Guess GW1017L1 Holly White Metal Silver Dial Bracelet Watch - W96422
Ref. GW1017L1
Sits in Guess’s upper tier here — more premium than three quarters of the Guess watches we list, which start at £65.
Price range £65 to £245 across 130 Guess watches in stock.The Holly sits at 24mm with an 8mm case — proportions that put it firmly in fine jewellery territory rather than watch territory, and the design follows that logic consistently. The beaded detailing runs from the case bezel along the full length of the bracelet, so the piece reads as a single object on the wrist rather than a watch with a strap attached. Sunburst silver dial, crystal hour markers: both choices that catch light without requiring much case real estate to do it. The G-Link bracelet adjusts by hand, removing or adding links without tools, which is a practical consideration at this size — a fit that is even slightly loose will shift around and spoil the look.

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.
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?
12mm. 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.
