Stepping up in the same colour and case shape
The Sync collection is where Armani Exchange pitches squarely at the sports-casual crossover — a chronograph-equipped case large enough to read as a proper watch, kept light enough on the wrist by the silicone strap to wear through a full day without noticing it is there. At 88 grams that promise holds. The colour pairing is the whole point of this reference: the gold PVD case against a flat matte green dial is a high-contrast combination that sits closer to streetwear than to boardroom, and the matching green silicone strap reinforces that deliberately. The integrated lug design keeps the strap flush rather than tacked on, and the single-prong buckle is the right choice here — simple to adjust, nothing to snag.

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.
Water resistance explainedWill the glass scratch?
It can, over time. Mineral glass handles daily wear but will pick up fine scratches that sapphire would not.
Sapphire, mineral and acrylic comparedDoes it need a battery?
Yes. It is quartz, so expect a battery change every two to three years at a jeweller.
Quartz, automatic and solar comparedWhat 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.
