It seems that most of the Advent calendar items are now on offer at a 15% discount. While this is nice, my recollection is that the discount was in the 30% range going back a few years ago. When I picked up an Advent sale Stowa a few years ago I felt I received a tremendous bargain that was hard to resist… at 15% off the watch would already have to be on my short list before picking it up.
That's true but what do other companies give you at this time of year? Mostly nothing or price increase for december time.
Thanks. If Sinn would offer a similar Advent promotion, that would be a nice gift from Santa!
A 15% discount is wonderful if you already want the watch, but it’s not going to sell out in a few minutes/hours like in the past when larger discounts were typical. Also, these are not brand new watches… According to Stowa, “Condition as new or with slightest micro scratches.” Although I have to say my Advent purchase was in pristine condition.
Yep, I'm still holding out for a Marine Original Arabic. I was surprised by the potential for used watches though, I'd expect more than 15% off for that.
They are not new? That's not cool.
I also planned to wait for Marine Original Arabic with silver dial, but then saw this small print, and ultimately decided that I don't want to get slightly used watch with just 15% discount, without even seeing the condition. As for purchasing it at full price, I'm really considered getting Dekla instead.
The Advent watches are backed by the full Stowa warranty, and at least in my case, in perfect condition. But I do think a discount of more than 15% would make for a more enticing deal
A declining Interest in Stowa watches in general maybe ?! I am a bit tired of seeing all those limited editions or special models, basically just featuring a change in colour (dial or case). Bought my last Stowa in 2018, turned towards Dekla, Hanhart, Nomos since then.
No doubt about the current „variety of designs“. but what does it really say about the brand. I moderated the Stowa forum for almost 20 years and -believe it or not - in my book the „good variety of design“ hasn‘t experienced much impetus in terms of creating new (!) designs. IMO the Rana (2015) was the last remarkable new design and flopped. Everything that came after that was actually just tinkering with well-known designs, add another dial color, add a bronze case, add different color to numbers/indexes, add the hundredth limited edition. Nothing refreshing new. What about a pink dialed Stowa Marine, limited to only 50 pieces, c‘mon.
i totally agree with that. From a Stowaristi Fan view the Models have been lacking.
Is there only one watch available for each day?
That‘s how an advent calendar works, if not it is just a Christmas Sale Which is Stowa‘s term on Instagram. Anyway, does not matter that much. Very unusual compared to former advent calendars.
