Stepping up in Guess's range
A barrel-shaped resin case gives the Phoenix an angular, sport-forward profile that sits differently on the wrist from a conventional round watch. At 42mm with an 11–12mm thickness, it wears with presence without being unwieldy. The all-black finish runs throughout — case, dial, and smooth silicone strap — unified by a pin buckle fastening. The dial opens up with skeleton sub-dials displaying day, date, and 24-hour time, with silver-tone hands and baton indices reading across the exposed movement detail. A mineral crystal sits above, and the watch carries 50m water resistance.

Learn more about Guess
The Marciano brothers founded Guess in Los Angeles in 1981, building it on denim and advertising that became as well known as the clothes.
The watch line is produced in-house through Guess Watches and Sequel AG, and follows the brand's aesthetic closely: crystal-set bezels, heavy gold and rose gold plating, oversized cases, and dials that favour decoration over legibility. Movements are quartz.
The watches are priced as accessories and sold as such.

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?
24mm. 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
Both F.Hinds and Goldsmiths list it at £149, so choose on delivery and warranty rather than price.
