Debenhams reduce £720 watch to £86 so 'beautiful' it gets shoppers 'several compliments'
Significant sales on high ticket items such as luxury watches could see shoppers saving hundreds of pounds if they know where to look. The Debenhams watch sale is a smart place to start, with incredible reductions on a number of time pieces, including from top-rated brand STÜHRLING Original.
Shoppers can save an impressive £633.75 off the StarSea Ladies' Quartz Fashion Diver Watch with Stainless Steel Link Bracelet in a deal that reduces it from £720 down to £86.25 - a saving of 88%. It's such a popular offer that two colours have already sold out, but a chic black and stylish blue are still available to snap up.
Now priced at less than £87, the watch makes an ideal gift for someone special, or a savvy time to invest in an accessory that should last a lifetime. Those that have never ordered from Debenhams before may be reassured by a customer who described the watch as 'beautiful' going to to say: "Well packaged, reasonable delivery time, as described."
The StarSea Quartz watch features a sleek 39mm case and a coin edge bezel atop a crystal-studded dial. It makes quite the statement, but is designed for both elegance and functionality, being water resistant up to 10 ATM and complemented with a link bracelet band. Reminiscent of a starry night sky, it's an unusual watch that shoppers say has garnered them 'several compliments on it already'.
For a cheaper option, the H Samuel sale is well worth a browse. The Sekonda Ladies' Grey Chronograph Dial Two Tone Bracelet Watch has been reduced from £79.99 to £40. It boasts rose gold and silver detailing, as well as a face adorned with sparkling crystals that sets it apart from the rest.
Amazon also have a number of designer watches on sale from London based brand Radley. The Women's Gold Plated Alpine Genuine Leather Strap Quartz Analogue Watch is 33% off, down to £39.99.
Nabbing the StarSea watch as a treat for themselves, one person wrote: "Fell in love with this watch online. Treated myself as a gift to me for my approaching 'BIG' birthday. So pleased when it arrived - it really is lovely. Comfortable to wear." The striking green band and dainty gold detailing gives it a sophisticated finish.
Another said: "Really pleased with watch works well looks good and good price arrived quickly as well." But, this wasn't the case for someone else, and they found the delivery and appearance of the watch disappointing, writing: "Took over a month to arrive finally received the item after sending a couple of emails to customer service. The item is not as vibrant as it looks in the picture. The blue face is rather dull in reality."
Focusing on practicality, a pleased shopper shared: "A beautiful heavy watch very high quality and keeps time excellently." Shoppers can pick up the StarSea Ladies' Quartz Fashion Diver Watch for £86.25 on the Debenhams website.

Gold hits five-week peak on trade jitters, lower bond yields
July 22 (Reuters) - Gold climbed to a five-week high on Tuesday, drawing strength from trade uncertainty and weaker U.S. bond yields as investors continue to eye U.S. President Donald Trump's August 1 tariff deadline. Spot gold rose 0.6% to $3,415.61 per ounce by 1414 GMT, hitting its highest since June 16. U.S. gold futures were up 0.6% at $3,428.10. The yield on benchmark U.S. 10-year notes fell to a near two-week low, making non-yielding bullion more attractive. "Trade uncertainty is prompting some safe haven demand. The U.S. has got several trade deals in the works and there's rumors that the EU and the U.S. might not be able to come to an agreement or certainly are not anywhere close yet," said Jim Wyckoff, a senior analyst at Kitco Metals. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Tuesday said he would meet his Chinese counterpart next week, suggesting a possible extension of an August 12 tariff deadline. He added that the U.S. is poised to announce "a rash of trade deals" with other countries. Meanwhile, European Union diplomats hinted that the EU is looking at broader counter-measures against the U.S. as prospects for a trade agreement dwindle. Investors are also positioning ahead of next week's Federal Reserve meeting. While the Fed is expected to hold rates steady, markets are eyeing a potential rate cut in October. Gold, traditionally considered a hedge during times of uncertainty, also tends to do well in a low-interest rate environment. Bessent on Tuesday also said there was no need for Fed Chair Jerome Powell to step down immediately, a day after calling for a review of the central bank as an institution. Meanwhile, Fed Vice Chair Michelle Bowman underscored the importance of the central bank's independence amid rising pressure from Trump to lower borrowing costs. Spot silver lost 0.1% to $38.89 per ounce, platinum added 0.2% to $1,440.75 and palladium declined 0.1% to $1,262.75.

Savers rush to offload gold as price hits all-time high
A record number of investors have sold their gold back to the Royal Mint as the metal's price continues to hit all-time highs. Despite rushing to the safe haven asset during the geopolitical uncertainty of recent years, pushing prices to record highs of more than £2,600 in April, more investors than ever are choosing to offload the asset. The value of the gold bullion coins sold back to the Royal Mint increased by 55pc year on year between April and June, resulting in significant gains for investors. One investor made £70,000, having bought capital gains tax-free gold coins in October 2024, when the price was £1,972.40 and sold in June 2025, when gold was valued at £2,447.74. Investors increased their selling across all precious metals offered by the Royal Mint, with more individuals than ever also offloading their silver and platinum. The Royal Mint buys back gold bullion coins at 96pc of the live gold price, according to the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA), and will buy back the silver and platinum it offers for 90pc of the price at the time of the sale. However, purchases of bullion coins in gold, silver and platinum were also buoyant, raking in the second-highest quarterly revenue ever for the Royal Mint, and more than double that in the same period in 2024. Gold, silver and platinum bullion coins produced by the Royal Mint are exempt from capital gains tax for UK residents as they are considered legal tender, while gold coins also benefit from VAT exemption. It was not only gold that had a record quarter performance. Silver prices rose above £27 per ounce for the first time since 2011, with sales increasing 51pc in the first quarter compared to the same time in 2024. Platinum sales also increased by 188pc. Stuart O'Reilly, of the Royal Mint, said: 'This quarter demonstrated a remarkable evolution in UK precious metals investing. We're seeing strategic behaviour from investors to rebalance portfolios and rotate into silver and platinum.' The Royal Mint confirmed to The Telegraph that a record number of investors had sold their gold, silver and platinum back to the company, but could not comment on the specific figures. Adrian Ash, director of research at BullionVault, explained that gold sales have been on the rise for a while. He said that between the summer of 2023 and March this year, investors using the platform sold more than they bought every quarter. Russ Mould, of AJ Bell, said: 'Gold bugs will see this as the way to further currency debasement, and the road to more money printing to render the debt even vaguely manageable. 'Others may at least think about a portfolio rebalancing to ensure they do not become over-exposed to the metal, if they already have some.' The Telegraph reported in April that one savvy investor had made almost £100,000 in just seven days, after buying $2m (£1.48m) worth of gold bullion from a mobile app. The anonymous investor purchased 20.44kg of gold on April 7, when the commodity was priced at $3,043 an ounce. A week later, the price of the precious metal had soared to $3,229 an ounce, meaning their $2m investment was now worth an extra $122,232. However, the high prices could push gold out of reach for the average investor. Analysis of US Federal Reserve data by AJ Bell earlier this month found that the average US worker would need to work for 105 hours to buy one ounce of gold – more than two weeks' labour. This compares to just 12 hours in the early 1970s, before Richard Nixon broke up the Bretton Woods agreement that pegged the US dollar to the precious metal.
