Debenhams has slashed the price of a watch that shoppers are calling "sophisticated" and "pure luxury." The GV2 Bari Diamond  Watch is now available with a staggering 97% discount. According to Debenhams, it was originally priced at £5,495 but has been marked down to just £183.75.

According to the online retailer, this timepiece boasts a "sophisticated rectangular mother-of-pearl dial" adorned with "eighteen glittering diamond indices." And comes complete with a "beautiful pumpkin crown" and a "diamond-cut bezel case." 

For those in search of a similar style, watch for personal indulgence or as a gift, there are other options to consider. The GV2 Padova Women's Watch is on offer at Secret Sales for £192.50, which is 93% off its regular price, reports The Mirror. 

Alternatively, Argos has the Sekonda Monica Women Two Tone Bracelet Watch for £64.99, and ASOS offers a silver version for £59.99.

A delighted Debenhams customer praised the discounted GV2 Bari Diamond Watch, exclaiming: "Pure luxury in a fantastic presentation box! Lovely in every aspect was so excited to open and even more excited to wear! It has really good weight to it and face is easy to read to tell exact time. Had several compliments on wearing."

A second enthused: "I absolutely love the watch, high quality, gorgeous finish."

A third commented: "This watch is beautifully made and although nothing like the proposed price I consider it a really attractive timepiece and certainly very pretty."

Another was pleasantly surprised: "Really nice watch for the money and can't believe how good it is."

A fourth shared their delight: "I'm in love with this watch, from the dial to the strap. The watch strap is so easy to use as it's a double fastening. Looks very good on. Thought I'd treat myself and was very pleased when it arrived. Comes in a very smart box with a certificate for the diamonds."

Some customers mentioned the need to adjust the strap for a better fit. One customer remarked: "Love the watch looks lovely on really pleased with it had to have a few links taken out of the bracelet as I've got skinny wrists but it's perfect."

Another noted: "My wife loves it [but] had to have one link taken out."

However, not all feedback was glowing, with one critic pointing out: "Nice watch but too thick and feels heavy on."

someone else added: "Very nice watch but extremely heavy and large bracelet. Had it adjusted by a jeweller."

Nonetheless, the majority of reviews were glowing. One satisfied customer stated: "Really nice watch, purchased for my wife and she loved it, comes with a warranty card and precious jewel card for authenticity."

Another enthused: "Received on time, a remarkable piece of jewellery, real quality through and through."
