So the lovely guys at THE 5TH sent me a watch to review. They kindly allowed me to choose one from their newest range named 'Tokyo' and I fell in love with 'Aki' - a navy blue and rose gold watch.
If you haven't read my blog before, I stumbled across this brand on Instagram and decided to purchase a watch purely based on their minimalistic designs. I was never into watches but they have definitely converted me - so thanks! I have pretty much worn my Melborne one since I bought it last year and I always get comments on how nice it looks. I reviewed it as part of their Melborne Minimal Range ( Peach & Rose Gold) last year.

So let's get on to the review! I will be reviewing THE 5TH Watches: Tokyo Range: Aki which will be available to purchase on www.the5th.co in 7 hours! ( Please note there will be a time difference depending on where you live)
The Brand:
THE 5TH is an Australian based brand that I believe started off on Instagram and are pretty cool as they are pretty exclusive. On the 5th day at the 5th hour for 5 days they sell their exclusive range of products. This is great as you can guarantee they will have the stock and they ship out relatively quick too. I have to commend their shipping times on both occasions as I have received them in less than the allocated time frame. I should note they started off selling watches but they have now ventured into selling bags too which is great growth for the brand.
The Review:
From the package I received, THE 5TH seem to have updated their sleek packaging to a much more wider case. However it may be for the 'Tokyo' range so I am not sure, but still I like it as it still fulfils their minimalistic approach to design.

| The Packaging |
As you can see from below, it comes in sleeve and then once the box is opened you see their clear strapline 'Time is what we make it'. There is a small envelope with a information about the watch and its guarantee which is 24 months. The 'Aki' watch has a grained navy blue strap with rose gold casing around the watch dial. The watch face has white indents to show the hours with white hands but the ticking hand is black. It definitely defines 'Tokyo' to me. It comes with the strap detached so you have to put it together but it is so easy and simple to do so. Just for your information it retails at 129 AUD/ 90 EUR/ 80 GBP. Personally, this is excellent value for a beautifully crafted and exclusive watch.

| I LOVE it! |
The strap is a good width and feels really strong and sturdy too. I like how comfortable it feels on my wrist and the detailing on the leather strap. It really is a different but fabulous addition to my watch collection. I now own 2 beautiful watches all thanks to THE 5TH! :)
The Rating:
I absolutely love this watch as navy blue goes with so many outfits and I can definitely say I am obsessed. It gets a 10/10 from me!I am all for simplicity when it comes to accessories and this has ticked the boxes for sure. So I've had this only a few days and have worn this SO many times. It is now my watch to wear for work whilst my Melborne Minimal watch is for the weekends.
THE 5TH have also given me a discount code which gives you 10% discount on anyone who reads this blog post whether you have been following me since the beginning or you are a newbie. Just enter 'SARA' at the checkout to obtain your discount!
Lastly, I would like to say 'Thanks' to THE 5TH for providing me with such an awesome watch to review!
Love & Blessings,
Sara :)
