– Women's Square Bracelet Watch Bangle Set

TIME100 Women's Bracelet Watch Bangle Set I ordered the gold-coloured version with the white face of this watch and bangle, and they look like the versions pictured. The watch face is smaller than the photoshopped/enlarged version presented on the model in the images, and leans more towards standard size than oversized, bulky watches, which often look too large for most women. The slide and clip fastening bangle and square-cut crystals match the watch perfectly. The alloy chain link wrist strap is robust and durable. It's not too heavy. The quartz movement appears to be accurate. The box includes a handy utensil for unlinking the chain segments to adjust the sizing. This is a pin-style chain linkage. It comes in the fancy white leatherette gift box with a silk cushion for presenting the watch and the matching bangle. For the £50 price range, this watch and bangle are of decent quality. I like the design. It's a traditional style that hasn't changed much over the decades, because it's practical and functional without being too glitzy.

Although I much prefer white gold or silver, I found the unusual design of the watch face attractive so I thought I’d have a closer look. Positives: Arrived in gift box with watch and bangle displayed on a cushion. Very unusual and attractive face setting. One year warranty. Has a second hand. Battery not activated until plastic tag is removed. Negatives: Instruction leaflet is presented in tiny print and bears no resemblance to the watch. No mention of what metal the watch is made from. Very chunky watch. Very big wristband. No mention of what the tool provided is for. Sadly, the only thing that I find appealing about this watch and bangle set is the design of the watch face. I find them both gaudy and the suggestion to wear them together doesn’t appeal to me at all. I much prefer delicate, elegant jewellery and I’ve taken photos of the watch that I wear every day alongside both the yellow metal watch and bangle to give an idea of just how chunky they are. Of course, jewellery styles come down to personal preference and the fact that I don’t like this set doesn’t make it a bad product. However, there are things that definitely detract from the product; firstly the instructions don’t relate to the watch. They refer to watches with time, date, stopwatch and time measurement (whatever that is). The instruction leaflet is extremely difficult to read and somewhat irrelevant. I can’t find anything in the instructions or online description stating what metal the watch and bangle are composed of, which you may want to bear in mind if you have a metal allergy. I’m not sure if the tool provided is for removing links but there are no instructions for how to do so; I’d need to remove 4-5 of them because the watch just slips easily over my hand/wrist without undoing the clasp. If you like chunky jewellery or are looking for a gift for someone who likes chunky jewellery, then this set is probably worth a look. It’s not, however, for me and if I’d paid for this item, I’d be returning it.
