Guess GW1122G1 Blake Blue Chronograph Dial Bracelet Watch - W96448
Ref. GW1122G1
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 165 Guess watches in stock.The Blake collection sits in the part of Guess's range built for a clean, direct read — sports-adjacent styling without the bulk that usually comes with it. At 42mm the case is confident on the wrist without demanding attention, and 11mm of thickness keeps it civil beneath a cuff. The sunray blue dial catches directional light well, shifting between navy and a brighter mid-blue depending on the angle, and the chronograph subdials sit within it without cluttering the layout. The all-steel bracelet and case read as a considered match rather than an afterthought, and the folding clasp makes daily removal straightforward.

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 comparedIs it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as men's.
