Guess GW1066G2 Phoenix Lion Black Silicone Strap Watch - W96427
Ref. GW1066G2
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 Phoenix line is Guess's most overtly theatrical — the lion's head embossed at the centre of the dial makes the design intent plain from the first glance. Rhinestones ring the dial and the coin-edge bezel adds further relief, so this is a watch that does not ask to go unnoticed. At 43mm and 11.15mm deep, the case sits wide and relatively flat on the wrist, carrying the gold PVD finish with a high-polish shine that doubles down on the drama. The black silicone strap is the deliberate counterweight — smooth, light and flexible against what is otherwise an all-gold, all-dressed aesthetic, and at 99 grams the combination is lighter than the look implies.

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?
25mm. 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.
