Stepping up in Guess's range
A compact dress watch with a crystal-set bezel and a white sunray dial marked by a mix of baton indices and Arabic numerals — the Melody sits squarely in the tradition of Guess jewellery-adjacent pieces aimed at daily wear that reads as occasion wear. At 28mm it sits quietly on the wrist rather than announcing itself, and at 8mm it disappears under a sleeve without catching. The two-tone bracelet — polished links in silver and gold — integrates closely with the case, and the folding clasp makes it easy to take on and off. At 65.5 grams it is light enough to forget you are wearing it. The Japanese quartz movement behind it is the sensible choice for something worn this way: no winding, no adjustment, no attention required.

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.
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?
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.
