Something that both myself and my husband love is a watch. They can really make a statement and add to an outfit. Whether it is just day to day wearing, or for a night out.
You will know by now, how much I do love a watch from previous posts. When Engravers Guild contacted me to work with them, to review a one of their watches I could not refuse.

My Opinion
As I already said I do love watches, well any jewellery. I loved everything about this watch from the packaging to the watch itself. I have been wearing it daily since I have received it. The strap is comfortable and the watch sits great and keeps great time. Also easy to read the time, unlike some watches I have had in the past.
