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.
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.
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.
Very very very classy. Drooling already; I'm all about the big bold masculine wrist watches. For some odd reason I'm actually a wrist watch collector. Yeah, strange me! Nice watch Cassie
Oh hey! Another wrist watch collector – like Simi in the comment below. So how many do you have ?
Wow. DW is really nice. My dad has one too and he almost kills for it. I don't blame him though.

Lol! I can imagine.
I'm actually don't go out without my wristwatch and I really don't know why because I hardly even check the time lol. I think I'm just used to it and maybe because I really don't like my wrist being bare and all. It's funny that I can't find you on my snapchat again o. Like your username is there but can't view your stories.

LOL. That's because I haven't posted in a while maybe. I've even logged out of it biko, let me know the one that is doing me. My data is just finishing anyhow
I like men's watches too. They just seem cooler than female ones. I've never been into watches myself, because I figure I can always look at my phone. But last year I got hubby a Jord wood watch and I've been itching to get one for myself. I'll check out the DW ones to see if they have any that are my style.

The one time I forgot to wear my wrist watch,I almost ran mad.I don't think I can ever leave my wrists bare.I am so in love with watches especially ones with big frames that I just can't imagine forgetting it.My wrist will itch from discomfort n "bare-ness "lol
Anyways,that's a beautiful watch righ there.my kinda frame too.

lol itch from bareness. If I was the only one in the world there probably wouldn't be wristwatches because even the one time I had one I forget to put it on. I rather wear bracelets and bangles.
And believe me most people when wrist watches that don't work so they still end up using their phones to check what time it is or asking someone. Then you wonder why they got a watch on in the first place.

I swear these wrist watches are just everywhere and I can see why – the sophisticated simpleness of the design. One of those 'I can't shout' pieces.

I know right?! Everywhere.
Lol at "I can't shout pieces" . I get you though.
Love the watch! I've definitely noticed the internet buzz effect.
I prefer the classic leather time piece as I'm not really big on fancy watches.

I was going to wear a big watch for my wedding sef, but it looked slightly odd and I didn't want to buy a tiny watch, so I borrowed my friend's which was perfect! Afterall, you need something borrowed for the wedding yeah? I've been seeing the DW watch all over the gram! Hey folks at DW, if your're reading this I really love the pink and blue stripped one. Lol. Can't you just be nice and gift it to me?

Really?! That's interesting. I didn't know people collect wristwatches. So how many wrist watches do you have?
Since I lost my swatch, I haven't brought myself to get another wrist watch. This is simple and amazing.
I will love one for myself and will check them out. Less is more and thumbs up to the guys at DW for knowing this!
Awww sorry about your swatch. 🙁
I am a no wristwatch person. It just makes my hand itch or that's just what I believe. 😀

Hi Cassie,
Ah, I love the title of this post, clever pun! 🙂
The watch has a classic silhouette, very nice.
I love love love masculine wristwatches, atleast on other people. I've never owned a wristwatch. What I have done is snag from my mum's closet on a few occasions. But,I just end up fidgeting with it all day and drawing people's attention to my wrist. So I gave up.
