Guess GW1017L2 Holly Bracelet Watch - W96421
Ref. GW1017L2
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 149 Guess watches in stock.At 24mm, this sits at the wrist the way a fine bangle does — more jewellery than instrument, which is exactly the register the Holly line works in. The beaded texture running across both the case and the bracelet links ties the two together so that the whole thing reads as a single piece rather than a dial attached to a strap. At 54 grams on the wrist and 8mm deep, it disappears beneath a sleeve or stacks naturally with other pieces. The G-Link bracelet adjusts by snapping links in or out without tools, which makes a good fit genuinely easy to achieve at home.

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?
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.
