Review: Fossil Virginia Watch

 
I was lucky enough to be selected by Insiders UK to review the Fossil ES3282 Virginia analogue watch (£67). The watch is stainless steel and quite chunky with the dial measuring 30mm diameter. The width of the bracelet is 7mm and it is adorned with clear, sparkling zirconia crystals, as is the watch face.  The watch is water resistant up to 50m and the strap doesn’t need to be taken to a watch maker/jeweller to be adjusted, it is easy to do your self. Just lift the link and remove. The numbers are Roman numerals and the clock hands are fluorescent so can be seen in the dark. The tin it comes packaged in is cute but I don’t like the brown watch display holder - it looks cheap in comparison to the watch and tin.  

 The watch is quite heavy and bulky on my small wrist. I don’t think I would wear this as an every day watch but would use it as a grown up going out 

#Stylish and Fun #Medical #Bracelets

There is a fine line to be drawn between the chunky, obvious, designed to be seen medical bracelets and ones that are more discreet, elegant and fun. Obviously in an emergency you want your medical bracelet to beef by medical personnel but for the rest of your life, well me anyway, want to try and forget or make the bracelet as unobtrusive as possible. I have uploaded a selection I bought from Amazon UK.  The thin bracelet is sterling silver whilst the teddy necklace and friendship bracelet are stainless steel. They are all engraveable and the medical bracelet insignia is clearly identifiable. The sterling silver bracelet is 5" with a 1"extender. The engraveable plate is 8mm x 18.5mm and the chain has a lobster clasp. The bracelet is £17.72 plus £3.99 p&p.  The teddy necklace chain is 14", tithe bear is 9x7x2 cm, so can fit a lot of detail on it and costs £18.71 plus £1.60 p&p. The friendship style bracelet is £12.99 with Amazon Prime and costs £12.99. This bracelet is a macrame nylon adjustable bracelet  and is aimed at the teen market. The bracelet is adjustable from 7.5" to 10.5". There were also lots of funky children's Velcro bracelets and some chunky gold bracelets but for the moment I am happy with these. 

I purchased these items myself and the views expressed in this post are my own.
