My Accidental Purchase Came! No Regrets!

Did you read that title and go “There is no such thing as an accidental purchase, I’m calling bullcrap”

If you did, I’m right there with you, whenever I mention it to someone I feel like a fool, BUT it is true. Here is a Semi-Summed up story:

(TLDR: The Shop app screwed me over)

I added the watches to my shopping cart to see the total and just to save them for later.

I then went on google to find discount codes for the Orient site, and found a site full of them.

While testing all these codes, my adhd brain just saw button and clicked… It was the place order button

Usually it would be fine, because I didnt put in any information… but… I didnt need to. Cause I have the shop app, and the website connected to the app immediately and filled all that info in automatically.

So pressing the “Place Order” button… worked.

Edit (Thanks for the reminder): Before placing the order I had cleared the code that was entered. So I lost my opportunity to save $44 dollars… 👍

And now we are here! Do I have any regret? Nope!! These watches look amazing, in my opinion! Very excited to wear them more!

She has threatened to permanently attach an apple watch to my wrist… So then I threatened to take her purses away and make her use reusable grocery bags instead…

Well that sounds like a happy accident. I hope you at least where able to get one of the discount codes to work.

Oh yeah I forgot to add that part!! Before I placed the order I got rid of the code 🥲. Could have saved $44 dollars.

That would be the only part that sucks, though if I am not mistaken the shop app how a rewards program for discounts on future purchases based off what you spend? So here is hoping I am correct and you have a credit based off your order.

Ill have to look into it, I havent explored the shop app too much, but that would be pretty cool!!

Closest I’ve come to an “accidental” purchase, was putting in a super lowball offer on a Lorier Hyperion… guess the seller was motivated haha. #noregrets 😎

I think I used it once and got a 1% credit that I have not used yet. It also looks like the will multiply it if you buy from certain shops.

I’ve made “accidental purchases” after a few too many. I once bought a full sized blanket with Nicholas Cage’s face on it. As well as multiple watches lol.

I’ve done the same exact thing! That’s how I ended up with my Hamilton Intramatic.

Us collectors, our brains just say “I want” without our permission and just act on it. Not much we can do 😂

Orient is a very underrated brand. I have three and am looking to purchase a Bambino someday! Enjoy your new watches!

I know its dangerous how good they look for me! Gotta buy them all, but the bank account says no haha. We will see how this collection stocks up over time lol. And thanks I already am and will continue to! No regrets here!

·

Wish you many more such accidental orders which come as good surprises 😅

Good things come in two's, will have to try that "tactic" when I'm browsing next to the mrs 😂

Orient’s about the best accidental purchase you could make

100% Agree. Now Im pondering how Im going to “accidentally order more” in the future.

If the tactic doesnt work just think about it this way.

More watches will be worth the week of sleeping on the couch 😎

Could have gone with the “my cat walked over my keyboard and accidentally make a purchase” 😂

Happy accident indeed

My biggest mistake was joining this app and community (completely a joke, love everyone). PURELY because of how good it is, and I also cannot be throwing money at as much as I want to. The doom scrolling gets the best of me 😳

I find the app can save and cost me money. It keeps me from the watches that I MIGHT impulse buy because the got my attention by distracting me but it reenforces my desire for others.
