Debenhams slashes watch that shopper 'wears instead of Rolex' from £690 to £101
For those looking for a present to give someone for their birthday, graduation or anniversary, a watch is always a solid choice. Provided you know what style the recipient prefers, a timepiece is a stylish and practical gift that will last someone for years to come.
While there are many luxury brands on the market, they also come with rather large price tags that many people can't afford outright. Thankfully, Debenhams has slashed the price of thousands of high end timepieces so more people can get the accessory they truly desire.
One stunning watch in the sale is the STÜHRLING Original Brigadier Quartz Chronograph 42mm Diver Watch. Normally retailing for £690, shoppers can now grab the eye-catching timepiece for £101.25 after a massive 85 per cent discount.
This Brigadier watch is characterised as a modern dive watch featuring a classic design. Powered by an accurate Quartz chronograph movement, this timepiece comes with a handy stopwatch and impressive water resistance of up to 100m - making this watch perfect for everyday wear and underwater challenges.
Along with luminous hands and indices to help read the time in poor lighting, the watch also comes with a coin edge bezel with an enhanced grip. Along with its versatile and durable design, the timepiece is finished off with an adjustable stainless steel bracelet.
Shoppers have four colourways to choose from, however prices do slightly vary. For those happy with the £101.25 price tag, shoppers can buy the timepiece with a silver bracelet, white dial and either a silver or blue bezel.

Along with a 10 ATM, this watch boasts a robust design and functional elegance. With three chronograph sub dials, this watch is powered by a Japanese Quartz movement.
For those happy to spend a bit more, Ernest Jones has slashed 49 per cent off the Emporio Armani Men's Blue Dial & Gunmetal Stainless Steel Bracelet Watc h. Normally retailing for £389, shoppers can now buy the watch for £195. This watch is said to provide the perfect balance between elegance and contemporary flair.
Back to the Brigadier watch, it currently doesn't have any reviews on Debenhams, but shoppers have left plenty on the Stuhrling website. Many reviewers were pleased with the quality of the watch as well as the design.
One five-star reviewer said: "I have been thinking about this watch for a while. I loved the look. But what about quality? When I received it I was really impressed. Good quality, great price. It has a real expensive look and feel. Love it."
With another adding: "I purchased this watch for my husband. I was hesitant because it's not an automatic but he loves it! He owns two Rolex and a Breitling so for him to wear this watch every day now says a lot! He already wants another! Great purchase!"
However, one shopper grumbled: "Great purchase, watch feels and looks great. Only snag is not being able to adjust the oyster bracelet because the screws are too small for my tools."
While another shopper wasn't overly impressed with the quality: "This is a nice homage piece, but definitely built down to a price. OK for the discounted price."
Despite this, one top reviewer said: "I own many different watches substantially more costly than my Stuhrling watch but none are as good value. It is both attractive and accurate and I will purchase more of these items in the coming months."
With a sixth reviewer adding: "This watch is a stunner! Much sharper in person than the pictures. The rich blue really pops against the bright white face. Very impressed with the watch!"

Celtic pounced on transfer trend in post Covid era and it's part of why Euro giants now love Scottish players
The Hoops dipped into Japan for the same reason European football's big guns now love a Scot Bjorn Hamberg believes the fallout from the Covid pandemic has forced European big guns to make Scottish football 's market a must-go port of call. The former Feyenoord assistant boss has watched a host of clubs look for tartan talent after traditionally turning their nose up at recruiting talent from these shores. He said: 'It's great see Scottish players now making a mark at clubs across Europe. It's a relatively new frontier and the Covid pandemic has been a factor in that. 'Clubs had to reassess how to do business and run their recruitment departments at a more sustainable level. 'A lot of these clubs had to look deeper into different markets and Scotland has become one of them where value for money can be found. 'It's similar to what Celtic did with the Japanese market – and they did amazingly well. "It has been too easy to target proven footballers and players for the here-and-now. 'Scouting for talent is now about having a belief you can find quality footballers anywhere in the world. 'The trend for British players moving abroad is now well established with the likes of Jude Bellingham and Trent Alexander-Arnold being Real Madrid players. 'You look back and see David Beckham moving to AC Milan and PSG – at the time it seemed unbelievable. 'Now it's far more commonplace and Scottish players are part of that trend as the lines are far blurrier with moves from country to country in Europe. ' Lawrence Shankland moved to Beerschot in Belgium a few years ago and is now a Scotland striker. 'Moves like that are now routine. Scott McTominay and Billy Gilmour have had an amazing season as title winners at Napoli. Josh Doig and Lewis Ferguson are doing well playing in Serie A.'

EXCLUSIVE Is THIS Britain's saddest seaside shopping centre? Locals say the once-bustling mall is now a 'ghost town' with just three shops left open and addicts prowling the precinct
A seaside resort's 'ghost town' shopping centre has become the latest casualty of a downward spiral which had seen the area plagued by drunks and vandals. Over the years, Scarborough in North Yorkshire, once known as Queen of the Watering Places, has seen many High Street names disappear forever. Once the main street was dominated by classy department stores such as W Rowntree & Sons, which had its own commissionaires (uniformed doormen), and Debenhams. Now, they have been replaced by vape shops, budget stores, secondhand and charity shops, and gift shops selling tat. Its Grand Hotel, once the resort's jewel in the crown, is now run down and caters to people wanting only the cheapest seaside breaks. Now, the Brunswick Centre, the once bustling shopping precinct unveiled in a blaze of glory in the 1980s, is just a shell of its former self. Only three shops remain and they, too, are due to close soon - and plans to reopen the site as a cinema and retail complex have been greeted with scepticism by locals. The Brunswick Centre, the once bustling shopping precinct unveiled in a blaze of glory in the 1980s, is now just a shell of its former self Pete Nendick, 56, was a contract cleaner at The Brunswick for years but lost his job when management changed and they made new arrangements. He said: 'The shopping centre looks terrible at the moment. I used to be a cleaner. here. I was born and bred in Scarborough. 'I know what it used to look like and how it is now. It used to be great. I remember coming here when I was little. 'You could get anything I here and it used to be heaving. Now you get a lot of drunks around here in the morning. 'There are addicts hanging around waiting for Boots [to open] first thing in the morning. I worked for an agency but was told in September that it is closing down and they are using their own cleaners. 'Towards the end, someone came in every day asking, "When is it closing? What is happening to it?" All I know is it is a case of "watch this space". 'I have been looking at the picture of [plans of] how it is supposed to look but believing is seeing. I am going to miss it if it does close down because I love coming here.' Jenny and Steve Bray, both 71, originally from Leeds, have just moved back to earby Bridlington, where Jenny's late parents lived, after 38 years in Australia. They decided to pop over to Scarborough for the day to check out the shops and were shocked by the state of the shopping centre. Jenny said: 'We remember when Debenhams was here. It was a great store. We used to come here to shop. 'So it is just such a shame. It is all very well having a cinema, but who goes to the cinema any more? 'We have seen a bit of trouble. We stayed in a hotel in Scarborough for a few weeks when we moved back from Australia. Plans to reopen the site as a cinema and retail complex have been greeted with scepticism Also looking around the derelict shops in disbelief were Colin and Sue Winnington, from Cheshire. They have been staying in Whitby and reckon it is now far superior to Scarborough as a tourist destination. Asked what they thought of the shopping centre, Sue, 80, replied: 'Not a lot. We were here a few years ago and it was nice. 'It is only two years since we have been here and we could not believe it. But I cannot see these precincts coming back. 'Our own local shopping centre has closed and they are going to build more flats, but we already have loads of flats. Nodding in agreement, Colin, 86, added: 'I doubt this redevelopment is going to happen. Online has been the demise of these places. 'Why get in car and drive miles, pay five pounds to park, and then have to pay top prices? 'Often they have not even got what you want but Amazon can deliver it to your doorstep the next day. 'It is a shame because closing shopping centres costs people their jobs but it is happening everywhere.' They had planned to book into the luxury Sands Sea Front self-catering holiday apartments in Scarborough but it was too expensive, so have decided to stay in Whitby instead. Sarah Wellard, 33, from Bridlington, said: 'I don't think they will do anything with this place however nice the pictures look. 'It is like a ghost town in here. One of my friends was over and said you don't want to go in there. But he did and could not believe it. 'It is everywhere, though. Everywhere is shutting down, and Bridlington is the same. I used to come to the Brunswick all the time. 'There used to be loads of shops here and it was great. Woolworths in Scarborough was great as well. You could always get a bargain. 'Scarborough is not as bad in the day as it is at night when all the p***heads come out. The redevelopment is supposed to be starting next year. 'I hope it turns out nice and a cinema would bring in a lot of people - provided it gets built and is not so expensive that the ticket prices scare everybody off. 'It is shame. It used to be very popular. But people do not want to go out to shop any more because there are too many morons around.' Wayne Owen, 40, from Sheffield, said: 'It is all going downhill in Sheffield, too. But Scarborough is a real dump. 'There are a lot of pound shops in Scarborough and a hell of a lot of charity shops. It is nothing like when I went to the seaside as a kid.' Gesturing at the shuttered shops, Alexander Robson scoffed: 'What shopping centre? 'If the cinema opens and we get new shops, it might bring the place back to life. We will have to wait and see what happens. 'I remember coming here as a kid with my dad. I spent way too much time in Toyland and my dad spent way too much money. Now it is all gone.' The 130,000sq ft mall now attracts only a handful of shoppers who wander aimlessly around the lower floor with nothing to do but leave again. Only three shops remain - New Look, which closes on September 5; Retail Phone Access, which is holding a closing down sale and shuts on August 17, and Next, which is also due to close for good though no date has been set. Scarborough Group International, a leading property regeneration and placemaking specialist, and owner of the Brunswick, announced towards the end of last year that the centre will be renamed Square One (SQ1). It has also announced plans for extensive redevelopment works that aim to see it transformed into a vibrant, leisure-led destination including an Odeon multiplex. However, locals are taking the idea with a pinch of salt. Council bosses have been struggling to attract a new cinema to the resort for nearly 20 years and so far the attempts have come to nothing. More stores closed at Christmas - including Clinton Cards, and the flagship Holland & Barrett, which left its prime site next to the mall's entrance and moved to a new High Street site 100m away. Outside, the resort's main Westborough shopping street is heaving with shoppers who said the demise of the Brunswick was symptomatic of the decline of the town centre in general. The former historic Post Office now stands derelict, covered in bird droppings since it was relocated inside WH Smith's. The town's Stephen Joseph Theatre remains a vibrant attraction at the top of the town - but just around the corner are graffiti daubed streets with day-time drinkers, run down houses and bedsits, and shabby boarded-up buildings. Ironically, the town's former Atlantis swimming pool, now a derelict site on the North Bay, which has barriers around the empty space - is also promising to be the site of the town's new cinemas.
