A Timely Perspective – Daniel Wellington Classic

I’ve been itching to blog a review of  my Daniel Wellington wrist watch ever since I got it. I scheduled this post for the end of the month but I make the rules, so I can break it right?

Okay, let’s dig in.

I’ll be honest with you here. I’ve never really been into accessories. And watches? They were the very least of my concern when it came to accessories. I haven’t owned one of my own (that I didn’t take from my mum’s closet) in the longest time now and I usually always forget to put on a watch as I head out, so I didn’t bother buying and wasn’t particularly interested in owning any.


That is, till I started spotting the Daniel Wellington wrist watch all over the internet. You’ve probably also been seeing this watch pop up all over Instagram and fashion blogs. Yes?


Now you might call it (I might call it that too, honestly) “the internet buzz effect” or just plain ol jumping on the bandwagon (and maybe a bit of wanting to also work with the brand too), but I really liked the look of their watches and of course, I didn’t mind owning one too! So I was delighted when the good people over at Daniel Wellington reached out to ask me if I’d love to experience one of their watches.

I went through their website and was spoilt for choice. But like almost everything else, I’m more drawn to masculine cuts so I ventured first into the male section of their site and picked one from their “classic range” – the classic reading 40mm wristwatch.



It arrived in the house back in Atlanta in about 10  days. At first, I didn’t hear anything from them and I was a bit doubtful about getting it on time seeing as I was going to be leaving for Nigeria. I emailed them my concerns and got tracking details almost immediately that quelled my concerns.


It came in a leather box that made me immediately fall in love. You know how I’m all about packaging and this one just oozed of class – I did an unboxing on snap chat ( @cassiedaves) when it arrived and got a few people asking where I got the watch from. Also In the box was an instruction manual, a warranty, and a spring removal tool to remove and replace the strap if you want. 

When I finally got to hold mine, I was glad to see that the buzz about the watch wasn’t just “hype”.

I really love the simple minimalist yet classy design of the watch, which is something the Daniel Wellington brand is well known for – simple, timeless and elegantly crafted watches.


My dad has been fighting me for this watch since I got it oh. It started with him wanting to buy it off me and then when I said No, he resorted to coming to ask me if he could wear it out every other day.
I think the Daniel Wellington watch would make a really good gift also.

For someone like me who only remembers that her wrist is bare when I look at a photograph and realize how empty my hand looks, I’ve been wearing this around lately.


So, just to prove my cousin wrong. I argued that in this era not a lot of people bother with wearing a watch because they can easily check the time on their phone.
Do you guys agree?
Please let me know if you’re a watch person. 
Also what type of wristwatches do you like?
Feminine floral or big bold ones?

Please share! And let’s connect.
