Stuhrling Original Lady Gatsby Swiss Quartz Watch

Rating

I have been wanting a nice watch with a black band for a while and have not found one that suits until now. Wow, am I ever glad that I waited. This watch is so much nicer than it appears in the photo. It is well made and quality throughout. It is a nice sturdy weight and the leather band is already softening up after only wearing it once. the face appears a silver/pearl color with lots of detail along with the great blue numbers and markers. I wear my ebel almost every day but this one may be my new everyday watch. I think that it will hold up for that type of daily wear. This is a great bargain price for the swiss quartz. Shipping was fast. The packaging was a nice steuhrling box. The clasp takes a little time...you may need help to pull the strap through the clasp and to hook it, otherwise it is a great watch. I love it and will buy this brand again.

This is my second Stuhrling Original, and I have to say that I love it every bit as much as the first one! The surgical grade stainless steel case and thick leather band look to be very durable, while quality artistic details make this watch really stand out. The face's wonderful textured 'sunray' is complemented by its numerals and markers, which are embossed, not printed on. Plus the case back is screwed down properly, not merely snapped in, so the water-proof seal will likely remain intact for the life of the piece. The styling, too, is quite pleasing, vintage-y, yet contemporary and clean... All in all, a lot of watch for not a lot of money!

I purchased this watch as a Mother's Day gift for my wife. She loves the style and the colors. Comes with an additional year warranty if you register the watch. Good value and product.

I'm pleased with the watch. I think that it is a good everyday watch that has a simplistic elegance. The face is easy to see at a glance & the numbers have a metallic blue sheen to them when observed in certain lighting, black in others. The band is high quality, strong yet comfortable. It holds it shape well after it has been removed & shows no signs of wearing after a month of daily use. The only thing that I do not like about the watch is that the face of the watch does not sit flush against the top of my wrist. It's a comfort & an aesthetic quirk that personally bothers me but which I can live with.

If you want to be (or consider yourself to be) a thrifty trendsetter then this watch is for you. This watch is for women who like the quirky, funky fashions of Betsey Johnson but aren't particularly fond of her (latest) oversized timepieces. This watch is conservative enough for your business suit yet hip enough to wear with your sexy jeans, cute t-shirt and hot pumps. The crystal is bubble-shaped and the color of the dial & watch hands is closer to cobalt (but I don't mind because blue is my favorite color); however the showstopper is the clasp! My friends saw my watch & thought it was an old-fashioned buckle--until I removed the watch from my arm! When my friends saw that the I opened the clasp by squeezing the buttons on the sides, they were speechless. At first glance I thought the clasp would be difficult to manuever (sp) but it only took me a hot two minutes to figure it out. In fact it took me longer to open the package than to adjust the clasp. (Sidebar: I like gadgets so working the clasp was no challenge.) The leather watchband is thick and stiff but it becomes malleable over time. Overall this watch is worth this price; you will not be disappointed. Besides, in this economy, who wants to pay several hundred (or several thousand) dollars for a blinged-out timepiece when you can hold on to what's left of your loot & still make a fashion statement for a song? Ladies, if you want to stand out from the crowd buy this watch.
