TOCS (Timepieces of Color and Style)

One of the most stylish and colorful collections by GemTime is their TOCS watches.  Made of shock-resistant, high tech materials, these hip and bold timepieces are perfect for any one of any age or gender.  Styles range from the high tech Solar Alarm Chrono sports watches for men or women, to the Sporty Diver watches to the funky Big Eights watches both Tweens and teens alike will love.  One thing all TOCS watches have in common is their fun, bold colors and unique stylish designs.

I was sent a TOCS Big Eights analog watch in a cute hot pink color.  This particular TOCS has a round over-sized face inside a clear square-shaped acrylic case.  The face has large, fancy silver-colored numbers with the ‘8’ being the largest and the only one that sparkles (hence the name Big Eights).  The hour and minute hands are silver-colored geometric arrows, and the seconds hand is a skinny, white-colored strip.  The matching, hot pink, changeable strap is made of a soft, comfortable silicon resin with a silver-colored buckle clasp, and it is water-resistant.  In fact, the entire watch is water-resistant up to 100 feet.  It is the perfect watch to add a dash of bold cold to your everyday wear.  It comes complete with a 5 year warranty.   This particular TOCS sells for $50 on Gemtime’s e-commerce site at https://www.tocswatches.com.

ADELE Ultra

The second watch I was sent is an all new Adele Ultra.  This brand is new to the market, but already a huge hit with stores for this upcoming holiday season!  These simple yet elegant watches can be worn for all occasions, casual or dressy.  The Adele brand features removable, extra links on their bands to fit any size wrist, Japanese Seiki Movement and Quartz Accuracy of 1 minute per year!  A very reliable and beautiful watch!

The feminine Adele Ultra watch I received has a pretty metallic silver and gold link band, a slender round face encased with rhinestones that alternate with gold strips at every ten-minute mark.  The face itself is a pearly white with gold-colored lines in place of numbers, and gold colored hour, minute and seconds hands.

The band has interlocking links, two of which are extras and removable, which securely latch to keep the watch safe on your wrist.  It is perfect both for everyday casual wear and when my husband takes me to dinner on a dressy date night.

The suggested retail price for an Adele is around $60, and they come with a five year limited warranty.  Adele Ultra can be found at many fine retailers such as Macy’s, Bloomingdales and others this holiday season.  You can also find Adele Ultra on GemTimes e-commerce site at https://www.tocswatches.com.

MY OPINION

I have been alternating wearing both watches for well over a month now and am extremely happy with both!  The TOCS watch is bright, cheerful and fun, and is extremely easy to read thanks to its stylishly large face and numbers.  My 11-year-old niece is obsessed with it!  I love wearing it ou
t during the day while running errands or other activities, and find it very comfortable, and most importantly, reliable and accurate.  I believe TOCS watches would make a great gift for any Tween, pre-teen, college-student or adult, male or female, with their large, hip collection full of great styles and designs!

I also love my Adele.  Since it has such a slim, elegant look, I can pass it off as a casual, bracelet watch or a dressy timepiece!  I also like that it has the extra, removable links allowing me to wear it loose and dangly, or firmly against my wrist.  It is almost like having two different style watches!  Most importantly, I find my Adele to be accurate and dependable.  I can see how it will quickly become a very popular and affordable brand!  A perfect gift idea for that special lady in your life for the upcoming holidays!

You can find and purchase these watches and more on GemTime’s e-commerce site https://www.tocswatches.com.  With the holidays soon arriving, these are a perfect, stylish and affordable gift idea!

Those are fun looking! The Adele is gorgeous! I'm going to go look at both places. I wonder if the TOCS (cute name!) has fun watches for teen/tween boys? Great review, thanks!
