Review on ⌚ Swarovski Octea Lux Crystal Watch Collection for Women by Lisa Norman

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Beautiful but very busy watch

This is a very beautiful unique and attention grabbing watch but I think Swarovski couldn't stop making it :) Firstly if you are planning to buy these I would recommend to buy them in blue. Taste is of course subjective, but I think the blue looks fantastic and the green looks a bit fancy. I really like the blue dial and the rose gold strap. My wife definitely likes them. Everything about this watch is attractive and interesting, from the multifaceted dial bezel to the jeweled details on the dial and the rose gold Swarovski swan at 12 o'clock. You can't really see it in the photos, but you will see in the attached video that the light hits the dial with every movement of the watch. This is definitely not watch purple and is sure to turn heads. For me this is not ideal. I mean this watch is owned by my wife so it's not that I don't like everything about it but I just feel like it's too busy for my liking. I like simple, stripped down watches with maybe just a feature or two to make them stand out, but this thing is packed with features and attractions. Attractive piping battles against a fluted rose gold case that battles against three chronograph dials, a blue croco-embossed strap and a jewel ring on the dial. A dozen aspects of this watch are constantly vying for your attention. If that's what you're looking for, this is perfect. As for me though, I would rather like the design to be a bit simpler and cleaner. Still, I give it a solid 4 stars. My wife would probably give it a 5, so what do I know?
