Armani Exchange Two-Hand Stainless Steel Ladies Watch
Ref. AX5830
A round 32mm stainless steel case, just 6mm thick, keeps this bracelet watch compact and close to the wrist. The silver dial carries a sunray finish and simple baton indices, with two hands marking hours and minutes. Mineral glass sits over the dial, and a stainless steel link bracelet fastens with a double push-button folding clasp. Water resistance runs to 50 metres, covering everyday exposure without difficulty.

Learn more about Armani Exchange
Giorgio Armani launched A|X Armani Exchange in the United States in 1991, positioned below Emporio Armani as the group's most accessible line. Where the parent label drew on Milanese tailoring, Armani Exchange took its cues from street style and club culture, and priced itself accordingly.
Ownership took years to settle. A joint venture with Como Holdings was formed in 2005 to accelerate the line's growth, with Armani initially holding a minority stake. He bought a further quarter in 2008 and the remainder in 2014, bringing the brand fully in-house. In 2017 Armani Jeans was folded into it, consolidating the group's casual offering under one name.
The watches are made under licence by Fossil Group, the same manufacturer behind the Emporio Armani line, and they sit at a similar price point. The styling is the difference. Armani Exchange runs larger, brighter and more heavily branded than its sibling, with visible logos and bolder case treatments, which is the point rather than an oversight.

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 comparedIs it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as women's.
Has the price changed recently?
It's currently at its highest recorded price. It's ranged between £112 and £149, today it's £149.
