Vivienne Westwood's ‘elegant and classy' watch has been slashed by over £140
If you've been looking to splurge on a timeless designer piece, now's your moment. Vivienne Westwood's chic Bloomsbury watch, which shoppers have praised for being 'elegant and classy,' has just had a major price drop of over £140 in Amazon's Prime Day sale.
It's the kind of accessory that elevates everything from everyday basics to evening looks, and with such a huge discount, it's the perfect chance to nab one for your collection.
Originally priced at £300, this designer watch is now £153.53, which is a huge 49% off.
Designed with on-trend gold coloured stainless steel, it's the perfect mix between edgy and elegant that Vivienne Westwood is known for.
The 35mm case gives it a bold, statement feel without being too chunky, while the gold-tone dial and Roman numerals add just the right amount of glam. Finished with the brand's iconic orb detail and powered by a quartz movement, it's a watch that feels just as high-quality as it looks.

With an average 4.4-star rating, shoppers have been praising this watch for its elegant look and non-bulky design. One happy reviewer wrote: "It is so gorgeous and fits me perfectly. When I put in on, my mom was so jealous and wanted me to get her one to. It has a slim design and is not bulky. Definitely makes you feel and look elegant and classy. So worth the money."
And a second added: " Beautiful watch which I adore wearing. Very classic and classy. I have average to slim wrist and had to have a link taken out. Otherwise, really happy with purchase." A third said: "Really good watch and elegant looking".
Not everyone was impressed, however, with one shopper in particular noting their disappointment with the strap. They wrote: "The strap was a little disappointing, thought it would be more 3d, but was flatter than expected".

The Coach & Horses Inn, located on Caerwent's main street, is on the market for £825,000. According to the listing, the property consists of a collection of one and two storey buildings, with a mix of public areas, letting rooms, and owner's accommodation. Set in the historic village of Caerwent, the inn sits just off the A48, around five miles west of Chepstow and eleven miles east of Newport. (Image: Christie and Co via Rightmove) Caerwent is known for its Roman heritage, with what the listing describes as "some of the best-preserved Roman walls in Northern Europe." The location is said to benefit from access to local attractions such as Chepstow Racecourse, golf courses, and nature reserves. Transport links include the M4 motorway and Caldicot train station, which is approximately two and a half miles away. (Image: Christie and Co via Rightmove) The main building contains a tap room at the front, which leads into a lounge area with mixed seating and a woodburning fire. The lounge is described as being popular with both diners and drinkers. A restaurant, with air conditioning, overlooks the rear garden and is also used as a function suite for weddings and other events. (Image: Christie and Co via Rightmove) The restaurant is said to accommodate around 100 covers.

Summer discounts at Amazon, Walmart and other retailers aren't always as deep as they look
Summer discounts at Amazon, Walmart and other major retailers aren't always as deep as they seem. A smattering of markdowns during the latest round of sales events was preceded by price hikes, an NBC News analysis of e-commerce pricing shows. The NBC News Price Tracker has been following a selection of household items sold online by major retailers. The basket of goods includes everything from dishwashers to running shoes and headphones — items that aren't bought as frequently as groceries but are common enough to attract shoppers during heavily advertised seasonal promotions. Of 178 tracked items at Amazon, Walmart and Best Buy, at least two dozen saw price increases in the weeks before each of the three retailers' sales events kicked off. The price fluctuations come as consumers remain sharply more pessimistic than they were this time last year, with many hunting for bargains after months of executives' and economists' warnings about tariff-fueled price increases. Several items rose in price the week leading up to Amazon Prime Day (July 8-11), then fell once the sale started. The Keurig K-Duo coffee maker was priced at $199.99 until late June, then rose about 9% to $219.99 in the weeks before Prime Day. Its price was slashed to $139.99 during the Prime Day sale — a more than 36% discount but only 30% lower than the earlier level. The Cannon EOS R50 camera, which started at $799 in the weeks leading up to Prime Day, went up to $879 the week before Friday, July 4, and is now down to $749. The change turned what would have been a roughly 6% discount into a nearly 15% markdown. 'Amazon consistently offers the lowest prices across the widest selection of products, and we continue to meet or beat prices versus other retailers across the vast selection of products in our store,' a spokesperson for the company said. Best Buy increased some prices in the run-up to its Black Friday in July Sale (July 7-13), too. A Yamaha outdoor speaker that started at $104.99 jumped nearly 43% to $149.95 the week before the promotional event kicked off, only to return to $104.99 during the sale. An Anker charging dock spiked to $79.99 a little more than a week before the retailer's sale, when its price was cut by 20% to $63.99 — the same level as in May. In fact, the device went as low as $52.99 at certain points in both late May and late June. A Best Buy spokesperson said the speaker was priced at $104.99 for the last several months, aside from a two-day period when it was unintentionally reset to its regular price before being lowered again on July 3. The charging dock has been on clearance at $63.99 for at least a month, the spokesperson said, adding that neither item — nor three others that NBC News identified with similar price moves over roughly the same period — were part of Best Buy's July sale. Walmart made its own price increases for some items ahead of the Walmart Deals event (July 8-13), though the handful of hikes NBC News identified among the 74 Walmart-sold items in the Price Tracker occurred in May or June, rather than immediately before the summer sale. This Barbie Dream Camper set started at $65, increased to $99.99 weeks before Walmart Deals week, and fell back to $65 during the sale. A Pelonis oscillating fan, which started at $26.42, jumped to $34.99 in early June. During Deals week, it dropped to $28.38. Even an inexpensive Bic multipurpose lighter selling for $3.52 in May jumped to $4.99 in June. During the week of Walmart Deals, it returned to $3.52. A Walmart spokesperson said the company's July promotions offered 'incredible value on thousands of items' and that its 'commitment to everyday low prices extends beyond our deals events.' Walmart doesn't control the prices of the many products listed by third-party sellers on its site, the spokesperson said. Several Amazon products monitored by the Price Tracker also saw spikes beginning in May and June to levels that fell only just before Prime Day. These pricing shifts are nothing new. Retailers have been criticized for such practices for many years and typically say they constantly tweak prices to stay competitive with one another and respond to shifting consumer demand. 'Many, but not all, merchants increase prices right before the sale begins just to drop them back down to the same discounts they'd been at just a few days prior,' said Samantha Gordon, deals editor at Consumer Reports, where she said these moves are also turning up in the outlet's own price tracker. 'This can make it look like you're getting a better-than-normal deal when it's really just the everyday sale price,' she said. 'The best way to know how much you're really saving is to check prices at least two weeks before the sale starts.' The price spikes NBC News identified weren't across the board. Most of the tracked items' prices stayed flat ahead of the summer sales events, rather than climbing beforehand. It's also true that the Price Tracker zeroes in on a minuscule sample of e-commerce purchases at just five large retailers, each of which sells a vast range of products both in stores and online. But it isn't hard to find evidence of price jumps in the run-up to summer discounting periods on other retail price-tracking platforms, too. Keepa, which tracks Amazon's prices, found a pair of JBL noise-canceling headphones listed for $129.95 in the last couple of weeks of June. They jumped to $149.95 on July 3 before dropping to $99.95 for Prime Day. CamelCamelCamel, which also tracks Amazon, shows a Ninja air fryer that jumped up to $129.99 from $100 just before Prime Day, before falling to $89.99 during the sales event. The appearance of deep price cuts fueled a surge in consumer spending. U.S. retail e-commerce sales exceeded $24 billion from July 8-11, Adobe analysts said Saturday, a more than 30% jump from the same period last year that 'sets a new benchmark for the summer shopping season.' Purchases surged across key product categories reflected in NBC News' Price Tracker, with online sales of apparel rising 250%, appliances up 112%, electronics up 95% and home improvement items up 76%, Adobe found. Retailers successfully 'leaned into discounts to drive growth' among price-sensitive shoppers, the analysts said — so much so that many consumers 'traded up' to higher-ticket items that they'd forgo on an ordinary day. The share of purchases made up by the priciest items rose 20% during the summer sales period from typical levels this year, according to Adobe, with even steeper gains among top-shelf products in categories such as appliances (up 36% over average levels), sporting goods (up 30%) and furniture (up 28%). But as NBC News reported during the last fall's holiday shopping season, consumers who miss out on major retail promotions can still find plenty of discounts year-round. 'Prices rise and fall due to changing conditions,' noted shopping expert Trae Bodge, not just due to planned sales events. 'Because dynamic pricing exists, I suggest that shoppers research price histories so they time their purchases accordingly.'

Michelle Keegan uses this portable Amazon fan to keep cool while in Bulgaria
If you're looking for ways to battle the heat this summer, take note as Michelle Keegan shares the portable Amazon fan she's been using to battle temperatures in Bulgaria As temperatures continue to rise across the UK, we're all looking for affordable ways to keep cool. And actress Michelle Keegan may have shared just the ticket. Giving fans an insight into her filming experience in Bulgaria, Michelle revealed she's been using this handheld portable fan to battle the summer heat. And we think we've found the one she's been swearing by this summer. Though it isn't clear which model exactly Michelle was using in the Instagram photo, it looks just like this TUNISE Handheld Fan in Black, which is currently up for grabs on Amazon for under £20. This Amazon Handheld fan looks just like the one Michelle used. It boasts a relatively small space, which makes it ideal for carrying in your hand, around your neck on a lanyard, or storing in your bag while you're on the move. It features a 90-degree foldable design that means it can also be propped on a table or desk to keep you cool while you work or sleep, completely hands-free. This portable fan retails for a wallet-friendly £16.99 and is available in a wide range of colourways, including Michelle's choice of black shade. Touted as ultra-quiet, this handheld fan boasts six adjustable speeds. The wind speed can be gradually increased from 1 to 5, depending on how cold you want the air. The sixth speed simulates a natural wind, ensuring you can keep cool with a less intense, gentle breeze. This handheld fan has a long-lasting battery life and a rechargeable 4000mAh large-capacity battery. It can work continuously for 4-18 hours (depending on the speed setting. Plus, it recharges super fast, only taking 1.5 hours to fully charge. Promising to to suit any busy day, whether you're getting your hair done on set like Michelle, heading to the beach, working in an office or travelling on a train, this fan is set to last all day - and if it's charge does run out, it's convenient to replenish its battery life with a simple portable charger or a quick plug in while you're out and about. Boasting an impressive 4.6 out of 5-star rating on Amazon, with over 8600 reviews, this fan has amassed plenty of praise from satisfied customers. One thrilled buyer beams: "This fan has been a lifesaver whilst pregnant! I took it on holiday with me, immediately used it in the airport as security was long and no air con before getting through to departures, used it in bar areas, outdoors on the beach, round my neck to carry it, and then on my return I'm able to pop it on desks at work when needed as it folds to accommodate being on sides." They go on to add: "The charge lasts well on levels 1-3 goes much quicker on the higher functions. I love how easy it is to use and it's definitely portable but powerful! It's pretty quiet depending where you are too and the function where you can use it as a powerbank in a pinch was brilliant. Cannot recommend this fan enough!" Another happy shopper raves: "Very happy with this fan - I've bought a number of different fans over the years, and while all are good, I realised this one was the best when I was comparing them all in terms of noise, wind speed / impact, and overall design / look / functionality etc. This fan has 6 settings, and is less noisy than the others, but probably the best airflow. What I noticed about this fan is that the airflow goes directly into your face, whereas some other fans can sort of fan the air around the side of your face, but not right into your face - so that was a big plus for this fan." They continue: "Also, I love the sleek design of this fan as well as the colour. Also a great size and sturdy (while also flexible when moving the handle), and the battery charge life also seems great. It's also great that it tells you the percentage of battery left, as other fans often just have a simple 3 bars - whereas this fan has the exact percentage so easier to know how much you truly have left. Very happy, thanks! Will probably be buying a second one soon!" And a third chimes in: " This fan is AWESOME. I used it on a recent holiday to Africa and it worked perfectly and was very effective at keeping me very cool (I wish I had bought 2 as my relatives kept borrowing fan was that good). Once fully charged it lasted me the whole day and I would usually leave it to charge overnight. It's a great, sturdy little fan and you should definitely get it." For other portable fan options, Amazon has plenty of best-sellers up for grabs for under £20, including this Jsdoin Hand Held Fan for £17.99 or this TopTrend1 Portable Fan for £11.97. If you'd prefer to shop elsewhere, check out this pick from B&Q which retails for £10.99, or head over to Marks & Spencer to find this Rechargeable Handheld Travel Fan for £10.
