Nordgreen Watches | All I Want for Christmas

I’m not exactly sure when I stopped wearing watches but let’s just say it’s been a minute (see what I did there?) With a smartphone always in tow, I guess I just got out of the habit and as time rolled on, I thought I didn’t need one anymore.  

But lately, I’ve noticed that my favourite style influencers/muses ALL wear watches. I’ve found myself pining for a pretty watch again and let's face it, I wanted to try my hand at it (I can’t stop). It’s like Nordgreen heard my fashion cry across the pond and showed up in my inbox one day, asking if I’d like to test out one of their watches and give a special discount to my readers (use code SARAHF for 15% off your order btw). I obviously agreed!  Nordgreen, if you don’t already know, is a cool AF Scandinavian brand based in Copenhagen, so it’s no surprise that they’ve got minimalist design down to an art. I was immediately smitten with the Native in white leather - obsessed in fact - and could barely wait for it to arrive. It’s like I suddenly needed to know what time it was ALL the time. Without it, my wrist felt lacking. 

While I love the timeless, ageless, minimalist aesthetic of Nordgreen watches, it’s the company’s values that will make me a repeat customer. 

Nordgreen is carbon neutral; they plant thousands of trees to offset carbon emissions generated by their office in Copenhagen and shipments of their watches across the globe. Plus, their packaging is sustainable and made of FSC-certified cartons and upcycled plastic bottles. 

Probably my favourite thing about Nordgreen, though, is its Giving Back program. Through their partnerships with three NGO’s, each watch purchase allows every customer to donate to an important cause. By registering the serial number on your watch, you can donate 2 months of clean water to a person in need in the Central African Republic, 1 month of education to a child in India, or preserve 200 sq ft of rainforest in Latin America.

 

Since my Nordgreen watch arrived on my doorstep, I wear it every day with EVERYthing. I ordered the 36mm version because I like an oversized watch, and people comment  on it all the time. In non COVID times, I expect I’d get even more compliments but let’s just say the people at my local grocery store reaaalllly dig my watch. Thank you produce guy. Grazie lady in the Express Checkout aisle. Oh, and even the Starbucks drive-thru barista gave me a little 'oooh, where did you get your watch?' too. It's that good. 

You need one. You really do. Don’t forget -  Nordgreen has given me an exclusive promo code just for RLR followers. Use code SARAHF for 15% off your order :) That’s 15% on top of the 20% off they’re already offering on bundles. Plus, between Dec 2nd - Dec 30th, Nordgreen has partnered with KidsOut and my discount code will automatically give a toy to a child who has escaped domestic violence. 

So excited for you to have your own. It’s my fave thing. Oh, and come on - you’ve gotten so many gifts for everyone else this month, it’s the least you can do for yourself, right? Merry Christmas, you beauties!

p.s. What time is it? Time to get a watch. Bahahaaaa. Sorry, I’ll stop now ;)
