Debenhams is an ideal place to look if you’re searching for a luxurious Valentine’s Day gift that won’t break the bank. There are dozens of watches reduced across the online store that look expensive but cost less than their normal three or four-figure prices.
The offer is a perfect chance to snag a thoughtful gift that will stand the test of time. One standout deal is the STÜHRLING Original Forte 3953 Quartz Watch, available for £67.50 compared to its usual price of £475.
This stylish timepiece, available in both black and blue face options on a stainless steel body, boasts a “bold and modern design” that has been fashionably relevant for decades. Described as “perfect for anyone looking for a reliable timepiece”, the watch has captured the hearts of many buyers.
The STÜHRLING Forte 3953 is the epitome of versatility and style. Its sleek appearance is enhanced by the stainless steel link bracelet, which adds an air of sophistication. This makes it perfect for dressing up for special occasions or working alongside everyday wear.
Reviews of the watch are overwhelmingly positive, reports the Mirror. One satisfied customer shared: “A classy timepiece at an affordable price that’s versatile and can be worn with any outfit.”

Another added: “I am absolutely thrilled with the watch, classy and looks beautiful quality.” A third customer said: “I really like the quality and detailing of the item. I feel it is very good value for money too.”
Meanwhile, another wrote: “Great quality watch. The strap was very big, so I took (it) to the jeweller to have (it) adjusted. Now feels balanced on the wrist.” However, not all feedback was glowing, as some had less favourable experiences to note. One buyer cautioned: “Took ages to come, and when it did come it was the wrong colour.”
And, on the STÜHRLING official website, one buyer mentioned one a minor gripe. “I love everything about the watch except for maybe the lume, which isn’t horrible, but isn’t great either,” they said. The product description claims that the dial features “luminescent hands and markers” that are meant to make it “easy to read in any lighting conditions”. For some, it seems, the strength isn’t perfect.

For those still on the lookout for the perfect timepiece, especially with Valentine’s Day just days away, other alternatives are available online. On Amazon, the discounted Tommy Hilfiger Analogue Multifunction Quartz Watch is available at £126, reduced from £179.
Also, Next offers several budget-friendly choices below £100 such as the Sekonda Mens Midnight Analogue Silver Tone Watch priced at £90. There’s also the affordable Next Gun Metal Tone Pattern Bracelet Watch at a modest £50.
