Crystal Bead Skeleton Bracelet Watch

The dial is the smallest element here: a round face set inside an open rose-gold frame, which is then strung onto a bracelet of coloured crystal beads and worn like any other piece of jewellery. The maker files four colours for the beads — red, green, white and pink — while the photographs also show blue and black sets, so the range photographed is wider than the range filed. Nothing about the case is measured on the listing: there is no dial diameter row and no thickness row, so this page states no size at all, and there is no water-resistance row either, which means the watch is treated here as a dry one. The crown is filed as a flat cone and the crystal as ordinary glass. The clasp row says pin buckle even though the title sells the bracelet as freely adjustable and the frames show an open chain with no buckle visible; treat the adjustment as a chain that slides. The movement is a quartz calibre filed as 68, which the same listing also gives as the movement brand, so a calibre is named and a maker is not. The maker will not print a buyer logo, so the beads and dial ship as photographed.

A jewellery line, not a watch line

Everything about the piece argues for merchandising it with the bracelets rather than with the watches: it is sized by the chain, the dial is small, and the colour story is bead colour rather than dial colour. In a wholesale range that means ordering it against the jewellery buy, in the colours that sit beside the rest of the bead work, and presenting it as an accessory that tells the time.

What the listing does not say

No case diameter, no thickness, no water resistance, and a clasp row that contradicts the title. On a low-cost fashion piece that is normal, but it does mean the buyer prices it without a size claim. The two constraints worth putting in writing to the maker are the bead-set colours actually in stock and whether the chain adjusts by sliding or by a clasp that the photographs do not show.

Why we chose it

Because it sells as jewellery with a dial in it, which is the version of a watch that moves in a bead-and-bracelet range, and because the page says outright that no size and no water resistance are filed rather than inventing either.

Care

• No water resistance is filed: keep it out of the shower, the sink and the rain.
• Perfume and hairspray are what dull rose-gold plating first; put the piece on last.
• Store it flat so the bead chain does not kink at the frame.
