistake on its face or it breaks after a few wears. If you’re looking to invest in a designer watch, then always buy from a reputable dealer.

There was a time when wristwatches were seen as being nothing more than handy devices that told the time. Without doubt, that time has passed. Indeed, designer watches are essential fashion accessories these days, especially for men as they enable gents to look stylish in a cool and sophisticated way.

Therefore, if you’re looking for a present to get the special man in your life, a designer watch could well be the perfect option.  However, with so many designer watches for men now available, choosing one above all others can be a little difficult.  Still, if you do your homework and consider the following points carefully, you should be able to find a designer watch that will tick all of the right boxes.

Be complimentary
The first and most important aspect to get right is to ensure the designer watch you choose will compliment your man’s style and accurately reflect his personality. For instance, if your man likes gadget-type timepieces then make sure you buy a watch that has plenty of bells and whistles. Furthermore, if your fella has quite a reserved personality then avoid purchasing the chunkiest, most ostentatious watch you can find.

Find out his preferences
Another aspect you will need to consider is whether your man has a preference for a particular designer. Many leading fashion designers produce well-crafted timepieces these days so if your guy has a soft spot for the likes of Emporio Armani, Police, Ben Sherman or Diesel then be sure to look at their offerings first. Similarly, there might be some designer brands that your partner simply does not like, so be sure to find this out before you make any purchase. After all, you wouldn’t want to spend your cash on a great looking wristwatch only to return it some days later simply because it is from a designer that your man doesn’t favour.

Consider his active lifestyle
If your partner is an active sort of fella then the watch you buy will need to reflect this. Most designer timepieces these days are very robust and many of them are waterproof so your man can wear it in the shower after he has been out running or cycling. As well as being waterproof, many designer wristwatches are also water resistant. This means that your guy can continue to wear his watch even when he goes swimming or diving.

Once you have a rough idea of the kind of designer watch you’re after, the only thing left to do is buy it. But don’t just buy a designer watch from anyone – make sure you buy your gift from a reputable outlet like us here at Watches2u.com. All of our gents watches are 100% genuine and come complete with the manufacturer’s own warrantee so you can be sure that any watch you buy from us will be authentic, guaranteed and of the very highest quality.
