The Phoolosopher
I nearly bought my first self-winding watch today from Goldsmiths. Having tried on and become quite satisfied with the look and feel of this Fossil Chronograph, it soon became clear it was battery powered even though the details on their website stated otherwise - at least, the salesperson seemed sure it was battery powered.
As I already own a Fossil watch powered by battery I didn't feel inclined to buy another, so I thanked the salesperson and left accordingly. Fwiw, it was a click & collect order so neither of us could have known about it being battery powered beforehand. And even though the watch costs peanuts (£70) compared to all the other watches in the shop, I was treated very well as I was offered a hot beverage and invited to help myself to some chocolates while my watch was being retrieved. No deal in the end as I say, but well done Goldsmiths for an otherwise enjoyable experience
What watch are you watching, wearing or wishing to wear in the future? I'll watch with interest for any and all replies
