Anne Klein Women's Diamond Watch with Rose Pink Ceramic Bracelet AK/N1018PMLP


Rating: 4/5

Review:



A very nice watch, but lacking some essential extras


This is a very nice watch; it is well made, stylish and very pretty.  The overall package could be improved, though.

The face is a delicate rose-pink mother-of-pearl with a neat ceramic band to match.  The face markings are simple and elegant in rose gold with a small diamond set at twelve-o'-clock.  The body of the watch is a rose-gold colour to match and the whole effect is very pleasing.  It keeps good time and the discreet second hand will be a welcome feature for many people.

The watch is very nicely presented in a quality hinged box with faux-leather interior and cushion, so it would make a very nice present…but lacks some of the essential features for this, I think.  There is no Certificate of Authenticity, nor anything to say that the diamond and gold are genuine.  More seriously, the band is not readily adjustable and there are no instructions whatsoever about how to alter the band to fit.  It took me some time just to figure out how to undo the clasp!  The clasp has an extender which can be removed to make the band smaller, but any further adjustment by adding or removing links is not explained – and may not even be possible, for all I can discover.

It's a shame that a simple presentational issue should detract from a very nice, high-quality watch and I hope Anne Klein can sort this out soon.  Until they do, in spite of its elegance and quality, I can only give this four stars.
