I’ve no connection to this offer, I’ve not heard of the watch. It appeared on my phone feed. To me it appears à great discount but I’m no watch expert. Thought I’d post it on here thinking someone may like the deal.

It appears too good to be true so probably isn’t what it appears on first glance
 
Have a read of the reviews at the bottom of the page; that should be a good enough deterrent.
 
Debenhams is not Debenhams the department store. It's now online only, owned by Boohoo group. Very different business as far as integrity goes.
 
Well everyday is a school day. I had no idea Debenhams closed and are now cheap discount internet place. I shall mourn the loss of another high street haberdashery department.
 
RRP on this is absurd, though something Stuhrling are well known / oft derided for. To be fair and play devil's advocate the one at Debh'ms is the "swiss" automatic (iirc they source their movements in China, and finish in Switzerland meaning they can stamp it as such) so should be more than the £50 quartz on Amazon but the added value is very subjective.

It's not a "bad" watch per se for the specs you do get, but there are so many divers that'd be more solid without trying to look like a something they're not (See also: Seiko SKX / Seiko 5, Orient Mako II / Kamasu or if you insist on Swiss, Tissot Seastar.)
 
Stuhrling are just a made-up brand with no watchmaking heritage, tradition, history or pedigree.
They exist solely to extract money from gullible chumps who are taken in by the marketing BS, vile blingy designs and too good to be true discounted `bargains`.
£1900 for that POS? No way. When has that watch ever been sold at that price?
You could buy something horologically relevant from an established watchmaker for that sort of cash.
