I was buying myself Christmas presents on amazon and looking at watches, asked a few people for recs and they said DW. when I searched amazon had a St. Mawes on sale for $86 regular $229 and it said 1 left in stock so I rushed and bought it.



did I do a good job? its rose gold and 40mm, the more I look at it the more I want the silver, which I also saw for around $90

I was looking at a fossil and the person I asked said don't get a fossil. Are they bad now or something?

Nothing is classier than a white face with gold hands. IWWI

It's considered a fashion watch in the watch community but it's simplicity makes it a great looking watch. Probably overpriced for a simple quartz but wear what makes you happy. I think it looks great.

Sorry, but it's just a standard Quartz fashion watch. But if you like how it looks and it stood out to you, wear it. It does look nice.

Also, you can get the same exact quartz watch on alliexpress with or without the logo for like 10 bucks. Huge markup on fashion watches.

For $90 in that style I don't think you can beat that. I know a ballin' lawyer who wears that one.

Now get a Seiko SKX007 for the weekend.

The D is backwards, should have been heavily discounted for that kind of flaw.

Ehhh...

Get a Hamilton...

Or Shinola

That DW looks like a proctologists watch, a dude that sticks his hand up asses all day.

I don't wear a watch often but when I do it's a vintage. I have a wittnauer that I'm partial to.

Yeh the "D" is backwards on the face, so don't get overly excited.

But congrats on telling time without your phone!

It's a $10-15 quartz watch Daniel Wellington slapped their logo on and sold it to you "on sale" for almost a $100.

You may like it and that may be all that matters to you. But either way, you've started a thread over a $10-15 watch. Congrats.

I think if I have to go quartz, at that price range I'd be looking at something from Orient, Seiko, Citizen, etc.

Here's one from Citizen:

ETA: Also 40mm and has a cheaper silver case option.
ETA2: EMAIL5 promo code takes another $5.00 off.

It's a classic design that works well. Like others have said, I think it's overpriced at $230 for a quartz fashion watch, but you got a decent deal on it at $80. $50 would be more of a "sale" price on something if it were priced reasonably originally.

Too dainty. Step it up for your silver one and get the original. NOMOS Tangomat, $3300.

I don't know much about this brand, but always cross shop these kinds of watches on Ebay. I got a Stuhrling for half of what Amazon wanted on ebay.
