Are Rose Gold Watches Still Fashionable in 2021?
Be radiant in rose blush.
Rose gold has been a steady fixture in modern style for almost a decade now, initially reappearing in 2012 and still going strong in 2021. However, rose gold really hit its modern stride in 2016 when rose quartz was named the colour of the year by Pantone and the trend skyrocketed. Everything was coloured with a rosy glow from jewellery, hair, stationery, homeware and electronics.
If you’re looking for that rosy glow, browse our rose gold women’s and men’s watches now. But if you still need more reason to add a bit of pink to your style, carry on reading for the history of rose gold and styling tips for rose gold in 2021.
The journey of rose gold:
Rose gold has a prestigious history, first emerging in early 19th century Russia when Gustav Fabergé introduced the hue to his coveted Fabergé Eggs. It became tradition for a time in Russia for the Tsar to give the Empress a Fabergé Easter Egg every year. Pink also was thought of as the colour of romance in the Victorian era and so pinkish jewellery flourished in this time period in general, not just between Russian Tsars and their Empresses.

In 1920, one of the most renowned jewellers in the world, Cartier, released their iconic trinity band that featured a yellow gold band, a white gold band, and a rose gold band. From there rose gold went from strength to strength, being heavily featured in the Retro era (1940's-1960's) until the trend began to decline slightly in the 90's in favour of silver to fit the minimalist trend with monochrome colours.

The reintroduction of rose gold in fashion signals the comeback of warm tones into our everyday styles; this trend has become a staple of style and fashion since 2012 and continues today.
Rose gold in 2021:
Rose gold in 2021 now has a gender-neutral appeal, with hues ranging from a feminine soft pink to a more masculine deep red. The shade is also endlessly versatile, lending itself to accentuate a wide range of styles and skin tones, casting a rose-tinted glow on every wearer.

Due to its history, rose gold mixes vintage and modern styles to create a timeless look. Rose gold jewellery radiates elegance and warmth. It perfectly accompanies neutral and earth toned outfits, which are a fashion focus in 2021, whilst keeping an air of tradition with the staple accessory of a wrist watch.

Good Experience

New watch straps arrived quickly, within 2 days of ordering, however there was a limited selection of 20mm straps on the website

Excellent customer service

The buying process was excellent, customer service spot on. Royal mail delivered to the wrong house, which we didn't know, when I reported a failed / missing delivery the Sekonda Customer Support team where excellent and immediately offered to send a replacement. However the watch turned up, at another neighbours house. Only Royal Mail let the delivery process down.

It would be nice to receive and make…

It would be nice to receive and make calls at this price, this model does not. All health readings must be 95% correct, which I have not checked. THE STEEL CASEING IS BRILLANT WITH GENUINE LEATHER SYRAP MAKES IT A TOUCH OF CLASS.

The watch is disappointing.

The watch was dispatched and delivered very quickly. The watch was unfortunately rubbish. It was billed as the "watch for a long run". The gps is poor. I used it for 2 runs. The gps didn't kick in until about 300m into both runs. It doesn't have the capacity to add apps from the phone such as the Ring doorbell. Battery life was poor. Fully charged it, wore it one day and for one run and it dropped to 40%.
