Stepping up in the same colour and case shape
From the Jackie collection, this is Armani Exchange's answer to the dress watch that carries through a working day without announcing itself too loudly. The two-tone execution — gold-plated bezel against the steel case and bracelet — gives it enough warmth to read as deliberate, while the silver sunray dial with crystal-set quarter-hour markers keeps the face clean rather than busy. At 6.3mm thick, it sits genuinely flat on the wrist, which is rarer at 36mm than it should be and makes it the kind of watch that disappears under a cuff when needed and reappears tidily when it does not. The deployant clasp and adjustable link bracelet mean the fit can be dialled in properly, and at 74.3 grams it has just enough presence to feel substantial without pulling at the wrist through a long day.

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 women's, though at 36mm it sits in the range that suits anyone.
