Debenhams has slashed the price of a ‘glamorous’ £1500 watch that shoppers say ‘looks expensive’ to just £120 – and it looks just like Cartier’s £8k Panthère watch
The right watch can be the accessory to end all other accessories. Eternally stylish, practical and easy to wear, they’re the perfect addition to any outfit that you want to make instantly look more polished and put together.
But with many watches costing a small fortune, it’s easy to think you need to splash some serious cash to add a decent watch to your collection. However, Debenhams’ current sale is here to prove otherwise, as it slashes the Stührling Original Vivreluxe 34mm Rectangle Quartz Watch from an eye-watering £1525 to just £120.

As well as saving £1400, the watch is a great timeless piece to add to your accessories collection. Its classic rectangular face and metal colourways means it’ll never go out of style, and its design is reminiscent of Cartier’s iconic Panthère de Cartier Small Steel and 0.23ct Brilliant-Cut Diamond Quartz Watch which would set you back a staggering £8050.
The Stührling Original Vivreluxe Quartz Watch has a metal bracelet strap with removable links so you can ensure it’s the right fit for your wrist. The rectangular shaped dial is surrounded by a crystal-covered bezel, and it’s made with quartz movement which makes sure it’s dependable and keeps time accurately.
The face also features inlaid crystals around the inside, with Roman numeral hour markers and a date display at the 6 o’clock position. It’s made from stainless steel, and is five ATM water resistant up to 50 meters, and you can choose from an all-silver colourway, a gold and silver combination, or rose gold and silver mixed metals.
You can get similar styles at Sekonda for an even more affordable price, with the Classic Ladies 22mm Colette Watch with Bracelet & White Dial just £54.99, whilst the Monica Women’s Quartz Watch is currently £41.99 down from £74.99. Both feature a rectangular face and bracelet style strap, with the Monica also featuring crystal inlays all around the face for some added sparkle.
Alternatively you could head to Abbott Lyon, where the Essence Silver 23 Watch is £149 and has a slightly squarer face, with a minimalist design that keeps it classic and timeless (excuse the pun). Currently the code TAKE15 will also get you 15% off, bringing it down to £126.65.
However the Stührling Original Vivreluxe Quartz Watch has gotten some great reviews from Debenhams shoppers. One wrote: “Glamorous watch, beautiful and look very expensive, lots of compliments from others.”
Whilst another said: “Absolutely stunning, looks like a luxury item. I wear it every day I never take it off. That’s how much I love it.”
The main complaint shoppers had about the Stührling Original Vivreluxe Quartz Watch was the size, with many reporting that the length of the strap is very long and requires adjusting. One said: “I love this watch it’s a lot nicer than the pictures show unfortunately it’s been at the jewellers over Christmas as the strap needs altering it’s huge I need at least 4 links taking out. But it is beautiful I would recommend it to anyone.”
Another agreed: “Beautiful watch. Despite my efforts, couldn’t see the actual size of the bracelet on the Debenhams add. Went with the good reviews and purchased item. On receipt, found it was far too big. Had to have 8 links removed in order for it to fit. Could have removed 9 but 8 was the maximum the jeweller could work on so be aware….this item is for ladies with chunky wrists. Dare I say massive!”
However others didn’t seem to mind this inconvenience, with one saying: “I absolutely love my new watch, its beautiful and feels luxurious and the quality is beautiful.”
