in It's gone, but was it any good?
Haven't seen this posted anywhere yet. This Calvin Klein Ladies Minimal watch is £18.19 at https://www.halfcost.co.uk, currently showing as in stock. It doesn't say exactly which model it is so I can't compare directly, but ladies cK watches seem to start at around £80, so hopefully this is a real bargain.

Yes, it looks like halfcost.co.uk is the (in)famous Studio Outlet resurrected. I haven't dealt with halfcost.co.uk but ordered with Studio Outlet in the past - their website was woefully bad at updating stock levels but their customer service was great (it needed to be!). Maybe things have improved now - or someone who's ordered from them can tell us?

Delivery is £3.99, but halfcost sell all sorts of extremely cheap tat so grab yourself some and make yourself feel like you're getting even better value for money! Stan Ogden figurine, anyone? :confused:

For the record, I'll be giving the watch (yes, and Stan Ogden) a miss as I don't need it, but hopefully it'll be of use to someone!

    Used to be studio-outlet - see here: http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=155822&highlight=studio+outlet Many people on this site had loads of bargains from there. The only gripe was sometimes you didn't know something was out of stock until you got your order. Customer service was quite good. Any problems with any of your oreder and they would refund you and tell you to keep the item. Can't say if this is still the case since they changed to half-cost though. HTH

    They do seem to sell for about £80, but I wouldn't pay that for one, it doesn't look up to much as far as watches go, but then it's the 'designer' name you are buying not the watch or you'd buy a Seiko, for example.
    I didn't do it, nobody saw me do it, you can't prove a thing!

    I have bought from Halfcost recently, and I would agree the service is good, must be run by the same people as the Studio site. Agree with the stock comment too.

    I was happy, a large box arrived around 5 days after ordering, 1 item was missing but I emailed them and they emailed back within a day, and sent the missing item out. I will definitely be ordering from them again, got some great bargains!
    I always wanted to be a procrastinator, never got round to it...

    I notice there's now a similar gents model cK watch available, at the same price of £18.19! It's here:

    http://www.halfcost.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10001&storeId=11&productId=19645

    There's also a 10% code for Halfcost on the vouchers board (not allowed to post here, so you'll have to search for it!), which brings it down to £16.37 plus delivery.

    Total rubbish. I have just tried ordering from them. I had to put my card number in 4 times. It eventually went throught on the fourth attempt. It then came up system error. Please try again. I gave up I won't be going back there again. If they can't get their website to work then they are junk. I will have to now check my card statement to ensure payment hasn't gone through for an order they haven't even recognised. Total Junk. Steer Clear.

    But first, the most asked question:

    Q "Is anything worn under your kilt???"

    A "No. Everything is in perfect working order Thank You!!."
