I actually first discovered these through several instagram influencers and was shocked they were so cheap haha I immediately bought them in gold and silver. I honestly would still buy them if the price was double what they cost.” —Chloe

Daniel Wellington
This watch is water-resistant, designed with a leather strap, and is guaranteed to get you a minimum of 9,000 compliments (per day).
Promising review: “I have three Daniel Wellington watches and love them all! This one in particular is extremely elegant. The gold is a really subtle rose gold, which I like.

This one in particular makes any outfit look instantly nicer. I’d highly recommend buying this watch if you want something simple, beautiful, elegant, and sharp.” —Neil Mejia
