Globenfeld is a long established luxury watch brand that brings modern, stylish designs suitable for both work and sports environments.  The Jetmaster is a prime example of this with a durable rubber strap, although with silver bars between to give it a more stylish appearance.  As well as it ‘s stylish, masculine look, it includes a stopwatch and is water resistant up to 30m.

The watches are presented in a stylish gift box which can double up as a place to keep the watch when not in use.  This style is perfect for my husband who requires a durable watch at work, but also one that looks good at home and nights out, so this fits the bill in all cases.

It has many features, with the date and time being useful and the stop watch being a handy thing to have, the kids love daddy timing him on races etc.

Other key characteristics include:

  • Water Resistant 30 M
  • 12/24 time format
  • Day, date and month features
  • Alarm with chime
  • Stop watch
  • Watch back light function (for night vision)
  • Textured jet black dial
  • Scissor hands

We liked the fact that the three dials can simply be lit up with a quick press of the top left crown, brilliant for seeing in a dark venue during the evening etc.  The whole watch is ultra stylish and great for everyday wear.  It looks impressive, is great quality and is perfect for a family man with it’s durable strap.

If you are looking for a watch then why not check out the Globenfeld range, a whole choice of stylish watches for the man in your life, a great gift for any occasion!

Dinosaur Race by Orchard Toys – Review

Posted on by

We were asked to review Dinosaur Race by Orchard Toys for izziwizzikids.co.uk.

With Miss M being quite young we have only just started playing board games but when I was offered the opportunity to try out the new Dinosaur Race game from Orchard Toys for ages 3+, I knew she would love it.  She is an avid dinosaur fan having watched the Jurassic Park films over and over again and has a number of dinosaur books on her bookshelf.

An exciting aspect of this game that jumped out at me was the race track and medal podium – with the 2012 London Olympics this year, what a fabulous way of introducing children to sport and helping them to engage with the largest event to be held in the country this summer.

Having already experienced a number of Orchard Toys games, I knew the quality of the pieces would be made to their usual high standard especially considering they are made of 75% recycled cardboard.  The pictures on both the box and the game are highly colourful, bright and eye catching – perfect for the suggested 3 to 10 years age range of this game.

Miss M couldn’t wait to get the pieces out of the box when she saw it and was very excited with the various contents.  The first little novelty was that the game board was like a mini jigsaw and mummy was ordered not to touch it while Miss M carefully put the pieces together.  I liked the fact that the dinosaur playing pieces had little plastic stands to create a three dimensional effect to the game.  And the ultimate finishing touch has to be the medal podium complete with medals enabling you to hold a medal ceremony at the end of each race – London Olympics 2012 here we come!!!

We played the game with the maximum 4 players and this definitely produced a fun, exciting atmosphere that created tension and competitiveness as the dinosaurs approached the finish line.

We all had great fun playing this game and definitely felt it was different and unique to other games we had seen before.  It retails at £11.75 which I feel is a reasonable price for the game and is available to purchase from Orchard Toys.
