Stepping up in Guess's range
At 28mm across and just over 8mm deep, this sits on the wrist as a lightweight, unobtrusive companion — close enough to the skin that it reads more like a piece of jewellery than a conventional watch. The mesh bracelet works in its favour here: the sliding buckle adjusts without tools, so getting the fit right for a slender wrist takes seconds rather than a trip to a jeweller. The white dial keeps things clean, alternating Arabic numerals with baton markers rather than cluttering the face, while rhinestones set into the bezel do the decorative work without touching the dial itself. It is the kind of detail that holds together in different light conditions — restrained enough for the office, present enough for an evening out.

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.
Cheapest place to buy
F.Hinds is the only UK retailer we track stocking this reference, so there is nothing to compare it against today.
Has the price changed recently?
It's currently at its highest recorded price. It's ranged between £149 and £159, today it's £159.
