For my 21st birthday, I decided that I wanted my parents to give me something I could keep for years to come. Jewellery was of course the first thing that sprung to mind. I didn't want a necklace I'd never wear, or a bracelet that would come out of its box once a year, so I decided to choose a nice watch.
I was living in Paris at the time, so enjoyed leisurely wandering around Galeries Lafayette and Printemps trying to pick out the watch that I wanted. I allowed myself to dream a little, wandering around the Bvlgari and Chanel stands, even wandering into the Swarovski shop. After several months, I still hadn't found The Perfect Watch, although I was umming and aahing about the DZ5102, essentially the white version of this watch. When I happened across this watch - DZ5104 - the same watch but in black, I knew I'd found it.

Advantages: Loads of stats, really makes running into a new experience Disadvantages: Expensive!
Right, a quick note, I?ve only ever reviewed games and albums, so let?s see how this goes, work with me.
Keeping fit can feel like a right chore, I?ll be the first to admit that. Being a relatively active person sadly means that when I?m not playing regular sport I need to do something to stay in shape, or at least feel good each morning when I wake up. The Nike+ kit adds an extra dimension to that idea, taking running as a simple form of cardiovascular exercise and giving the user something more tangible, allowing the creation of training schedules, personal goals, challenges to undertake ? you name it, Nike+ probably covers it.
The kit itself is pretty simple. You get a receiver to plug into your Ipod Nano (or 2nd generation Ipod Touch), which is remotely connected to a sensor that you place under the sole of your Nike+ running ...
Advantages: Elegant yet robust looking, a good size for my tiny wrists, keeps good time Disadvantages: Difficult to adjust, tiny day window, needed repairs to the crown
...so I bullied...sorry, that should read 'cajoled' my husband into buying me one, and he chose the Wittnauer Laureate 12M02 ladies' watch.
You've never heard of Wittnauer? I'm not surprised, though the company has been around since 1872. The reason you may never have heard of it is that although the watch is indeed manufactured in Switzerland, so can legitimately claim to be a Swiss watch, the company was formed to service the supposedly more demanding (and cheaper - the watches were and still are cheaper than the more well known Swiss brands) American market. Its offices (they are now part of the Bulova group) are in New York, and have been for most of its trading history (you can read the full history of the company here http://www.bulovaspecialmarkets.com/about/wittnaue rhistory.aspx).
