“Better than the neighbour’s”: Grete and Karl are very happy with their Daniel Wellington watches

Archive (2018): this interview took place during the television show ‘Naabrist parem’. Daniel Wellington watches are not currently in our range.

Our team enjoyed a familiar sight on the show ‘Naabrist parem’. We had noticed Grete wearing a familiar Daniel Wellington watch with a NATO strap several times. As we stocked a wide range of Wellington watches at the time, we were curious how happy Grete was with hers. We decided to arrange a short interview.

To our delight, Grete was very friendly and happy to answer our questions. We learned that Karl had also bought himself an eye-catching Wellington watch! We asked them both how they rated their watches and whether they would recommend them to watch lovers of all ages.

Grete and Karl, we have seen you wearing Daniel Wellington watches on the show several times. Why did you choose them?

We chose Daniel Wellington watches mainly for their simple but beautiful appearance. They suit all kinds of occasions and are easy to combine with different outfits.

Wellington offers a wide choice. What made you choose watches with NATO straps?
We had admired DW watches for a long time, and our shared favourite became the gold-bezel watch with a blue, red and white NATO strap. We chose the NATO strap for its appearance, but also because it seemed more comfortable on the wrist than leather. And, of course, because you can buy extra straps and change them easily yourself.

Since NATO straps have a distinctive look, how do you match the watch to your clothes?

A watch with a NATO strap is very easy to pair with almost any outfit. Although we have not yet bought different NATO straps, we have managed to match the watch to most outfits.

Our favourite everyday outfit is jeans, a white top, white trainers and a DW watch.

We definitely plan to buy straps in different colours, giving us even more options.

People often wonder whether a DW watch suits formal clothing too. Have you worn yours with a dress or suit?

The watches work very well with formal clothes too! Karl found a dress shirt in colours that pair perfectly with our watches. I have also worn my DW watch with several dresses.

Do you wear the watch when exercising?

As we both have activity trackers, we have not worn our DW watches for sports so far. But they would certainly suit sports too; they seem ideal for tennis, for example 🙂

You are constantly renovating during the current show. How do you rate the watches’ durability?

We have occasionally worried something might happen during renovation work, but their durability has been excellent! The watch straps have got paint on them several times during the show. A NATO strap is very easy to care for. We have repeatedly washed them with soap and water and got them clean again.

How many rosettes would you give a DW watch on a scale of 10?

We would give it 10 rosettes.

Would you recommend D.Wellington watches to others?

We would certainly recommend a DW watch to everyone! Especially to people who like variety, because DW straps are easy to change yourself and combine with different clothes.

DW watches suit every occasion, from everyday wear to formal events, and certainly sports too!

We are very, very happy with our choice 🙂

Based on Grete and Karl’s experience, Daniel Wellington watches suit a variety of occasions. Editor’s note: according to the manufacturer, DW models with NATO straps are generally splash-resistant, not intended for swimming, and textile straps should be removed from the watch before washing. Grete and Karl are so happy with their watches that giving them 10 rosettes is beyond doubt!

We are cheering on this lovely couple too and wish them every success in the final! 🙂
