Back To School Watches At TIME²

BE COLOURFUL

Just because you exist on a regime of Pot Noodles and Hollyoaks doesn’t mean your accessories shouldn’t reflect your personality and attention to detail. What better way to get yourself noticed on a night out than with a brightly coloured watch? Adidas’ Candy and Cambridge ranges are exceptional value for money, and they’ll certainly be noticed on the dance floor. Juicy Couture’s Rich Girl collection is also a great option for ladies, particularly as you don’t have to be a rich girl to own one!

TRY A CASIO

Hard-wearing, reasonably priced and more popular than a free pint at the student’s union, there’s something for everyone in Casio’s iconic G-Shock range. The entry level G-Lide model is just £45 at TIME² and it oozes retro appeal for the guy who is too cool for school. The Baby-G range is a perfect choice for fashion conscious girls about campus – Ke$ha and Rihanna have both worn them in recent months.

This chunky white resin G-Shock will not only help you stand out, but it can easily withstand a few spilt drinks – and just about anything else you can throw at it.

GO CERAMIC

Just as oversized watches soared in popularity a few years ago, ceramic pieces have never been more desirable. Favoured by celebs like Paris Hilton – who has sported a Chanel J12 on numerous occasions – the ceramic trend is as big in the fashionable boutiques of London as it is in student halls up and down the land. Miss Hilton’s high-end timepiece may exceed most student budgets, but there are plenty of reasonably priced options. DKNY’s Ladies’ Ceramix collection can help you stay on trend without blowing the student loan, and the gents can combine form and function with Burberry’s functional chronograph, reduced to just £175 at TIME².

BAG A BARGAIN

If there’s one thing students love more than missing lectures, it’s grabbing a bargain. Check out TIME²’s sale section to get a great time piece and enough change to play a few rounds of pub golf...
