The Sync collection is Armani Exchange's urban-casual line, and this chronograph sits at its more considered end: a deep green sunray dial against gold-tone hands, indices and bezel, with the two-tone bracelet carrying that contrast through to the wrist. The colour combination is deliberate — the kind of thing that reads as a coordinated choice rather than an accident of catalogue assembly. At 10.9mm thick, the case sits closer to a dress watch in profile than to the chunky silhouette that often accompanies a 42mm chronograph. It goes under a cuff without protest, and the pronounced taper of the 16mm bracelet keeps the whole thing feeling neater than the diameter alone would suggest. The folding clasp is standard for the line — functional, secure, adjusted through a jeweller rather than a tool.

Learn more about Emporio Armani
Giorgio Armani launched Emporio Armani in 1981 as a younger, more accessible line beneath the main label. Watches followed under licence, and since 2000 they have been produced by Fossil Group, which holds the manufacturing and distribution rights.
The watches are fashion accessories rather than horological objects, and the house does not claim otherwise. Movements are bought-in quartz and Japanese automatic calibres, cased in designs that follow the clothing line's aesthetic: muted palettes, clean dials, and a preference for restraint over ornament.
That restraint is the appeal. Where much of the licensed-fashion category reaches for size and shine, Emporio Armani generally does not, and the better references in the line are quietly proportioned watches at prices well under the Swiss entry point.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Can I swim with it?
Showering yes, swimming no. 50m covers splashes and brief immersion, but a swimming stroke generates well above the pressure that figure describes.
Will the glass scratch?
It can, over time. Mineral glass handles daily wear but will pick up fine scratches that sapphire would not.
Does it need a battery?
Yes. It is quartz, so expect a battery change every two to three years at a jeweller.
What size strap does it take?
16mm. Any strap of that width will fit, and on most modern watches quick-release bars make the swap a two-minute job with no tools.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as men's.
Cheapest place to buy
