Guess GW1027L1 Colette Stone Set Bracelet Watch - W96420
Ref. GW1027L1
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.The Colette collection is Guess's answer to a familiar brief: something that reads as jewellery on the wrist but keeps time reliably. The 32mm case sits close to the wrist without crowding it, and the zirconia stones set into the bezel and around the dial catch light in a way the mother-of-pearl beneath them amplifies rather than competes with — the two surfaces shift together as the wrist moves. At 74 grams on a stainless steel bracelet, it has enough presence to feel considered without becoming heavy through a day's wear. The folding clasp releases cleanly on both sides, and the links can be adjusted at home with a pin-pusher, which matters more than it sounds on a watch sized to sit flush with a narrow 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?
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?
16mm. 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.
