The smart phone has given us an all in one solution to just about everything – including watches. The ultimate accessory is now a true luxury item. If you see someone with a watch on now, especially an expensive one, you can be sure that watch is a special one. I will certainly only give my personal support to a timepiece of genuine quality.
The quality of the product, however, is only the first step to a business earning my support. I am an environmentalist as well. Any company that I support must place an emphasis on green design and manufacturing. This is why I have chosen to represent only one brand of watch from the many offers that I have received over the course of my career.
Capitola is a very different kind of watch company. They are a small brand with a huge imprint. They are eco-friendly. Just as importantly, they create a superior brand of timepiece.
These are watches that are within your budget, but they give your wardrobe a new tax bracket. My first impression of the Capitola brand:
This is meant for the bold, the expressive and the stylish. This is Generation Z growing up. This is the first watch that I can see bringing the Computer Generation back into actually wearing watches!
Let’s be clear – my collaboration with Capitola does bring me some financial benefit. When you enter my code 3Cstyle during a purchase, you get a 15% discount on your stuff, and I get a small piece of the action as a commission. If this makes you feel like I’m doing this for the money, then by all means, don’t use the code. But don’t take it out on the brand. Take a quick look at the About Us page to discover the story behind the Capitola name, the recycled materials and the way the company includes fine leather in the product without hurting any animals (yes, they found a way to do it). Honestly, after you read the Capitola story, you might want to pay full price just to support the mission of the company.

I personally opted for the classic Gold-White Edmonton style. If you ask me the time now, I have a much more stylish way of presenting your answer to you.

I think this is a great watch! I am wearing the watch that was given to me by my parents at the age of 18 ( yes, long time ago!) I need glasses to see it and I have to wind it up every morning! I mean if my watch wouldn’t be of sentimental value I would definitely buy Capitola watch, – easy to see, easy to wear!
Most of my jewelry have sentimental value and are vintage pieces, either given to me by my grand-mother or found in estate sales. The other pieces are contemporary and designed by eco-friendly brands that got me crushing hard. You said it perfectly Elena: Capitola watches are easy to see, easy to wear! Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting.
Super elegant. Recycled materials? Amazing workmanship. So many use the screen on their phone to catch the time. I never gave up wearing my watch. Congrats on the connection with the brand. Now, if it will only add more time to the day. Hugs, Alan
Hello Stacey! I was thinking of you today and talking to my colleagues about your idea regarding restaurant discounts. We will try your approach. I’ll let you know if it works. Thanks for your kind words. It is a great sustainable brand. And a fraction of every purchase goes to a cause.
Such a gorgeous timepiece and like you it must be an eco friendly product for me. Very elegant and looks fabulous. Impeccable photography as well. I am going to check them out now. I will have to add a watch to my accessories. 💕
This looks like such a stylish and elegant watch Dominique and one that I’d be more than happy to wear. These days I’m wearing my Fitbit that my sister bought for me last year but I must admit from your photos this watch looks way classier. And I love that its eco friendly too.
No, I’m still awake. I have been working none stop for the past few days and up until today I had no time to reply properly to the comments on my blog and IG. Can’t wait to read you, Miriam. I know it will be amazing as always. I’ve got to go to bed now. Big day tomorrow and only 5 hours left to sleep. Time flies. Keep well dear friend.
Hello Sa. Why am I not surprise that you are interested in the Capitola’s watches… They are meant for the bold, the expressive and the stylish. You fit perfectly with this description dear.
