Gift shoppers have been left stunned after discovering a stylish men’s watch with £478 off. Debenhams has a series of tasty deals running ahead of the major shopping event of the year, Black Friday, with some of the most impressive discounts on watches. 

And one of the best of all is on the STÜHRLING Original Ultima 3960 Quartz 42mm Chronograph, a beautiful men’s watch that currently has 88% off, sending the price in a nosedive from £545 to £66.29. The timepiece comes with a range of colour options, including black, blue, light blue and rose gold. 

It features a chronograph function that allows you to measure elapsed time with ease, making it ideal for both everyday wear and athletic pursuits. The watch also has the handy inclusion of a date display and is water resistant up to 50 metres.

Buyers have been broadly very impressed to date:  One said: “Wonderful watch at (an) amazing price. Very happy and watch is gift for my son’s 30th birthday”

Another added: “I couldn’t believe the price of this watch when I saw it. I thought there was some sort of mistake. It did take a while for the watch to arrive (from Germany I think) but the quality of it is amazing. This is a Christmas present so I can’t comment much further but I can say it looks and feels amazing.”

Another was delighted: “Excellent product. A very nice looking watch which has attracted many compliments. Good quality. Definitely thinking of purchasing another.”

However, one buyer highlighted a potential flaw: “This is utter rubbish. When you pull out the crown to adjust the time it wobbles and feels like it is going to fall apart. The dial doesn’t look as blue as the photos. The bracelet is so light I was sure it wasn’t metal.”

Elsewhere, Amazon is also stocking a range of men’s watches in the run-up to Christmas, with the OLEVS Men’s Chronograph Watch, featuring a date dial, priced at £39.99. Argos also has a wallet-friendly option in the £19.99 Sekonda Men’s Blue Dial Stainless Steel Bracelet Watch.
