Guess Phoenix 42mm Mens Watch Blue
Ref. GW0456G5
Sits in Guess’s upper tier here — more premium than three quarters of the Guess watches we list, which start at £90.
Price range £90 to £245 across 124 Guess watches in stock.The Phoenix takes a tonneau form — that curved, barrel-shaped case sits at 42mm across and a slim 11mm deep in silver-tone stainless steel. The blue sunray dial is arranged around three semi-skeletal sub-dials with gold accents, tracking hours, minutes, seconds, day, date, and 24-hour time. Silver baton indices and luminous hands keep things legible in low light. A three-link bracelet at 28mm width closes with a push-button deployant clasp, giving the watch considerable presence on the wrist.

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 comparedIs it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as men's.
Cheapest place to buy
Goldsmiths is the only UK retailer we track stocking this reference, so there is nothing to compare it against today.
