Stepping up in the same colour and case shape
The Gala sits at the jewellery end of what a watch can be. The crystal-set bezel, the glittering metal bead links that connect the bracelet sections, and the sunray-finished dial work together as a single decorative object rather than as case and strap that happen to match. At 30mm and just 7.75mm deep, it is genuinely small on the wrist — closer to a bangle than to most watches you would notice from across a table. The G-Link clasp allows individual links to be removed without tools, which for a rigid half-bangle design is more useful than it sounds: the fit either works or it does not, and being able to adjust it at home rather than at a jeweller's counter matters.

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?
No. At 30m it will survive rain and handwashing, but not submersion of any kind.
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?
14mm. 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.
Has the price changed recently?
It's currently at its lowest recorded price since we began tracking it. It's ranged between £124 and £165, today it's £124.
