A 44mm stainless steel case, polished and 11mm thick, houses a black dial arranged around three silver subdials that handle weekday, date, and 24-hour display alongside the chronograph function. A tachymeter scale runs the fixed bezel. The hands carry luminous material, and small cubic zirconia accents sit on the dial face. Mineral crystal protects the display. The silver-tone H-link bracelet runs 21–22mm wide and fastens with a folding deployment clasp. Water resistance stands at 50 metres. At around 130–136 grams, it wears with some 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 comparedWhat size strap does it take?
21mm. 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.
Has the price changed recently?
It's currently at its lowest recorded price since we began tracking it. It's ranged between £139 and £169, today it's £139.
