Some people are watch lovers and some people are not. I've always been a bit on the fence when it comes to watches. I think a nicely styled watch can be an interesting addition to an outfit, and of course, it's always good to be able to tell the time, so when Nordgreen sent me one of the Philosopher watches to review I was interested to see what it was like. Would I love it or loathe it? This is an ad and may contain affiliate links but as always opinions are my own.

Who are Nordgreen?
Nordgreen are a Danish brand with their ethos based in sustainability and minimalist design. Established in 2017, they have quickly made a name for themselves on the watch market, aimed at style-conscious men and women who care about the environment.
In the Nordic region, sustainability is a way of life, and Nordgreen applies these principals in a number of ways. Firstly they have a carbon-neutral office, planting millions of trees to offset emissions, secondly, they use sustainable packaging, thirdly by responsible manufacturing following best practices and lastly by a 'giving back' programme establishing partnerships with charitable organisations worldwide.
Their watches are designed by award-winning leading designer Jakob Wagner, who has designed for companies such as Bang & Olufsen, B&B Italia, and Cappellini. Being sleek and stylish and not just functional, Nordgreen ladies watches come in three main designs - the Philosopher, the Native and the Infinity.
The Philosopher watch
The watch I was sent to review was the Nordgreen Philosopher watch. The watch was delivered in 3 days, which I thought was quick considering their base is in Denmark.
The watch came in a mid-blue soft touch presentation box that had an aura of class, and the watch was presented on felt like material.
The watch I had chosen was in a rich rose gold material, with the strap made of a metal mesh. The face was white with rose gold-coloured hour markers instead of numbers but also came in black. A simple date was shown on the watch face, and the watch had an hour, minute and second hand. When you buy a Nordgreen Philosopher watch you can choose from a silver, gold or rose gold metal bezel, with a black or white face and a variety of straps including black, pink and navy leather. Vegan leather is also available. The watch came with a tool to be able to change the watch strap easily, allowing you to get different looks and more wear out of the watch. You can also buy a watch with an extra strap as part of a gift bundle too which I think is a great idea.
Other features of the Nordgreen Philosopher watch include the fact that it is rain resistant, which is also a plus point in the British weather. It also fits a variety of wrists as it's adjustable with a metal clasp.
What did I think of the Nordgreen Philosopher watch?
The Nordgreen Philosopher watch is a smart luxurious looking watch that I feel will appeal to women who are looking for a simple but stylish timepiece. It doesn't have many bells and whistles - you are not going to find a fitness tracker, chronograph or alarm but it makes up for that in glamour and class.
The company also has credible eco-credentials and with it's 'give back' scheme that helps charities in health, education and the environment, you know they really have a heart and care about people and the world around them.
So did I love it or loathe it? I loved it! The Nordgreen Philosopher watch is a beautiful looking watch and one that I am glad I now own. I have no excuse now not to watch a watch, have I?
Anything else I need to know?
Each watch has a two-year warranty for peace of mind and customer service is excellent according to Feefo, with an average score for customer service of 4.7 out of 5, with over 10,000 reviews.
