Guess GW1138G2 Beast Gold Tone Lion Dial Silicone Strap Watch - W96447
Ref. GW1138G2
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 Beast collection is built around attitude rather than utility — a lion's head rendered in gold on a black dial is not a quiet choice, and nothing about this watch pretends otherwise. The gold PVD case is the right frame for it: warm, high-contrast against the dark dial and strap, and at 44mm substantial enough to carry the emblem without the proportions feeling crowded. The black silicone strap keeps the watch light and casual in wear, which matters when the dial is doing this much visual work. Two hands, a simple read, nothing competing with the centrepiece.

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 comparedWhat size strap does it take?
22mm. 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.
