Stepping up in Guess's range
At 44mm and just 10mm deep, this sits in an interesting position for a watch of its scale — broad enough to read as a confident dress piece, flat enough to disappear under a formal cuff where most watches of comparable diameter simply will not go. The deep navy sunray dial shifts between near-black and a cooler blue under changing light, with Roman numerals and baton indices giving it a considered, traditional structure. The set earns its keep in the accessories. Quick-release pins mean the bracelet and the silicone alternative swap without tools in seconds — a meaningful convenience rather than a catalogue claim — and the two together cover enough ground that a single watch handles a working week without looking out of place at either end of it.

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?
22mm. 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 highest recorded price. It's ranged between £149 and £155, today it's £155.
