If you have a fetish for something out of the ordinary, the ICE watch is for you. When the ICE watch brand was created in 2007, its creator the Belgian entrepreneur Jean-Pierre Lutgen imagined it as a “change”. And a change it made for the folks looking for watches – the ICE watch brings something different to the table. This is an accessory that adds a splash of colour to your persona. It makes a style statement, stands out and gets you noticed.
ICE watches are trendy and versatile, more suited to the carefree spirited younger crowd. An ICE watch won’t cost you a packet; it is very affordable. The wide range of colours and glamorous designs are so attractive that you’re tempted to buy more than one. In fact, that’s what happened to me – I was on the lookout for a cool, stylish and inexpensive watch for my daughter, Rhea. She had lost hers a few weeks ago and badly needed one to wear to school. An online search lead to the ICE watch brand which impressed me the most among several others.
Needless to say, my search for a trendy watch had ended. Downunderwatches.com, (https://www.downunderwatches.com/) an online watch store offered a good collection of ICE watches. ICE Duo Quartz 001500 Women’s Watch was this unique grey body with fluorescent yellow highlights. The ICE Duo quartz has a silicon case and strap. The strap comes with a metallic buckle clasp which is a generally not found on similar watches. The solid metallic case back lends an element of sturdiness to this watch. The silicone strap combined into the construction gave a smooth, look to the watch like it is one single piece.
The ICE Duo offers a minimalistic design, I think the appeal of this watch lies in the sporty shape and its unique colour mix. The mineral crystal covers the dial which is a light grey colour. With recessed hour markers in the same shade of grey, the bright yellow hands provide a colourful contrast to the neutral dial. The ICE Duo features a Japanese quartz movement like all other ICE watches.
Apparently, ICE watches offer impressive water resistance features; the ICE Duo is water resistant up to 100m. It was one of the reasons I chose this watch for Rhea – she’s learning to swim and could wear it to swimming class as well.
Given the materials used in its construction, Rhea found the watch to be a comfortable fit. I thought it could also survive the rough use it would be subjected to. Teenagers are not known to be careful with their stuff, so this ICE Duo Quartz 01500 Women’s Watch should do nicely.
ICE watch brand makes some trendy and stylish watches that are inexpensive. Check downunderwatches.com for more.

In response to your request for a review on my purchase from DOWNUNDERWATCHES I can say the following, I address myself for this particular watches to DOWNUNDERWATCHES since they claim to be Australia's premier online watches store. This particular model is not available in store in Australia, not that I know off, therefore the advertised Australia's premier online watch store induce me to believe that the item was available in Australia but only from online orders. It turn out not to be so but from Singapore apparently. So, the claim that delivery is made within three days turn out to be three weeks. This detail should be indicated clearly to people in Australia. Other than that the delivery was made by DHL and the watch received in good condition some ten days latter. The watch is exactly as I expected it would be, well packaged, no complaint whatsoever to make about it. It would be better for the retailer to indicate that the delivery to Australia will required two weeks instead of saying next to day of dispatching leaving the impression that the goods is from an Australian distributor which physically it is not. Orient watches are not well represented in Australia by retailers if not at all. Seiko dominates the market amongst other brand. Orient is no more made in Japan as it was in the past, the factory with the name Epson is now in Thailand, the product is still of high quality and genuine as it has been expected from the original manufacturer in previous years from Japan. Epson has absorbed the brand name Orient which remains nevertheless a high quality product originally exclusively from Japan. Orient watches are of high quality until today.
Hi Patrice,
Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We’re glad the watch arrived in good condition and met your expectations. We also appreciate your notes about delivery times and origins—this helps us improve how we communicate shipping details for our Australian customers.
The watch was as good as I expected, being refurbished and works accurately with minor blemishes. "Downunderwatches" is Singapore based, so I was surprised to have to pay additional fees for the foreign import.
