Debenhams has slashed prices on two Stuhrling watches by up to 92 percent ahead of Christmas, reducing a women's luxury timepiece from £1,525 to £120 and a men's classic watch from £595 to £69.
The STÜHRLING Original VivreLuxe 34mm Rectangle Quartz watch features a rectangular silhouette with crystal detailing and a sparkling bezel. The silver model costs £120, while gold and rose gold versions are priced at £129 and £135 respectively. The same watch sells for £552 on STÜHRLING's own website.
Customer reviews on Debenhams' website give the women's watch a 4.6-star rating. One buyer wrote: "I absolutely love my new watch, it's beautiful and feels luxurious and the quality is beautiful." Another described it as: "[...] A real statement piece. Have been tempted to buy others by the same maker as it is so well made."
Mixed reactions on pricing
Some shoppers questioned the discount's authenticity. One reviewer noted: "It was advertised as originally priced at £1K plus, now down to the unbelievable cost of just over £100. Once I received it, I looked on the STÜHRLING website and it wasn't discounted, it was the same price online."
Another criticized a design detail not shown in product images: "In the pictures, it doesn't show the red bead on the dial, which makes it look cheap. Not impressed with the watch. [...]"
Men's watch sees similar reduction
The Stuhrling Original Rasa Men's Classic Quartz Date Watch features a 40mm silver-tone alloy case, white dial, and leather strap. Debenhams describes it as combining "functionality with style, making it an ideal accessory for any occasion". The watch averages 4.4 stars from customers and sells for £95.95 on Amazon.
Positive reviews praised its appearance. Chrissie wrote: "Bought as a Christmas present for my husband. He was delighted with it. It is a very smart watch, with a lovely leather strap - just perfect for him." Patty called it "a steal".
Critical feedback focused on comfort. Rhys noted: "Looks great but it is incredibly uncomfortable to wear. The watch doesn't sit nicely on the wrist. This is because of the way the back of the watch is shaped and the fact the crown is so large." Ray cautioned: "Not the quality I was expecting, so don't expect an expensive watch at a bargain price.
